I voted yes because I would have no objection to riding one. I probably never will, as I find roller coasters to be boring. What is the point of them, anyways?

"Singularity" and "miracle" are not synonyms. I'm pretty sure you know that...

My favorites: Anime show: Cowboy Bebop Anime film: Ghost in the Shell (maybe, this one is tough) Manga: Berserk (for those with delicate sensibilities, you might find a lot of the material here extremely offensive)

Families that use nuclear weapons are wrong. ;)

You haven't actually shown that. You keep claiming you have, but then people here show you that you are wrong (often with your own evidence). Thus... the theory of evolution is not worthless (at least certainly not based on your claims).

I suggest you reread the page. It didn't say that.

I'm not having it both ways. I'm having it the way it makes sense. Please see the portion of your quote I have kindly bolded for you. I never asserted that at all. In fact, even in the animals that can change rapidly as a result of environmental change, the extent to which they can change is...

Yes. I do believe I addressed the difference between the general adaptations that occur over time, and the resulting adaptability of organisms. You seem to want adaptation to only be applicable in one sense, but it isn't.

I'm not straddling the fence. Well, in the sense of "getting to the point where there are animals complex enough to have coats required a whole series of random mutations", yes. I don't think that is the way you intended the question, what I think you intended was more like "Does a specific...

No. Regulating gene expression can change it. This has been pointed out/admitted before. The general coat color of a population is likely to be influenced by mutation in the related genes over time (note: these genes could be incredibly varied and not even necessarily the ones we would...

Require it? "Populational adaptation or death!" I still pick cake. Whether or not they "require it", it is still happening.

They have varying, conflicting ideas about creation. I'm pretty sure JohnR7 says he isn't a YEC. The nice thing about scientific theories is that when people find a flaw in them, they work out a new theory to better fit the evidence. When people find a flaw in their religious beliefs, they...

How? Population adaptation over time (evolution) directly effects the range of adaptability of an individual (this adaptability is conferred through regulating gene expression and through how proteins/lipids/etc react to changes in the environment). All this means is that you don't know what...

supersport, you have convinced me! The evidence you present is absolutely overwhelming and I just can't deny it any longer: sniffing glue and eating paint chips as a child does cause permanent brain damage.

This doesn't prove the Bible true. They didn't create the man-made island by saying 'be removed and cast into the sea' to a mountain. Even if you take it metaphorically, it doesn't prove the Bible is true (it has been demonstrated before in many threads that this type of argument of yours is...

Evolution isn't a fact. Evolution is a theory. Scientific evidence does not show that the Bible is true, scientific evidence supports SOME things that are in the Bible (like the existence of people in the middle east 6000 years ago), but it contradicts many things that are in the Bible too. A...

Hmmm. Well, the oldest verified MAN didn't make 121, according to The Guinness Book of World Records, but the oldest verified woman made it to 122! Also... most people never make it even close to that. God should have said something like "yet his days shall be modelled by a probability...

Well, I could have handled it in ninth grade. I happen to like 'Donnie Darko' (not the director's cut though), but I suppose that high-schoolers should be allowed to opt-out of an R-rated movie presented in class. I do have to wonder if the family would have been as upset with something like...

Animal, or life form? I'd put the closest form of life at bacteria. Being the simplest, it takes the least amount of genetic change to provide major functional difference to the entire organism. Of course, I think your question has a flaw with the bolded portion. I guess I'd say all animals...

From the article (emphasis added): 'But, says Sempa, “all hell broke loose” in 1994 when the news got out that a program based on sexual self-control, one rejecting the condom-plus-promiscuity approach of the international organizations, had succeeded so dramatically.' I doubt any...
