I've already stated the reasons why below. No Nobel prize needed.

Fossils and DNA strongly indicate?
Really? How do they 'strongly' indicate?
 
Do we have a museum somewhere where I can go and look at the actual
fossils of some other species along the time line as it grew hands,
arms, feet, the human eye, and emotions? Or do we just have a story book
that claims that is what happened?
 
Or are we going to produce some fossil of an ape and leap from 'it has
two arms, two legs, and can think, therefore we came from apes', or 'it
has X number of common genomes, so therefore we were all apes', because
that, again, is quite the leap.

Sounds very much like my stated reason for its acceptance...
Just like people deny it because it contradicts their beliefs, people
accept it because it fits best with theirs.

Darwin himself says that we did not evolve from apes...
 
 
Where are all these half human/half ape people anyway and why aren't
they at varying stages of their evolution? Did it happen over millions
of years and then suddenly the entire species synchronized its final
form all at once at the snap of evolution's magical fingers? Do we still
have an entire race of people running around with claws and tails?
Or are you going to be incredibly un-PC and tell me some race of people
on Earth is "still catching up?"

Currently, evolution is only explanation for living species ...

There are several hundred out there. Any of them are a matter of belief
and faith, including the 'scientific' ones. I am not arguing that it is
an explanation, I am arguing the premise and conclusion of Mr Fibble
Sausages that:
 
A) Evolution is fact && B) Evolution disproves the creation of the
first human being = C) The entire Old Testament is false.
 
It simply is not a philosophically sound argument. A is not proven true
and B is not proven true, and even if they were, they don't prove C.
 
Even just looking at A alone, when people say "Evolution" there are at
least a dozen different ideas that entails which scientists themselves
argue over, much less uneducated folks whom believe we come from
monkeys, which was another claim of Mr Fibble Sausages. Darwin himself
never claimed we came from monkeys.

There are several hundred out there. Any of them are a matter of belief
and faith, including the 'scientific' ones. You cannot speak of origin
religiously or scientifically and not have to rely on belief and faith.
It is not a scientifically provable thing. If you believe in the tiny
dense magic ball of mass, you still must simply accept and have faith
that it existed without known cause, that there was no time before that,
and that for some unknown reason it exploded, and that order was made
from chaos, that through some unknown magical means single celled
organisms suddenly became multicelled, and that entirely different
species sprang up over the ages, and that all the laws of physics and
science just happened to work out perfectly. Well...close anyway, I do
have a bad back and knees.
 
What people call and tout as "science" is itself a religion and they are
just as fanatic and emotional over it as people are over any religion.

This newsgroup is unmoderated. There are no penalties beyond a well
deserved place in a killfile. However, if everybody places you in their
killfiles, it essentially means boycott. People will ignore you if you
irritate them too much. I think the times of reporting somebody to
their ISP upon severe violations of newsgroup netiquette has gone the
way of dinosaurs.
 
Acting like an ass when you're "new people" (from your own admission)
does irritate some folks here, and will likely land you in killfiles.
That usually means you won't be able to get real help if you ever need
it. Of course, c.l.c++ is but one resource among so many on the 'net
that inability to get help from c.l.c++ should not really discourage any
ass out there...
 
When you come to a newsgroup it is customary to ask for the FAQ. Even
though you didn't ask, I'll suggest http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/ ,
perhaps it will be of some use to you.

Um, no, you did not.
 
If you are going to through a fit about someone's sig quote regarding
top posting, at least bother to learn what the phrase means.

The word you are looking for is "ass" Ian. "Ass". No one uses "Arse" except old British guys who use British slang even when they know its stupid. Must be a British thing...

It is just a "mine is bigger" thing? OK, if that's what it is, perhaps someone should explain that, basically, we just argue with and disrespect people on a regular basis. Welcome to our group!

If you weren't interested in an answer, why did you waste the time
posting the question? You got the same description of the

As you know, according to N3797, if I understand it correct,
»12'345« is an »decimal-literal«. However, on a single page in
the world-wide web in 2013 somebody wrote:
 
»digit separators are out«
 
WRT to a C++ meeting in Bristol at the beginning of 2013.
Does anybody know for sure whether digit separators made
it into the official C++ ISO/IEC specification?
 
(I have heard that they might be implemented in GCC 4.9,
but they do not seem to be available in some GCC 4.8.x.)

I think you mean a tree from the root
with at most 4 son-nodes.
 
Us an unsigned char string that
could be extended in the string length,
and 2 bits per level of tree from
the translated key 0 as the root node.
 
I wrote that long time ago in C.
