 RT> They have already. The theories are tested continuously by
 RT> evolutionists themselves. That's why its called a science.
Evolution is called science for the sake of authority.  What
other options?  An atheist can't say "God said so."
 RT> Incorrect. The evolutionists are split into two schools of thought
 RT> about this. There are 'gradualists' and 'punctuationists'.
True.  There's Dawkins vs. Gould as the pop leaders of the two
groups.  Why isn't the issue settled?
 RT> But we HAVE transitional forms. They are not non-existent merely rare.
 RT> As one would expect if the punctuated evolution theory is correct.
Given that there are billions of dug-up fossils in all sorts
of conditions (bone fragments, deformed creatures, etc.), given
that there is a *huge* diversity of life, given that some people
want to find transitionals, don't you think even if Evolution
were false that there would be found some fossils which look
transitional?
 
 RT> We have fossils with ages running up to 600 million years old. That's
 RT> a lot longer than 6000 years. Please explain why we have fossils of
 RT> this age if the earth is only 6000 years old as creationists claim.
You're trying to stipulate something that I don't agree to.
There aren't any fossils that are 600 million years old.
 RT> Not all evolutionists are atheists but they aren't creationists in the
 RT> fundamentalist sense. ie. they don't believe the world was created in
 RT> 6 days 6000 years ago.
The loudest proponents of Evolution are atheists.
