Proof of what? Proof that scientists take observable phenomena and try to come up with the best possible explanation for these observed facts? Proof that these explanations are subject to peer review?Then why can't anyone provide that proof, other than to just keep repeating what you just said?The theory of evolution is a theory so well supported by the weight of evidence that some have come to call it settled fact and not theory.
This is a dishonest discussion, and a very sad one. A perfect storm of science, politics and religion. Religion doesn't like being painted as nothing but fairy tales. Too bad. Then, after failing to silence the voice of science, religion tries to pretend that they are science too!
Scientists don't like this. They are human beings. Somewhat arrogant within their field of knowledge and very much aware that they are in a political battle with the forces of science denial. They have nothing but contempt for anyone who supports the pseudo-scientific concept of creationism. They rightly consider this so-called debate to be beneath them and a waste of their time.
All you have to do to prevail is beat the scientists at their own game. So far, creationism and intelligent design have earned nothing but contempt from the scientific community. What in the world do you think you are going to accomplish with this so-called debate amongst lay persons? You don't accept the scientific analysis of the fossil record. You think the vast consensus amongst scientists is not genuine science, but instead a sinister plot against religion. That is not a valid basis for a debate.
