Kylie, instead of asking me questions about cosmic evolution, just put down $1350.00 and take a college course on it yourself.

And hurry, before that amount gets tripled and someone's car gets rolled by mistake.

Surely there's a cheaper option? Oh, that's right - there's only one course. It's got a pretty poster, but it's still only a single, standalone course.

One last time, AV - cosmic evolution is not a field of academic study.

Give it up, AV.
Not hardly, chief.

Now you guys must know how Galileo felt.

And I know you blamed his dilemma on the Catholic church, but you can't blame this one on it, can you?

No. These days we leave it to Bible Christians to blame things on the Catholic Church.

Galileo was not trying to convince the world that a single course and a handful of seminars constitutes an entire field of study.

I'm not blaming anyone. I'm simply asking you to stop with the dishonesty.

Well ... you can go chew on your own on this one.

Starting with Harvard.

S'matter?

Do you find someone combining biological evolution into a miniature "theory of everything" anathema?

You can combine electric & magnetic principles into electromagnetism, but you can't combine biological evolution with planetary, cosmic, etc. into one?

The problem has been made clear multiple times. You are persistently claiming something to be true that is demonstrably not true. False analogies cannot help your case.

You don't understand, do you?

I'm asking YOU questions to make YOU think about it, hoping that you'll realise that your ideas about the whole issue are WRONG.

When YOU decide Harvard and the others are wrong, I might consider I am too.

But as long as YOU guys keep giving me PR propaganda to justify them, don't try and convince me they're right somehow and I'm wrong.

Already decided - they are not wrong, you are.

Who provided you with the PR propaganda? You are the one who found it. You are the one who is claiming it is something other than what it is. You are the one who is trying to convince others that you are right and they are wrong.

Really? is that what I think?

Is that what Harvard and those institutions that offer courses for cosmic evolution ($1350.00) think as well?

No. Harvard folks just happen to speak english and use english words.

How do you not understand the point I am making?

What is referred to as cosmic evolution - how stars and the universe change over time - is COMPLETELY unrelated to biological evolution.

What you are saying makes about as much sense as claiming that tennis, television and Lego are the same thing because they all come in sets.

That' like saying the rainbow is COMPLETELY unrelated to indigo light.

No, it's like saying croissants are completely unrelated to indigo light.

Stop trying to pretend that cosmic evolution and biological evolution are related. The mechanisms for both are completely different.
