Evolution Ping The List-O-Links

A conservative, pro-evolution science list, now with over 360 names. See the list's explanation, then FReepmail to be added or dropped. To assist beginners: But it's "just a theory", Evo-Troll's Toolkit, and How to argue against a scientific theory.

I had to comment to beat all the evos to the punch--hehe:).

I haven't been on a good crevo thread in ages. Can't wait to see what this one brings on.

Bible is proof enough that God created the heavens and the earth in six days.

Hmmmm....this rationale is intriguing. It is in a book, ergo it must be true.

"But there is a ton of scientific evidence to support creation."

I'd be interested in seeing what a ton of evidence looks like.

Welcome to Southeast Missouri .

"For years I tried to use science to disprove there was a creator. I now use that knowledge to prove one exists."

Isn't this the same guy who ran for president last time around?

"The Rev. Tony Hammack, youth pastor at Christian Faith Fellowship in Cape Girardeau, said there is no mention of evolution cell theory in the Bible. He said the evolution theory cell theory doesn't even mention a God, who was the only one in existence when the universe and life began."

I think that fixes that, and shows their position a little better. :)

Back in the summer of 1990, I had to do a research project while on a trip. Stopped into a SEMO public library. Couldn't find any books on the Civil War. Why? They were classified under "War Between the States."

Maybe it's 2000 pounds of bird poop. hehe

[moog]

I thought War Between the States was when two fierce rivals in college football played.

[DaGman]

A rally for a "scientific" theory? A rally? They actually had a rally for a "scientific" theory? And 40 people showed up.

There is no controversy and there is no debate regardless of how desperately creationists want it to be so.

[MonroeDNA]

What a nutjob.

It's not in the Bible, so it can't be true.

Koran folks say the same thing.

I'd be interested in seeing what a ton of evidence looks like.

A It can be calculated. How many pounds of BS in a cubic ft.

[VadeRetro]

Must have been a short event.

[WKB]

It is in a book, ergo it must be true.



Not just a book. THE BOOK

"Evolution is a theory used to keep God out and it lacks scientific evidence," Hammack said. "But there is a ton of scientific evidence to support creation."

Here is evidence that Reverends can tell lies....Evolution says nothing about God and it's absurd to say that 'Evolution as a theory ... lacks scientific evidence' and in the same breath state that 'there is a ton of scientific evidence to support creation'.

If he was remotely honest he'd admit there is a great deal of scientific evidence to support Evolution, but that he thinks the 'ton of scientific evidence to support creation' he claims exists trumps it and then he'd demonstrate how it does.

Don't ridicule it. If a person uses THE BOOK as a source to live a good life and such, I don't see an expression of devotion to God as a bad thing. If one such as the terrorists uses a book as a source to carry out perveted plots of destruction, then there's a BIG difference.

Quabbling over evolution isn't the same as killing people.

There doesn't have to be a controversy anywhere here. If people can respect others' beliefs on this one, then there doesn't have to be any controversy. It's more where we're going that is more important anyway (in scientific, physical, spiritual or whatever context you put it.
