You may give the answer because of fossil records or DNA, but since creationists can use the same evidence to support biblical creation I want you to give me a reason for why you have accepted the evolutionary explanation for the evidence rather than the creationist one. If you cannot give a good answer to this, than you are being arbitrary, and your position can be rightly dismissed as irrational. School? Pah. I used to be a Christian like you, until I took a dose of reason (delivered by a good friend now long gone but not forgotten) to the head.

You can try and use it, of course, but it doesn't support your evidence. I believe I made that quite clear already. I'm well aware that you would wish to decry anything disagreeing with as irrational, but for a moment, step away from that, and look at both sides of the story. On the one hand, we have an attempt to dismiss the peer-reveiwed fossil record as "fake", which you seem to support, but that whole approach requires complete ignorance of the scientific method. So allow me to enlighten you. No truth is necessarily truth, and it is as good to disprove someone else as it is to prove something as true. However, evolution, after being proven, I shall repeat proven - the scientific community accepts this as entirely true, and rightfully so - has not in fact been disproven. No matter how much you'd like it to be true, you're standing in sheer ignorance of what are, indeed, the facts. And that ignorance is not innocence.
