EDIT: Let's cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We're not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don't believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I'm sure almost everybody has something to add.

In my experience, nobody who understands evolution disbelieves evolution for scientific reasons. Ergo the creationist movement is inherently religious which would explain why you don't see it much outside the religious bubble you were born within.

The evidence for it is overwhelming. We can watch it happen with bacteria. We can make it happen with food and fruit flies. We have fossil records of it happening with pretty much every species.

The only way you disbelieve it is you are taught a strawman version of it that Jesus can easily knock over.

Yeah basically there was a comparison in some book that we have ton more evidence for evolution than we have for the Holocaust. So if denying Holocaust is ridiculous, how damn dumb is it to deny the evolution theory?
