Ann Coulter states in her book on page 201 -
Darwin’s theory of evolution says life on Earth began with single-celled life forms, which evolved into multicelled life forms, which over countless aeons evolved into higher life forms, including man, all as the result of the chance process of random mutation followed by natural selection, without guidance or assistance from any intelligent entity like God of the Department of Agriculture. Which is to say, evolution I the eminently plausible theory that the human eye, the complete works of Shakespeare, and Ronal Reagan (among other things) all came into existence purely be accident.
On page 202, she states The “theory” of evolution is:
1. Random mutation of desirable attributes (highly implausible)
2. Natural selection weeding out the “less fit” animals (pointless tautology)
3. Leading to the creation of new species (no evidence after 150 years of looking)
My question – is she correct in her statements? Is that Darwin’s theory?
On the ligher side, check out the first paragraph on page 212. LOL Funny!
This is the first I've heard of that, but I noted also in this thread the same observation.
I are a ingenear :)
u r rly!!
I am capable of recognizing that while a lot of creationists who are scientists are engineers, most engineers are not creationists. Fear not! ;-)
Umm, let me count the grammatical errors ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5 ... 6 ...
You know, you remind me of someone trying to hit a pinata. You're taking blind whacks in every direction.
So all the patients granted to Drug companies today, they were created/invented by their staff. Those individuals are engineers? Their not scientist?

What Thatcherite said. Except I'm a mere scientist. Of my 3 sons, there's an engineer, a doctor, a scientist, a lawyer, 2 software designers, and a CEO (yes I can count). No hierarchy, they're all the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Thanks, Thatcherite. I definitely couldn't have said it better.
Festival of illiteracy placemarker.
No. Some patients may have been created by their staff but I would think most would have been created the old fashioned way.

"So all the patients granted to Drug companies today, they were created/invented by their staff."
That's patently absurd.
I would be better able to tell if it is absurd if I could tell what he actually meant.
Congratulations Russ. You've learned something. The title of that link: "The origins AND early evolution of life". The origin of life and its subsequent evolution are two separate things. Got it now? Well done!
Not mutually exclusive. The patients could have been created by the staff the old-fashioned way.
Vote early and often, I say.
Are "ingenears" engineers with ingenuity?
Please be patient. I am sure this will eventually have a happy ending.
I hope the expired patients get a decent burial.
