Atheists are you aware that Evolution is a "RELIGION" based on FAITH?
Atheists are you acutely aware that tecnically Evolution is not "SCIENCE" by virtue of the definition?
Evolution is not TESTABLE nor is it OBSERVBLE and REPEATABLE.
Evolution is a theory based on conjectures, assumptions, and much guess work. It cannot be verified because there were no witnesses around to vouch for it millions of years ago. It's all a lie, just like the Piltdown hoax that lasted for over 40 long years.
Evolution technically is based on FAITH just as CREATION is based on Faith. Evolution requires millions and billions of years without any witnesses to verify their conclusions as fact. Their findings are all subjective at best, but can not be proven as fact.
Therefore one can easily conclude that Evolution is technically a "Religion" rather than a Science. Both Creation and Evolution require a leap of FAITH. There is absolutely no way an Atheist can disprove the existence of God. There is absolutely no way an Atheist can disprove the age of the Earth at less than 10,000 years.
The Theist can conclude by the evidence of Life in this present word that a "Higher Power" or Intelligent Being created life on Planet Earth by some mysterious way not known by man.
GOD exists!

If you have ever been in a court of law you would know that evolution would not have a leg to stand on. The simple fact is saying people have proof is not proof. Believing people have proof is not proof. No fossil has been found that goes outside it's species ever. When they test the fossils or what not it comes out what ever species it is. Lucy is a hoax. Pelt down man is a hoax. All finds that they say are true examples are hoaxes after being tested. Pelt down man was proven to be made from a pigs tooth and yet it stayed in textbooks for years after it was proven to be a hoax. Lucy has a body of a chimp and the skull was found miles away. They did not tell people that the body was chimp. They showed the skull and said here is proof. The skull is human. How is that possible? A human head but an ape body? Saying someone is not educated is not proof. Relying on what someone told you to be true is not proof. How can you say a book written 400 years ago is true when the Bible that was written 2000 years ago and has testimonies from thousands of witnesses is false? Your books were written by 1 or 2 people each and is less then 2000 years old. The Bible has witnesses in the thousands and is written by many people who even though you think there are many discrepancies there stories still line up with the facts. They are being told in different ways using different views. It is no different then a group of people seeing an accident. All their stories will tell you there was an accident but each story will be different in how each individual saw the accident. That is true and real. Please people use your brains and stop relying on what people call experts. You all have brains use them and stop quoting others and using what they say as proof. It is not proof without being observed using 1 of the 5 senses. If you can not atleast use 1 of your 5 senses then it is not proof. Since no one was there during the dinosaurs then how can they know for sure there were no people there? They can not. So how is it they have proof otherwise? Please reflect on this this is proof they are wrong in what they say. How can they say it and be sure if they say no one was there? You are putting your faith in people who you say without a doubt are correct. That is what faith is. You have no proof they are so you have to go by what they say and accept it. That is faith. No fossil has ever been found that goes outside it's species ever. If it is the flu then it did not evolve it adapted. Otherwise why and how can you say it's the flu. If it changed and evolved it must become something other then the flu in order to say it evolved. It adapted is what it did that is not evolution. This is real science people and not the bull that others wish you to believe. The flu is the flu otherwise if it was something else why call it the flu? I hope I am getting through to people! If not then there is no hope for you and you are now prisoners of your own beliefs and faith.
This is no different then saying because your son does not look like you is because he evolved. His looks are evolution and not just because he's an individual. Is he not human? Just because the flu changes does not mean it is not the flu. Evolution says that it is on it's way to becoming something else. It will never happen. He will always be your son and the flu will always be the flu.
Evolution has done a worse job at tainting real science then any religious organization has ever.

ALL human knowledge are based on FAITH. Only if a being have absolute knowledge can that being state that their knowledge is based on absolute facts. Human do not have absolute knowledge, so all human knowledge is based on FAITH. What makes one human position greater than another is the evidence that support its faith claims.
Deficiencies in the evidence that support Evolution.
1. Not Observable
2. No Transitional forms seen in the fossil record or existing today
3. Mathematically impossible via a spontaneous process ( Random Mutation)
With this kind of deficiency in the evidence that support evolution, persons who still believe that it is true are FANATICALLY RELIGIOUS.

Well first of all we have proved that the world is older than 10,000 years, all you have to do is look at how old fossils are.
We can also see evolution happen, for example the cold and flu virus is always mutating and changing to become immune to medication, and it's because of this that the only way to get rid of them is our bodies natural defences. The same with bacteria becoming immune to anti-biotics which has been watched and studied in laboratories.
Evolution hardly requires faith as there is a lot more evidence for it than any religion.
Evolution is also a theory, it changes are adapts due to the new evidence we find and add to it, science is always improving. Just like gravity, that's a theory however we certainly know it exists. (Extra note: Science theories are different to regular theories)

It is a religion that do not have scientific proof to back it up and need faith to believe in it.
It is a counterfeit religion using the stamp of scientificly sound approach.
The evolutionist sobatage the excellent article written as follows, do check it out:
Theory of Evolution, Finally proved wrong!!!

The theory of evolution is based on solid evidence. It has been tested for the past 150 years and has always come through with flying colors.
One test is performed every time a paleontologist digs in geologic strata. The results of that test verify evolution and falsify the creation model.
Evolutionary theory would be falsified if fossils of any of the 5,000 present-day species of mammals, including human, or the 10,000 present-day species of birds were found in the fossil strata where they should not be found (for example, in the same strata with dinosaur fossils). No such finds have been made. But, according to the creationist flood "model" those species should be found in those strata.
The sequence of fossils in the geologic strata shows an evolutionary progression from simple organisms through more complex, replacing one another over time consistent with evolutionary theory.
Note the appearance of types of organisms over time in these tables:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_time_scale#T...
Here are some other examples in which the theory of evolution has been tested.

I could have provided more, but I don't want to use up my limits for links yet. Check out my answer here to find out the validity of evolution.

And that is only a very small part of the massive amount of evidence for evolution.

But if you won't believe any of that, perhaps you will rethink things after seeing what CREATIONIST Todd C. Wood, a Research/Associate Professor of Science at the Christian-based Bryon College, says about evolution, and note what he says about evolution NOT being a religion:
"Evolution is not a theory in crisis. It is not teetering on the verge of collapse. It has not failed as a scientific explanation. There is evidence for evolution, gobs and gobs of it. It is not just speculation or a faith choice or an assumption or a religion. It is a productive framework for lots of biological research, and it has amazing explanatory power. There is no conspiracy to hide the truth about the failure of evolution. There has really been no failure of evolution as a scientific theory. It works, and it works well.
"I say these things not because I'm crazy or because I've "converted" to evolution. I say these things because they are true. I'm motivated this morning by reading yet another clueless, well-meaning person pompously declaring that evolution is a failure. People who say that are either unacquainted with the inner workings of science or unacquainted with the evidence for evolution. (Technically, they could also be deluded or lying, but that seems rather uncharitable to say. Oops.)
"Creationist students, listen to me very carefully: There is evidence for evolution, and evolution is an extremely successful scientific theory."
But, of course, since he is a creationist, he then he goes on to say:
"That doesn't make it ultimately true, and it doesn't mean that there could not possibly be viable alternatives. It is my own faith choice to reject evolution, because I believe the Bible reveals true information about the history of the earth that is fundamentally incompatible with evolution."
http://toddcwood.blogspot.com/2009/09/truth-about-...
So there you have it. The Bible is the word of god, period, and the facts be damned.
Do you think you know more about evolution than he does?
Added:
@shawn: "Pelt down man was proven to be made from a pigs tooth and yet it stayed in textbooks for years after it was proven to be a hoax."
He can't even spell the name right! It's Piltdown, and it was not based on a tooth. It was based on a skull and jawbone. And it was evolutionary scientists who exposed it as a fraud. And it was not in textbooks after it was exposed.
@shawn: "Lucy has a body of a chimp and the skull was found miles away. They did not tell people that the body was chimp."
The body was not a chimp's body and it and the skull were found in the same location, not miles apart. You are either a liar or you're repeating a lie.
Lucy was bipedal, as indicated by her pelvis which was more like a human pelvis than an ape pelvis.
Compare Lucy's pelvis with that of a chimp and human.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_%28fossil%29

Furthermore, several other australopithecine (the type of hominid that Lucy belonged to) specimens have been found, including several nearly complete skulls.

Actually I do not think you know enough about science to say these kinds of things. LOL!
Evolution has been tested, and proven. You guys are SILLY! Evolution is not Faith based, HAHAHAHAHA!
I have done repeatable experiments on foxes, and insects, trust me evolution exists, but it does not work they way you think. We are a product of chance and necessity.
And if you really knew the origin and fate of this universe that we live in, you would go CRAZY! It took me a while to digest it myself.

We just love the way BAD christians lie for their god! It makes all christians look ignorant and silly and drives all thinking people away!
Have you realized that you have qualified for hell yet?
The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept the big bang and evolution!
Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”!
Nice that christians and atheists can agree and laugh together even if it is at fundie expense!
But behind the laughter is the despair at the fundamentalists striving so hard to destroy christianity by turning it from a religion to an ideology!

No, sweety. Evolution is not based on faith, faith is the belief in that for which there is no proof - that is the definition of religion. There is plenty of verifiable evidence for evolution - if you choose to look at it. Words written in a book is not proof of anything - even if you quote it in caps lock. There is not proof that God exist. Happy New Year.

We have observed evolution happen in the last hundred years
Examples:
Antibiotic resistance
Elephants evolving short tusks due to poaching
New species of midges adapting to live on the london underground
Different coloured moths evolving due to industrial revolution
Also laboratory experiments have succeeded in showing bacteria evolving due to artificially introduced selection pressures
Of course we cannot see the ENTIRE history of our own evolution but there are vast amounts of compelling evidence that we evolved. Ignoring the theory because we still have gaps in our knowledge and it mostly happened in the past is as silly as assuming the big bang did not happen because nobody was there to see it.

The Theory of Evolution is testable, observable and repeatable.
If explains current facts and makes prediction of future facts which so far were right.
Want to disprove it? Easy, find a rabbit in the pre-Cambrian geological layer.
Should be piece of cake if rabbits were "created" at the same time with all others.
