athiest secular humanist satan loving Christian-hating American God-hating scumbags

I hope you are not talking about those on FR who support the theory of evolution.

[dread78645]

And my best wishes to you in this New Year.

Seriously.

[durasell]

I think he was joking.

[Thatcherite]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[Coyoteman]

I hope so. That's a pretty powerful mouthful otherwise, especially as there are many of us here on FR on each side of the issue.

[durasell]

Would make a good t-shirt for somebody or a punk rock band name...

[dread78645]

... causes the athiest secular humanist satan loving Christian-hating American God-hating scumbags to come out of the woodwork to kill it because it endangers the minds of children which they'd like to control. Just like the queer agenda.

Wow.

Anybody got a tissue to clean the spittle off the inside of my monitor?

[RunningWolf]

What is taught?
1) Humans evolved from apes.
2) Life came from a primordial chemical soup.

Among other things they are going to say it is a common ape man ancestor, like thats any different /sarc>

[Thatcherite]

That's a deliberate lie, I shied away from nothing

You posted an avalanche of nonsense, that you've posted before, and that has been refuted before. CG refuted it yet again, and you ignore his refutations, just like you always do. I confidently predict that you will appear again soon with the same tired nonsense.

proving evolutionists lie again, just like Piltdown...

Please present your evidence that Piltdown was specifically an evolutionist lie, and not some other form of hoax or fraud.

Actually, it gets better. Creationists bang on and on and on about a hoax that was perpetrated 90 years ago, doubted 75 years ago, and finally debunked 60 years ago. The fact that again and again this one tiny incident appears to be their best killer argument against evolutionary science demonstrates the witlessness and threadbare nature of evolution rejection.

[Thatcherite]

"1) Humans evolved from apes."

Among other things they are going to say it is a common ape man ancestor, like thats any different

Oh wolf, you still haven't learned anything. Actually the response to that one is that humans *are* apes.

[dread78645]

And all the best to you.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Wow.

*bow*
Happy New Year. :-)

[dread78645]

And to you to.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

And yet another creationist dishonestly claims that all who accept evolution and recognize ID as non-science are atheists.

So you're a Christian evolutionist are you? What's it like?
Happy New Year. :-)

[Thatcherite]

I am assuming he is the author, James E. Bancroft.

Well, if he isn't James Bancroft then either James B or RaceB is a plagiarist.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

Looking at the piece again, it clearly states that it was a self written article, and the author was James E. Bancroft. He's just too much of a coward to defend his posts. I don't blame him, there is nothing that is defensible in them. Par for the lying creationist course.

[PatrickHenry]

I know the list is long already, but how about, "It was from peer accepted books, and therefore MUST be considered accurate by evolutionists"

Not bad, but I'm waiting for better. I really want something from this particular poster, and I've been following the "debate" with great interest. But as so often is the case, it's not easy to find one great sentence that perfectly captures the madness.

***THIS IS A GENERAL RESPONSE - NOT DIRECTED AT YOU PERSONALLY***

The Pro-Evo group posts a thread looking for an argument, not a debate. They can't do it alone, so they ping all their pro-Evo buddies. They also know full well that the debate will never be settled in these threads, they are looking to elicit a fight and to rub people's noses in it (primordial slime).

After recieving the response they don't like they cry a river about someone not being able to prove a matter of faith. Jeez, give me some crackers with that whine!

The most hypocritical aspect of the Evos is their desire to constantly have this debate on Freerepublic. Hypocritical? Yes, they are charged up, ping lists ready and look forward to this debate with sole purpose of sticking it to people of faith, but would never allow a similar debate to happen in a classroom.

Personally, I find this debate on Freerepublic entertaining, thought provoking, disgusting, irrational, and sometimes enlightening. It is too bad that this debate could not happen in classrooms across America. The kids might even enjoy school more and stay awake in science class.

"The author (who exists outside of our time domain as proven by His knowing history before it happens) of the Old Testament became a man in Jesus Christ. He preformed many miracles before multitudes, including His own resurrection from the dead; which changed mankind to it's core."

Prove it.

And the pro-Creation group only posts out of their sense of Christian charity... lol

"After recieving the response they don't like they cry a river about someone not being able to prove a matter of faith."

Obviously this wasn't about me, because I was debating a matter of fact. Creationists will post any old ridiculous thing, then, when asked to back it up, they whine like a Democrat and run away. You have it 180 degrees wrong.

Horse manure. You haven't been following the debate very long/well. It shows. A good many evos here are Christian. People of faith.

"Personally, I find this debate on Freerepublic entertaining, thought provoking, disgusting, irrational, and sometimes enlightening."

Well, since you have decided not to enter it, it would be best just to move along. We don't want you to barf over something you aren't willing to engage in.

"It is too bad that this debate could not happen in classrooms across America. The kids might even enjoy school more and stay awake in science class."

Whole Language has been tried already, as has Whole Math. We don't need Whole Science as well. ID/creationism is not science, and does not belong in a science classroom any more than Scientology or astrology do.
