Fact or fiction?
Evolution is just a hypothesis. Christianity can be more closely proven the evolution.

You know, it is more likely that a car repair shop that explodes will create a car then evolution would to create a human being. Take you eye for example. It didn't just happen. It is too complex. You got the shape of the eye, you got the muscles around the eye, you have the eye lid, you have a constantly changing pupil, you have a lense, you have optic nerves, and you have the groves in the eye that direct sunlight. That could've just not have HAPPENED. Its to improbable. And you have 2 eyes plus a program or something in the brain (which couldn't have just happened,) which reverses the image so that you see straight. You see, we couldn't have evolved from an amemoba so that means that we must have been created.

How do you know the way we are looking is straight? Maybe evolution meant us to see the other way and we just got it fucked up in our minds. I think the fact that we are so clunky and akward is due to evolution.

There's plentiful evidence of evolution. For example, the immune system has clearly arisen from a number of inferior prior systems. There's a tangible line of evolution in a number of species.

And as far as the eye is concerned... Eyes evolved from eye-spots which are still present in a variety of unicellular organisms. That gave way to an optic nerve in more complicated multiple organisms, feeble eyes in certain reptiles and amphibians, and on to the more complex eyes in mammals and birds. There's a very clear evolution there. Also keep in mind that this kind of evolution had millions of years to take place -- that's a lot of random combinations.

I do have trouble fathoming how wings came about though. Something so sudden a departure from normal land life is just hard to understand. I mean, sure, you figure that there are flying squirrels or something like that that just have folds of skin on which to glide, but there's a very sudden evolutionary change requisite for the appearance of wings as a survival advantage. Little stubs that barely let you get off the ground won't be much of an advantage, so there's no reason to think that nature would select for it.

I doubt evolution is as far-reaching as it is claimed to be, but I don't think you can deny its existence altogether like you're trying.

Another fundie who doesn't understand the scientific process. I'm not even going to waste my time with this beyond this post.
