“Evolution (and I am an evolutionist) is only investigated for promotion, not falsification and as such is a religion”- that is one silly statement. Countless studies on a daily basis are being done on human DNA, fossils, and other related fields which can find out something new that would falsify the theory of evolution, yet none of them have done so. Your claim that evolution is only investigated for promotion is silly and I highly doubt you are actually a person who accepts the theory but rather is a creationist in disguise. Comparing theory of evolution to religion is one of the clues a creationist person would state. Anyone who knows anything about the evolution would never make that comparison.

Great point, a religion is anything which is mandatory to believe, but prohibited falsification. Evolution (and I am an evolutionist) is only investigated for promotion, not falsification and as such is a religion. We need to thoroughly vett the genome of every animal and match that to our cladistic presumptions before we can say that we have tested Evolution for falsification. Anything short of that, is a half hearted way of avoiding it and making it into a religion rather than a science. I like Evolution the science, but will not allow myself to make it into my religion.

Of course, you won’t actually do so, studies have shown that people tend to avoid or attack anything that does not agree with their established worldview, with a stronger tendancy in those who self-identified as religious, conservative, or Republican.

Evidence to disprove evolution would be anything in the fossil record or tree of life that did not fit the theory. Nothing like that has been found. Instead, multiple, seperate fields of science all support evolution in different ways. If you really have any interest in understanding why evolution is a fact, watch the Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism videos on YouTube, Aron can explain far better than I can.

@2 Admitting you are wrong is not a virtue relative to not being wrong in the first place. Evolution consistently makes claims and then unmakes them and in the process feels proud of itself that its “Fact” is now more of a fact.

What experimental evidence would disprove evolution?
Nothing

Therefore evolution is a religious belief.

Saying evolution did it is like saying God did it but he is your friend and you are in on the secret. Every time you are wrong you can just say your friend was pulling a trick on you. But the fact that he is pulling tricks on you just proves how close of friends you really are and now you are REALLY in the know with this new theory.

@1: The scientific point of view adjusts to new and better information as it becomes available, reflecting our ability to reason and learn. We don’t already feel we know everything worth knowing, and “God did it” is the same as “I don’t understand.”

Yet another example of incorrect assumptions being proven wrong. This revelation and others like it will be conveniently forgotten each and every time someone wants to talk about the origins of man from their preconceived point of view based on flimsy theories.
