I asked what is your basis for the claim, it's up to you to justify it, or retract it.
Post some evidence or my claim is valid.
I just popped in to check things out, but I must say, that is a new one.Please post some evidence that there isn't a statue of Elvis Presley on Pluto, or there is one.
I just popped in to check things out, but I must say, that is a new one.You want proof of that?
Yea I once told someone using their argument, I could argue the moon is made of green cheese. Someone actually demanded I do so, I was like come on guys, that was obviously hyperbole.I made this one up before I ever heard of the teapot orbiting the sun. I prefer my one
That's curious - I don't see how someone can pass 3 college courses on evolution and not know the evidence for it, or what the theory actually says...I had 3 college courses that taught evolution as fact. I passed them all.

The were not on evolution but evolution was a topic for discussion and probably included some test questions. I was not a Christian at that time. I cared nothing about evolution or the Bible. I just parroted what was taught and that was enough/
Can you tell us what those courses were called, and which college(s) you took them at?

Pretty sure that's not how this works.
Ah, OK - 68 years ago, that might explain it; you seem to have forgotten what they taught you.One was Zoology, one was Archaeology and I don't temembe4r the third. That was 68 years ago.
University of North Carolina
Go check your course notes.You say there is evidence for evolution, how about some examples . Why not start with their basic doctrine---natural selection.
IOW you have none.
You would if you could but you can't.
Nice way to avoid providing the evidence you think you have.
Then present some. Without the supporting evidence, it is just rhetoric.

Apparantly you didn't get the joke.
The gif is from an interview with dawkins concerning an interview he did with some woman of some creationist organization.
Indeed. Couldn't remember the name.Was that Wendy Wright?
-_- but the post you were responding to wasn't about this topic. I don't interrupt conversations with material from previous ones unless said material contradicts claims currently being made. Which is not the case here.Yes you did and so have all the other evos trying to defend evolution.
-_- by that logic, humans and chimpanzees are the same species. How do you not realize that the lowest taxonomy category shared by all lizards is broader than the one humans share with chimps? How can you even justify this view when the capacity to reproduce to produce fertile offspring is such a huge component in species labels in animals?That is no different than 2 breeds of dogs mating. All lizards are varieties of the same species---lizard
So sayeth the guy that thinks my bearded dragon is the same species as a Komodo dragon. Even the people that try to categorize animals as "kinds" generally don't try to say that "kinds" means species or assert that all lizards are the same species.IOW you have no real evidence for what you are saying. I already knew that.
-_- to assume that bacteria would have to become "not bacteria" to demonstrate evolution is more outrageous than viewing a lineage of dogs giving rise to a 6 legged herbivore as "not evolution". That's a kingdom level classification transition, of which there have been less than 10 in the over 3.5 billion years life has existed on this planet. For that to even occur would likely demand the annihilation of all members of at least one of the already existing kingdoms just so that enough niches are opened up.When some bacteria become something other than a bacteria, get back to me.
Lol, what? All I said is that the only thing mutations can't feasibly do is make reproductively incompatible species become compatible. The reason isn't because one can't determine the changes necessary to accomplish it, but rather that the mutations required for it to occur are extremely numerous, specific, and have no selective pressures for them. There are tons of mutations that can result in extra limbs, muscles, the formation of eyes, etc. But in order for two incompatible lineages to re-merge, both populations would have to experience extraordinarily similar mutations in conjunction with mutations that eliminate factors that made them incompatible to begin with, such as differences in chromosome number.Sounds like you need to abandon mutations as a mechanism for evolution. Now you have nothing left to base your defense on.
