"Evolutionary theory is not complete but it is quite an elementary and elegant theory that is hard to discount."

LOL! The creationists can discount it with a handwave, along with all the supporting evidence and research. They have this ability even though most of them have little idea of what the TOE actually says, how it works, what it predicts, and the nature of the evidence.

The guy has three PH D's

Really? In what?

This guy writes for the bottom of the barrel. He explains the origins of light using a radio antenna analogy? Has anyone ever seen light come out of a radio antenna?

Did you also teach your daughter that Islam officially endorses Creationism? Most Islamic countries forbid the teaching of evolutionary theory.

I don't recall a single debate or speech during the campaign in which evolution was mentioned. Did I miss something?

For those who may have been indoctrinated by evolution theory, (and how would one know?), you can read on-line for free. The guy has three PH D's and taught at the Air Force War College. Take a look.

I looked at his site and googled. There are about a gadzillion sites out there debunking him. Have you read his book? It's crapola. One guy debunked him by showing how he was referencing his son's school project!

At the moment, it is a bunch of scientific word salad wanting the rights and privileges of a theory without paying its dues.

BUMP

Apparently, he has.

I don't have three doctorates. Can you explain to me what this has to do with changes in the genetic make-up of a population over time--a phenomenon commonly known as evolution?

You have a nice day as well. Glad to hear that BBT resonates with you now and in the past. When will you leap? And where are you leaping to?:-}

I think getting to all corners of the earth in just 6000/8000 years, putting so many different people on the world with such distinct different appearances inbetween all the plagues, floods and dinosaurs. I'm truely impressed.

Beats me. The linked author seems to be a kook, whether he has the PhD's or not. I just guessed he sees light coming from an antenna; I do not know if he hears the broadcasts, though.

That remains a mystery. My road is not yet fully traveled. I certainly hope that surprises await. Boomers tend to like surprises. In that sense we are childlike. The sense of wonderment is with us until we die.

No we didn't discuss that. But I agreed that giving to the poor was good. And then I explained how Islam could have many things that were good, such as a moral code, but still be based on a lie. And when that lie is a rejection of God's plan of salvation, it very bad.

And I walked her through how we know who is a prophet and who isn't. From the miracles that confirmed Moses, to the tests of a prophet that Moses laid down.

She was 5 at the time and seemed to understand it well. But then her IQ was measured at 147 and she accepted Jesus at age two. And not because of pressure, she was asking questions. And she's never looked back. She's 8 now and wants to be a missionary. She comes and looks over my shoulder sometimes when I'm posting on FR. And takes a vivid interest when it's about religion.

when the majority of American's do not believe in evolution

Why are you bearing false witness like that?

Did you check out the Iraqi election threads? I'm hoping and praying I might add for a nice turnout.

Yup. I don't see bodies voting much on Fox News video. Let us hope that they do. This is really a rather seminal event in so many ways. A lot is at stake.

If you look up historical population growth, you want be that impressed. Even during the plagues and crusades, the population still grew.

The bigger question, is if man existed a million years ago and possessed tools, what happened that kept his population in check so dramatically for the first 990,000 years.

The video on the flood, did a good job of laying out both the evolutionist theory of grand canyon area being submerged under oceans several times.

ROFLMAO.

The Grand Canyon sediments being laid down in a variety of oceans and seas, isn't an "evolutionist" theory, it's geology. Universally agreed on eoglogy by every sane geologist on the planet.

I don't believe there happen to be any in the Grand Canyon, but Angular Unconformities throw a monkey wrench of colossal proportions into silly "all sedimentary rock everywhere laid down by the Great Flood" theories.

Kurdish turnout estimated at 80%. Of course the Kurds don't count, the election can only be a success if the dead enders in Tikirit come out.

My view, hopefully they come out and the snipers dead end them. :-}

That evolutionists have been pushing plans to start as early as kindegarden in indoctrinating kids into evolution so that they won't question it when they are older is despicable.

Yeah, right. It is "despicable" to teach science. Rather we should teach creationism or ID fairy tales that no one with more than a high school education could possibly believe.
