Darwin on the Right: Why Christians and conservatives should accept evolution

Scientific American ^ | October 2006 issue | Michael Shermer

[Coyoteman]

Indeed. WOJ has done a fine job of silencing his creationist friends by being buffoonish to a caricature level. No matter how he stinks up the thread, WOJ is immune to criticism from the very side he is discrediting. Some people think there are no bad bullets fired at the Great Satan. (But obviously there are.)

I think you're right. Time to hang up the keyboard for the evening.

Good night all!

I'm sure you handle your evidence quite often.

[Dimensio]

Your quotes have no relevance to the theory of evolution. Also, your quote of George Washington is a fabrication, and I am unable to locate any attributions for your quotes allegedly from Adams, Hancock or Henry.

[Coyoteman]

- I offer EVIDENCE that I have PERSONALLY SEEN AND HANDLED, you offer warmed over evo-science fables. I also posted many links that substantiate every word I posted..which you and other evos have not refuted ONE WORD of.

I have personally handled a lot of the major specimens (as casts) in paleoanthropology.

And you have not refuted any of the archaeological EVIDENCE I posted, neither the archaeological data that fails to find a flood in the western US nor the mtDNA of continuity of Native American groups for some 10,000 years.

Your religious belief does not constitute scientific EVIDENCE.

the grasping for odd reasons to believe a theory devoid of the facts is bizarre. An honest and objective view of both side shows the lack of evidence for evolution. And it was originally proposed as a tool to try and create a doubt about the creator. I think the proponents don't believe that, but they are being unwittingly used by the darkside.

[Dimensio]

- I offer EVIDENCE that I have PERSONALLY SEEN AND HANDLED,

It is impossible for you to have "SEEN AND HANDLED" a carbon dating test that produced a result of "millions of years", as such a result can never come from carbon dating. Your claim is clearly false.

you offer warmed over evo-science fables.

Coyoteman has direct personal experience with carbon dating. Your refusal to address evidence that is presented to you does not alter reality.

I also posted many links that substantiate every word I posted..which you and other evos have not refuted ONE WORD of.

Ignoring the fact that you have been proven incorrect will not make your errors any less false.

[King Prout]

well,
you CLAIM to offer personal eyewitness testimony...
BUT,
you have DEMONSTRABLY misrepresented something so very simple and easily verified as a dictionary definition...
SO,
why should anyone believe something you claim which cannot be independently verified?

[King Prout]

prime

[Dimensio]

I believe that you are confusing your willful ignorance with a lack of evidence. That you refuse to examine the evidence for the theory of evolution does not mean that there is no evidence for the theory.

[King Prout]

nuts! missed it.

[VadeRetro]

It simply looks like your writing, not anything publishable. Given that your dictionary quote didn't check out very well, it would be hard to give you the benefit of the doubt here.

[King Prout]

Has the DEFINITION of evolution changed that dramtically since Darwin?

apparently, yes: the instant you laid hold of it and started typing.

[Dimensio]

Does it matter what year? Has the DEFINITION of evolution changed that dramtically since Darwin?

As has already been demonstrated, the "definition" that you provided is not the theory of evolution, and you have fabricated elements from your excerpt that are not a part of the actual World Book entry.

[Dimensio]

Yet, when closely examined, the Platypus performs how it was created to, and does so quite nicely.

Please demonstrate that the platypus was "created".

[King Prout]

don't harrass him with demonstrable facts and logical consequences, Vade... let's have more beer instead.
