    Evolution as a theory of creation is a JOKE

    Hi adimus You don't know me -- I was hanging around here for a while but haven't been back for several months. Basically I got a bit tired of the same old fallacies, AV's puerile sophistry, drive-by PRATTs, etc etc, and I couldn't really afford to waste the time. But someone [you know who you...

    Charles Darwin to receive apology from the Church of England for rejecting evolution

    Belk, this is more for you than AV, but... (Emphasis mine, obviously.) The post-cleansing offering instructions start in verse 10. Before that it sounds a whole lot like a cleansing ritual. Now, it could be that the KJ translation makes it sounds that way, but it's not really supposed to...

    Charles Darwin to receive apology from the Church of England for rejecting evolution

    Of course not. And neither are Catholics, who were to blame for the whole Galileo thing. (I'm pretty sure Independent Fundamentalist Baptists get everything right.)

    nose evolution

    But what about Don't forget that ZOMG! Take that, evilutionists! I hope nobody conducts an experiment to throw random crap into a wind tunnel and observe that the resulting flow is not simply laminar or turbulent... :doh: But where would we be without some good quote mining? Oh, and...

    nose evolution

    Humperdink: And then my ears, I suppose. I understand -- let's get on with it. Westley: Wrong! Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why...

    nose evolution

    The shortening of human tongues is a result of The Fall. Duh. And as someone who had to have the inside of his nose cauterized as a child, I can assure you that mine is not intelligently designed. Or maybe weak nasal blood vessels are a result of The Fall.

    Evolution = Athiesm

    Best not to think about them. Just a general statement of good policy :cool: Anyway... Not that I'm an atheist (yet! -- give you evilutionists time and I'm sure you'll have me worshipping nature and loving teh gayz soon enough), but evolution has shaped my theology. And I guess many would...

    Facts for evolutionists

    Exactly. This point needs to be stressed when this issue comes up. Remember when AV "challenged" us to write the "pi=3" verse? Several people did it just fine (AV didn't realize it, of course, but I think someone may have finally got it through to him) precisely by leaving off the...

    Endogenous Retroviruses

    That's 17.3 kinds of superwin. And since the derail has been derailed, can I just add: who else thinks that Endogenous Retrovirus would make an awesome Asterix name (Roman, obviously -- I'm thinking some kind of secret agent)?

    Facts for evolutionists

    Part The Second: I don't think I've said you were. If I did, or you interpreted anything I said that way, then I apologize. (Your replies aren't targeted, so...) Nope. Heard this attempted ad hoc before, but it fails. The "molten sea" is ten cubits from one brim to the other and 30 cubits...

    Facts for evolutionists

    Wow, turn your back for 1 second* and see what happens... *well, a time equal to the accumulation of a large number of 1 second increments ;) There's much to respond to here, but most of the biology has been well covered already, so I'll limit myself to those areas more aligned with my...

    Facts for evolutionists

    Wow, that's some pretty spectacular point-missing there, chief. Still, I shouldn't expect someone who believes the world was created complete in 6 "days" to be an expert in figurative language usage. Let's try the analogy again. Analogy. Got it? Everyone say after me "analogy". In the same...

    Facts for evolutionists

    QFT. If I was Jewish, I think I'd be ... terribly vexed ... by a bunch of loudmouthed heretical n00bs telling me how to read my own books.

    Facts for evolutionists

    Not really. There are various analogies that work here to illustrate that these "limits" of yours -- which, I note, we're expected to believe exist even though you admit you can't demonstrate their mechanism (or, for that matter, provide any form of evidence for) -- are nothing more than a...

    Ray Comfort Rebuttal

    Yes indeed. Pseudorandom anecdote: when I was 12 I had to memorize the Gettysburg Address for English; we had a week to do it, but I completely forgot until the night before we were due to recite it from memory; freaking out, I remembered that one of the hints the teacher gave was to read it...

    Sarah Palin: Creationist

    Ditto. Which goes to show how low the bar's been set. How sad is it when discovering that someone accepts the findings of science means your opinion of them increases? Excuse me while I :cry: a bit.

    Evidence For Evolution

    But that implies random mutation which implies evolution. So why accept that God made Man by divine fiat out of clay (with a virtually identical genome to chimps) but then Man evolved via mutation to have fused chromosomes? Once you've opened the door to evolution via mutation, what reason is...

    Ray Comfort Rebuttal

    Plus, practice makes perfect. The first couple of times I tried, it was a bit shaky, but it got easier. Ray, that's something atheistic scientists call "learning" -- try it some time.

    Ray Comfort Rebuttal

    You're absolutely right: he does need rebutting! ^_^ The problem is that it's actually hard to rebut completely inane piffle. Where do you even start? - "And thus we conclude that the square root of two is not a rational number, QED" - "But you're assuming that two is not asymptotically...

    Evidence For Evolution

    Amen, Vene! The evilutionist list of speciation events will convinced only the weak-minded. Anyone with any common sense can see that the lizards are still lizards, so they're still the same kind. Duh. Do you have any evidence of lizards turning into lemurs? Huh? Pwned! Unless you can...
