Because I have to say, I'm stunned. Honestly. Have you looked at the amount of evidence out there? Have you considered it? Have you really sat down and looked at the fossils and the DNA and so forth? If you have, why isn't it enough? What more do you need? Do you need to observe speciation actually happen? Because it has; we've actually seen it happen. There is a species of mosquito that only lives in the London Underground; that's its environment. And that's one example; there was another one recently about lizards, though I don't remember where I read about it. (Probably in another Expelled thread.)

And if you haven't, which you obviously haven't . . . well, why haven't you? Do you really feel you don't have to? Do you really feel you should trust Ben Stein over the literally thousands of people whose jobs rely on predictions being made successfully by evolutionary theory? If Ben Stein told you that you could jump off a bridge without falling because gravity is "only a theory," would you?

And, yes, all but that last are really questions that I really intend for you to answer.
Why am I so easy to ignore? Seriously. I've begun thinking that it's because so many of my questions are unambiguous. If answered plainly, it shows the faults of the answerer's thinking.
