Are you telling me I now have to just accept it when people claim evolution is a fact,
No, genius. I'm telling you exactly what I told you. Go start a thread asking for proof of evolution. Define what you mean by proof, define what you mean by evolution, and define what evidence you will accept.

In addition to ending your spamming you can also stop feebly attempting to put words in people's mouths.

OK, so let's start. We'll start with random variation. It has been observed; in fact it was the observation of randomly distributed heritable phenotypic variation in different species which gave Darwin the idea of evolution to begin with. Do you believe it occurs? Or do you need "proof" of it?

Am I supposed to be embarrassed to say give me a little more of an explanation of that and yes, of course I would need proof it occurs. That is unless the explanation is something I'm not expecting...I mean I don't want to speak to quickly here but odds are very good, yes I would.

Hey, everyone here already knows you can't prove evolution so there is no need to get mad at me, you all got yourselves into this one, not me, I only present a fair question.

And yes, you did say I was to stop spamming the boards, and stop spamming them with what? Just what I accused you of telling me I had to do. Stop playing games, you are taking up my time just having to answer to this when you said just what i said you said.

First, please relax, and start the thread yourselves if you'd like to, I probably won't do it now (if I even ever would have) simply because you demanded I do so.

Probably a good time to give you some me time...night.

Ain't no one buying that.

It's your question you want to spam the boards with, pretending you don't understand. You go do it.

Not at all. There is no embarrassment asking for an explanation of something you don't understand.

Do you know what a random distribution is, a "bell curve?"
Here is a short video which explains what I am talking about:

You can actually observe phenotypic variation for yourself. See how people vary in their adult height, for example. Or examine a field full of the same species of plant. If you look carefully you will see that the individuals are not identical, but differ slightly from each other in various ways.

Why waste my time, seriously? Haven't you been keeping up with what happens when I've asked that, what, a hundred/hundreds of times already?

After all those times... one would think you'ld get it...
But alas...... it's the same nonsense over and over again.

no its not but you are welcome to believe it.

It's not just me who believes it. Common descent forms the backbone of modern biology. And for very good reason. The massive amounts of evidence that conclusively show that it has happened.

You saying 'no it's not' without any attempt to support your claim does not outweigh a huge scientific consensus based upon huge numbers of independent lines of research

Interesting that even in the supposed debunking of Gentry's hypothesis, scientists can't agree. Someone else posted a paper showing that there were other explanations for the polonium halos being present and now this guy is stating that he doubts they are even radioactive decay... I bet if I read through the article, there would be lots of ambiguous language that supports the claim... as usual.


Even more interesting that even other creationists don't buy Gentry's gibberish.

But as you are so enamored of and impressed with Gentry's claims, how about you assess his actual papers and explain them to us in detail.

Let's focus on the astounding work that has been done in evolutionary science over the last few decades. Here's a few examples...


Shame that you ignored forum rules and Christian ethics and plagiarized that from this garbage:

https://narrowwayapologetics.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/debunking-evolution.pdf

A hint - whenever folks like you start providing citations and quotes, given the content of your previous posts, it is pretty obvious that YOU are not thee one that found those papers.

Regarding creation 'science' papers - there are some nice examples on this forum outlining the deception and/or incompetence of their authors.

A couple examples for you to ignore:

Tomkins latest shenanigans - vitellogenin

A Different Perspective on Chromosome 2 Fusion

Wherein I catch a professional YEC in a lie


Keep on truckin', bro!

Given the length of time and number of posts you have made on the subject, yes, you should be embarrassed that you still do not grasp the basic science involved.

As they say, saying it don't make it so, a much repeated line on these threads.

It's your question you want to spam the boards with, pretending you don't understand. You go do it.

By whatever you choose to refer to it...thank you for your blessing.

You know the rules, you explain it here, as in the past irt's way to easy to send someone on a wild good chase for bogus info.

If you don't like my rules, I don't care for some of yours either...end of story. We'll, except that some of my rules make sense. :)

What "rules?" We're talking about an objectively verifiable phenomenon, phenotypic variation.

He doesn't do links, watch videos, or....read really. He wants everything copy/pasted into a post.
