Well then maybe this will help you?
I don’t believe we have a good theory on how life BEGAN. We can assume an intelligent creator or randomness but neither has been proven.
However, after life began, evolution is a solid theory.
We did not evolve from animals living today, but from a common ancestor. The majority of prehistoric animal fossils have not been preserved.

And then one day I discovered that the hut dwellers had something that I didn't. And so I started living in a hut. After a while I realized that I had never really truly lived in a house. I realized that I had lived in a hut all the time. I realized that others had convinced me that I had a big house that I had once lived in. And then I realized that these liars who had convinced me also lived in huts and were also being lied to.
And then I found out that the lie was started by someone who had been kicked out of the village.
Yes, that’s it, I’m intellectually inferior to this condescending astrobiologist with his copy of Darwin. ...Please! Think about it. The guy is an “astrobiologist.” Whew! I bet he is overwhelmed with evidence of life out there. (Dare we call it faith)? I’ll stick with my faith in God the Creator. If this “scientist” could open up his closed mind, he might find my beliefs reasonable.
No, I get how it’s supposed to work in principle. It’s just that I look around at humankind as it actually is, all the stupidity and folly it gets up to, and I think “THESE are the fittest? You’re kidding, right?”
Godless lunatic liberals have always seen themselves as intellectual giants, too self-absorbed to notice everyone else realizes the joke is on them.
So it's OK for an evo to put the explanation for how we got here in lay people's terms, even when he knows is inadepuate, but if God puts it in lay people's terms in the Bible, then it can be mocked and derided for *scientific inaccuracy*, and stated that it's wrong.
Hmmm, double standard anyone?
Is the lay public really too dense for the deeper knowledge of how evolution works?.
Of course not, but the self-appointed elite will never acknowledge that. Thinking that they're intellectually superior than the unwashed masses strokes their egos too much and gives them too much justification (so they think) to force their ideology down everybody's throats through litigation.
It really isn’t that complicated. I learned a long time ago that even rocket science aint rocket science.
There are not that many people that are significantly smarter than everyone else. And besides, that comes in handiest when coming up with original ideas. These ideas are easily explained to “normal intelligence” human beings, assuming the facts are there. So often, though, these “facts” do not hold up to the light of day.
That is the real problem. And no “for dummies” book is gonna help.
I probably am.
Another confirmation that dumb people, even well-educated ones, don't know they are dumb.
Until he or one of his dogmatic buddies creates a repeatable method of creating life artificially, he's just another speculating doofus...
Not a scientist.
Are You Too Dumb to Understand Evolution?
Apparently, judging by this thread alone, absolutely. I could post a new thread about this one and title it, “Are You Too Dumb to Understand Irony?”
Sheesh people, way to drag conservatives down another notch with your ignorance and nonsense. The silly ol’ “Why are there still monkeys?” canard? Seriously? Please refer to the title of this thread again.
And I always love how creationists seem to think that the last word on evolutionary biology was written in 1859. Again, please refer to the title of this thread.
Thanks.
It’s not that I’m not too dumb. I understand their theory well enough. As another put it, I don’t have enough of their secular form of faith to completely buy it.
And I will be waiting for a picture of a sleestak.
This has nothing to do with evolution but has everything to do with survival of the fittest!
Keep thinking that Bud...
Hey it’s simple. Evolution explains life. This is a subset of creationism which explains both matter and life.
It’s threads like these, chock full of support for ridiculous unfounded criticisms of real science, that make me question voting republican.
I understood and accepted the theory of evolution. Then I learned more and doubted.
An important part of any scientific endeavor should be the ability to use any output as an explanatory tool for other observed phenomena.
Applying evolutionary and plate tectonic theory to the observed biodiversity surrounding the so-called ´Wallace Line´in S.E. Asia/Australasia provides a coherent and well founded explanation for the different species found there.
How does creationist theory approach this phenomena and what are the results?
Most people are not. Unfortunately, for the Conservative Movement and this website, there is a minority that are.
