Debate between Dan Cardinale and Kent Hovind

[Ophiolite]

Rational people necessarily must dismiss gratuitously that which is given gratuitously.

I appreciate your support for my decision to ignore anti-evolution videos by Christian Fundamentalists. It's good to know I'm doing the right thing.

 

[Frank Robert]

That's right. Latin first declension, if memory serves. -a singular cell, ae - plural - multi-cell.

I didn't suggest Dan was hiding anything. He just did not give the source for his claim. Rational people necessarily must dismiss gratuitously that which is given gratuitously.

But it wasn't necessary for the debate. If you have a question about algae ask it here, someone might answer it.

Is algae our prime source of oxygen? or are trees?

I think it is algae but I can be wrong.

It's actually phytoplankton which is a mix of single celled algae & cyanobacteria.

I thought cyanobacteria became humans? and if humans exist, why are cyanobacteria still around?

 

[Bungle_Bear]

I thought cyanobacteria became humans?

Why would you think that?

and if humans exist, why are cyanobacteria still around?

Because they are well adapted to their environment.

It is dishonest to ask a question which you seen asked and seen answered multiple times, which you have probably asked yourself before and seen the answer. And please don't get cute and say you've never asked that question. You are well aware of the generic question - If A evolved from B, how come B is still around?

So please have the decency, the integrity, the honesty to quit that kind of sophomoric nonsense.

If you think that posting an irrelevant video instead of making an open and honest apology for your behaviour is acceptable, I'm here to tell you you are mistaken. I'm taking a rest from you for a while. It would be nice to find a different AV when I see you again.

Actually it was done as a JOKE.

Man, lighten up, for crying out loud.

I love it when Christians use minced oaths. It's almost as if they have no idea what they're saying

Oh, for pity's sake!

If English became Americans why are the English still around?

If "evolutionists" came from Creationists, why are Creationists still around?

Unevolved

 

[pitabread]

In evolutionary bookkeeping, "species" is the credit; and "kind" is the debit.

You've managed to get basic accounting and cladistics completely wrong in a single sentence.

Quite an accomplishment!

So, not even wrong? or maybe Fractally wrong?
