Home run? He can predict anything he likes, but he's right there reading from the playbook of the inquisition. Galileo was right, the planets did move, and the earth did move.
Darwin's insight into the origin of species isn't going to disappear any more than Galileo's insight into the movement of the planets.
The evidence is simply overwhelming. The fossil record, the DNA record, the blindingly obvious similarity between apes and humans, mammals and other mammals, and even, if you delve deep enough, fish and mammals, is proof of common ancestry.
We see evolution going forward today. Naturally, as our lives are short and evolution takes time, we never get to see the whole story played out from beginning to end. Nobody lives to see the galaxy turn one whole spin, for that matter, but we don't have to have arguments about whether the galaxy does spin. Things that go slowly, go too slowly for us to watch the whole event. But there is evidence aplenty for those with minds that are open to the evidence.

Darwinists think they already possess the secret of turning bacteria into baboons. Certainly someone has discovered the secret of turning Democrats into baboons. Or is it the other way around?
Say, which IS the higher life form of the two, anyway?

Darwinists, like Marxists, tend to be blind to their own commitment to materialistic philosophy.Agreed. They see themselves as Gods. They assume, blindly, there is nothing else.
To: lostlakehiker
The fossil record, the DNA record,There is no link between human and their human like animal samples. There is no human DNA in anything they claim is human. Darwinism is simply another theory that has yet to be proven.
If man evolved via apes, how did their cerebrialspinal system, in one instant quantum leap, go from that of a monkey to that of a bear?
To: balch3
Darwinists are also looking in the wrong place, expecting to explain large-scale evolution by DNA mutations and natural selection, when abundant evidence already indicates that those processes cannot do the job. When biologists eventually unravel the true organizing principles of life, they will quickly put Darwinism behind them. >
Abundant evidence already indicates that those proceses cannot do the job. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIght.
Horsepucky.

But his answer was “The Marxist theory of history.”Marx held high respect to chemistry because he thought the society had to be studied the way people studied molecular chemistry. His doctoral dissertation was on philosophy of nature, especially atom. He argued that Social Scientists need to learn how the mechanism in the society work, the way Chemists learn how sugar dissolves in water and makes water sweet: by observing how the molecules of water react to the molecules of sugar.
Since Marx believed he already had analyzed the society the way molecular chemist did with sugar and water, he also believed that his Social Science is the objective science (of human).
Like usual, his followers shared his optimism.

That is pretty much it in a nutshell, although the Darwinist wont admit it
Darwinists think they are above philosophy and theology.
Touche!!
Darwinists, like Marxists, tend to be blind to their own commitment to materialistic philosophy. In this regard, Darwinists are more like Marxists than alchemists.
I like this Guy.

I say the closer you get to it to take a look, the more it breaks down, unless you are firmly wedded to the concept going in.
I don't know if you are a Darwinist, but that is one characteristic that is a hallmark of the Darwinists.

Traditionally, one of the principle opposition groups to announced findings in science, whether it be the rotation of planets, or the occurrence of meteorites, has been the religiously devout.
It is curious now to see the accusation made against "Darwinists" that they have adopted a new religion.
In truth, the truly scientific analytical mind does not care whether discoveries might prove the existence of a Creator, or the undeniability of happenstance. Scientific research yields what it yields.
Galileo determined through logic, analytical thinking, and experiment that the Earth rotates. Though he was forced to deny these discoveries, they still remained true.
Similarly, Darwin postulated that there was a mechanism which permitted gradual changes leading to a point where a single species branched into more diverse forms. This seems obvious enough, once it is pointed out, but he also backed up his thinking with careful observation and analysis, just as Galileo had done.
Darwin called this "The Origin of Species", not the Origin of Life.
I do not expect to see this argument end, ever. Not because the evidence is not available to prove it one way or the other, but because far too many will simply refuse to look at the evidence.
"There are none so blind as those who will not see" and you know who you are.

More twaddle. You just scrunch your eyes closed, put your fingers in your ears, and yell "la la la la" whenever anyone points you towards the evidence. Self imposed ignorance. ..Sad..

What a bunch of rehashed twaddle.A never ending search for exactly the right combination of just the right perjoratives that will turn twaddle into reason.

Captain Obvious says that you guys like words like 'twaddle' a lot.
Anyhow, lets take your evidence here one piece at a time and look at its origins /history. Oh thats right, the evo never wants to get close to it, then its not a mountain of it anymore
