Some of these people have been arguing against evolution for a long time, yet they cannot reason the simplest thing in an evolutionary framework. They can't get the hat on.

Okay, I accept the challenge. Suddenly, I'm an evolutionist. I can pretend, for a while, to be a Godless, Satanic, deluded fool. No heaven for me, no hell for you, just the blind, unguided forces of nature, and death is our reward, being only senseless oblivion. Meaningless, all meaningless. I can play the game. Test me, or wise one.

Many--probably most-- evolutionists believe nothing of the sort. Darwin himself certainly did not believe anything like this; see post #1812.

Three of your buddies have flunked this so far. It comes from a statement that gore3000 made to me, that for all we know, dinosaurs had mammary glands.

ID would indeed be mute on the subject. The Designer must not be second-guessed.

Evolution says no. It doesn't, as gore claimed to understand, "prove" it's impossible for Mrs. T-rex to be zaftig, but there's a line of evolutionary reasoning that it didn't happen.

What is that line of evolutionary reasoning? You may use any of the following and anything else you wish:

1) Reptiles have no mammary glands.
2) Mammals have mammary glands.
3) Mammals arose from a line of reptiles.
4) Birds arose from a line of reptiles.
5) Birds have no mammary glands.

I'm pulling for you, No-Kin. It would be an embarrassment to gore, if that's possible.
