What's wrong with 19th century science or 17th century science for that matter? We still learn Newton's laws of motion in highschool physics and it is good enough to explain and predict motion in many common situations.

Explain to me how evolution is taken on just as much faith as Christianity. Your whole post reeks of contradiction as you criticise evolutionary dogma and state it's reliance on faith without any evidence to back up your point. So we are to discard evolutionary dogma for your own? Natural selection at least has the good sense to put 'theory' in front of it to remind us that it is to be questioned and challenged, and not to be taken as infallible or unquestionable, unlike your point which we are expected to take on faith.

 

Most of what evolution is based is wrong by 20th century science. Even Darwin himself didn't take it as absolute truth. It's mostly a view for those who are atheist and need belief to where we come from. But where is all this supposed proof? It doesn't exist.

 

 

No Darwin didn't take it as absolute truth and do you know why? Because he knew it was a theory. He knew he was right, he could prove he was. He justs didn't have the means to work out the specifics and we are still doing that today, working out the specifics to better understand the theory, that's what science does. We know we are right and if we are not right then whatever theory replaces evolution should be very similar to support all the evidence we have already found.

As for proof evolution happens, what do you need?

How about bacteria developing a resistance to antibiotics?

How about elephants growing smaller tusks because poachers kill the ones with big tusks?

How about evolution in ourselves, evolving from our primate ancestors into modern humans?

 

Here is what you called "the suppossed truth" that doesn't exist. Come up with equal or greater proof for a creator, because this is pretty convincing arguements for evolution IMO.
