Leebo,
Can you please explain to me how evolution is a "enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe?" Last time I checked, evolution is a process that is so slow that it is not testable or observable. And please don't throw Darwin's finches or the domestication of the wolf as examples as those are simply changes within a given species which I believe do happen and are observable. However, in order for evolution to work you must have changes between species. What I mean by this is that sure, we have seen the wolf being bred down to the Chihuahua but at the end of the day both are still dogs ( Canis lupus familiaris). We have never seen however, a dog change into a cat or vice versa. Nor have we seen a fish turn into a frog. we claim to have found "the missing link" but in order for Darwinian evolution to happen we have to have literally 100s of thousand of "missing links" between each species. No where have we found these missing links in the fossil record. I, as a skeptic just have serious doubts about the theory of evolution.
