Anyone who has studied statistics, probability and higher level mathematics, which I have, cannot take the theory of evolution seriously. Most liberals eschew those subjects and fall prey to things like globull warming and evolution. Nobody is saying the natural selection doesn't alter species over time, but that cannot explain the origins of species.
I am always suspicious of Free Republic posters that have their old democratic past in their name. Deep down there is an air of superiority in that " I was a democrat so I was cool once but now I am like you". That bothers me. If I was an ex dem I would hide that fact out of shame.
That's what I've been saying. Evolution/evoloserism is basically not compatible with modern mathematics, probability theory, information theory or anything like that at all.
In fact no real science theory would survive five years worth of the history of disproofs which is involved in the theory of evolution. Evolution survives on pure inertia and quasi-religious belief.
Really? I've studied statistics, and math up through college calculus. A strong math background was required in order to get an undergraduate degree in biochemistry and molecular biology, and was a prerequisite for applying to graduate school (PhD, same majors). Mathematical and statistical analysis is a requirement for publishing in any scientific journal. How anyone could think that mathematics and statistics are not applicable to the study of evolutionary biology--which encompasses most life sciences disciplines--is beyond me.
Feel free to enlighten me by providing links to the original research reports, and post the statistical analyses which demonstrate that the observations and analyses in the reports are mistaken.

Why? As a child, I had no choice about the fact that I was being raised in a family of far-left lunatics, and that I was thoroughly steeped in far-left attitudes and ideology. Being able to overcome that by critically thinking about and rejecting the attitudes of entitlement, victimhood, envy and resentment that are taught to poor liberals is a true accomplishment--most people raised that way remain steeped in those losing attitudes and usually never achieve anything. I never would have been able to go to college and eventually earn a PhD had I held on to those liberal beliefs. I'm proud of the fact that I overcame my background.
