Look LauraLee...you're wrong. Darwinism has long ago been shown to be pure mythology. It's only supporters are the phoney profs that use it as a vehicle for dumbing down the naive student population and applying for federal grants, AND gullible followers. Tell me, when's the last time you saw a half man-half ape OR a half man-half fish? You suggest: Tell the truth and people can decide. It seems to me people are deciding and the darwinist "groupies" view this independent thought as encroachment on their turf. Since they cannot bear detailed scrutiny, they make haste to silence the opposition.

I don't know what a "darwinist groupie" is, but your suggestion that we should find a half-man/half-ape, or a half-man/half-fish isn't "independent thought". It is asinine, and laughable.

And when, exactly, was "darwinism" shown to be "pure mythology"? I must have missed that one.

There are several in here. Can you spot them?

This statement was in response to me saying that people should be taught what we know thus far and then be able to decide for themselves. Evolution is a Generalization, we do not yet know all the specifics of it and probably never will.

You have got to be kidding me. No really, are you serious? Because I hate to tell you but that whole story about Adam and Eve- that's mythology. You are basically taking the position that the whole field of Anthropology is mythology. Do you not believe in Dinosaurs either?

Darwinism has long ago been shown to be pure mythology.

Please, only one "theory" mentions a supernatural being. It sure aint' Natural Selection. It is the so called "Designer" who will remain unnamed.

Can someone please show me some fossils that support ID? Will someone please show me any type of physical evidence that ID is correct. (Evidence that Natural Selection is incorrect does not explicitly support ID. Just because "A" is wrong does not mean "B" is correct.)

Do even *you* believe this goofy twaddle?

For frick's sake, go to a LIBRARY or something and educate yourself before you try again.

And thank you *so* much for giving lurkers more evidence for the common stereotype of conservatives as gradeschool dropouts...

Well, I HAVE seen (read or heard) some antievolutionists argue that Homo erectus can't be transitional because it's only an ape, while others have argued that it's not transitional because it's clearly human. (BTW, different editions of the SAME BOOK, namely Pandas and People, the one used in Dover, made BOTH arguments sequentially!!!) Likewise antievolutionists agree that Archaeopteryx isn't transitional between reptiles and birds, but with some claiming that it's a reptile while other claim its clearly a bird. The list goes on. Antievolutionist Duane Gish was so upset when an early whale, Basilosaurus isis, was found to have tiny but well developed rear limbs and feet, that he absurdly denied that it was even a mammal, let alone a whale.
