I'm pretty sure that's always been the case.

I'm 4/6ths of my way through my degree in medicine. It's not directly relevant to evolutionary biology however.

He's right actually, those figures come from the Journal of the American Medical Association. John, I would suggest that if you're quoting a scientific paper, you link to the journal not to some random website. People will not take it seriously otherwise. Is US health really the best in the...

I must say, the presence of a 90 year old fraud has really shaken my confidence in science. :( Clearly the answer is that the world is flat afterall?

How would it be evidence for another intelligence? The only thing it would show is that evolution (well, common descent anyway) is the wrong answer.

Err.. not only is it not a strawman argument, but he's made a good point.

Except genesis, the flood, the exodus.. etc?

Oh I know, I've been registered on this forum for years. John's ability to be totally clueless about the world never ceases to amaze me though.

Incorrect. There's absolutely no way a chimaera could work with evolution. That's his point. It would prove evolution wrong.

Er, you're kidding me right?

Bible quotes, opinions, images you've found on Google, misunderstanding of basic scientific concepts and your own imaginings are not evidence. We aren't trying to fool you here John. If you post real scientific evidence for what you believe in, then we'll acknowledge that. If you post something...

Well there you go.

Oh my god. I completely missed this thread. Let me get this straight - John posts a plastic gorilla skull, claims that it's lucy's skull, then completely ignores any criticism to the contrary, responding with "EVOLUTIONISTS ARE FRAAUDS RAAARGGHH"? *breaks out the popcorn

Ok, I know this is difficult, but there's a picture in the OP. Actually look at this time. Look at the dating. Note: they are in order of age, not similarity. (A) Pan troglodytes, chimpanzee, modern (B) Australopithecus africanus, STS 5, 2.6 My (C) Australopithecus africanus, STS 71, 2.5 My...

He's asking what on earth would you teach. My 7th form biology class (senior year at high school) was almost entirely evolution (creationism is unheard of in the rest of the developed world) - there was a huge amount of information on things like genetic drift, sexual selection...

I've always wondered what fundies think when they see overwhelming evidence that they can't explain. "I know creation is correct, so this can't be true", "I can't explain this but there must be some explanation"? But no, it seems like the answer is really "LALALAAALAAA, NOTHING IS HERE I CAN'T...

Hahahaha ahhhh... hahahaha. *wipes tear off face Hahaha.

He likely said it to get continued support from ID/creationist zealots (such as yourself!) who don't have the intelligence to realise that he's never going to go through with it. Kinda like his position on abortion. And the constitutional amendment to gay marriage. Etc etc.

Yea, this sucks mightily. Humanity is worse off without him.

You're reading it wrong. Very wrong. ~2% total difference between human and chimpanzee DNA (this is only talking about nuclear DNA, not mitochondrial DNA), 5.9% difference in certain mitochondrial regions between Neanderthals and humans, and a 15.6% difference in those same regions between...
