I've never met an Evolutionist who was capable of an honest debate. It
doesn't take a genius to see that gravity, lightning, tornadoes, cancer,
etc. are things that we can see and test -- even if there are things about
them we can't yet explain. Evolution is something that we've neither seen
nor can we explain. Here is where the Evolutionist demonstrates his
dishonesty again by insisting that we can see Evolution (his birth changed
the allele frequencies of his species), even though he knows that I'm
talking about macro-evolution, specifically, the indefinite increase in the
complexity of life over time.

Yet another point of dishonest debate by Evolutionists. The "scientific
literature" means "peer reviewed" means that any interpretation not in
accord with Evolution is censored. Even if the Evolutionist wants to lie
and insist that Creationist views aren't censored, it's still nothing but an
appeal to authority.
