Evolution predicts nothing. Evolution scientists observe remains and tries to put a theory on what they find. The theory changes over time as contradictory evidence is found. It is evolution which slaves to it's theory, not fossils which tell them anything. I think it's all guess work "substantiated" by unprovable/anecdotal/circumstantial fossil records. And we have a long history of jumping to the wrong conclusions based on this kind of evidence. But that's just my opinion.

Your religion is all guesswork "substantiated" by anecdotes. Science has moon landings.
"And we have a long history of jumping to the wrong conclusions based on this kind of evidence."
Yes we see that all the time.
"But that's just my opinion. "
Which you've shown is not worth much.
Creationism predicts nothing. Creation "scientists" observe 4000-year-old stories and try to find facts to fit their conclusions. The conclusions never change over time, despite any contradictory evidence being found. It is creationism which slaves people to its nonsense, not reality which refutes what they believe. I think it's all blind faith "substantiated" by unprovable/anecdotal/circumstantial "miracles." And they have a long history of making wild leaps of "logic" based on this kind of evidence. But that's just my opinion.
Fixed.
Do you mean to tell me that those ScIeNtists actually have the nerve to start with observation and then fit theory to it, instead of starting with dogma and then cherry-picking, shoehorning, or just making up observations to fit? That when the evidence proves them wrong, they admit it? Say it isn't so!
P.S. As another Dave, I hereby revoke your Dave privileges.
"Evolution predicts nothing."
So, you've never actually studied evolution, have you?
IN A BEGINNING Created by the Elohim were the heavens and the earth.
Yet if you show a Christian the above, they'll go into a tizzy. That's a literal/exact translation from the Hebrew versions of the Torah (first 5 books of the OT). Elohim is plural and no, it does not mean the Trinity. And if it did mean the Trinity, then it is still plural, meaning different entities.
So which god created the earth then? What say you now, evidence?
@AuroaMike
Don't be silly, you know the OT has nothing to do with Christianity, except when they want to bash homos and pretend that they actually have a grasp of a book that isn't theirs when it comes to "origins."
Fail.
Evolution, or genetics to be accurate, predicts many things. For instance, one can predict that breeding plants or animals for a particular trait can achieve the predicted results. Heck! Sheep, cows, goats, dogs, cats, grapes, corn, wheat, apples, and countless other organisms, are the results of selective breeding to achieve a PREDICTED end product.
Then, of course, there are countless instances of fossils which have confirmed predictions about "missing links". Consider all the intermediate fossils that have been found since the publication of The Origin of Species. Fossils which Darwin predicted.
Evolution scientists observe remains and tries to put a theory on what they find. The theory changes over time as contradictory evidence is found.
Exactly, that's how science works, unlike your religion, which tries to pretend that any evidence that contradicts it doesn't exist.
And evolution predicts lots of things, and those predictions have been born out by experimental and observational evidence.

The theory changes over time as contradictory evidence is found.
Yeah, they find new evidence new evidence and they incorporate it, change failed hypotesis, create new ones. All in order to brush the theory and giving it more and more sense.
And what does creationism do? Use the same old book. No changes.
"The theory changes over time as contradictory evidence is found."
As opposed to Creationism, which boldly remains the same in the face of contradictory evidence.
It's ALWAYS evolution with you "Christians"
He's ALMOST partly right. But he's wrong in why. Yes, science sometimes gets things wrong as new findings occur. This is the way science works. And when science is wrong, scientists know to admit to it. But they are not purposefully wrong. They give the answers they think is best based on the evidence at hand. At least science is able to admit to this. Fundies, on the other hand, believe they have an absolute monopoly on the truth, and are not willing to admit when they are wrong when reason and logic show otherwise, they just come up with even more insane theories to substantiate their crazy ideas. This is mental derangement. If you are willing to close your eyes to reality in favor of fairy tales, you have severe problems, and are not in any place to judge as evil those who can accept reality for what it is. Get over yourself, open your eyes, and exercise your mind.
"Evolution scientists observe remains and tries to put a theory on what they find. The theory changes over time as contradictory evidence is found."
I agree; you cretinists do have a long history of jumping to the wrong conclusions. Mostly based on no evidence at all.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
