In other words, no evidence, you just pulled it out of your nether regions, a typically Darwininian just-so story.
Claiming that doesn't make it so.
Creationism is clearly based on religion. So you're half right.
Evolution, on the other hand, is a scientific disipline, whether you choose to accept it or not.
Deal with it, and stop consoling yourself with smug empty bumper-sticker platitudes which sound good but fall apart under ten seconds of examination.
The evolutionists are less honest about it, or perhaps less self aware than the other side.
Yawn. If that helps you sleep at night, don't let me disturb your comforting misconceptions.
If you have an actual case to make, which I highly doubt, now would be the time to present it. If you believe that your one-liners *do* constitute a comprehensive and sufficient case, however, I regret to inform you that slogans are not an actual argument.
Wow, that sounds just like something Ted would say...
If you think that my pointing out all your incredible similarities to the style, behavior, and content of Ted Holden amounts to "no evidence", then not only are you clearly unequipped to continue this conversation, but you show the same sort of obtuse "deny what you can't refute and then counterattack" style that Ted has been using for the eight years I've been debating him online.
Curiouser and curiouser.
If you aren't Ted, you're his slavish disciple. Why don't you try thinking on your own for a change instead of channeling Ted's brain (and old material)?
I hope you don't think I'm a creationist. I sometimes post articles I disagree with--as is the case in this instance. Why would I do that? To learn from the discussion, and to help others do the same.
Biology and evolution are not my specialty or expertise, and when I see an article or argument that I can't easily refute myself, I may very well post it in order to see whether someone else can do so. Although I am an atheist, and do not believe in creation theory, I do have an open mind, and am not afraid of arguments or evidence that appears to challenge what I believe.
Actually, I'm a pan-critical rationalist, and so don't "believe" anything in the absolute sense of "unshakable faith without proof." All my beliefs are subject to challenge and revision--at least in principle.
Your admission that you can't keep up your end of a discussion is duly noted.
You see, being able to understand simple English prose (not necessarily agreeing with it, but at least being able to grasp what the other person is saying) is sort of a prerequisite to intelligent discussion.
It appears as if you are the disciple of Ted.
I deny, because it is not true and you haven't provided any evidence, only your blather.
Clearly, you didn't bother reading the links I provided you, since one of them specifically addresses your question.
Try again.
Meanwhile, I will ponder the adage about leading a horse to water.
Clearly, you need glasses.
Or at least a dictionary.
I'm sure you'll be gone for a while, as it certainly confuses you.
How witty!
You obviously had your posterior handed to you continually for eight years. Your luck isn't changing.
You were babbling.
Happens a lot on these threads by religious whackos like you.
Science is science. Biology is a scientific discipline.
What is talked about here is not. It is religious argument.
Those partaking often babble on thinking they are spotting heretics and infidels, eg your babbling inner monologue with delusions of your mind you project on what I wrote.
Hardly ever does one get a straight answer or discussion from people who are zealous for evolution. It is strange and should be the opposite.
OK.
You cannot even keep this straight.
Evolution is a scientific theory.
Many disciplines address it and contribute to it -- eg just about all fields of biology, anthropology, geology etc...
