DittoJed.

Nope, nice try. DittoJed decided to leave FreeRepublic on her own. Her FR homepage is still up, which isn't the case for people who have been banned.

Such as this movie.

Every instance of evolution I've seen in a movie has been a parody or mockery. It's no wonder that Americans doubt evolution. They are wise to doubt what Hollywood peddles.

Well if a pig suddenly sprouts wings it hasn't evolved into a new organism. It's still a pig, but with wings.

Let me know when you find a pig with wings.

All the people who have been banned have offended the moderators in some way. The site owner and all known moderators are Christians, many of them creationists. You have to be pretty belligerant to get banned while supporting creationism.

I believe it was creationist Gore3000 who posted a reply to Jim Robinson, accusing him of being in league with the devil. That was pretty funny. Gore3000 wasn't around very long after that. I'll see if I can find that post...

Do you pass your suntan to you children?

Answer the question. Do you pass your suntan on to your children?

Yes, that's a fact. Stalin killed Darwinists, and Hitler was a creationist.

Those are new ones. I thought the current spin on Hitler was that he was a Roman Catholic working for the Pope. I didn't realize that Stalin was against Darwinists. That must have been after he converted to Islam. (rolling eyes)

[bobdsmith]

well you know the saying ;)

[Senator Bedfellow]

Look for the blue spew.

Where will evolution lead us; that is, make a scientific prediction based on your supposed 'law' of evolution.

I never claimed the existence of a "law of evolution", thus your question is meaningless.

My bad.

" I thought the current spin on Hitler was that he was a Roman Catholic working for the Pope."

No, but he was a creationist who thought that the Aryan race was the perfect special creation of God.

" I didn't realize that Stalin was against Darwinists. That must have been after he converted to Islam. (rolling eyes)."

I am sure there are many things you didn't know. Stalin had Darwinists killed.

[Dimensio]

I doubt that.

Of course you do, because you don't want to admit that you've set up a false trilemma. A creationist can never admit a mistake.

Out for the night ===> Placemarker <===

[Dimensio]

There is plenty of evidence in these threads where you gang up on a creationist/IDer and have him/her banned.

A reference to some of this evidence, then?

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"A creationist can never admit a mistake."

If they did they would implode and all space-time would implode with them. Whatever you do, don't get them angry!

Speaking of Gore3000, I think we have another 1⁷²⁰ moment.

evolution predicts that all antibiotics eventually become less effective due to the appearance of resistant strains of bacteria.

That's not evolution, anymore than me getting a suntan as a response to exposure to the sun has created a different organism. Try again.

Like I said, show me a pig with wings. You'll never see such a thing; because things simply don't evolve.

That's not evolution,

It is, actually.

Perhaps you might want to toodle off and actually learn something about biology before you attempt to critique it again.

Start here -- but don't make the mistake of considering yourself an expert just because you've read a few web pages and have *begun* to acquire the minimal introductory material on the subject (but at least you'll know a 100 times more about it than you do now):

• What is Evolution?
  • Introduction to Evolutionary Biology
  • What is Evolution?
  • Five Major Misconceptions about Evolution
  • Macroevolution
  • Evolution as Fact and Theory
  • What is Darwinism
• The Process of Evolution
  • The Modern Synthesis of Genetics and Evolution
  • Introduction to Evolutionary Biology
  • The Evolution of Improved Fitness: By Random Mutation Plus Selection
