Which indicates you are not interested in learning new things.


That desperate huh?

Very poorly thought out accusation, as well as a great example of someone seeing what the want to see, as long ad it helps their cause.

There's not a single thing in that post that would suggest that. So early yet, and my day has already been made. lol

If you wish to correct this perception, why don't we start now? Name a few things you've learned with respect to science and/or biology specifically as a result of posting here.

I didn't say we had. You should revisit the definition of evolution and reconsider the time frame different over which different aspects of it operate. My statement stands. Yours decays.(That's not an analogy, it's a metaphor.)
if you refer to variation as eovlution then i will agree. but under this definition about 100% of creationists are also eovlutionists, since they also agree with variation over time.

You're desperate for something to blame on me, and the ridiculous request? not even going to consider it.

If you two think my settling with not knowing how God created the universe is any indication I don't want to learn, that's fine, but first off. lol. and secondly, I think most can see it's just another meaningless desperate stab. Time to move on to another excuse.

Oh, one thing I have learned, no one here, as of yet has a clue how to prove evolution, and they're downright afraid to even try at this point.

What is so ridiculous about listing a couple things you've learned about science on this forum?

You get extremely defensive when people accuse you of not understanding things or not learning anything. You could easily dispel that impression by just listing some things you've learned here. But instead you get even more defensive and only reinforce the impression you haven't learned anything.

You really can't blame others for the impression you've created here.

Oh, one thing I have learned, no one here, as of yet has a clue how to prove evolution, and they're downright afraid to even try at this point.

I've repeatedly pointed you to courses on the subject and each time you've refused to partake. Even this thread is a prime example of you not engaging with examples of evidence for evolution (per the OP's posts).

That's all on you.

Not defensive at all, I actually think it works in my favor you'd show you are so insecure and desperate to find something/anything to put on me at this point you'd stoop to such an embarrassing level. Like that odd ball question you recently posed, the one I refused to take part in, this is exactly the same as that. I'd feel silly/embarrassed playing such a childish game. But you call it what you wish, and goad me with whatever you got left, it ain't happening, Dude. ;)

And?

I'm not addressing that excuse again...done it several times.

And no, it's on you that you cannot prove it, but there you go again proving out what I keep telling you about desperately trying to put it on me any way you possibly can.

Now stop asking me to play silly little games you know I won't play, then blaming me when I don't, as well as pretending you've proven evolution by pointing me to links that have never worked before. Drop the confusion you are trying to add here and get back to either proving evolution, or not.

Why get angry at me? I personally would have had the good sense not to bring this thread up again. Yet it gets brought up, you all get what you always do, and then blame me.

I'm not kidding you all when I say what you're doing here is out of sheer desperation. I'm not just throwing useless nothings at you, or trying to upset you, but trying to make you see what is truly going on so you understand, and stop doing this to yourself.

But suit yourself.

I'm not angry at you. I'm just clearly identifying what you are doing.

You have been told, by many members, with references to websites and textbooks, that science does not prove things. Consequently your demand that we prove evolution is silly. It is a demand that, on the first occasion, can be made honestly. However, once the facts are presented to you and you continue to ask for proof you are behaving dishonestly: you are trolling. It's not attractive to see.

And now you're getting defensive about being called defensive. Classic. ^_^

What excuse? It's a basic fact. Any time anyone presents anything, you refuse to engage. People ask you questions, you refuse to engage.

The only thing you do here is issue your faux "challenge" and then completely stone wall anytime anyone tries to engage you on it.

Other than trolling, I really don't know why you are here. It's certainly not to convince anyone of anything.

Now stop asking me to play silly little games you know I won't play, then blaming me when I don't, as well as pretending you've proven evolution by pointing me to links that have never worked before.

For the record, I've never claimed to have "proven" anything. I've simply pointed you to educational resources where you can learn about biology and evolution, and you've continually refused to take advantage of those resources.

I wonder what God thinks of that behavior.

I've been told by many members evolution is a fact as well, don't believe that either.

You just aren't going to get it that was made up by people just like you all and for the exact same reason, you have no proof. I've seen some of those silly references, I actually went into it into in my first post here since the thread came back up, not to mention past arguments that show the excuse for exactly what it is.

The claim is laughable yet just because someone says it, is reason enough for you to believe it...not me.

That's what we do with science, prove things yet some have the very bizarre audacity to say it proves nothing.

Bizarre means to support a bizarre claim.

Why persistently prove my point you gave up on proving evolution and now put your effors into making excuses?

Trying to cut me down is still no defense. Try to remember what the thread is about, and get back on subject, otherwise there is not much sense in posting here.

Maybe a thread entitled "Excuses for not being able to prove evolution" and just leave this one for what it was intended?

It depends on what you mean by evolution. The process of evolution (mutation and selection, change in frequency in alleles of a population over time) is a fact. We observe it in action. If people call that a fact, they are correct. If they are referring to the scientific theory that all life evolved from common origins, calling it a fact is not appropriate.

Evolution as it is commonly known, but you have it right.

Yeah, Kenny, I know you don't believe it. Practically every Young Earth Creationist I've seen comment on it accepts (some reluctantly, many enthusiastically) microevolution. But good old Kenny, he's rock solid. Atheist biologists are wrong! Agnostic biologists are wrong! Christian biologists are wrong! Young Earth Creationist's view of biology is wrong! The whole dratted cabal of biologists and Christians is wrong. Kenny knows best!

I don't think so.

Who is "we"?

You don't even know what science is or how it works. You sure as heck aren't doing anything with it.

Universal common ancestry is a fact.
