We assumed an age for the earliest humans, and so when we found early human bones, we knew they were the earliest because we had already assumed an age for them. Great.

There are no intermediate forms. How many times do we have to go through this? Its call the "paleontologists trade secret" for a reason.




This is so not true, and I'm quite sure you haven't met or spoke to any paleontologist nor do you seem to have much knowledge about paleontology at all.

You claim they make stuff up, well then, prove it! There is no circular reasoning involved like you claim, yes they make use of indirect evidence sometimes, but that's not circular reasoning at all.

And like pointed out before there definately are intermediate forms, but you don't seem to like it for some reason.

This is a tautology anyway. Darwin said, without any reproducable evidence, that animals evolved (it was based on observations, but he never actually saw an animal evolve). So therefore, he gave us a way to understand the evolution of species. That's like saying, "The sun is made from the laughter of children. So now I've explained how the sun is made out of the laughter of children." It begs the question of whether or not I was right in the first place.




You've misunderstood the observation-part here. He only witnissed natural selection, survival of the fittest and as a result of this he saw speciation around him. He didn't even had a full theory before he witnissed this. By the way, believing in your own theory when evidence shows you are at least on the right track, seems perfectly okey to me.
