Oh, my: I am embarrassed for Bill. ..
...Who thinks that "evolution is fact" contributes to some problem or other?

Can somebody, anybody please list the first half dozen examples of honest
to goodness evolution that come to mind for Bill's sake?
Perhaps suggest an experiment that might take him less than a week from start
to finish, that would demonstrate, absolutely, conclusively,
no ifs - no buts - that evolution is a hum-drum fact of life.

Bill seems to be confusing the details of the various theories of evolution by
natural selection (which are open to scientific debate) and evolution,
which is about as controversial as the fact that matter has mass.
