This is a thread for me to document massive amounts of evidence for evolution and the age of the earth, both indisputable facts.
The age of the earth is 4.5 billion years.
The universe is 13.82 billion years old.
Evolution is simply: A change in heritabletraits of biological populations over successive generations.[1] Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including the level of species, individual organisms, and at the level of molecular evolution.[2]
Now, onto the evidence:
The earth is not 6000-10,000 years old, for any nutjobs who actually believe that, educate yourself:
How we know the age:
- Radiometric dating
- The distant starlight and how long light takes to reach us
- Amino acid racemization
- Continental drift
- Geomagnetic reversals
- Human chromosomal ancestry
- Ice Layers
- Lack of DNA in fossils
- Perma frost
- Seabed plankton layering
- Stalactites
- Uranium lead dating
- Weathering rinds
- A million other things.
Now, on to the big one... Evolution.
- Remains of ancient organisms
- Fossil layers
- Similarities among living organisms
- Similarities of embryos
- Transitional fossils
- DNA similarities
- Universal common descent
Much more to add, but none the less, I'm in the mood to debate those who deny facts.. Bring it on.

Now, onto the controversial one, human evolution.
