What about the differences between chimps and humans?

[AV1611VET]

Creationism doesn't use the scientific method.

That is correct.

 

[Astrid]

Creationism doesn't use the scientific method. They start with their interpretation of the bible, then cherry pick ostensible half-truths to bamboozle the flock with.

Never mind "scientific method".
Dishonest is dishonest whether it's
cheating at cards or starting with a
conclusion and faking evidence to
support it
I don't know how a sleazy fraud like
Hovind or Mackay can live with
himself.

Dishonest is dishonest whether it's cheating at cards or starting with a conclusion and faking evidence to support it.

Or rigging a vote?

Chimp vs Human! | Memory Test

Ayumu the chimpanzee has made headlines around the world for his ability to beat humans on memory tests, in both speed and accuracy. Does Ayumu's ability force us to reconsider our assumptions about human superiority to other primates?

Only if "us" wants to make the dean's list.

Let's see Ayumu win a chess game -- or checkers.

Then we'll talk.

Whatever Ayumu's abilities in chess or checkers are they do not take away from his memory abilities.

Evolution is full of surprises.

Meh, Hovind has been on the sleaze his whole life. His motivation is pure and simple greed and self agrandizement.

It is a spectacle how ALL the extra biblical
support for yec comes from con men.

Jealous, are you?

Is Kent Hovind a "wise man" like you? that is, a Homo sapiens?

Jealous of a sleaze ball?

Are you well, AV?

Like Aron Ra, et.al., when they visited the Ark Encounter? have you been there?

Yes, creationists are modern day PT Barnums.

 

[AV1611VET]

First we're labeled "wise," then we're labeled "sleazy."

And the "wise" is the official Linnaean moniker.

Do you see the glass (Kent Hovind) half-full (wise) or half-empty (sleazy)?

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes, creationists are modern day PT Barnums.

And a sucker shows up every minute, doesn't he? did you show up there?

Take a walk.

You need some fresh air.

They can tell themselves they're doing it for God, so the ends justify the means. It's as old as the hills.

Ifn they can admit to themselves that they are doing it.

Or rigging a vote?

Nobody rigged a vote. The loser of the last election just screamed that someone did and you seem to believe him. The concept of what a fact is would serve you well. Instead believing what your gut tells you is why you believe the clown who lost. Same reason you believe in just about anything you feel like and pretend it's noble. It's why the ignorant used to hunt witches a long time ago and the ignorant hunt communists and socialists today. The common thread is they're ignorant.

 

[AV1611VET]

Nobody rigged a vote.

Really?

QV my OP: The Pluto Issue

 

[Ophiolite]

Just looking at the increasingly agitated exchanges in this thread I can reasonably state, on topic, that one strong similarity between chimps and humans is their propensity to squabble and bicker. What we need are a couple of bonobos to smooth the waters.
