Isn't it easier to prove us wrong with some proof for evolution?

"As far as the quote, why would we take it out if it's true, it's what they meant, thus taken completely IN context?"
Let's start with your inaccurate lead in for that quote.
"Some Evolutionists do acknowledge that the fossil record is a disaster for their theory so they just go on to more interesting ways to deny the truth:"
I didn't see anything in the AAAS benchmarks that claimed that the fossil record is "a disaster" for the theory of evolution. In fact, the quote (and what follows the quote) only talks about how to help students with their difficulty in understanding evolution. As the others have indicated, your very selective quote misrepresents both the position of the AAAS. The standards indicate accurately that the fossil record supports evolution. Your quote makes it seem that scientists and AAAS think otherwise. This clearly is not the case.
To assume that you accurately reflect the context of the quote is another stretch on your part. The standards here are talking about a hypothetical student asking a question. The question betrays a lack of understanding about the nature of the fossil record, that the record by now should be complete. You consistently betray the same misunderstanding. You rely on this misunderstanding to insist that there is no evidence for evolution in the fossil record. This simply is not true. When repeatedly asked for a creationist explanation for the fossil record, you change the subject or simply don't answer.
The evidence for evolution has bee provided - repeatedly.

We have provided evidence in the fossil record, genetics, comparative anatomy of related species, the timing of species in the fossil record, etc. You have ignored the evidence, changed the subject, or dropped the debate altogether. Most recently, you have used the excuse of someone posting under your name to shut down your playground and delete valid posts.
Interesting that you keep misrepresenting the work of the authors you quote.
It is not whining to expect you to use sources honestly. I keep calling you on it because you continue to misrepresent the authors. We can certainly engage in intelligent debate, but it is up to you to decide whether that is important to you.
