No I don't. Not really. I was born in 1957.
When I think of 1860, I think of Quaker Oats.

LOL! Good spoof!
There's more than one type of scientific method. And archaeological findings are results, while the other is a method. So...?
Since the Theory is still theory, it's not in fact science per se,
HUH?!?!?!?
The dispute about any Darwin/Hitler/eugenics connection, by the way, is being used as a red herring to distract from the even bigger issues.
Agreed.
Scientific method and archaeological findings are two very different things. Since the Theory is still theory, it's not in fact science per se, it's a belief system--often in fact a religion practiced by fanatics whose origins insecurity is overcompensated by dogmatic assertions and with frauds like Piltdown Man that help perpetuate 'research' funding.Uuuuumm.... You don't understand science *at all*. Gravity and the rest of Newtonian mechanics are theories too. Can you stop believing in gravity and levitate?
“the Theory is still theory, it’s not in fact science per se”
The Theory of Evolution is definitely not established as factual, scientific-method-proven verified fact.
;^)
My goodness, you’re the most militantly ignorant poster in the history of creationist threads on FR. That’s pretty impressive.

Take them all, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Elijah, Elisha, David, Solomon, Joseph, Samuel, Jonah, Job they were all living in a world full of evil.
Racism is not even hinted at in the Bible and it all boils down to the teachings of the revelation of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Jesus taught every Christian to love their neighbor.
Who is your neighbor the scholars asked?
He who is in need.
The meek shall inherit the earth.
That is the exact opposite of Darwin. Diametrically opposed.
;-)
“Darwinists have tried mightily to convince the American public that Darwinism is true and have mostly failed.”
In fairness, most Americans don’t know the difference between an atom and a molecule, or the difference between our solar system and our galaxy. Frankly, the ability to convince the public of anything is the poorest test of its veracity.

Forget the sunscreen.
The conflict between "nature red in tooth and claw" and our human yearning for utopian peace is reflected in Isaiah 11:6-9, "... and the lion shall eat straw like the ox" etc.
Of course, these verses have been the subject of endless exegesis of all kinds, including the idea that the present state of nature is "fallen", that it does not reflect God's ideal nature, but a corrupted and debased existence, at some time to be corrected.
So don't blame Darwin! ... "he didn't start the fire."
More surely even than anticipated objections to firm insistence on proper defining and use of scientific method, I can replicate the effects of gravity. I can replicate the rate of acceleration of the falling apple, etc.
Universally verifiable and replicable.
As opposed to a tooth or bone fragment or fraudulent Piltdown skull from which one can construct a fantasy animal and make-believe a place in the ‘fossil record’ for it, to much fanfare.
Let’s call religion religion, science science and theory theory, since only from that honest forum will any worthwhile discussion ensue; I have no time for any other kind.
It’s late. Good-night.
From their website...
Quaker’s history traces back to 1901, when several American pioneers in oat milling came together to incorporate under the name The Quaker Oats Company. It all started in the late 1800s when three different Midwest milling companies had independently begun to process and sell high-quality oats for the consumer giving the American family a product that would be superior in quality to the oats sold in open barrels at general stores.
In Ravenna, Ohio, Henry D. Seymour and William Heston had established the Quaker Mill Company and registered the now famous trademark.
In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, John Stuart, his son Robert and their partner, George Douglas, operated the largest cereal mill of the time.
Ferdinand Schumacher, known as “The Oatmeal King,” founded German Mills American Oatmeal Company in 1856, after selling oats in his Akron, Ohio, store for two years.
Combining these companies after the turn of the century brought together the top oats milling expertise in the country and gave the newly formed corporation a name that even then was a symbol of quality and purity.
You should check out Antiquity of Man (1915) by Piltdown scientist Sir Arthur Keith. It has lots more of that "scientific" comparison between monkeys, ape-men, and Tasmanian savages and such. You can pick it up here .
I've always said that this is good enough for me ... but I'm easy.
Still, I don't see how else it can be viewed.
More surely even than anticipated objections to firm insistence on proper defining and use of scientific method, I can replicate the effects of gravity.

They're constantly getting busted for doctoring results and making stuff up. Piltdown man is hardly an anomoly.Universally verifiable and replicable.

Also evolution and physics are more similar than you think. There are plenty of physical models like gravitation, where *we have no idea* why they work like they do. We just know that we can observe them.
Evolution is no different. We can observe the outcomes of evolution(fossils of extinct species, similarities of DNA in related species etc...) and even limited examples of speciation(drosophila, green warblers and salamanders).
You did say that "everything in science is false", didn't you? Why, if I remember correctly, you even highlighted everything with asterisks, like so: "*everything* in science is false." Have you changed your mind about this recently?
LOL... The fact that fundies have appropriated materialism so thoroughly is really quite bizarre. You don’t understand *anything* about your own beliefs do you?
