Are you sure you should be playing on the internet?

This is a forum for adults.

I notice you have no evidence to present since there is none, hence the childish replies.

You are being facetious, because you know for a fact that tons of posts providing evidence to support evolution have been presented on these threads.

If I provide links, you'll just ignore them. Have you ever read even one of Ichneumon's posts? Try this.

If you were honest about the fact that you have never been exposed to the evidence, I would treat you with respect you deserve. Since you are not, I treat you with the respect you deserve.

Oh, and in future you might want to keep your posts clear of ad hominems if you want to complain to the mods. Otherwise, it will look like you can dish it out, but you can't take it. Now that's childish.

No need to check a link: here is my take on one of his many posts:



 
 

 
 



Mammal-Like Reptiles

As previously stated, a succession of transitional fossils exists that link reptiles (Class Reptilia) and mammals (Class Mammalia). These particular reptiles are classifie as Subclass Synapsida. Presently, this is the best example of th e transformation of one major higher taxon into another. The morphologic changes that took place are well documented by fossils, beginning with animals essentially 100% reptilian and resulting in animals essentially 100% mammalian. Therefore, I have chosen this as the example to summarize in more detail (Table 1, Fig. 1).  

    
 
 
 
M. Eyes =           ?       
   Nose =           ?    
   Teeth incisors = ?
 
 
 
K. Eyes =           ?       
   Nose =           pointy
   Teeth incisors = small
 
 
 
J. Eyes =           Medium
   Nose =           stubby    
   Teeth incisors = BIG
 
 
 
I. Eyes =           Medium
   Nose =           less stubby
   Teeth incisors = big
 
 
 
H. Eyes =           smaller
   Nose =           more blunt
   Teeth incisors = smaller
 
 
 
 
G. Eyes =           SMALL
   Nose =           Pointer
   Teeth incisors = Skinny
 
 
 
 
 
F. Eyes =           BIG
   Nose =           Blunt
   Teeth incisors = Thin
 
 
 
 
E. Eyes =           HUGE!
   Nose =           pointy, again
   Teeth incisors = Bigger
 
 
 
 
D. Eyes =           Smaller
   Nose =           Getting wider
   Teeth incisors = Bigger: two!
 
 
 
 
C. Eyes =           Huge, again!
   Nose =           broader
   Teeth incisors = very small
 
 
 
 
B. Eyes =           less huge
   Nose =           less broad
   Teeth incisors = ??
 
 
 
 
A. Eyes =           bigger again
   Nose =           rounded
   Teeth incisors = small

Abbreviations: ag = angular; ar = articular; cp = coronoid process; d = dentary; f = lateral temporal fenestra; j = jugal; mm = attachment site for mammalian jaw muscles; o = eye socket; po = post orbital; q = quadrate; rl = reflected lamina; sq = squamosal; ty = tympanic. .
 
 
 


 
Are you convinced yet?
 
Oscillating eye sizes,
head shapes that shift back and forth,
teeth that are large, then small, then large again.
 
Yeah; I believe this stuff!
