Ok, Ok, my conclusion was bogus (in the most liberal sense). However, macroevolution does not need to be observed it can be inferred. From the available evidence (i.e. fossils) we can make [flimsy-semi-plausible] inferences about a species development. There is however, no biological reaon why macro-evolution is impossible. This is what I meant by "evolution is true".

Please enjoy your religion but don't confuse your religion's foundation myths with reality
The fossil record is interpreted from the premise that macro-evolution did take place. Circular reasoning at best.

No, why do you conclude that? And how do you know we arent anyway? (Can I take your terrible grammer to mean that english is not your mother tongue?)
As you have made the claim that we are evolving , the burden of proof is yours.

Ok, but how old are the fossils?
Now if they are BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of years old, as Carl Sagan proposes,
that is incorrect.
Macroevolution? I don't know.
Have to read more on it.
What version of the bible do you have?

There are plenty of theists out there who don't have a problem with evolution and don't have to bamboozle their way out of anything.

I think it might take a while for the theists to bamboozle their way out of this one.

It is simply a preferd belief, disguised as Science, which cannot be demonstrated in the lab or reproduced as anything 'Scientific' should be.

I would totally agree with you if you would put an 'un' before the 'informed' and a 'macro' before 'evolution'. 😉
On matters of religion and science, if you've typed a single informed post, I missed it.
BTW, literalists and fundamentalists, as well as members of your cult, are not among those generally recognized by the term "informed."

Just a pity that you never seem to show the 'uninformed' the right way.
Btw: Were you referring to the Bible cult?
