The theory of evolution is based on a vast amount of scientific evidence. And to date there is no scientific evidence that contradicts the theory of evolution.
Some ideas have been examined and dismissed, based on the evidence provided, decades or centuries ago. Until scientific evidence is provided that shows the theory is incorrect or incomplete, why should scientists pay these old ideas any attention?
Or are you suggesting that scientists reexamine old and discarded ideas continually, lest they be thought "close-minded?" Perhaps those proposing these old ideas be reevaluated once again could be troubled to come up with evidence warranting a reevaluation?
Any number of posters here could benefit from a visit to a phrenologist.
Heck, no, I am not suggesting anything. I am stating as fact that you are a very close minded person, more close minded than any IDer on here.
This thread started with a statement:
“The probability of a protein forming by chance would be 1064 [10 with 64 zeros after it] to 1!”
You, instead of refuting that or proving it to be untrue, posted your typical non-sequitur, which is both irrelevant and insulting:
“It is gratifying that so many religious people take an interest in science.
Now if only they would learn something about it...”
Wow, kids, there’s some science for you.
“And to date there is no scientific evidence that contradicts the theory of evolution.”
That is incorrect, ridiculously so. In fact much of what ID teaches is exactly that: the inability of evolution theorists to adequately explain a number of phenomena, including the mathematical anomaly which opened this thread. I doubt you have read “Darwin’s Black Box”, or having read it, closed your mind to its implications. Instead you and the other Evos try to divert the discussion by pretending all you opponents are young earthers, or want to impose religion on science, or some other bilge like that.
So as Heinlein said and you are a rather good example of:
“Belief gets in the way of learning.”
Kind of like multiverse, string and M-theory.
And to date there is no scientific evidence that contradicts the theory of evolution.
Except of course what several SCIENTISTS say is scientific evidence that contradicts evolution.
There's a certain amount of faith one must have to confirm evolution. But the cultists don't want any faith to creep into science but their own. Simple as that.
Evidence that contradicts evolution is edited out by the evolution adherents. It is not unlike how Conservative political viewpoint is edited out of Universities in much of this country. Also, so called global warming "facts" are accepted and anything that contradicts the established accepted viewpoint is edited out. Scientist who dare to contradict the false viewpoints are usually mocked and not accepted. Also, it is claimed that the people who believe differently are stupid and brainwashed. The established elite do what they want with the truth and have plenty of Godless followers eagerly accepting what is put forth as truth. As long as you can believe that there is no God you think you are free from His constraints and can go on living in rebellion from Him.
