Evolution. Natures greatest science.
Seeing as no-one visits that "prove evolution" thread anymore, I decided to quote this and post it in a new thread. Asta la vista.

The fact of the matter is, no matter what you post/link to, people are gonna believe what they wanna believe. It is the rare kind of individual who is ready to accept Truth, no matter where it may lead him/her.Compounding the above is, most people consider themselves that rare kind of individual.
The best approach is to understand their belief and then ask questions until they just walk away. This may seem futile at first, but every time a person is exposed to the edges of their beliefs, they get a better picture of themselves. After all, you can’t change anyone, only they can change themselves. The harder that a person fights against compelling truth, the more the conflict takes place in their mind. This may lead to the person changing their mind some time down the road. However, do not attach yourself to their change, for that will only lead to suffering.

Originally posted by MindshipI don't know, though once people start looking at some facts, you just got to see some truths, but still there are things that go beyond our understanding.

You don't convince people with links or parroting another's words; you can only even attempt to make an effort by providing an argumentive stance that they can see and make sense of. You must be able to point out where their stance is faulty, and why; not just bash it into submission with personal prejudice. You have to provide as much proof as you can muster for your own argument, and never lose sight of the big picture. It's easy to get caught up in rebutting little points, but that can escalate into back and forths and disagreements on small points that pale in comparison to the big issue.
Now, that having been said, that link proves nothing. I am a supporter of evolution, and I have no motivation to click that link. You want to entertain me, provide a post filled with information and not just blatant religion bashing and science parading.
