Caught in the act of evolution, the odd-looking, feathered dinosaur was becoming more vegetarian, moving away from its meat-eating ancestors.
It had the built-for-speed legs of meat-eaters, but was developing the bigger belly of plant-eaters. It had already lost the serrated teeth needed for tearing flesh. Those were replaced with the smaller, duller vegetarian variety.

So let's get those reviewers out of the system and everything will be fine!

Thphth!
If evolution is so indubitable, then
Why are most people not persuaded?
Why are scientists abandoning it?
Why is it a theory in crisis?
Why, as with Islam, are those who leave the evo plantation threatened with job loss and ruin?
Why hasn't a monopoly on the public schools caused belief in the evo fairy tale to increase?
Non-Evo scientists.. The Evo scientists are hampered by their own DOGMA(s).. except they do argue among their congregations like protestants do of different sects.. Which dogma do YOU adhere to.?. if any.. Evos are more like Baptists.. There are many kinds of Baptists but they all agree on certain things.. but mostly on being a baptist is better than being a non-baptist.. same with Evos.. they argue on minutiae but agree that God did not create man.. at least the God of bible fame did not create him.
"Materialism says the universe is mindless; and faith says it is ruled by the highest mind. Neither will be satisfied with the new progressive creed, which declares hopefully that the universe is half-witted."-G.K. Chesterton
"It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn ITself into everything."-G.K. Chesterton
"It had the built-for-speed legs of meat-eaters, but was developing the bigger belly of plant-eaters. It had already lost the serrated teeth needed for tearing flesh. Those were replaced with the smaller, duller vegetarian variety."
This was a "crossover" model, designed for running down and eating fast moving plants.
Which is complete BS. Evolution has nothing whatever to do with "how the universe came into being"
Only a creationist could be so ignorant.
They aren't.
Why are most people not persuaded?
Worldwide, educated people are.
Why are scientists abandoning it?
They aren't
Why is it a theory in crisis?
It isn't
Why, as with Islam, are those who leave the evo plantation threatened with job loss and ruin?
Because if they are scientists "leaving the evo plantation" is the approximate equivalent of taking leave of your senses.
Why hasn't a monopoly on the public schools caused belief in the evo fairy tale to increase?
Beats me, I guess church instilled attitudes die hard.
Given that the Earth is part of the universe, the conclusion that the universe is "ruled by the highest mind" is manifestly ridiculous. If anything, the earth is an argument that there is no intelligent life in the universe.

The two propositions are equally improbable. I prefer the one in which God is not insane.
When I use the word evolution, I am not referring to the minor variations found in all of the various life forms (microevolution). I am referring to the general theory of evolution which believes these five major events took place without God:
1. Time, space, and matter came into existence by themselves. 2. Planets and stars formed from space dust. 3. Matter created life by itself. 4. Early life-forms learned to reproduce themselves. 5. Major changes occurred between these diverse life forms (i.e., fish changed to amphibians, amphibians changed to reptiles, and reptiles changed to birds or mammals).

That's one of the funniest pieces of silliness I've ever seen.
Actually all fakes are found by evolutionists because creationists do no field work. (They don't find real fossils either.)
All fakes are exposed as fake by evolugionists because creationists do no lab work. (Piltdown for example.)
I've had similar experiences with Dataman. I tend to forget unplesantries, so I don't remember the details.
I've sometimes I've thought that he was a evo-troll, making creationists look bad. I think I accused him of that at one time and got no response.
1. Why are evos so afraid of criticism?
They are not. They do, however, annoyed with the same old lies repeated over-and-over, even with those lies are shown to be lies.
2. Why are most people not persuaded?
Same reason so many people think the moon shots were faked in a back lot in Hollywood, I suppose.
3/4. Why are scientist abandoning it? Why is the theory in crisis?
Don't know what you are talking about. You misperceive quibbling about the details (fast vs. slow, spurts vs. graudual) and other typical give-and-take on how something works as a crisis.
Scientist's float competing theories and they test each other.
4. Why, as with Islam, are those who leave the evo plantation threatened with job loss and ruin?
I would be interested to hear about that. I suspect it's just more lies. If true, it sounds pretty intolerant to me.
5. Why hasn't a monopoly on the public schools caused belief in the evo fairy tale to increase?
This I blame squarely on teacher unions. The state of science education is so bad that half the kids probably think the world is flat, too.
Doesn't make the world flat, though.
6. Evo believers are going the way of the dinosaur.
So they are evolving? Or leaving room for other species to evolve?
Survival of the fittest, I say.

I've wondered that too.
"but agree that God did not create man.. at least the God of bible fame did not create him."
Wrong.
Many merely disagree with the way you chose to interepret the Bible.
