Agree The fossil record does not support the theory of evolution and is one of the flaws in the theory of evolution. ...today there are over one hundred million identified and cataloged fossils in the world's museums.

Another term for these "transitional forms" is "missing links". Edit Pitches 10 Mar 2010    Source Agree The fossil record does not support the theory of evolution and is one of the flaws in the theory of evolution. Edit Pitches 21 Dec 2011    Source

Disagree The holocaust denial view point has no support amongst any significant number of scholars. ... As denial of the holocaust is nonfactual, another common strategy of history revisionism is to use relativism by comparing it to other genocides, the death toll of Germans in WWII, persecution of homosexuals in Nazi Germany, or the number of abortions. Edit Pitches 30 Jun 2010    Source Abortion Should abortion be legal? Disagree Abortion always ends the life of the unborn child, typically by dismemberment.
