When evolutionists can’t answer a question on evolution they just say it’s evolution; or aliens.

The authors argue.. Our research suggests.. This seems to be.. The patterns seen in snakes hint at..

Yep, consensus science in all its glory. "We think we know what's going on. Trust us. What could possibly go wrong?"

The scientists probably found that answer just by looking up Joe Biden on Ancestry.com.

No, what they're doing is working from evidence. Since you don't like science, the only reason you're here is to troll.

Their results show that all living snakes trace back to just a handful of species that survived the asteroid impact 66 million years ago, the same extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs.


Patently false - the many species of dinosaurs lived for millions of years after the strike (which may have been one of three) and died out from other causes.

Chapter 3 of Genesis, when the serpent deceived Eve, and registered as a democrat. Which is why democrats can never re-enter the garden.

DISCLAIMER: not to be taken as sound doctrine (just a hunch ;>)

Please don’t insult snakes. They serve a beneficial purpose, unlike RATs.

You’re not used to or don’t believe in science. That’s the correct way scientists talk. There is no such thing as settled science or proof in science.

Tell that to the left- they make the claim all the time-

what i am used to is them and their ilk claiming the discussions are closed because the science is settled-
