Last night I recalled a video link in my Research Library to one of Joey's CNN brothers, Brian Stelter, interviewing the founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, who tore into Stelter for labeling him a "denier." Watch:

Weather Channel Founder destroys CNN's Brian Stelter on Global Warming

LOL! I cannot help but notice the irony of the Left claiming any change in the weather is proof of "climate change," since that is exactly the way Joey defines evolution, which is, "any change is proof of evolution." See for yourself:

[Joey] "Evolution by definition is any change, period."
[Joey] "By definition, evolution is change, period"
[Joey] "Complexification, devolution, or something as simple as a moth changing colors -- sideways evolution. It's all evolution/adaptation"

LOL! That is nuts! It is also meaningless. But that is the kind of pseudo-science many on the Left are teaching our children, when they are not teaching them revised history and the imagined glory of Marxism.

Evolutionary Biologist Jerry Coyne defines evolutionism in the more traditional manner:

"In essence, the modern theory of evolution is easy to grasp. It can be summarized in a single (albeit slightly long) sentence: Life on Earth evolved gradually beginning with one primitive species—perhaps a self-replicating molecule—that lived more than 3,5 billion years ago; it then branched out over time, throwing off many new and diverse species; and the mechanism for most (but not all) of evolutionary change is natural selection." [Jerry A. Coyne, "Why Evolution is True." Oxford University Press, 2009, p.3]

There is no evidence in support of that claim; but that is what Coyne believes, and that is what Darwin's theory teaches.

Kalamata post #454: "Last night I recalled a video link in my Research Library to one of Joey's CNN brothers, Brian Stelter, interviewing the founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, who tore into Stelter for labeling him a "denier."
Watch:"

You link doesn't work, but I'll take your word for it that Coleman objected to being called a climate "denier".
Just so we're clear on this: Denial is a debate strategy, a set of tactics practiced by those who have no stronger arguments to make.
It consists in part of Denier Rules, version 3.0 which I saw practiced by Holocaust deniers nearly 20 years ago and now by Kalamata in denying evolution.

I've never seen Denier Rules used by those opposed to the Left's Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) socialist agenda, and for the obvious reason that such despicable tactics are never necessary.
Indeed, arguably, it's the Left which uses Denier Rules to advance their AGW agenda, and skeptical science which responds with valid data and confirmed reasoning.

In short, "Denial" is how you argue, not what specific subject you debate over.

Kalamata: "LOL!

See for yourself: [Joey] "Evolution by definition is any change, period." "

So let's stick with your "climate change" analogy -- nobody denies that climates change naturally, always have always will.
By every measure over time climates naturally grew warmer & cooler, wetter & dryer, stormier & calmer, since long before humans had anything to do with it.
But now suddenly, they tell us, every change in temperature, precipitation or storms is all somehow "anthropogenic" and therefore requiring of unlimited trillions of taxpayer dollars to "correct".

And yet scientific evidence supporting AGW alarmists is surprisingly weak and so no Denial Tactics are ever called for to refute them.
Point is: just as there have been natural climate changes, from minor to major, so there have also been natural evolutionary changes from minor to major.

Kalamata: "Evolutionary Biologist Jerry Coyne defines evolutionism in the more traditional manner:

Kalamata: "There is no evidence in support of that claim; but that is what Coyne believes, and that is what Darwin's theory teaches."

There are literal mountains of evidence and, yes, Coyne states the long-term theory.
But evolution facts begin with every new generation: descent with modifications (i.e., mutations) as acted on by natural selection.
It's all evolution, regardless of how much Kalamata loathes, despises, mocks, ridicules and lies about it.
