Evolution is a religion

To make things easier to read:Italicised words: quoting my opponentUnderlined words: directly quoting from a named sourceDropped ArgumentsMy opponent has dropped the following arguments:(1) Evolution and religion are not incompatible(2) Genetics provides support for biological evolution "Actually mate if you read the title of the debate it is Evolution is a religion not (biological evolution) and if biological evolution doesn't discuss the origin of life what does biological evolution discuss?"Biological evolution discusses the development of life. How life developed and changed over time. Evolution Berkley notes:"Evolutionary theory deals mainly with how life changed after its origin. Science does try to investigate how life started (e.g., whether or not it happened near a deep-sea vent, which organic molecules came first, etc.), but these considerations are not the central focus of evolutionary theory. Regardless of how life started, afterwards it branched and diversified, and most studies of evolution are focused on those processes." [1] Evolution has different types, you can't say micro evolution is the same as stellar evolution I'm just breaking it down.The resolution to this debate is "Evolution is a religion." When people talk about evolution, they are generally referring to biological evolution. You are expecting me to take six different theories and independent branches of science and defend them. That is Gish galloping. In an 8,000 character text debate, it is very difficult to even give an adaquet "Yes it does macro evolution teaches that one animal can turn into another animal you learn this in school and and it's on educational websites."Please show me one source that states that evolution means animals can turn into another animal. This is a straw man understanding of evolution and it is time to set fire to the said straw man. "When you find a fossils in the dirt you can't prove it had any children let alone any children different to it's kind eg dogs produce dogs and cats produce cats ect there are no exceptions you're calling my language equivocate you're being that right now."I have literally no idea what you mean. What does not being able to prove that fossils had children or not have to do with my contention? I did so in the second round and then you digress but I will repeat myself.Religion-A philosophy on how the universe came into existence, without any evidence.Since evolution is a philosophy on how the universe came into existence and it doesn't have any evidence it's technically a religion.I believe that I have already shown sufficient evidence for biological evolution (by means of fossils and genetics, which you dropped)."I urge you to who vote for who you want to but I'd advise you to vote for the person who actually knows the topic of the debate and what biological and macro evolution really is about."Which is me, as I am a biology major with a 4.0 GPA. I am quite disappointed that my opponent wishes to gish gallop and make me defend 6 different theories that are independent of each other. It is impossible to do so in an 8K character debate.I urge a vote for con! Sources1. http://www.evolution.berkeley.edu...;
