Facts and discussion on evolution fills many books, but when you condense it down to four basic points, those volumes will be much easier to understand.

LoL – ok, I’ll be that jerk that points out the mistyped “Scintists.” I say mistype because I’m sure you know how to spell it. :)
Also – I totally wish I knew Brian and Eileen!

Why is it that evolution and Big Bang, both admitted to be THEORIES by all who believe them, are constantly presented as FACT? I’m not a creationist of any kind, but there isn’t enough evidence to prove either (although evolution is getting there, if you put your faith in radio-carbon dating, which expects us to believe in particles which can never actually be seen by humans, and whose existence is “proven” using, guess what, theories.)
