"I don't post them to "overwhelm" anyone, I post them to correct the overwhelming flood of lies and disinformation that "you and others" post in misguided attempts to attack biology."

Questioning is not lying. Why is questioning your biology mis-guided? Are you really that perfect?

"Science does not deal in "proof"

So, you are not really interested in origins, correct?

"Define "resulted from creation"

Originating with a Creator. Actually, I believe it is either/or for any Bible student. Law of the excluded middle. For your side, Lewontin said you cannot allow a divine foot in the door. For my side the genesis of "yom" is "warm" meaning a day, period. For anyone that has to try to marry the two he will face multiple difficulties.


"No, I'm not, because I understand what he's saying, unlike yourself."

Insult aside, I was referring to his statement that no transistional forms exist. You say they do.

"Stop grasping at every new hypothesis in the desperate hope that it "overturns" everything..."

You presume too much. I am certainly not desperate. Surely you are not saying that your doctrine is fully matured and not subject to change.

Somewhat off-topic, but it was interesting to read up on how Lewontin and Gould wanted to eat their own when Wilson started introducing sociobiology to the picture and survival of the fittest...Didn't quite square with the Harvard egalitarianist mind-set, ya know. I don't know if you are aware of how highly Lewontin thought of himself and his community, but it is really a little unsettling.

["I don't post them to "overwhelm" anyone, I post them to correct the overwhelming flood of lies and disinformation that "you and others" post in misguided attempts to attack biology."]

Questioning is not lying.

I didn't say it was. Learn to freaking read.

I didn't say it was. Work on your reading comprehension.

Are you really that perfect?

I never claimed I was. Get your Mommy to help you with the big words.

["Science does not deal in "proof"]

So, you are not really interested in origins, correct?

So, you managed to completely misread my sentence -- I hear "Hooked on Phonics" can help you improve your reading comprehension.

["Define "resulted from creation"]

Originating with a Creator. Actually, I believe it is either/or for any Bible student. Law of the excluded middle. For your side, Lewontin said you cannot allow a divine foot in the door.

Lewontin's an idiot. The *majority* of American evolutionists are Christians, so clearly most evolutionists have no problem at all "allowing a divine foot in the door". Sorry if that makes your head explode. Reality can be *so* inconvenient for creationist conspiracy theories.

For my side the genesis of "yom" is "warm" meaning a day, period. For anyone that has to try to marry the two he will face multiple difficulties.

If you say so.

["No, I'm not, because I understand what he's saying, unlike yourself."]

Insult aside, I was referring to his statement that no transistional forms exist. You say they do.

And so does he (Schwartz). See post #631.

["Stop grasping at every new hypothesis in the desperate hope that it "overturns" everything..."]

Yeah, sure you're not.

Surely you are not saying that your doctrine is fully matured and not subject to change.

Of course not, but that's irrelevant to the points I was making in the post to which you are responding. The creationist habit of frantically leaping upon every new paper which even remotely appears to challenge any aspect of evolutionary biology is a clear sign of both desperation, and ignorance of the incremental nature of science.
