Woah, woah...you mean that scientists admit that they were wrong and change their theories when conflicting evidence is found? The horror.

Change "evolution" to "creation", and you're correct.

"Evolution scientists observe remains and tries to put a theory on what they find. The theory changes over time as contradictory evidence is found."
Um... duh? That's how science works.

But that's just my opinion.
That is quite obvious, what is not obvious is why you try to deny facts?

"I think it's all guess work "substantiated" by unprovable/anecdotal/circumstantial fossil records. "
Your religion is all guesswork "substantiated" by anecdotes. Science has moon landings.
"And we have a long history of jumping to the wrong conclusions based on this kind of evidence."
Yes we see that all the time.
"But that's just my opinion. "
Which you've shown is not worth much.

Creationism predicts nothing. Creation "scientists" observe 4000-year-old stories and try to find facts to fit their conclusions. The conclusions never change over time, despite any contradictory evidence being found. It is creationism which slaves people to its nonsense, not reality which refutes what they believe. I think it's all blind faith "substantiated" by unprovable/anecdotal/circumstantial "miracles." And they have a long history of making wild leaps of "logic" based on this kind of evidence. But that's just my opinion.
Fixed.

Do you mean to tell me that those ScIeNtists actually have the nerve to start with observation and then fit theory to it, instead of starting with dogma and then cherry-picking, shoehorning, or just making up observations to fit? That when the evidence proves them wrong, they admit it? Say it isn't so!
P.S. As another Dave, I hereby revoke your Dave privileges.

"Evolution predicts nothing."
So, you've never actually studied evolution, have you?

Evolution can help predict how a species may adapt and survive when the environment it relies on to survive changes.
Creationism? Nada.

If you were to invest just a little time in actual research on the subject, your opinion would be worth more than exactly nothing. As it stands,....

IN A BEGINNING Created by the Elohim were the heavens and the earth.
Yet if you show a Christian the above, they'll go into a tizzy. That's a literal/exact translation from the Hebrew versions of the Torah (first 5 books of the OT). Elohim is plural and no, it does not mean the Trinity. And if it did mean the Trinity, then it is still plural, meaning different entities.
So which god created the earth then? What say you now, evidence?

Don't be silly, you know the OT has nothing to do with Christianity, except when they want to bash homos and pretend that they actually have a grasp of a book that isn't theirs when it comes to "origins."

Fail.
Evolution, or genetics to be accurate, predicts many things. For instance, one can predict that breeding plants or animals for a particular trait can achieve the predicted results. Heck! Sheep, cows, goats, dogs, cats, grapes, corn, wheat, apples, and countless other organisms, are the results of selective breeding to achieve a PREDICTED end product.
Then, of course, there are countless instances of fossils which have confirmed predictions about "missing links". Consider all the intermediate fossils that have been found since the publication of The Origin of Species. Fossils which Darwin predicted.

Unfortunately it isn't a very educated opinion. I recommend you to read up on the subject to see why the theory explains the data.
