The atheist and his incredible imagination

Linkity.

Article synopsis: The author uses the web site "The future is wild" a site that speculates on the direction of evolution in the future, to set up the argument "Speculation is all scientists do when describing past events related to evolution."

This article is probably the most vapid in the "Pull the plug on atheism" series so far. It asserts that because some people speculate about the future, that is exactly what people do for the past. The author does not offer any evidence to validate his position he just states it as fact then ends the article. Which is ironically delicious in my opinion.

Of course the amount of validity, in this case the amount of evidence, you submit your claim with is equal to the amount of validity with which it must be dismissed. So if you assert something as true but offer no evidence to support your position, it can be dismissed with an equal amount of evidence. Just for fun though, I thought I'd leave a link to a fraction of the evidence those crazy speculating scientists have to offer to support their. . .um. . . speculations.

Observed instances of speciation.
