HBond,
I have to agree with Kayra and the others.
You have been sorely misinformed. Where do you get your information?
Not supported by direct solid proof???
The evidence that Darwin had back in the 1840's and 50's was but a tiny fraction of what we have today. He had geological strata from a few dozen sites. There were hundreds of large fossils. There were the first glimmerings of how creatures interreacted in complex ecological "systems". And there was only a vague idea of heritance, gained from dog breeders, horse breeders and pigeon fanciers.
And yet, his evidence was deemed overwhelming and convincing to the vast majority of educated Europeans by the time of his death. The debate was won on the evidence.
Since then, we have discovered Mendelian genetics--tremendous evidence supporting evolution. We have discovered DNA--even vaster evidence for evolution, giving us the detailed mechanism for natural selection. We now know basically ALL the geological strata of the planet and ALL its ecosystems. We now have tens of millions of fossils, including fossils of bacteria and soft-bodied creatures Darwin never dreamed of. Our knowledge of chemistry is vastly superior and its application to evolution even more so.
Who would tell you otherwise? Who would hide this information from you? Who would lie to you about the massive evidence that proves evolution in every detail? What miscreants would commit such a crime against your intellect?
Creationists, perhaps?
