This leaves us in a quandry, because I have book right here that says, in at least seven different places, that Cthulhu was the Designer of our universe. Since Cthulhu is a truly ancient and indescribable being (definitely elder god material) with vast unimaginable power, I find this theory plausible.

But I do agree that Marduk and Dagon were perpetrators and could not possibly be responsible for designing this remarkable universe. Marduk couldn't design a working ant farm, never mind a functioning universe with lovely organic critters like us. And as for Dagon, well, only an imbecile would believe that.

But Yahweh versus Cthulhu, that's a close one.

If your a math/science /engineering fella, telling me that entropy and information increase TOGETHER,
Then what you call science has lost it's way.

[Ichneumon]

I have been given multiple links of jumping "transitions" (nothing unlike differences commonly found within the horse family) and not yet any broad fossil evidence that shows life developing from one central ancestor. NONE! You are ignoring the evidence.

Do *you* even believe these excuses you give for hand-waving away the evidence?

[Doctor Stochastic]

Creationists have been intentionally misquoting Darwin on FR for some time. This continual intentional misquoting makes it difficult to take Creationists seriously.

I plan on reading "origin of the species" (correct?). Seriously, I don't think it will convert me.

No one is trying to "convert" you. Evolution isn't a religion. You can keep your religion and learn some evolution at the same time. And there's no need to buy it. It's available on line. Here's one site that has it:
The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.

Was the the same show in PBS that occured the same night that Jack Palance on "Ripley's Believe of Not" totally destroyed some fake occultists? I thought the juxtaposition was amusing.

[BMCDA]

OK, then what's your definition of information content?

[PatrickHenry]

I want fossil evidence layed out. Surely, some scientist has taken the time to do this...not artist, but scientist.

It's a big project. Lots of species, lots of fossils. They're working on it. The Tree of Life.

If your a math/science /engineering fella, telling me that entropy and information increase TOGETHER, Then what you call science has lost it's way.

Of course information and entropy increase together. You could read any of the texts on the subject. Shannon's original paper on the subject is available on the Internet (PDF format.)

[PatrickHenry]

Have you read the Bible? Any of it?

Irrelevant to a discussion of evolution, or any other science. Oh, regarding the Darwin link I gave you ... you're welcome.

[Dimensio]

Are there irrefutable historical accuracies in your book?

Irrefutable historical accuracies don't make the entire work accurate. I could write a complete work of fiction that references the JFK assasination. Just because one historical event is referenced wouldn't change the remainder of the tome.

[Dimensio]

By what means can your claims be tested?

[PatrickHenry]

I think the link I gave you was bad. Try this:
The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.
