How many fossils would it take to "prove" the theory of evolution beyond a reasonable doubt?

If you believe in Noah and his magical boat you have denied all of the sciences. And pointless questions are an example of running away. As you just did there.
You are the one invoking magic.
That does not sound very scientific.
Who decides if a question is pointless?
I am sincere in every question I ask... for the most part.
What pointless question have I asked?

**mod edit** You have repeatedly demonstrated that you do not understand the sciences at all. You do not understand history at all. You do not even understand your own Bible. And most of all you do not understand how to debate properly I will make the rules.

I know that you do not like that, but all that you have to do is to change your ways and have a proper discussion. You will have noticed that most are simply ignoring you for right now because they can see that having a proper discussion with you would be like pulling teeth.

So are you done running yet? Are you ready to go over the basics of science?

If you meant that seriously it would be a lie on your part. And since you have repeatedly demonstrated that you do not understand the sciences at all. You do not understand history at all. You do not even understand your own Bible. And most of all you do not understand how to debate properly I will make the rules.
You have provided no evidence of your opinions... please do and we can discuss.

And you are not moving the conversation forward, but keep insulting me and calling me a liar.

When have I run a step? I have literally been asking you for your evidence and you have steadfastly refused to present any. You are only making your position look weak and petty.

Sorry, try again. You are not following the rules.

Sorry... I don't have to follow your personal rules.
You do if you want to have answers. You do if you do not want to look ignorant and foolish.

There is no reason that you cannot learn. You are not mentally impaired in any way besides the fear that you have from a lifetime of indoctrination and empty threats.

I am asking you to present the evidence you said you would present... how is that making me look foolish?

Autism is a mental impairment.

Autism is a mental impairment.
There are different degrees of autism. And you do not appear to have a terribly powerful case of it. I am confident that you can still learn.

And you forgot your failure with Lucy again. This is why you need to learn the basics. Evidence does you no good if you will just dishonestly or ignorantly deny it.

On the spectrum. Are you qualified to diagnose mental disorders?

I asked a question and you call it a failure. Maybe fleshnout your attacks a bit more so they have some weight.

I can tell when I am dealing with an idiot. You do not qualify as one. Trust me, you can learn.

Yes, your questions are all failures because you cannot understand the answers currently. There is no point in giving you evidence when you will just demonstrate that you are either ignorant or a liar, and I do not think that you are a liar, by denying them. You forgot that scientific evidence puts the burden of proof upon the denier.

I will give you a freebie. Would you like to learn how even you can see that Answers in Genesis is not a valid source?

So you have no evidence either. Just opinion.
False, so the above only shows that you are all too willing to jump to judgmental conclusions minus any evidence whatsoever, which not only isn't a scientific trait, but neither is a Christian trait.

Did the rib have a manufacturing date or is that just your best guess as to the age?
Do you know what a nuclear reactor is? Are you even slightly aware that dating back that far involves nuclear measurements? And if such measurements are supposedly so far off, then how in the world can nuclear reactors work?

Historians and archeologists use a Bible all the time when working in that area of the world as a reliable historical text.
Categorically false. Maybe get a subscription to Biblical Archeological Review.

BTW, I was on a dig in Israel at the edge of the highlands just n.w. of Jerusalem, so I know the limitations of what we can surmise.

Fossils are just proof that something died. No other evidence supports evolution as a origin of life.
Fossils are also evidence that something LIVED. Fossils also provide evidence as to how the organism lived. Where it lived. It's bone structure. It's diet. What happened to it. And a lot more.

Fossils actually provide a tone of information about the organism under study.

All evidence from multiple different fields of science, collated by multiple independent groups of scientists across the world, collected over the last 160+ all point to evolution being a fact of life. No evidence discovered thus far has managed to falsify it. Evolution is the backbone of biology.

So you've got it exactly backwards.

So I don't have to claim anything nor support any claim I do make.

Thanks for that license. I will continue as long as needed. I usually get banned after a few days... so we will see how long we can continue.
Cool.
That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

You've provided no explanation as to what these things are, or how they back up your claim that, "The Bible is an accurate accounting of early events."
