A while ago we were having another discussion on evolution and someone gave a web address that was the best explanation of why it was true. This website provided evidence that showed that evolution is the only explanation for what we see in animals now.
Who was it and what was the website?

Here's one that will help set you straight.  http://www.intelligentdesign.org/

Curious why one gives a [bleep] whether proof exists or not? Clearly it goes either way. Is it OK for some to believe and some not? I mean what the [bleep]? Seems it is a personal thing that is defined, quite personally, as required. Nothing wrong with that IMO... Some believe, some not and either will receive the "wrath" they believe. [bleep], at least simple really for those not so worried...
Conduct is the best proof of character.

The argument for evolution is almost as strong as that for electricity and nuclear weapons. The article that I an seeking did an excelent job of showing this.

If you look for "proof", you will find it, whether or not it's truth.

intellegent desing is the biggest crock of chit there is....for every one thing that fits there is a dozen that show the "designer" had to have been high off his arse when he came up with it....a rabbits digestive system comes to mind..... not to mention the whole thing actually minimizes god when you get down to it....it teaches god is in the gaps there for the more science we understand the less god there is....but thats what you get from a theory that is mostly pushed by lawyers, not academics, not clergy.....its lawyers that picked up the ball an ran with this one to make money suing school districts....

IIRC Intelligent design came out of the Discovery institute in Seattle. After they lost in court over creation, they rewrote "Of people and panda's" replacing the words creation with intelligent design.

When your audience if RobJordorn, or other who wonder why a person would care about evidence, it's easy to lie to them, because they will never fact check your lies. Now with the internet, not only are we able to fact check their lies, we have access achieves where other have already done the fact checking, or posted youtube video's deconstruction their lies with facts and logic.
