Science is observable, testable, and repeatable.
On the other hand, your evolution mythology is none of the above. yuk yuk.
By the way, America was founded by Bible-believing Christians called Puritans who accepted the Bible and who rejected your evolution mythology. So if you don't like Bible-believing Christians, then logically you should get the heck out of America right now, and take all of your darwinist ilk with you

If he actually believes a version of history that's so obviously false, then it's probably pointless arguing anything else with him.
Oh and while I'm at it, the same is true of Mormons. No, the 'Native Americans' are most definitely not, in point of fact, lost Hebrew tribes.
I see you favour blatant history revision and the "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" approach to learning about evolution when it's pointed out that it does, in fact, meet all the criteria you listed in your first line. Imbecile.
Well, I'd point out that the Bible isn't observable, testable or repeatable either, but you wouldn't hear me with your hands over your ears.
By the way, the Puritans wouldn't have accepted you as a member of their congregation, so maybe you should leave too.
-- Right, although that word "repeatable" means that the analysis of the existing evidence is repeatable by any other competent scientist with the proper equipment.
You're not batting well tonight, Navaros, I'm-a gonna bench you for a few games. We can't carry any dead weight here.
The Puritans had lost most of their power by the time of the Revolution, and even then they only really had it in a single colony. The Southern colonies had a culture that was very different from that of Massachusetts, as did Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, which were founded as places of religious tolerance. Thus the saying "out of many, one".
Pennsylvania was founded by Quakers, Massachusettes and Conneticut by Purtians, Rhode Island by Purtian exiles, abd Maryland by English Catholics. All of these groups faced religious persecution back in their homelands and created those colonies to escape it. With that kind of history, people of all religions (including lack of religion) should be welcome here.
The PC and internet you are using were developed by bible-ignoring atheists who accepted evolution fact and rejected your creationist bullshit. So if you don't like Bible-ignoring atheists, then logically you should get the heck off the internet right now, and take all of your cultist ilk with you.
"America was founded by Bible-believing Christians called Puritans who accepted the Bible and who rejected your evolution mythology."
Navaros: "Bill Gates invented the Internet! And America would have won in Vietnam if MLK hadn't had a dream!!"
We have testable and repeatable evidence of fruit fly evolution. Through continued study of genetics and paleontology we've seen evidence of evolution in several species and genera throughout the history of life in their mutations and speciation over time. We've yet to see testable, observable and repeatable evidence for a god poofing a universe into existence.

Even if this was true and the founders of the USA were Puritanical Christians who disagreed with a theory that wasn't yet known, why should anyone give a shit? They're not idols or messiahs, I have serious misgivings about those who do idolise historical figures, and their beliefs should have little to do with the decisions made by a country later on in a different contextual situation.
The Puritans were not the builders of the free and democratic society, in fact their manic bullshit was one of the first things the laws had to deal with.
Left in the hands of Puritans you would have ended up a Theocracy under Royal rule.
By the way, the Puritans rejected common sense for hoodoo and suffered for their primitive beliefs while others prospered around them. Eventually the system was forced to deal with their destructive backwards beliefs for the good of their communities.
In all likelihood, Navaros thinks the Puritans and the Founding Fathers were the same thing. It's a mistake fundies make very often, probably because imagining the most important figures in American history as repressive theocrats just like them makes them feel important.
Evolution is both observable, testable and repeatable. The fact that we need new flu vaccines regularly is evidence of evolution. As evolution happens with generations, it is constantly repeated with every generation.
America was founded by people who had seen what havoc religion had wrecked back in the Old Country, and made a conscious effort to keep religion OUT of the government. Most were deists, some were even atheists.
You imbecile! The US of A was founded in 1776-1791, evolution was made a theory in 1859. There was no evolution science to reject when America was founded.
A bit of a Goodwin, but... Nazi-aiding people lead the company Siemens during WWII. I still like my nice stainless steel kitchen appliances from Siemens.
@John
The idealized story we were told in school was mostly a myth, it involved the LAST people you'd want to invoke as an example of "religious freedom" and the whole thing preceded mass-genocide.
No sir! I don't want guilt and shame with my turkey, stuffing, holiday cheer, dancing Rockettes and giant inflatable cartoon characters!
The whole "Pilgrim" story needs to be ignored! Thanksgiving wasn't strictly about them, anyway!
Just regard it as a "Harvest Festival" where folks "Count Their Blessings". Why does every holiday have to commemorate one specific event? The "Pilgrim" thing is just one tale out of many!
Thanksgiving is not about Puritans/Pilgrims. It's a simply a harvest festival about giving thanks.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
