So not only do those people you linked seemingly not exist but you also refuse to link to any of their published work?

All evolution has done is to promote understanding of why the world is as it is with regards to its beasties. People who take that information and use it for their own ends (that's not actually possible either, evolution has no real practical applications) is nothing to do with what we're discussing, not to mention what you just typed was utterly absurd anway. Did you actually invoke Godwins law to bash evolution? How is National Socialism in anyway influenced by the knowledge that we didn't just *pop* into existence?

Creationists, yes. YECs, no. At least some of the people on that list accept an old earth.

The list is from a creationist website, and their stance is YEC. The people in that list are certianly all against the theory of evolution. Perhaps a minority are Old Earth Creationists however.

There are more then 10,000 YEC scientists (PhD level) in America alone, according to Answers in Genesis. I would say this figure is increasing, since more scientists are embracing ID and leaving Darwinism after seeing it's obvious errors.

Not to mention inspiring Communism as well.

Because everyone knows Nazis and Communists got on SO well together.... :doh:

Their creationist articles i mostly own in physical copy (magazine articles and leaflets). Theres no way i'm going to type out all of their printed work, that would take weeks or months to do.

You can simply search on the net, for the names i provided. Most are well known ID/YEC scientists.

Could you simply reference them? Most well-known magazines and such will have websites and archives. Unless I am to assume that most of the books are actually novels with no sources and the leaflets are just mindless spouting of one's own belief without supporting evidence?

Do ANY of them do scientific research into evolutionary biology, at all? Do any of them have published scientific papers with evidence contrary to evolution?

Ah, so not in actual peer-review literature then.
I had suspected as much.

Having a phD or BSc in a science and not believing in evolution isn't really a solid basis for denying evolution. If they were scientists active in the field of evolutionary biology with hard data maybe, then mayb. However, surprisingly there is none.

And what exactly have evolutionists ever contributed to anything?

All the theory of evolution has done is promote poor morality, promoted abortion, homosexuality (and other bad acts) and gave rise to bad ideologies such as Liberalism, Socialism, Communism and Nazism.

PLEASE DO NOT FEED THIS TROLL!!!!!!

Darwinism was concocted on political grounds. Research the Birmingham Lunar Society, a society of atheistic materialists including Darwin's family.

It was them who first came up with the theory of evolution, political and atheistic motivation.

Charles Lyell, was also politically motivated. His famous quote: ''to free the science from Moses'', shows the theory of evolution was only invented by those with an anti-biblical intent.

It's also no surprise that every evolutionist on this forum is political. I see 'Cabal' is a Liberal (Liberals in UK are anti-Christian, and fight for better rights for Homosexuals, and try to legalise cannabis).

The liberals are not 'anti-gay' in the Uk.

You are a paranoid, it would seem. Science is not actively trying to disprove God or create an anti-god world. It's simply seeking to understand the world. There may have been political connotations back them but science is far far different as...you know, we're hundreds of years in the future from such times?

Evolution was not 'invented' it was discovered and then matured as a scientific principle. There's no defining piece of proof for it but like most theories proposed by proper, peer reviewed literature it's got a huge amount of evidence supporting it.

All you have are conspiracy theories about how evolution is a tool to destroy society. Come back when you want to discuss evolution instead of crackpot ideas of how naughty liberals are going to smother us to death in our sleep with a copy of the Origin of Species.

Somewhat irrelevant, seeing as it was Charles Darwin's theory, which he formulated when he was a Christian.

It was them who first came up with the theory of evolution, political and atheistic motivation.

Citation needed.

Charles Lyell, was also politically motivated. His famous quote: ''to free the science from Moses'', shows the theory of evolution was only invented by those with an anti-biblical intent.

Or to separate science (rightfully) from religion, seeing as science does not address religion?

I'm also struggling to think of how Moses and science were intertwined pre-Lyell.

It's also no surprise that every evolutionist on this forum is political.

*smacks gob*

People who have an interest in science also happen to have an interest in other things, like politics?

Stop all the clocks!

:doh:

I see 'Cabal' is a Liberal (Liberals in UK are anti-Christian, and fight for better rights for Homosexuals, and try to legalise cannabis).

And this has....what, exactly, to do with the scientific veracity of evolution?

As is the case with pretty much everything else you've posted on the matter, naff-all.

Now start posting science or stop trolling.

Why are we talking about politics on the science forum? I don't see the relevance. Why should we care what Darwin thought about race relations or whatever?

The theory of evolution was only devised for political reasons (it's modern believers only believe in it for political reasons, not because of the scientific evidence).

What part of the forum could we debate this issue?

Oh boy, Stormfront, yes, that well-known evolutionary biological research group.

Can I start quoting Westboro Baptist Church now to "demonstrate" the case that Christianity is wrong?

That has absolutely nothing to do with the validity of the theory today.

(it's modern believers only believe in it for political reasons, not because of the scientific evidence).

Your totally right. I don't actually believe any of that stuff I read and write papers on and study. Its all just a cover because I'm desperate to destroy society as we know it.

The politics one.

I've written the article, exposing the true origins of Darwinism. So far no one could refute it.

It was all political based. By the way, Marx wrote to Darwin numerous times, and even dedicated his work Das Kapital to Darwin. You can find his name in the preface to the book.

This is hilarious.

We're discussing the theory of evolution, not the history of the theory of evolution.
Even if it had been originally developed to back up the Liberal 'agenda' as you say' it's certainly not a tool of socialism today. Not that it ever was, I'm just indulging your conspiracy theories a little :)

I would expect a bunch of white supremacists to know as much about evolution as you do.

That's nice. Notice how the Communist Manifesto was published 11 years BEFORE origin?

Anyone who believes in the theory now, however is politically motivated.

Uh, no.

My political views have changed quite a bit over the last few years of my life. My acceptance of contemporary science, however, has not.

Every evolutionist on this forum i have encountered isn't 'normal'.

Oh really, lol, and what's "normal" according to you? Someone who believes the earth is flat?

Newsflash, child, there is NO SUCH THING AS "normal"!
