If you’re gonna keep posting your creationist propaganda, please provide back-up proof from an unbiased outlet.

Every one of your articles comes from the Creation Research Institute or some some similar one-sided source.

Never is there independent confirmation from unbiased sources. And CRI, et al, usually follow the same approach as the Climate-Gate “scientists”, dismissing any evidence that contradicts “creationism” (like “radiocarbon dating is all a conspiracy”). Give us a break.

If you want to ignore the overwhelming evidence in support of the evolution theory, fine. But don’t pretend you’re following any sort of scientific approach.

And supporting evolution has NOTHING to do with quashing religious freedoms.

I agree with this statement.

If you don’t like it; you don’t have to read it. You post adds nothing whatsoever to anything. I can’t imagine why those who’ve bought into the Evolution propaganda would even care to look at something like this.

Because their faith is far too weak to believe that God’s vision of the universe is much larger and more complex then their small, petty, and bigoted minds.

What would you consider an unbiased outlet?

Sure it does. From eradicating it from public schools to demanding that any non-pro-evolution thread on FR be placed in the Religion Forum because every attack on the ToE is a *religious* attack, the whole MO of evolutionists is an attack on religion.

Evolution is the best weapon the atheists have come across in their assault on religion and it has been widely and gleefully used even by those who claim religious beliefs.

It's only the religious beliefs that support evolution that are acceptable to many. Religious beliefs that accept creation are mocked, ridiculed, maligned, and regulated.

You need to get with the program.

Every article at the links he provides cites many sources for its information. They are well referenced articles. But if you've never bothered to read them, of course you wouldn't know that.

Every one of your articles comes from the Creation Research Institute or some some similar one-sided source.

And TalkOrigins is what? Not biased? Not one-sided? Evos don't provide unbiased sources because there's no dissent allowed. Unbiased evo sources just don't exist.

"If you want to ignore the overwhelming evidence in support of the evolution theory, fine"

And that 'evidence' would be? - Exactly, there isn't a shred of physical evidence; just plaster carvings that illustrate what has been imagined out of minute fragments of bone and teeth, and sketches of imagined creatures that never existed, or fraudulent conceptions of embryonic development.

If there were even one single piece of physical evidence, you can be sure that its photo would be plastered by law on every billboard on Earth.

"Evolutionary theorists have been forced, step by step, to steadily retreat from the evidence in the field."

No, they haven't.

"Increasingly, they have been forced to tack ad hoc mechanisms onto Darwin’s theory to accomodate (sic) the evidence."

No, they haven't.

Evolution as the origin of species hasn't been defeated.

Natural selection as the driving force of evolution hasn't been defeated either.

As more information comes in from the fields of geology, paleontology, and biology, the mechanisms of speciation become clearer, but the basic theory hasn't been challenged in any factual, logical way. Besides, "evidence" is a non-count noun. I think the writer meant examples or research.

“If you’re gonna keep posting your creationist propaganda, please provide back-up proof from an unbiased outlet.”

Over the past several years the news and science writers have had a number of “supports” for evolution found, Ida, Ardi, Millennium Man, Lucy. What can these fossils tell us about ourselves? Indeed what can any fossil tell us about ourselves?

From an unbiased (not biased TOWARD creationism by any measure):

“Paleontology, read as history is additionally unscientific because, without testable hypothesis, its statements rely for their justification on authority, as if its practitioners had privileged access to absolute truth....”

If you want to know who said that I'll tell you in my reply so you can judge the words on their merits and not the source.

“dismissing any evidence that contradicts “creationism” (like “radiocarbon dating is all a conspiracy”). Give us a break.”

Carbon dating is accurate up to 5,000 years, after 5,000 years it cannot be calibrated against any historical data.

“If you want to ignore the overwhelming evidence in support of the evolution theory, fine. But don’t pretend you’re following any sort of scientific approach.”

Instead of pontificating the existence of the “overwhelming eveidence” in favor of evolution, please present the alleged evidence. Please do not pretend to take a scientific point of view.

If you want to ignore the overwhelming evidence in support of Global Warming, fine. But don’t pretend you’re following any sort of scientific approach.

Same tune different song.
