What does your post mean?

[PatrickHenry]

Talk.origins has a long and fairly new article on the confusion surrounding Haeckel's Embryos.

[Oztrich Boy]

Well if you can't see how the Creationist rules of debate operate...

Shall I declare victory and make it official?

[js1138]

I know how these threads go. Creationists bring up 100 year old controversies as if nothing has happened in the meantime. The Haeckel drawings bear the same relationship to biology as as Lowell's Mars drawings do to astronomy, and they are referenced in textbooks for the same reason. They are an interesting part of the history of science.

Wait. They still have Piltdown Man in their bag of tricks. (That's okay, we have Rev. Jim Jones.)

Stuff it!! Where your knowledge is. I wasn't talking to you anyway.

From your link: The similarities between vertebrate embryos are real.

From 29+ Evidences For Macroevolution:

Figure 2.4.1. Cat and human embryos in the tailbud stage. A cat embryo is shown on top, a human embryo below. Note the post-anal tail in both, positioned at the lower left below the head of each. The human embryo is about 32 days old.

My objection to your proposal remains as stated.

[PatrickHenry]

Stuff it!

Stuff it!

Reality isn't everything. The Great Pumpkin is.

[PatrickHenry]

Fish --> [transitional fossil found!] --> Amphibians

Creos in panic!!! ((((Suicide watch in effect))))

TOTAL DENIAL!!! Creation "science" fails again!!!!! ##Kool aid ready###

ARRRRGGHHHH!!! </f.christian memorial mode>

[headsonpikes]

Seems to me that you miss ol' effdot. ;^)

[PatrickHenry]

He never added anything positive to any conversation, but he was certainly colorful. I think he misses me a whole lot more than I miss him.

Post 174 "The Bible. Read it, and you won't need to read anymore."

Pst 203 "I myself love to read scientific articles and journals."

Ok, kid...which is it? Read the Bible only, or it's ok to read other stuff too? Oh wait, I forgot about the 11th Commandment. You know - the one that was chipped off when Moses' servant, Herschel, tripped and dropped the Tablets? The one that said, "Thou shalt remain ignorant." Pretty important one around here it seems.

"No I am not kidding, and don't patronize me."

If you knew RadioAstronomer, you would also know that he never patronizes...he is a scientist, and sometimes that means asking uncomfortable or seemingly simplistic questions.

"Take care wise guy."

Ibid, my previous remark. BTW, you want arrogance and wise remarks, talk to me. I'm not nearly as nice as my friend, RadioAstronomer, and certainly far more controversial.

Free Tip of the Day - You wanna be taken seriously, learn to spell.

Creos in panic!!! ((((Suicide watch in effect))))

Suicide is a sin. I refer you to the 11th Commandment, which goes into effect anytime substantial and credible scientific information is revealed.

[Aracelis]

They still have Piltdown Man in their bag of tricks.

Irrelevant, as we Piltdowns have all evolved.

[PatrickHenry]

Nice pic. Looks like someone bashed you in the eye. Not everyone likes a smart-mouth. Of course, I'm not everyone ...

[RadioAstronomer]

I agree, no creationism in our schools and no evolution either. Good start, clean slate.

*Bzzzzt*, wrong, but thank you for playing.

You may want the kids in your schools to be ignorant, however, I do not.

I'm not nearly as nice as my friend, RadioAstronomer, and certainly far more controversial.

Been there, done that.
