Anyone want to debate against Wikipedia on Evolution? I know you can edit it, but it changes back. It lists it's sources and what not
For that matter, does anyone want to debate against scientific evidence? |

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say here.
Are you trying to flood wikipedia, and assume that whatever survives must be true?
Is this not just like spray-paint vandalism on something you don't like?

That is why the creation movement still survives, people on whole are stupid and when a guy in a lab coat uses big words we assume he is right. I mean how well would one of the creation seminars go if every 30 seconds someone was correcting the speaker? |
