In yet another debate about the validity of Evolution...
There is more than a mountain of evidence to support Creation; It's called the Universe and all that is within it. That it is created, is self evident.
.
Just because you can't understand it doesn't make it any less true. Perhaps your not as smart as you'd like to think.
He is then asked: Examples of this evidence, please.
1.Open your eyes.
2.Look around you.
3.Choose something.
.
There is your evidence.

Oh God. That wanker. I have conversed with him at length. The best he's got is what I like to call the Once More Theory of No It Isn't. He claims there's no evidence for evolution, then when you tell him about genetics, nested hierarchy, ring species, observed speciation etc, he simply repeats that there's no evidence for evolution.

"he simply repeats that there's no evidence for evolution."
You say that like he's the only one who does this. This tactic is Evolution Denial 101, deny any and all evidence presented even if it makes sense.
Also, like how once_more never actually points out how the evidence supports his conclusion.
"Just because you can't understand it doesn't make it any less true."
Before you continue, put these sunglasses on so you won't be blinded by your shiny mirror.
"There is more than a mountain of evidence to support Creation; It's called the Universe and all that is within it."
I don't know about you guys, but my universe is a tad bigger than a mountain.
[There is more than a mountain of evidence to support Creation; It's called the Universe and all that is within it.]
The existence of the Universe is not proof that it was created.
[That it is created, is self evident.]
You're begging the question, and no, it isn't self-evident.
[Just because you can't understand it doesn't make it any less true.]
The same is true for you and evolution.
[Perhaps your not as smart as you'd like to think.]
You're redirecting. The problem is not our intelligence or our understanding of your evidence. The problem is that you don't have any evidence .
1.Open your eyes. 2.Look around you. 3.Choose something. There is your evidence.
OK, I see a white sandy beach. Why is the beach covered with white sand? Because God put it there? No. It evolved. The ocean beats against rocks until one by one, they dissolve (mutation). Quartz is one of the hardest common minerals. It's white or golden colored. Eventually, quartz is almost the only thing left (survival of the fittest, or in this case, the hardest).

Harlequin Baby Syndrome is evidence for your creator? I'm not so sure you thought out this whole line of reasoning.
Recite the bible verses that says God created the universe.
He only created the heaven and the earth, but not the other planets or the black holes or anything else in the universe.
The universe itself creates a hole in the bible.
It's like they all went to the Special Forces School for the Stupid.
"Assume nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations."
"Just because you can't understand it doesn't make it any less true. Perhaps your not as smart as you'd like to think."
Once_more, just because you don't understand the basic principles of grammar and logic doesn't make them any less true. Perhaps you're not as smart as you'd like to think.
Reality ergo God?
You need to show your work for full credit, hun.
@Nightboomfer
Silly, those are the Devil's work. Everyone knows that all the bad things are Satan's fault.
Eyes open. Natural explanations for the natural. Nature is beautiful... damn bee trying to sting me. No empirical evidence that any god, goddess, or plural created any of it. Maybe god is a stupid bee!! Damnit!!
Am I really the only one...
1) Open your eyes
2) Look up to the skies and see
3) I'm just a poor boy...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
