"This conference was unique because it compromised all subfields of evolution from microbes to humans, ..."
I didn't realize that compromised fields and subfields was anything to brag about. :)
Not only that, but it's going to happen real soon now -RSN.
Or to use another analogy: just as the lack of WMDs proves Saddam wasn't a threat, and that Bush supporters are all Fox News-listening robots, the lack of transitional fossils proves evolution isn't a fact, and that scientists are all Darwin-worshipping acolytes/intergalactic sarcasm off
LOL!
There are no primate fossils that are more than 200 million years old.
There are no human fossils more than 5 million years old.
James Hutton had the idea earlier.
Close enough?
i don't get how that supports the theory of evolution
What is "not how science works". I am simply asking for one assertion that has been made by the theory of evolution that has been verified. Thats not too much to ask.
True, the earth must be old for Evolution to be true, BUT,
the fact that the earth is old does not mean that Evolution is true. I believe this is called a necessary, but not sufficient condition. Nice try.
Let me also add that our children are not clones of us and that there are 200 million year old fossils of sharks and crocodilians.
Are you saying that "Descent with modification...." is the mechanism by which new species are created? Has this been verified scientifically?
You are losing me. Sharks and crocodiles have been around longer than us. So what. How does that support the Theory of Evolution?
"Hi, everybody. I don't really have a dog in this fight, but could someone please explain to me why we shouldn't impeach Bush and throw him in a cell at Gitmo for being the lying, traitorous, cowardly, imperialist pig-dog dog he is? I mean, I'm a moderate, so I don't really care either way, but I'm just curious..."
The promoters and participants in this world summit appear to be in complete agreement with one another concerning one thing in particular: an intelligent agent cannot possibly be causative of anything biological, even though biological entities function with more complexity than many humanly-invented machines. I reckon it is of some comfort to be in the midst of the choir, but it is hardly demonstrative of scientific inquiry to use it for the sake of propping up a philosophy
Sheesh, make a bad joke an see what happens. I actually have seen cerenkov radiation with my own eyes from the core of a Triga-A reactor at U of I. :-)
Wowser! I am glad as well!!!!!!
By that rationale, then a geologist who thinks that earthquakes are caused by stress in the earths crust can't believe that God has anything to do with an earthquake.
I just don't understand why you guys think that the God you believe in is incapable of evolution, but He can do anything else.
