Why do people deny evolution?

The religiously devout are wedded inseparably to a set of certainties, and are not open to anything to do with evidence.

And saying there isn't any such evidence, in the face of overwhelming evidence that this theory is indeed descriptive of observable facts, is merely stupid.

However, as you have already given us all ample evidence of your ignorance of the facts and pig-headed, stubborn stupidity, this is redundant.

Nor is there evidence for creation.

But you really didn't read my postings mate!!!!

I stated several times that I am not into creation at all!!!!

I asked you a few times to read my postings a bit better!!!!!
unfortunately you didn't.

It is also a way of defendfing your belief system.

You really have to think that I am a creationist (which I am not!!!) in order to 'get it' that I reject evolution.

I am ONLY rejecting evolution because of lack of evidence!

Just being veryy rationally and looking and all I see is lack of evidence.

'Scary' centipede's genes reveal how life evolved on our planet

Summary:
Centipedes, those many-legged creatures that startle us in our homes and gardens, have been genetically sequenced for the first time. An international team of over 100 scientists today reveals how this humble arthropod’s DNA gave them new insight into how life developed on our planet.

"The use of different evolutionary solutions to similar problems shows that myriapods and insects adapted to dry land independently of each other," said Chipman. "For example, comparing the centipede and insect genomes shows that they independently evolved different solutions to the same problem shared by all land-dwelling creatures -- that of living in dry air."
According to Chipman, the study found that despite being closely related to insects, the centipede lacks the olfactory gene family used by insects to smell the air, and thus developed its own air-sniffing ability by expanding other gene families not present in insects.
In addition, Chipman said, this specific group of centipedes live underground and have lost their eyes, together with almost all vision genes and genes involved in the body's internal clock. They maintain enhanced sensory capabilities enabling them to recognize their environment and capture prey.
Published in the latest edition of PLoS Biology, the research is a collaborative effort by over 100 scientists from 50 institutions. Thousands of human-hours went into looking at specific genes in the centipede genome, with each researcher looking at a limited set of genes or at specific structural characteristics to address specific questions.

You once had belief in this ****? LMAO

No, you didn't. Fossil records are abundant, and they increase with more findings as time goes by. If you had once believed in fossils, the fact that more are found would provide more support and evidence for evolution - not less.

You're a liar.

A growing body of evidence suggests that the passionate debate over public issues ranging from climate change to evolution has little to do with the facts.
