I dare any creationist to challenge my infallible logic, the logic which I worship at my Evolution shrine every morning :bow: all hail science and logic

If we descended from something before apes, there should be an existing trail of species from then till now. Certainly man is not filling every niche.

They're called fossils, but I guess you have never heard of fossils, because I firmly believe that all creationists that aren't less than 6 years old are middle school dropouts that have never been to a museum. This reflects in how I treat everyone that disagrees with me as if they are stupid and I am smart. Even though I am actually the stupid one, so I have to pretend to know what niche means and fail.

Obviously, humans are smart enough to fill whatever niche we want, and as many as we want. You clearly don't understand how a niche works, and I don't have the patience to even try to explain it. You need a minimum of 4 years of college education before you'll know enough to debate with me.

is, and will label out all the flaws:

1. you can see evolution, just look at dogs and wolves. Dogs came from wolves yet are no longer wolves, thus Evolution is right.
2. Charles Darwin started out religious, and became non-religious as he observed the world and realized his beliefs were garbage, duh. Anyone that truly understands Evolution is an atheist.
3. Disease and death exist in this world, so it isn't perfectly created.


YIKES! Not a straw man position!
OP - Fail.

It seems about time for me to go an a rant about how much I hate religion. Because why would I waste my infinitely valuable time debating creationists if I didn't hold a personal grudge against the Christian god? Oh, don't get me wrong, I hate other gods too, but I'll only give details about how much I hate the Christian one specifically, and how I think legislation should limit Christians to being on house arrest 24/7 so they can't pollute our glorious secular society.

Satan's cool though, hail Satan. After all, I, like every other atheist, am ironically also a Satanist.

I have yet to meet an Atheist who does not believe in Freedom and Liberty—concepts that evolved from the Roman goddess Libertas and are observed nowhere in the natural world. I have yet to meet an atheist who does not practice religious rites and rituals on a daily basis.

Like the goddess Libertas, Atheism does not exist.

actually a wolf and a dog are from the same family and can interbreed. so they are the same "kind" and therefore they doesnt prove evolution at all.

Oh Yeah?! I'm a senior in a STEM field, so I bet you aren't more educated than me.
Becasue I think I am more educated, then my answers are naturally more correct than you are. That's why I'm always the winner.
