Designed to deceive: Creation can't hold up to rigors of science

Evo nutbags? Useful idiots? I always enjoy it when the namecalling starts. Doesn't add a thing to the argument, but apparently that's not the point.

It is amusing, though.

Same here. Goodnight.

[Eagles6]

I did not know what you were talking about. It was a question.

[VadeRetro]

They were the answers to your question. You only get to demand one broomstick one time. You are expected to remember what the question was.

[WestwardHo]

Was remembering the 1979 Smithsonian exhibit with Julia Childes discussing premordial soup.
Just tip that cocoon a bit while the butterfly develops and see what you get. Eyesight to see these things is a wonderful thing. You put it all together in a masterful, logical article. Thank you!

This is cyberland. You can be anybody you want to.

And you are only judged by the qualty of your posts.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Especially if you forget to do a spell check.

From your circumpect allusions it seems that you believe that the story of the Biblical flood and Noah is a fraud rather than a story or a legend and thus mak es the whole of the Bible suspect. As the Bible is the foundation of Christianity and Judaism and cannot be trusted, the whole of Western civilization now crumbles.

That being said, you are obviously free to believe in the Bible or not, literal reading or not.

I do believe your insults were uncalled for and propose that we now end our discussion.

Ah, an expert in wallowing in bovine fecies.. welcome. You here to help them guilt corn into growing green beans too..

[Havoc]

Well there's the theory then there's reality (assuming evolution is undirected, exists and does as it pleases) Amazing the limitations you can put on something nobody's ever witnessed.

[Havoc]

Yes, evo theorists are largely nutbags, I agree. "For experts there is no hole deep enough..." - The Russia House

[Havoc]

Nah, just illustrating the absurd with absurdity. Usually the best way it seems. Effective too. And fun.

[King Prout]

the absurdity you illustrate is your own, the ignorance you illustrate is your own.

you bring up the product of seeds as evidence bolstering your absurdity, completely missing the point that the seed is already fixed in genotype. the telling point is not that seeds produce the expected plant, but that sometimes the adult parent plant produces seeds which are *different*

[Havoc]

I gave you my specific objection - all of it is absurd. Not part of it, a little of it, etc. It's all absurd. From the pompous nature of being an expert on something never witnessed, never seen, never happening in human history. You guys are so desperate that I even saw someone try to renounce the concept of macroevolution as a misnomer in the last few days. I bout fell out of my chair laughing.

[Havoc]

LOL. If they don't like the intrusion of common sense, they redefine it. If they don't like the intrusion of reality, they redefine it. If something makes their theory and by extension - them - look like moronic babblings of an insane psychopath, they cut it loose - thus the attempt to hack macroevolution free. They've actually gone to the extreme of trying to push microevolution as a long term mechanism that sidesteps macro altogether.. bwahahahahahahahahahaha

[Havoc]

The polls do not show a 50/50 split. Sorry. It showed, if memory serves, about half of America rejected it outright, while less than half believed something about the theory (eg micro 0r variation which is not exclusive to or specific of evolution).. in which case the numbers rejecting would be larger..

Really. No wishful thinking needed and it's getting worse for you as your number one fears travel the country opening eyes everywhere they go and saying the same things most americans actually believe - that evolution isn't much more than absurd quackery.

The great fears of the universe and the modern desecrators of liberal "truth" Ken Ham and Kent Hovind will be the end of Science as liberals know it. Come on and shriek for us to finish the picture .. bwahahahaha

[andysandmikesmom]

I simply dont believe what you say...perhaps we have read different polls...so we disagree, nothing new...

I still maintain, you are certainly engaging in nothing but wishful thinking...only time will show which one of us is wrong and who is right...I am not at all worried...

[Californiajones]

Until Evolutionists can create something out of nothing, they can talk all they want.

And didn't Darwin himself convert to Christianity before he died?
