Please do not post them as 'evidence'.
Except when they provide actual FACTS to back up their arguments and even provide citations.
If I post an opinion piece and state that evolution is a fact, and has been observed in real time in the populations of a variety of different organism, does the fact that its an op-ed make that any less of a fact? Especially if I give citations to numerous biological studies? Your premise does not support your conclusion and numerous counter-examples exist to prove it baseless.
