> We should shut down private schools and home schools, too, eh? Pardon, but your rampant liberalism is peeking through...
Again, seek help on obtaining at least a minimal education. You are embarassing yourself. You can't even do a decent ad hominem attack.
Origin of life is not evolution.
Only the whack jobs are still contesting common descent and whether evolution happens at all. The Kansas Board is in this latter territory.
Can two members of the opposite sex was implied, obviously.
It is the same mentality that would pictures the start of a marthon, the middle, and the end just see a bunch of steps and no journey.

Glossary of Terms
Assumption: Premise: a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn; "on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not to play"
Belief: Any cognitive content (perception) held as true; religious faith
Crevo: Creation vs. evolution
CrevoSci: Creation vs. evolution/Science
CrevoSci Warriors: Those who take part on CrevoSci threads
Data: factual information, especially information organized for analysis or used to reason or make decisions
Dogma: a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof
Fact: When an observation is confirmed repeatedly and by many independent and competent observers, it can become a fact
Freepday: The day a Freeper joined Free Republic
Hypothesis: A tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena; "a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory"; "he proposed a fresh theory of alkalis that later was accepted in chemical practices"
Impression: A vague idea in which some confidence is placed; "his impression of her was favorable"; "what are your feelings about the crisis?"; "it strengthened my belief in his sincerity"; "I had a feeling that she was lying"
Law: A generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature; "the laws of thermodynamics"
Observation: Any information collected with the senses
Theory: A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory"

No, I am sying "you are hardly a neutral source"
You suggested that reading the article which contained a link would be sufficient.
If you had said "go to the link" I would not have had to point out that you are hardly a neutral source.
I'm not following what you mean by this ... could you clarify your statement?
Thanks.
Precisely irrelevant.
Origin of life is not evolution.
Actually "another" might be better than opposite. Some critters have breeding strains that function about the same way as sexes. Schizophyllum commune, a fungus, has 28,000.
Basically, this guy is preaching "micro-evolution" because all he sees is a single step, and intentionally refuses to see the evidence of a series of "steps."
He doesn't have (or refuses to use, more likely) the mental ability to see how multiple small changes can accumulate to create something completely different.
It is akin to seeing hand drawn animation frames not running through the projector and not seeing how one can have motion --- just a bunch of pictures, each slightly different.
Okay, thanks ... I keep hoping for explanations from "the other side" though ...
We're keeping it simple. Think vertibrates.
Spoilsport.
I like fungi. They're not mentioned in Genesis. That might mean they don't exist.
But, we can be sure it's not "REAL" (wink, wink) chemistry and biochemistry...right?...
I'm sure Gish did the chemistry and biochemistry to get his degree (from Berkeley, I believe), and probably did very good work as a graduate student.
What peer-reviewed work has he published since then, is the real question. I'd be glad to give the man credit for any work he has done that has been published in referred journals - that's how scientific credibility works. As far as his rants about evolution, they really don't have much scientific relevance if they don't directly reflect actual accomplishments in science.
Well it works like this. First you decide you don't like the idea of one type of animal turning into another type. Then you decide to draw the line at species because...well because you have heard the word species and that sounds like it will do.
That's it - sorry
