I am quite surprised that it is actually under debate. If any non believers have any questions, they can ask me, or meet me at the "WWE smashdown", ha ha ha. Praised be the Valar

"Well, maybe they don't exist according to science, Scully, but something that walks and talks like one, and, by the way, seems to be very hungry, is doing a really great impression. Maybe a loose thespian from the local actors guild with a severe gland disorder wearing an oversized shoe?"

Yes, counterevidence does make you discount a theory. And I'm sorry if I implied that it doesn't. But you try to adapt the theory, not just toss it out. Until a unified explanation comes along that is better. For examples: Ptolemy's epicycles that explained Mars' retrograde motion until Kepler/Copernicus replaced the theory of geocentric, circular orbits. Or, adaptations of Newtonian physics to try to cover the errors that were explained by Einstein. Although this is getting off-topic, because this doesn't apply to evolution until we see some direct counterevidence.

Listen, there's no direct evidence that atheistic evolution occured. It seems possible, although logically it's self-contradicting. How? It's simple. If you believe in atheistic evolution, you believe that there is no spiritual world, only a physical one. The laws of the physical world state that you cannot create something out of nothing. However, if this is so, how did anything start in the first place??? Therefore, it's self-contradicting. If you do believe in a spiritual world, then an eternal being is possible, because the spiritual world is not bound by the physical laws. Notice I haven't discounted Theistic evolution (evolution steered by a deity).

I believe you to be an agitator. What have yu got against evolution?If you knock it dont use it. in exemplia: tell it to your physician at your next rectal exam. You cant prove that god or anything inthe bible exists other than the bloody parts or the sining and the whoring, so by your own definition, why teach it? Evolution is the basis of all systematics in classification of living organisms. You cannot say 'woe' to evoltuion but then say 'hey that classification system is real handy, billy bob'. It doesnt work that way. GO on a fossil hunt someday and tell me those fossils were made 5000 and seven days. ANd take this argument back to the 18th century, Aristotle.

What have you got against creationism?? Or theistic evolution??
I did not say I had anything against evolution. What I have an issue with is atheistic evolution. And no, I don't necessarily believe in Young Earth Creationism. That's a stereotype. And yes, by my definition, you can exclude creationism from schools. But that would also mean that, to be fair, you would exclude evolution from schools. That sounds fair to me. BTW...what's wrong with Aristotle? (And he wasn't 18th century!)
