  You think I'm just going to sit here and watch you spout a bunch of lies when I know evolution isn't true?

  That's exactly what you are doing. I have produced dozens of pages of thoroughly researched scientific evidence on this forum. I have posted a link to 3.7 MILLION peer reviewed papers.

  All you do is rant and rave. You admit having never read a single book on biological evolution in your life and yet you shout your facile opinions. You demonstrate the contrast between science and ideology every time you post.

  Engage with the evidence!

  Three times I have asked you the same question and three times you have declined to answer it.

  Imagine you are a teacher and you suspect that some of your pupils have been copying each other's essays. When you challenge them they claim that they are innocent and the similarities only show that they all used the same sources for their research.

  How would you prove beyond all doubt that one or more of your students had in fact been cheating?

  Why do you spout nasty lying vitriolic bullshit and end it with a happy emoji? Have you absolutely no self-awareness? This isn't a childish game. We are talking about serious truths.

  Hi Jofi_Wofo

  There are a few excellent books that are aimed at the non-academic. I would suggest approaching them with a motive to learn the subject for the personal pleasure rather than the ability to debate creationists.

  Why Evolution is True - Jerry Coyne is a nice start.

  The Blind Watchmaker - Richard Dawkins tackles the argument from design in huge detail

  Your Inner Fish - Neil Shubin is a fascinating story of his discovery of an important transitional fossil but covers a lot of other evidences for evolution

  Endless Forms Most Beautiful - Sean B Carroll looks at Evolutionary Developmental Biology (Evo-Devo) which is how small tweaks to certain genes can create huge changes in the phenotype

  Life Ascending and The Vital Question by Nick Lane are among my favourites but they are not easy reading. They will give you an appreciation of the state of current research into the origin of life

  Why Darwin Matters - Michael Shermer covers the Intelligent Design movement.

  There are many more but these will give you a few ideas

  Every time you post you expose your complete ignorance of the science.

  Please answer my question and then we can talk about racism if you must

  I asked you this previously when you tried to dismiss genetic evidence but you ignored it.

  Imagine you are a teacher and you suspect that some of your pupils have been copying each other's essays. When you challenge them they claim that they are innocent and the similarities only show that they all used the same sources for their research.

  How would you prove beyond all doubt that one or more of your students had in fact been cheating?

  You make yourself sound silly when you use phrases like ' bunch of bunk'. Let's just stick to discussing facts please.

  The ONLY evidence that is necessary to prove common ancestry beyond all doubt is genetic.

  This science was unknown to all the men and women who developed the idea of evolution by natural selection.

  The entire edifice was rebuilt on a brand new foundation and it confirms that Darwin had been largely correct.

  Ernst Haeckel was wrong about much of his hypothesis - but not entirely.

  The fact of common ancestry in no way rests on his idea that phylogeny recapitulates ontogeny. This demonstrates your reliance on social 'science' rather than actual science.
