Evolution--No one believes in it

Words mean something. Using the word "believe" with evolution is a signal to the "little god"
Christians that science is just another belief system, no different than their own belief system.

Science is not a belief system. It is an evidence based system. No scientist believes in evolution. Evidence is gathered and allowed to lead to conclusions. Evidence for the old age of the earth and the changes in life over time has been gathered for more then two centuries. This overwhelming amount of evidence all leads to the conclusion that evolution happens.

Science based people accept evidence. We do not discard inconvenient facts like “belief system” people do. Scientific theory must accept and account for all evidence found.

Good scientists are no different than good detectives at the scene of a crime. They gather evidence and allow the evidence to lead them to a conclusion about who the probable culprit was. The more evidence the more certain the detective is. Scientists gather evidence about the earth and its history and allow the evidence to lead them to conclusions.

If a bloody glove is found at Nicole Brown Simpson's house and at OJs house, if OJs blood is found at her house and hers at his then logical people allowed the evidence to lead to a conclusion.

Little god Christians believe first and then "fix facts" around their belief. The facts may be unrelated to each other. The facts are always carefully selected so as to leave out the greater number of facts and evidence that lead in a different direction.

Whenever any person talks about "believing" in evolution they are falling into a logic trap set up by the little god Christians.

Try saying we understand the evidence and accept the conclusion that evolution happens.
