The creationists here could learn a lot from it:
And do what with it? in your opinion?

What specifically should we do with that information?

Specifically, please.

You could try to learn more about the idea that you are arguing against.

Of course it is not without risks.

People who understand the theory of evolution tend to become evolutionists.

You don't need to worry, your ignorance is more than bulletproof.

Seeing the thread of Aron-Ra's that was necroed came along at a very good time. He just released a new video. The creationists here could learn a lot from it:

Not that idiot again....

Are they still teaching the fake embryo chart? It's a good video about evolutionary brainwashing. That's about it.

Do they teach words and artists pictures or real science? My child's science textbook teaches both available theories and exposes the lack of evolutionary assumptions. You can teach basic observable science and how genetics works without adding in imaginary evolution.

Did you ever figure out what punctuated equilibrium actually meant, or do you still think it's a magical evolution barrier?

What!? You would be lucky if you had half of the intelligence of Aron-Ra.

In that video he explains exactly what was wrong with that chart. Something no creationists has ever been able to do. By the way, it is not "fake".

Also I don't think that sort of language is allowed about members, lapsed or not.

Please do not let ED get away with avoiding the question again. Pretty please?

The answer to that is simple.

There is a limit to variation: time.

I'm sure even you will agree with that.

Do you still think it's punctuated equilibrium?

It's that and a lot of other things. For instance there is a limit to hereditary traits.

Does evolution happens fast, slow or what? You know, I don't know why I bother asking questions when evolutionists just come up with "anything can happen" magical formulas or just resort to saying "we don't know as yet".

Your not clear here. What do you mean. Do you mean to say that punctuated equilibrium means that there is a limit to hereditary traits? Or something else?

And do you care whether you actually make correct statements about punctuated equilibrium?

Does evolution happens fast, slow or what?
Depends on the circumstances. In a stable environment, slow to stasis. In a rapidly changing environment, fast.

You know, I don't know why I bother asking questions when evolutionists just come up with "anything can happen" magical formulas or just resort to saying "we don't know as yet".
Nice strawman here. Might it not be a good idea if you actually studied the theory of evolution before criticizing it. Instead of going around with half-baked ideas about it?

Can you explain, in your own words, what punctuated equilibria are?

Does evolution happens fast, slow or what?
Depends.

If you can't see why that is the answer, I suggest you learn more about the world. It's generally a complicated place.

The rate of evolution is NOT constant, expecially when it comes to evolution based on selective pressures. Yes, you can develop a Molecular Clock based on random mutations and genetic drift, but selection can increase the speed of the clock drastically.

You are one one saying "anything can happen" with I.D. and you don't know anything at all about the designer, the mechanism used by the designeer, what exactly was designed, for what reason, or when.

Could you just go ahead and define what you think it is?

Also, I find it very strange that, I think, the top ten list you posted actually mentions punctuated equilibrium and gives some indication of what it is. It's almost like you didn't read the thing before you posted it. But nah.

And while I have your attention, here are some other questions.

Do you still think there was only one ice age, and that it happened in the last 6,000 years? If so, for how long did it occur? I believe you also said that the reason God gave animals the ability to adapt was so that they could survive such things, but you do realize that, even if an ice age hit, it would be quite long before animals started adapting to it. So with that in mind, when was this ice age, how long did it last, and why, praytell, is there absolutely no mention of it any literature from the past 6,000 years - not to mention the complete lack of an interruption in the agricultural age, which would have to happen if the entire planet was covered in ice.

Also, do you still think that evolution would make language development impossible, and that, if we traveled to another planet, we would expect aliens to be speaking human languages if evolution was true? If so, why do you think this?

I know this seems a little roundabout, but I'm illustrating a point. Bear with me.

What is your evidence for this statement?

If you have no evidence then you have broken the 9th Commandment. There is no reason to spread falsehoods for Jesus. If he is real he does not need them. If he is not, then no amount of falsehoods will make him real.

Does evolution happens fast, slow or what?

Yes. Ask yourself this, "Does a river flow fast slow or what?" The answer is again "Yes". It depends upon the environment. A mountain stream can flow extremely quickly. The Mississippi river at the end of January, in New Orleans, flows extremely slowly.

You know, I don't know why I bother asking questions when evolutionists just come up with "anything can happen" magical formulas or just resort to saying "we don't know as yet".

There are no magic formulas. There may be formulas that you do not understand, but that is not our fault. Learning is open to everyone. And scientists are honest. There are questions that we do not know the answer to. Then you will hear "we don't know as yet". Isn't that much better than someone making up a story that turns out to be obviously false?
