What support does he have for any of this? Where was he 6 million years ago? It's all just conjecture on his part.

I have the Bible, and it says that God created man on the 6th day. Genesis 1:26. I can have a chart and put it up on the wall and speak with a snooty accent and make my case with the same level of proof as he does.

The Bible was written 300 years after the death of Jesus. So where were you when Moses left Egypt? Where were you when Noah built his Ark? A book written centuries after the supposed incident took place is hardly reliable proof!

I call double standards on this one!

Conjecture? No. Scientific consensus? Yes.

Perhaps you should hit up a natural history museum and see the fossils for yourself. Or alternatively you could take some university level genetics courses and analyse the sequenced genomes to clearly see that we are directly related to chimpanzees through said common ancestor.

I have the Bible, and it says that God created man on the 6th day. Genesis 1:26. I can have a chart and put it up on the wall and speak with a snooty accent and make my case with the same level of proof as he does.

And even for a second should I think that the bible is true? I await your circular argument.

Evolution gets tested all the time. Saying that it can't be tested is one thing. But why don't you PROVE that it can't be tested?


Actually creatards claim that creationism is scientifically proven all the time. Ever heard of Kent Hovind or Ken Ham?

But Blayz, personally attacking me is not going to help your cause at all dear.

Stating the truth is not a personal attack. And it is your cause that needs all the help it can get. Our "cause" does not need help. Like not even a little bit.

If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys and why aren't they transforming into humans?

If humans are made from dirt, why are there still dirt and why aren't they transforming into humans?


I'm calling Poe on this one. No living human being is that stupid.

Every field of science supports this. Why would you so flippantly disregard 150 years of science?

This seems pretty "snooty" in my estimation.

It's "dust of the earth" -- and if it's supposed to still be around, why have I never seen you guys mention it?

It takes a computer to correlate the data -- computers programmed by scientists loyal to specific paradigms.

One of my favorites:

Interesting tangent. I wonder how many creationists can code.

And yes, I call a baby in the womb a baby, at least on occasion.

You mean code and keep their jobs?

I would say creationists who refuse to separate their beliefs from their work, don't work long.

That way, people can ask what contributions creationism make to society.

Nope, just code.

You say alot of things unsupported by any evidence, we will just add this to the list.

Also an interesting question.

You know that since no scientist has ever taken the theory and put it through the scientific method, it cannot categorically be declared a scientific truth.

Here is a Pub Med search I just did on "evolution" : Results: 1 to 20 of 284917 evolution - PubMed result Yes, that's right... 284,917 peer reviewed papers on evolution. These papers show how researchers use the scientific method to test the theory of evolution. How many of these papers on evolution have you read? I will guess NONE. Spreading falsehoods is a Sin. Shame on you.

LOL! Good one, Ginger. You've got a bunch of 'em fooled that you're for real.
