And again, there you go. Rational discourse has been provided to you, over and over, but you ignore it. That's great that you feel you're insulted, but you DO look like a fool, since you do not know what you're talking about. And there are still no ad hominems, and you ignored the part where I...

Seriously, I am in NO WAY a debator, but I get incredibly tired of people mislabeling ad hominems. That was not an ad hominem. If he had said, "Your information is wrong because you are a Christian and can't possibly be correct," that would be an ad hominem. TheBear saying that you are...

And also not to mention, that tapeworms are a class, not a species. Under class you still have order, family, genus, and species, all under the class Cestoda, or tapeworms. So which is it, evolution within a class or evolution within a species? Or do we have the nebulous "kind" here?

I used this book and it absolutely doesn't say any of what you said above. It gives a very clear explanation of evolution and natural selection, about 1/3 of the entire book covers it.

Thanks :) I was going to do the difficult thing of Googling part of the definition and seeing what popped up, but then I just noticed the link. ;) Plus I hate it when people are asked to define evolution and they copy and paste from a dictionary. They're not being asked to copy from a...

Since his definition includes a link to another word, and links to answers.com, I think that's where he got it. Answers.com does include the biological definition. http://www.answers.com/evolution

Much, much better! Thanks for getting Firefox to work again :D

Woohoo! I just read this on CNN and I'm thrilled! http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/12/20/intelligent.design.ap/index.html "But, he wrote, 'our conclusion today is that it is unconstitutional to teach ID as an alternative to evolution in a public school science classroom.'"

This has nothing to do with beliefs, religions, etc - you need to have a certain number of credits to get into the school, and the school doesn't count their non-scientific biology classes as credit for science. It doesn't matter if they pass an entrance exam or not, that is the requirement for...

I'm not sure what you mean by arguing tactics, here. The so called "lingo" is basic scientific terms. (I'm an engineer as well.) You can ask if you need clarification on anything, people will be happy to answer. Which words do you need clarified? If you ask a specific question, you'll get a...

Also, please stop saying this - if you notice the faith icons, there are many, many Christians in here who are scientists and accept evolution. Being Christian doesn't mean you automatically have to accept that the world is young and that evolution doesn't occur. (edit: this is not meant as an...

Nah, as most things on the internet these days, they started from an offshoot of SA :P (I'm not going to mention the exact site, as I believe there are many NWS things on it) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_RLY

I lurk mostly, but when I googled that first quote, the second link I come up with? Bevets.com. Yes, really.

Ohhhhh, it's THIS guy: "Larry Caldwell, a pro-Intelligent Design activist and attorney, has been active in bringing litigation in causes favoring the intelligent design movement. In the spring of 2005 he sued the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), and its director, Eugenie Scott...

So I guess you're protected :D

That's what I had in my post before I edited. :P

Yeah, that about sums it up. SA? Edited to sound less stupid.

Ah, but I prefer a fine wine OR a fine beer - does that make my taste even MORE evolved than yours? :P (this thread makes me want Guinness, but only on tap)
