Those are not examples of dialects. You can Google up some Ebonics, Redneck, etc. generators on the web.

The link you referenced (http://www.nwcreation.net/evolutionfraud.html) has some errors, and should be used with caution. Here is an example:

Neanderthal: Still synonymous with brutishness, the first Neanderthal remains were found in France in 1908. Considered to be ignorant, ape-like, stooped and knuckle-dragging, much of the evidence now suggests that Neanderthal was just as human as us, and his stooped appearance was because of arthritis and rickets. Neanderthals are now recognized as skilled hunters, believers in an after-life, and even skilled surgeons, as seen in one skeleton whose withered right arm had been amputated above the elbow. (source: "Upgrading Neanderthal Man", Time Magazine, May 17, 1971, Vol. 97, No. 20)

Here is a slightly more accurate account:

The first such fossil was discovered in 1856 in the Neander Thal, or "Neander Valley" in Germany, and became known as "Neanderthal Man". In 1904, German spelling was regularized to be more consistent with pronunciation, and "thal" became "tal". In 1952 Henri Vallois proposed that it should be spelt as the Germans spell it, and the "-tal" spelling has become widely used since then. The "-thal" spelling persists most strongly in England. ...

None of this affects the taxonomic name of the Neandertals. William King proposed the name Homo neanderthalensis in 1864. Since then, opinion has fluctuated as to whether they should be considered Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (a subspecies of Homo sapiens) or a separate species, Homo neanderthalensis. For the first half of the 20th century, they were usually considered a separate species. For the last few decades they have usually been considered a subspecies, but recently Homo neanderthalensis has been gaining in popularity again.

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/spelling.html

The bones were odd, thick and curved, and were originally thought to be those of an old invader, a deformed Cossack who had crawled into the cave to die. Several years later, however, after publication of Darwin's "On the Origin of Species," the Irish anatomist William King realized the bones' importance. They belonged to an ancient human who was biologically different from us, he said. He called it Neanderthal Man: man of the Neander Valley.

Looked at the "frauds" your site claims.

Piltdown Man: not nearly as "important" to evolution as creationists claim (creationists lie frequently), was exposed not by creationists but by evolutionary scientists who recognized that the parts just did not fit.

Nebraska Man: This was never a fraud. Creationists lie and claim that it was. An archaeologist found a tooth, speculated that it might have been from a hominid, but also said that it may well have been from something else. Was never professionally presented as a hominid find, later debunked by actual scientists. Creationists dishonestly claim that it was presented as "proof" of evolution by actual scientists because they are liars. There was never any "fraud" with Neanderthal Man. It was a fossil find that turned out to be from a non-hominid source, and no evolutionary biologist claimed otherwise.

Java Man has yet to be actually debunked by creationists. They can't actually demonstrate fraud in this case, but they claim it anyway because they are liars.

Ocre Man is just another case of creationists lying. As usual.

And I see that creationists are still lying about Neanderthal Man.

Thanks for the tips. I have a decent DVD of Animal Crackers, but it seems to be edited as you describe. Rats!

Knew but was forgetting about Maureen O'Sullivan's Jane stuff, of course. Must have given the movie-goers quite a thrill back when babies came from something called "whoopie."

The point is the efficiency and hopeful effectiveness of the message.

"Evolution - the idea - placed a human being behind zoo bars....consequences"

Nonsense.

"Verner fancied himself a missionary but early on reconciled his former beliefs with darwinism..which he belived in fully...racist that he was."

No, he WAS a missionary. Also, name someone who wasn't racist then. Darwin didn't invent racism.

BTW, Darwin as virulently antislavery.

These people aren't interested in truth. They prefer evolving lies that later blow up in their faces.

It takes a hell of allot of FAITH to believe in evolution than God any day of the week. Evolution is a religion that defies logic and lacks evidence.

LOL! Hey, maybe he is trying to shape the genetic code to his own standards. The cross between rooster and hen, for example, that lays a strange colored egg or a type of human who believes everything that is on television for propaganda purposes.

I often wonder ... those that claim to be "Christians" and viscously defend the lie of evolution and yet claim to believe in "god" ... well I wonder WHO that puny god is. It sure isn't mine.

Says the poster who lied about Antony Flew, then lied about ever commenting on Antony Flew in the first place.

Why should anyone listen to a brazen liar like you?

Spelling was not the point, Doc. And I ain't no using "Doc" in a despreciative way.

Well, I did make an enemy of Jack Chick...many years ago, I was posting on another site, and Jack Chick and I really got into it...he hated me...does that qualify as a good enemy?

That's good enough for Sainthood in my book! I don't know of anyone else who can make the claim that they are an enemy of Jack Chick! I think DarwinCentral™ should arrange a suitable award for this commendable and noteworthy accomplishment.

Perhaps if PH would bring it to the attention of the GrandMaster at DC....

"These people aren't interested in truth."

Are you kidding me? Truth is not even their ultimate intent. Can you think of Western Culture, Christianity and genetic pool?

As usual, "Dimension", no one listens to a rabid liar like yourself.

In the future I will TOTALLY ignore you. You're a VERY sick person. Making up lies about me to hide the fact that you are a very viscous liar. You'll have to pull someone else's chain for attention. None will be coming from me anymore.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I feel the need to take a shower. Thinking about you gives me the creeps and makes me feel very unclean. There is something VERY WRONG with you ... .
