Like evolution, physics is full of contradictions and conundrums, and all
the details are a long way from being worked out.  So why don't we teach an
"alternative theory" in physics classes?  After all, doesn't "Magic" offer a
better and more complete explanation of things we don't understand?  Maybe
we should teach "Alchemy" as an "alternative theory" to inorganic chemistry,
too?  Astrology instead of Astronomy?  Demonic Possession instead of
Abnormal Psychology?

I would never have an issue with you because you at least talk commong logical
sense so far. Religious believers in general have no such ability.

PS -- Evolutionism has no "holes" in it. Evolution is a proven fact. But
Christians don't understand evolution and Christians always choose to attack
things they don't understand, things like entropy or quantum physics.

Amazing! A statement of reason immediately followed by
contradiction.

Since I never claimed otherwise, it would be impossible for me to contradict
myself.

The standards of science are high. Science requires a
predictability of events and a replicable demonstration. 

Evolution meets both criteria. Of course, you probably have no idea what science
is and are just parroting something you heard about it but never understood. So
let me explain:

Evolution has successfully predicted in advance the number of harmful mutations
in a species by comparing it to another species DNA and population size.

People ignorant of science believe that "replicable demonstration" means
"physically reproducible". By that nonsense "logic", gravity doesn't exist since
it is physically reproducible or the Sun doesn't exist since it cannot be
reproduced in a lab. Of course, they are wrong. "Replicable demonstration" means
the ability to repeatable observations or physically reproducible. Fossils are
repeatable observations of evolution have occured and DNA evidence is physically
reproducible in a lab. Intelligent design, on the other hand, is neither
repeatable nor reproducible.

Now, show us, prove to us, the evolution of man.

For that, you will have to go and look at the fossils for yourself. They are all
there -- not a single one is missing. Or try comparing the DNA of chimpanzees to
human and see how they differ only by two percent -- including the same
psuedogenes and other plagiarized errors.
