Charles Darwin's unfunny joke

Pat Boone hits it out of the ballpark.

[Strategerist]

He writes, "Millions upon millions of fossils have been collected to date, but there is no evidence of transition fossils, that is, fossils of organisms in an intermediate stage of development between steps on the evolutionary ladder."

This cannot be described as anything other than a bald-faced lie. Oft-repeated, of course.

There are THOUSANDS of transitional fossils that have been unearthed all over the world.

Pat Boone: once a crooner, now a looner.

[GSlob]

Pat Boone needs to evolve.

[Abcdefg]

"There are THOUSANDS of transitional fossils that have been unearthed all over the world."

Prove it.

[al baby]

Ok if we evolved from apes why are they still here ??????

[Abcdefg]

I believe evolutionists theorize that we came from a common ancestor, not that we are descended from apes.

[cgk]

This looks to be lively.

[Strategerist]

I'd paste the whole thing but it's several hundred pages (takes that long to list all the transitional fossils.)

So im related to Hillary after all oh gross

[Abcdefg]

Sound and fury, proving nothing. Mostly heat and little light.

The bottom line is that evolution is a tool of the left, used to destroy the notion that our rights don't come from a creator and are inalienable, but that they stem from human reason and understanding and thus are flexible and able to be subverted.

Why should I listen to an aging rock singer on matters of science?

[NicknamedBob]

"Prove it."

Pat Boone is a transitional fossil.

There.

[Strategerist]

Why should I listen to an aging rock singer on matters of science?

I don't know if Pat Boone qualifies as "rock."

Beyond it being Pat Boone, non-paleontologist, it's WingNutDaily, which is one of the greatest purveyors of science nonsense I've ever seen.

[Dinsdale]

'rock singer'??

For definitions of 'rock' that include lame pop music.

[GoodWithBarbarians JustForKaos]

Even if there are transitional fossils, do they disprove a Creator or ID? NO!

[HaveHadEnough]

The bottom line is that evolution is a tool of the left, used to destroy the notion that our rights don't come from a creator and are inalienable, but that they stem from human reason and understanding and thus are flexible and able to be subverted.

Yes. That makes sense.

This 150 year-old scientific endeavor was created and perpetrated to confuse people as to where rights come from.

[Michael.SF.]

If he or she dares to suggest or present the alternative theory of Intelligent Design ...lawsuits and intimidation will surely follow that teacher.

Or if he or she dares post such a thing on Free Republic... intimidation (not to mention insults and ridicule) will surely follow

Fixed your typo.
