What facts about evolution have been proven wrong?

I keep seeing all these people claiming that there are a ton of facts about that have been proven wrong. So would someone mind telling me what these facts are and how they disprove evolution because I'm not seeing them.

    Haven't gotten an answer from a rabid creationist yet. Bummer. Maybe the cut and paste feature at Answers in Genesis is broken?

    Whenever you ask a question about what "has been proven" ... always make sure you ask ...

    ... *BY WHOM*?

    What is the source? Is it a scientist publishing a paper in a peer-reviewed science journal? Or just some bozo with a degree in "religious education" and a web site?

    That's really really important. In fact, it is the entire point!

    11 hours and they are yet to post the facts that disprove evolution.

    Perhaps they are being selfish and dont want us in heaven, but Occams razor dictates that they dont actually have any facts.

    You would of thought people so sure would have more than an elusive feeling.

  • Scientists are trying to prove evolution wrong all the time.

    That's what scientists do---they attempt to undermine their own theories. Its part of the scientific method that you so love to skip. Its called testing

    If you say microevolution is the reason you are so mislead. The claim that microevolution is qualitatively different from macroevolution is fallacious as the main difference between the two processes is that one occurs within a few generations, whilst the other is seen to occur over thousands of years . Essentially you are describing the same process.

    People don't seem to understand that SCIENTISTS are trying to prove evolution wrong all the time.

    That's what scientists do---they attempt to undermine their own theories.

    That's the difference between a scientist and a creationist.

    So far, there may be some gaps in our knowledge of all the processes of evolution, but it will NEVER be disproved, any more than GRAVITY will be disproved.

    it may change, there may be new wrinkles, but if you think evolution isn't true, you are, forgive me, pretty feeble-minded.

    Well there was PILTDOWN MAN, but that was an intentional fraud. Other than that, none that I can think of.

    Oh, there was a paleontologist who found a bone and built a dinosaur around it, only to find out it was a chicken bone. But that was disproved as a urban legend many years ago.

    People love to throw the fact that science is a theory, and theories cannot be solid proof. Which is true, but the truth is every scientific, medical, mathematical, anything, is theory. Yet the world does seem to function with technology. Yet another theory.

    Perhaps punctuated equilibrium has taken over the older, "gradual" theory. Still works to prove evolution though.

    You know the answer is none, but you have opened the floodgates of ignorance. Stand clear!

    Well, this will be interesting, I doubt anything will crop up other than "damn athiests, damn em, with their science, who needs science anyways. please disregard the fact I am using a computer."
