Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Firstly, there aren't any against (nonsensical arguments that don't hold up against the slightest scrutiny don't count). If there was evidence that didn't fit the Theory of Evolution, the theory would be modified to fit the evidence. That's how science works. We take what we know and formulate theories based on the body of evidence.

Secondly, the first link in my source contains 29+ evidences that support the Theory. They are broad, though; it would take many lifetimes to list all of the evidence. The Theory of Evolution is one of the most strongly-evidenced theories in all of science. To those aware of this, an anti-evolution argument is a notion to be taken with as large a grain of salt as an anti-gravity argument.

Thirdly, Darwin does deserve credit for being the 'father' of the Theory, but don't focus too much on him. With all the evidence that has been gathered and all of the fine-tuning that has been done over the decades and decades since his time, Darwin would hardly recognize the theory today. Unfortunately, those who wish evolution to not be true attempt to discredit it by calling it "Darwinism" in an attempt to liken it to a competing religion (in that it's static/unchanging, and based on the authority of a central figure), which it clearly isn't. The opposite is done too: creationists attempt to liken their faith to science by trying to make creationism sound 'sciencey' with creative renaming, hence the "Intelligent Design" rebranding. I bring this up because it's rhetorical game-playing like this that is at the core of the vast majority of anti-evolution arguments, rather than actual evidence.
