Evolution didn't happen, but is it possible?

Many things have been wildly believed by evolutionists which science has later proven wrong. Christians should not believe things because of popular opinion (as Galileo's Pope did)...but instead we believe the Word of God.

wait.....didn't Galileo's Pope say something like that?

"Evolutionists cling to their theory because it is the very basis for the way they look at the world, not because it has been proven accurate."

What's to spell out? I asked a question, I'm waiting for an answer. Maybe I should provide some clarity?

I'll put it this way: has one species ever been observed to adapt to its environment in a way that makes it physically or behaviorally distinct from the parent population?

That's not relevant to my original question. Here's what I asked for in the original post:

It seems you're trying to make the case that evolution is possible. That's not what I'm looking for.

So I'm to understand that you're flatly rejecting anything that contradicts what you wish was real?

So if I understand, you're saying that there is no argument against evolution's possibility. How do you support a negative claim like that?

Have you ever heard the term "circular reasoning?"

A scientist you're not.

A scientist tests his hypothesis and puts his research up to the scrutiny of the scientific community.

Seeing as what I believe to be true has stood up to decades of scientific scrutiny, and what you believe to be true can't stand up to the scrutiny of an online forum, I'd say I'm more of a scientist than ye

A scientist presents his findings. You claim that there exists no argument against evolution's possibility. So where's your evidence? And the word "Science" typed out on a keyboard doesn't qualify.

My evidence is that nobody for nearly two hundred years has been able to refute evolution. Indeed the more light is shined on the subject the more our confidence grows in evolutionary theory

Even if you were correct, it still doesn't speak to possibility. People weren't able to fly for thousands of years. That doesn't mean airplanes are impossible.

People still aren't able to fly. Planes fly. Helicopters fly. When we got the technology to build them, they flew. And actually, we know that balloons not unlike modern hot air balloons were in use by the Nazca people in Peru. They used them to construct their massive shapes in the landscape.


People haven't been able to shape shift into spaceships before. Is that possible too?

I suppose anything is possible.
