True, that theory of evolution can be tested, but how? Looking at old rocks and using a variety of flawed Radiometric Dating methods? Sure, adaptation can be observed, mutations have been seen by many people and documented; but true Darwinian Theory cannot be observed because no one could possibly live that long (not to mention travel back in time).

Omnipotence: Having unlimited or universal power, authority, or force; all-powerful.
Now that we've got a definition, mind explain these "flaws" you mentioned? I'm curious.

Same could be said for good and evil from a Chrisitan perspective, it all depends on how you look at it.

Well, I'd obviously like to have a better understanding of where you're coming from, so I'll debate you and hopefully learn something.
