Evolutionist Caught Lying for Their Religion and has Evolution Been Demonstrated

[The Barbarian]

Nonsense. Reduced or degenerate has always been part of the definition.

Right. In fact, it was mentioned by Darwin in The Origin of Species. He referred to vestigial organs as "rudimentary", and pointed out that such organs, while having lost their original function, often gain a new one over time.

An organ serving for two purposes, may become rudimentary or utterly aborted for one, even the more important purpose, and remain perfectly efficient for the other.... [A]n organ may become rudimentary for its proper purpose, and be used for a distinct object.
Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

For example, the human appendix is no longer used as a means of fermenting plant material, but is a place where useful intestinal bacteria can survive during intestinal infections.

Penguin wings are vestigial because they are useless for flight, but are well adapted to swimming.

For such garbage, seems pretty important to you.

Yeah - because the spam-troll pro-confederacy fake news dude who I caught plagiarizing and doctoring quotes is promising to post 2 more of these.

Looks like it hit a nerve with a few people

Yes - dishonesty hits nerves. That is why I had you on ignore for so long. I am remembering now why I did.

I didn't recall the thread but glad you brought it up. Just the video in the OP, seems to me, is anything but garbage. Makes perfect sense in a few ways.

As I would expect from you.

I'll have to read on to see if anyone could prove the videos author wrong.

Cool, another 'videos are TROOOF!' creationist.

So - you must be OK with dishonesty for the cause, too, I see.

Well, there you go. As I said, you sold out faith for reasoning. Exactly what Eve did in the Garden of Eden and it brought fourth a monstrosity. I prefer to take God on His Word.

'Sold out your faith for reasoning'.

Wow.

I have to applaud SFS. His response to this was far more measured and patient than mine would've ever been.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Tolkien announced that he going to be spam-trolling us soon with 2 more of these garbage threads.

I suggest that rather than waste time trying to get him to support any of his claims, we just just have a contest to find the most out-of-context or worst-doctored quote.

Ooh, another drive-by Gish-gallop!

If it's a repeat of the first one I suggest just ignoring altogether. If he wants a discussion, he can make an argument or present an opinion.
