Scientists celebrate Darwin's birthday

Or, to the tune of Silent Night:

Shapeless blob,
Featureless blob.

Swimming in
The nutrient stew.

Join together,
Two cells into four.

Change the functions,
Then grow some more.

Climb up onto land.
Join the merry band.

Ahhh... no. Not even close.

When you get some free time, look up "sarcasm" and "satire."

Problem is the Darwin religionists "can't handle the truth."

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt!

In that amphibian tetrapods evolved from fish, sure.

>Problem is the Darwin religionists "can't handle the truth."

Let us all know when Darwinism really becomes a religion. And not just when anti-Darwinists try to tar Darwinism with the "religion" label simply because they don't like Darwinism.

Here's a hint: Darwinism is every bit a religion as Newtonian physics.

> Basically they are sayng that Darwin replaces Christianity for them.

That notion is, and has been, easily demolished. On the other hand, there are people who take the fish symbol, and it's replacement, rather more seriously:

Look in the mirror. There is no change, there is no evolution, I am a clone, I am the same as all before me. Now keep repeating this until you can deny reality.

"The people who believe in evolution ... really just sort of need to stand up and be counted," said Richard Leventhal

Leventhal has pegged it exactly right. Evolution is first and foremost a belief system for atheists and materialists. Darwin is their Moses, their Muhammad, their lawgiver.

Salem State College in Massachusetts has had a Darwin festival for 26 years.

It figures.

Creationists have festivals in Salem too. The last big one was when they hung the witches

[JCEccles]

Neodarwinists long to burn witches too. Their witches are people who refuse to believe that life can spontaneously organize out of dumb matter.

[Siena Dreaming]

Duh....that's part of why I said it figures. Salem has gone way the other way.

I have heard it said that science can explain everything after the "Big Bang". You have to turn to G-d to explain the void of space and the big bang. To create something from nothing is a pretty good trick.
