Evolution is a Lie

[Split Rock]

For anyone who doesn't believe in microevolution, I challenge them to take an old bottle of Roundup and come out and spray my weeds.

For anyone who believes in macroevolution, I challenge them to find the oldest man or woman on earth and ask them if they've seen any strange animals around lately.

Ever watch "Monster Quest" on the History channel?

No -- I'm really not into tractor pulls.

And most of these people probably thought Newtonian model of gravity was true as well.

Well, it is true... to a good approximation under specific conditions.

"Truth" is a tricky concept when it comes to science.

I was talking to Tinker Grey the other about just that. I would like to have an actual face to face discussion with AV and see how he tries to evade points and squirm from having to make logical statements.

If I were to meet him face to face, I'd much rather talk about video games or something over a steaming cup of hot chocolate. In real life, I prefer being nice and friendly with people.

Despite all appearances

LOL! I'm not sure if that was a joke or not.... Monster Quest is about strange creatures that people have reported seeing. This "investigative team" goes into the area and looks for them. It's really only semi-scientific, but it can still be interesting.

Ya -- I was just kidding.

But for the record, I have not watched Monster Quest.

I don't care for those shows where an investigative team goes into an area, and you sit there for an hour (or however long), while the excitement (tension?) slowly mounts -- then, in the end, the best they have is some fuzzy picture of something, or a clear picture of a 'giant animal', but there's nothing of scale in the picture to compare it to; and they conclude that the whole thing was "inconclusive".

That gets aggravating after awhile.

I agree. When I was a kid I used to always watch those UFO "documentaries" because I was really into the idea of aliens. It was always a let down at the end of every episode.

Now I just watch X Files instead

One thing that spooks the tar out of me is reports of real sightings of what are called Men in Black.

And I don't mean those movies, either.

I mean the real-deal, the real McCoy.

Yeah when I was into the UFO stuff I remember reading about Men in Black. I wouldn't be too worried unless you happen to stumble across an EBE or are Agent Mulder.

Mulder's already been at my door, asking questions about embedded age.

Do you think Macro evolution happens within just a few generations?

 

[Naraoia]

Do you think Macro evolution happens within just a few generations?

To be fair, that depends on how you define it. Probably not by AV's definition, though.

 

[TerranceL]

And I disagree with how you guys assume that being a creationist is a 'piece of cake' that anyone can handle.

If truthers and birthers can get along with being wrong all the time I don't see why being a creationist would be any more difficult.

True.

 

[AV1611VET]

No, but shouldn't we be on the emergent end of something?

Really?

So if I said on this site that 1 + 5 = 7; but on another that 1 + 5 = 9, that's a piece of cake to you?

 

[Skaloop]

No, but shouldn't we be on the emergent end of something?

That assumes an end. And as far as evolution goes, the only real end is extinction.

 

[Nathan Poe]

No, but shouldn't we be on the emergent end of something?

Not at all -- there's no end to the process, so there's nothing to emerge from.

 

[AV1611VET]

I don't think you understood my question, but nevermind.

 

[AV1611VET]

Don't new genera emerge as time goes on?

In fact, don't they come and go?

Shouldn't something new come along in our time, on its way to extinction in about a million years?

What are they called? incipients or something?

 

[Skaloop]

I don't think you understood my question, but nevermind.

Perhaps I didn't. Please clarify. Because I've looked back at your question, and I honestly cannot figure out any real alternate meaning. If I've misread you, I'd like to correct that so I can give a more appropriate response.
