Why don't you accept the theory of evolution?

It seems often to be the case that there is simply a lack of understanding.
What specific issues do you have with evolution theory?

There is nothing I find compelling.
It is as dead as Darwin.

Specifically what are one or two issues you have with it?

lol well that's just not true. It's very much alive and kicking. Quite popular.

I just don't see it as intelligent science?
You do?

@Pfuzylogic:

Sure.
Why don't you see it as good science?
What's missing? What specific criticism do you have for the theory?

@UnparalleledMonster: What is there supporting it?
It barely crosses the threshold of theory.
Most believe that there is nothing else that is possible so they fall back on it.
You would think by now the theory of natural selection would have evolved or improved by some scientist by now. I mean how long how this dead theory been around?

@Pfuzylogic: What supports it is human observations over the last 150 years, the fossil record, the fields of paleontology, biology, zoology, etc. There is not a single theory of evolution--there are several, mainly differing in the details on what drives evolutionary changes and how quickly these changes occur. So it is inaccurate to say that evolution, and natural selection, have not been "improved" since they were originally postulated.

@UnparalleledMonster: You might want to learn how to make working on pasting links that are usable.
It isn't that difficult.
If you need help with
that you can PM me.

@Pfuzylogic:

Don't know what to tell you, man.
It works fine for me. Try removing everything before www.
Or just google talk origins 29 evidences for macroevolution. First result

@UnparalleledMonster:
Evolution is not directly observable.
It depends on carbon dating.
There you go.
I tend to disregard links anyways.
There is no skill in arguing that way.
I like to see it all here.
Now I gave you something to counterattack.

I just saw your support and one of your comments has 2 copies.
It can be difficult to debate here.

@Pfuzylogic:

It's not a question of skill. You wanted facts and there they are. In abundance.

Evolution is directly observable through speciation and of course indirectly observable through the fossil record.

What about carbon dating?
