Maybe it's because science is not determined by quotes.

If you believe that creationism is valid science, prove creationism. To do that you have to do more than find flaws with evolution, you have to scientifically prove creationism.

Just curious. What are the data you use to support creationism?

The silence by you pro-evolutionary theory guys on here is defeaning.

Most scientific journals are available online - go ahead and read as many as you want. We'll wait.

Or do you need the help of some third grader to point the way?

Or, perhaps, you want don't to read them at all?

You act as if all scientists believe in evolution. Nothing could be further from the case.

Well, well, yours is just one of the many cute remarks posted by the pro-evolutionists on here. This is what it always comes down to when someone challenges evolutionary theory.

You pro-evolutionary theory guys on here are really quite insecure.

The attempt to have a non-cut down/non-cute remark debate concerning the validity of evolutionary theory has apparently ended on here. Ended by insecure pro-evolutionists.

See you all later.

Perhaps you could get your bottle of Prozac refilled. You really shouldn't be out in public when you're acting in this way, you know.

Ah, yes, common creationist tactic. Ignore all facts presented, accuse evolution supporters of not wanting to deal with facts (in this case, the fact that the quotes are often dishonestly taken out of context), run away like a coward.

Hey, don't run away from the question: What are the data you use to support creationism?

Like I said...Let the cut downs begin!, by those who are pro-evolutionists. When someone even wants to debate the validity of evolution you guys start the cute remarks and cut downs.

Your insecurity on the validity of evolutionary thought is definitely showing.

Creationists could greatly reduce the number of such attacks if they would stop attempting to discredit evolution through dishonest techniques, such as the out-of-context quotes that are the topic of this discussion.

Should the same be done for creationism? Remind the students that this is religious belief, not based in science?

What "both sides" are you talking about? The case for and against evolution on the basis of what's missing from the scientific record? Or does "both sides" mean evolution and creationism?

And perhaps it would be best if we simply taught the students the meaning of the word "theory", which would probably help you out as well, given that your grasp of the definition of the term seems a bit shaky.

By definition, a theory is "unproven", it is "a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain natural phenomena <a theory of organic evolution." Note that the definition of the word theory nowhere contains the word "fact".

With that information in hand, our students would be even better prepared to deal with the information.

I am not running away like a cowrd. What facts presented? I just wanted to have a debate on the validity of evolution. I just wanted to see some quotes that remotely even come close to proving evolution. Instead I get neither. What I get is cute remarks, cut downs and deafening silence by you pro-evolutionists here when it comes to providing ample, solid proof that absolutely proves that evolution is anything more than a hole-ridden theory.

Please defend evolution. Please prove that it is absolutely true and not just one of many hole-ridden theories.

a quote is a quote, regardless of the time it was stated, if it is relevant to the topic at hand it remains so until disproven. nothing has happened in those intervening 25+ years to improve the situation for evolutionists.

The number of quotes from evolutionists condemning evolution is really devastating.

??? evolutionists condemning evolution ???

Hmmmm...and they are still evolutionists? Interesting.

No, there appears to be a long-term pattern concerning what I stated.

Have you noticed they are becoming more rabid lately? Interesting.

Both sides. The scientists who believing in evolution, and the scientists that don't believe in evolution.

There are scientists on both sides.

There are, in fact, non-religious scientists who don't believe in evolution. Let them and the non-religion scientists who do believe in evolution slug it out. We could start from there....
