Darwin: "In October 1838, that is, fifteen months after I had begun my systematic enquiry, I happened to read for amusement
Malthus on Population, and being well prepared to appreciate the struggle for existence which everywhere goes on from long-continued observation of the habits of animals and plants, it at once struck me that under these circumstances favourable variations would tend to be preserved, and unfavourable ones to be destroyed. The result of this would be the formation of new species. Here, then, I had at last got a theory by which to work..."
More like the way Thomas Kuhn describes but not exactly scientific method, strictly speaking. The idea preceded any observation.

Mammals...
Do you know what those are???
To: allmendream
Have you ever heard of a form of life called the MAMMAL?

The ideas of Relativity preceded any observations that lended any support to the theory.
The formation of the Periodic Table preceded the discovery of many of the elements that make up the table, and preceded the formation of the theory of atomic orbitals.
In Science the idea often precedes the collection of data that would falsify or support the idea.

Does evolution only work on mammals in your world?

If God did not mark the days until day four, how do we know how longs days 1 through 3 were?
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years,

Eschoir,

Aren’t you supposed to stay away from FR?

My take is that you don't know what you are talking about. Mammalian anatomy... Should I find nice little 5th grade cartoons of a penis and vagina to show you how MAMMALS evolve... or is it to difficult for you to comprehend a very basic factual foundation in evolutionary theory and genetic theory???
I am curious about the uneasiness certain proponents of evolution have about the topic of sexual reproduction and how it relates to evolution.
Please professor, explain... I'm waiting...
To: allmendream
Right. So you are suggesting rational intuition has a sound epistemic foundation. Husserl, Brentano, Plato, Aquinas, St. Anselm agree.
To: allmendream
Does evolution only work on mammals in your world?Humans are mammals...
But please do explain to me how evolution operates in mammals... HETEROSEXUAL relationships...
SCIENCE PLEASE...

Make your point.

The Godless Evo-Atheists are too embarrassed by their obsession with everything gay so they avoid anything that questions their fetish for their *lifestyle*.

To: Sir Francis Dashwood
I am more interested in you explaining how evolution ONLY works in (hetero)sexually reproducing species.
Do you wish to amend or correct your statement?

John Scopes does look like the chronic masterdebator type.
And a little anxious. You may have a point.
To: bert
And yet evo-atheists wallow in their bigotry for all too see. They should look in a mirror, if they can take image.
