P.S. Russ you are wrong (this, followed by an explanation why)
No, actually you are wrong.
No you're wrong. No you are. No you. You. You. Nuh uh! My Daddy can beat your Daddy at chess! While this may seem wildly sarcastic and rude of me, I'm sure you see from a debating standpoint how illogical it is to just say someone is wrong and end the statement like that without any supporting evidence. What's that? You have supporting evidence below, you say? Let's have a look.
(1) How safe amalgam fillings are (the scientific evidence says so!)
(2) How safe vaccines are (the scientific evidence says so!)
(3) How safe Aspartame is (the scientific evidence says so!)
(4) How good fluoride is for you (the scientific evidence says so!)
(5) How Vioxx is safe too! (the scientific evidence says so!)
"They" say diet cola is OK for you too but it sure as heck ain't! That in no way falsifies evolution -- nor do I even so much as see a parallel here (other than your own imaginary parallel). For that matter, even if some people
were using evolution to exploit this or that, it does not invalidate evolution, it simply means some people are using it for illicit purposes.
Rocks and water simply do not conspire together to become highly-complex, self-aware, self-reproducing, symmetrical machines.
Could you point me towards one individual or school of thought which makes this claim? Repeating it over and over like a mantra won't make it any more true. It's a clever tactic though. On a semi-unrelated note I'm rather fond of music played on the hammered dulcimer. Perhaps if I run around and routinely say that hammered dulcimer music is so incredibly popular today people will begin to follow suit and thereby
make it popular.
Listing a bunch of conspiracy theories and then saying how everyone has been fooled by them is not invalidating proof for evolution. If you want to disprove evolution, I'd suggest you stay on the subject of evolution itself.
