You’re the guy who won’t follow links and doesn’t like quoting an authority (except when you demand citations from others).

I'll follow links if I feel so inclined, but I prefer to read FReepers who can think and speak for themselves. There appear to be very few of those where the subject of evolution is concerned. Most of them behave as direct descendants of the parrot. I've only demanded citations out of sarcasm because they were demanded of me first.

If links and citations are your bag, please have at it. IMO they show how incapable the evo crowd is when it comes to thinking critically for themselves, and how inept they are at expressing their lofty concepts in simple terms. Or maybe it's a fear of rebuke. Whatever it is, it ain't science. It's about time they were dethroned from the science classroom and enshrined in the hall of shame.

This is such crap. Some months ago, I offered to walk Fester through the process of constructing a phylogenetic tree from molecular data, to show him that a lot of direct evidence for evolution is completely accessible. He declined.

He finds us inpet at expression only because he sticks his fingers in his ears and sings "LALALALALA'

No, Fester, it is you who is incapable of thinking critically for yourself, or accepting concepts, lofty or otherwise, that don't fit in with your peculiar understanding of what you imagine God wants you to do. Maybe it's a fear of rebuke.

The best way to get someone "dethroned from the science classroom" -- interesting word choice there -- is to show how the data are misinterpreted or the science is wrong. Sitting back and demanding "equal time" for the unscientific won't impress anyone but the choir, and only a few of them.

Whatever it is, it ain't science.

Great! Do tell. The working scientists on these threads would give worlds to know where they're getting it wrong.
