[James C. Bennett]

How can you feel pity?

You have more time suddenly?

Isn’t that a state of more disorder?

Considering the fact that I realise the type of "debates" you choose to indulge in, and more importantly, choose to run away from, the increase in that certainty is actually evidence of more, not less, order.

De-evolutionary?

Just for the record, this is a meaningless term. Evolution can proceed in any direction that increases the odds of survival of the candidate that is under consideration. Others that I've pinged might be able to expand further on it, if needed.

What does “under consideration” mean? WHO is doing the considering?

You were unable to avoid the intelligent designer, even in your own attempts at describing evolution.

[stormer]

De-evolutionary is indeed a meaningless term - evolution is directionless and only represents the process of filling of available niches. Rather than "survival of the fittest", I've often thought the TOE tag should read, "relative success of the most adequate" - it's how we arrive at flightless birds and fish that walk on land.

Of course there is always the musical group Devo - one of my very favorites.
