I can say the same thing about the bullshit you offered.

Burden of proof lies with the ones making the claim for evolution. So far every claim has been shot down. The biggest problem you face is there is no fossil record. There should be literally millions of transitional fossils.

Even dating methods have been proven to be flawed.
If, as the Flat-Earthers claim, there is no fosill record, how do the Flat-Earthers account for the fosill record that actually does exist?.

Is the existing fosill record a part of the vast, global conspiracy that Flat-Earthers are convinced exists and which goals are to further evilution?

Or, is it a reality that the Flat-Earthers will choose to believe in fantasies, vast conspiracies and will live in denial of the relevant truths?

World famous scientist, G. G. Simpson stated, "It is inherent in any definition of science that statements that cannot be checked by observation are not about anything...or at the very best, they are not science."

Science means "to know" and "systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, etc." It is based on observation and experimentation. Evolutionists don't "know" anything about man's origins. They guess, suppose, etc. but they don't "know." Honest scientists have become weary and embarrassed at the confusing, convoluted and contradictory claptrap that often passes as science. They have watched their colleagues rushing to protect Darwin rather than putting him to rigorous tests.

World famous scientist, G. G. Simpson stated, "It is inherent in any definition of science that statements that cannot be checked by observation are not about anything...or at the very best, they are not science."

Dr. David Kitts, professor of geology at the University of Oklahoma said, "Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and paleontology does not provide them...." And Lord Zuckerman admitted there are no "fossil traces" of transformation from an ape-like creature to man! Even Stephen J. Gould of Harvard admitted, "The fossil record with its abrupt transitions offers no support for gradual change." I assume that all college professors know that Darwin admitted the same fact. (I also assume they know that Darwin was not trained as a scientist but for the ministry, so evolutionists are worshipping at the feet of an apostate preacher!)

Famous fossil expert, Niles Eldredge confessed, "...geologists have found rock layers of all divisions of the last 500 million years and no transitional forms were contained in them." Dr. Eldredge further said, "...no one has yet found any evidence of such transitional creatures."

Concerning transitional fossils, world famous paleontologist Colin Patterson admitted that "there is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight argument." Not one.

I'm afraid this lying, "quote-mining" fundie is nothing more than a clone of the other two lying, "quote-mining" fundies who cut and paste from creationist websites.

Don't the fundies have any sense of honor or integrity?

Fact: Evolution violates the 2nd law of Thermodynamics
bullshit!

Now let's look at the application of the Second Law of Thermodynamics to the theory of evolution. The traditional creationist argument is that the evolution of lower life-forms to higher life-forms is not possible because it involves an increase in complexity, which they say amounts to a decrease in entropy. This argument is fundamentally flawed in two different ways.

First, we have no evidence that the complex life-form is actually less entropic than the simple life-form. Entropy is a measure of statistical disorder, not simplicity vs. complexity of design. There is no reason that I am aware of to believe that a man is less "disordered," on a molecular level, than an equivalently-sized chimpanzee, for example. That might be the case, but if so, it has nothing to do with the complexity of our design. Consider the fact that, all else being equal (most notably mass and temperature), crystalline solids have lower entropy than either men or chimpanzees, and yet clearly their design is much more simple and repetitive, not more complex.

Second, even if higher life-forms do have lower entropy than lower life-forms, the Second Law does not say that they therefore can't evolve. The burning up of the sun, with its corresponding energy transfer to the earth, along with other processes such as the geothermal activities within the earth itself, increase the entropy of the universe at a far higher rate than evolution could possibly decrease it. There are many processes on earth that result in a local entropy decrease, but this is permissible by the Second Law, since they are receiving energy from the sun. The entropy of the universe as a whole is still increasing.

Beyond these two fundamental flaws in the argument, there is a reason that we can be absolutely sure that evolution does not violate the Second Law. To see this, we must understand that entropy is an example of what is known as an "extensive property." That means the entropy of an entire system is just the addition of the entropy of all of its parts. So, for example, the entropy of a collection of fifty identical 100-pound loads of organic material is fifty times the entropy a single 100-pound load of organic material. The entropy of a population of fifty 100-pound monkeys is fifty times the entropy of a single 100-pound monkey. And the entropy of a population of fifty 100-pound humans is fifty times the entropy of a single 100-pound human.

Now let's assume (for the sake of argument) that the entropy of a monkey is less than the entropy of a 100-pound load of organic material, and the entropy of a human is least of all. For this example, we'll arbitrarily assign an entropy of 1 unit to each human, 2 to each monkey, and 3 to each load of organic material. So, for the collections of 50 of each item we have an overall entropy of 1×50 + 2×50 + 3×50, which is 300.

Now what happens when a new human is born and grows up? The population of humans grows from 50 to 51, but where does the matter (which must be conserved) for the new human come from? It has to come from the surrounding environment. We can model this by saying that the collection of organic material decreases from 50 loads to 49. So if we again add up the overall entropy (of the items we're discussing, not of the whole universe) we find it decreases by 2 to 298.

But here is the key concept. This change in entropy is completely independent of whether the new human was born to human parents or to monkey parents. It does not depend on whether or not there was already an initial presence of humans. We can start with zero humans and fifty monkeys, and postulate a sudden and bizarre evolution by assuming a human born to a pair of monkeys, and the entropy decrease is still 2, exactly the same amount of decrease as when the human baby is born to human parents.

Obviously, the birth of a human baby to human parents happens all the time and thus cannot be a violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Therefore, it would not violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics if the human baby were born to monkey parents either. The same argument can be made for any evolutionary step, no matter how large or small.

So the bottom line is, the Second Law of Thermodynamics does not argue against the theory of evolution. Evolution doesn't violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics any more than it violates Newton's Law of Gravity. That doesn't necessarily mean evolution is true, but we shouldn't make a false claim that it violates the laws of physics, unless we want to be intellectually dishonest.

Evolution and the Second Law of Thermodynamics


Fact: There is an unexplained gap in the fossil record.
bullshit! misnomer.
the "gap" in the fossil record is not a real "gap" but a perceived one.
because 1. Fossilization is an extremely rare event .
2. paleontology and archeology are relatively new (150 years) sciences and the've only explored about 1/10 or the areas the contain fossils.

Fact: Evolution has never been observed
more bullshit!

Observing Evolution - How Evolution Has Been Observed
Natural Selection, Macroevolution, and Ring Species
By Austin Cline, About.com Guide
The most basic direct evidence of evolution is our direct observation of evolution occurring. This is also the most basic lie which creationists tell about evolution because they constantly claim that evolution has never been observed when, in fact, it's been observed both in the lab and the field repeatedly. Creationists count on this lie getting traction because they lie about what evolution is and repeat the lies often enough that they are believed through sheer, dishonest repetition.

Observed Natural Selection
What's more, the observed instances of evolution occur in the context of natural selection, which is the basic explanation for evolutionary changes in the theory of evolution. The environment can be seen to exert a "force" on a population such that certain individuals are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to future generations. There are numerous examples of this in the literature, none of which creationists read.

The fact that natural selection works is important since we can be sure that there have been environmental changes in the past. Given this fact, we would expect organisms to evolve to fit their environments. (Note: It is widely accepted that natural selection is not the only process at work in evolution. Neutral evolution also plays a role. There is some disagreement as to how much each process contributes to evolution over all; however, natural selection is the only proposed adaptive process.)

Ring Species & Evolution
There is a specific type of species that bears some discussion: ring species. Imagine a straight line across some significant sized geographical region. There are two distinct but closely related species at either end, say point A and point B. These species do not typically interbreed, but there is a continuum of organisms along the line that stretches between them. These organisms are such that the closer you are to point A the more like the species at point A the organisms on the line are, and the closer you are to point B the more like the species at point B the organisms are.

Now, imagine bending this line such that the two endpoints are in the same location and a "ring" is formed. This is the basic description of a ring species. You have two nonbreeding and distinct species living in the same area and strung out over some area a succession of creatures such that, at the "farthest" point on the ring, the creatures are largely hybrids of the two distinct species at the starting points. This is significant because it shows that intra-species differences can be large enough to produce an interspecies difference. Differences between species are therefore the same kind (though not in degree) as the differences between individuals and population within a species.

Nature only appears to be divided up into discrete types at any one time and place. If you look at the biosphere as whole throughout time, the "barriers" between species appears much more fluid. Ring species are an example of this reality. Given our understanding of the genetic mechanisms of life, it is reasonable to think that this fluidity extends beyond the species level to higher order taxonomic differences between species.

Macroevolution vs. Microevolution
As with the basic genetic mechanisms, creationists will argue that there is a magic line across which evolution may not move. This is why creationists will define macroevolution differently than evolutionists. Since speciation has been observed, macroevolution has been observed according to the evolutionist; but to a creationist, macroevolution is a change in kind. Even creationists generally won't argue that natural selection doesn't take place. They just say that the changes that can take place are limited to changes within the organism's kind.

Again, based on our understanding of genetics it is reasonable to think that it is possible for large-scale changes to occur, and that there are no rational reasons or evidence to support the idea that they can't occur. Creationists act as if species have some hard-coded distinctiveness that separates them from one another.

The idea of species is not completely arbitrary: for example, in sexual animals lack of reproduction is a real "barrier." Unfortunately, the idea that living organisms are divided in some magical way which makes them distinct from one another just isn't supported by the evidence. Ring species demonstrate this on a small scale. Genetics suggests no reason it should not be true on a large scale.

To say that species can not change beyond some "kind" boundary is to create a totally arbitrary dividing line that has no biological or scientific basis — that's why creationists who try to make arguments about "kinds" can't provide a consistent, coherent, useful definition of what a "kind" is. The differences immediately "below" the boundary will be the same as the differences immediately "above" the boundary. There is no rational justification for drawing any such line.

The important thing to know is that evolution has actually been seen and documented and that the observed instances support the idea of natural selection. It is logical and reasonable to conclude that in the absence of something to prevent it, a succession of speciation events would eventually lead to a divergence where descendant organisms would be classified in different genera, families, orders, etc.



Observing Evolution - How Evolution Has Been Observed

More cut and paste.


If you ever sit down and take the time to ponder over some of the teachings of the evolutionists, you'll then realize the foolishness of the whole theory of evolution. For example: The evolutionists teach that a giraffe has a long neck because it "evolved" over millions of years as a result of the animal trying to reach the food high up in the trees with it's mouth. Evolutionists teach that the animal's neck grew as a means of survival. The absurdity of such bizarre conclusions is obvious to the thinking individual. If the animal had a short neck to begin with, then what did it eat for millions of years? Obviously it would have had to eat food from off the ground.

Furthermore, if the "natural selection" hypothesis held by the evolutionists is true, then why don't horses and zebras have long necks like the giraffe today? Why would only the giraffe have had a need to reach the trees for food? This question alone nullifies the entire idea of the survival of the fittest. What the evolutionists would lead us to believe just doesn't make sense, not common sense or scientific sense. Again, there is nothing scientific about evolution.
not the completly debunked giraffe shit again....
:lol::lol::lol::lol:
must be scraping the bottom of the creationist bogus rationalizing barrel...:lol::lol:

No you are just to ignorant to reason on the evidence. Hmm a sponge connected to the brain that holds enough blood to prevent the giraffe from passing out when he quickly raises his head and a valve to prevent all the blood rushing to his head and blowing his brains out. Oh and don't forget just the right size heart to pump that blood up that neck.

You live in fanatasy land.

An Account of a Debate with a Creationist
 
It is very difficult to ignore the evolutionary progress of life on Earth. Nobody can fully explain how the universe began, but one thing is certain, the Earth is billions of years old and we didn't just appear out of nowhere.

Sorry but your beliefs are suggesting, poof, life began from nothing. To think daws thanked you for this post.
 
yeah that is right.. as you've presented no evidence no extrapolation of evidence no, fact no extrapolation of fact.
what you have presented is subjective, erroneous, specious, fantasy.

so once you get those little inconveniences out of the way and present some real evidence
then we can then deny it...

I can say the same thing about the bullshit you offered.

actually no you can't
the burden of proof issue was settled long ago.
evolution is not a claim it's fact.
there are no shoulds in science shit either happens or it does not either there's evidence or there's not .
in the case of transitional fossils there are just as many as needed to prove evolution correct.
more are being found all the time .

but you keep on rationalizing !

Daws your brain has been taken over.
 
not the completly debunked giraffe shit again....

Yes and it still puts the brakes on your natural selection argument.
false assumption... if it did why is it nowere to be found other than the places you expect to find fantasy?

I am still waiting for a viable answer from you why didn't the superior traits of survival didn't get passed on through natural selection to the human genepool ?was the trade off human abilities that make us superior and put us at the top of the food chain?

Are you confused about your own arguments for gods?

As fundies would present it, their gods were poofed into existence from an obvious hierarchy of gods who later poofed into existence humanity.

Such silliness.

Some did. With this having been explained to you on numerous occasions, how many more times do you need it explained?

Is it a learning disability or your religious fundamentalism (or both) that causes you to forget what you have been told repeatedly?
 
If we were created by ID, why is this thread so dumb? :dunno:

We are using our intellectual freedom, given by God, to work through the learning curve, where those with strong knowledge in one area share with others who are lacking, and VICE VERSA: As we learn that just because someone is weak in one area, doesn't mean that they don't have something to offer us in another, then we learn how equal we are. Nobody has all the answers; where we can't see our own blindspots, someone is glad to point it out!
 
Sorry, that's false. Choosing fear and ignorance over enlightenment is almost exclusively a fundie Christian endeavor.

Equally FALSE. Ask the doctors who were pursuing scientific studies on prayer. They found just as many "fundamental atheists" opposing the research as "fundamental Christians" opposed. The problem was MUTUAL fear and false division between faith and science; and there were "fundies" on BOTH SIDES rejecting the other and attempts to prove both right!

Hollie if you close your mind, and keep assuming Christianity means to limit oneself to the Bible, then you are acting as closedminded out of fear, as the people you project blame on.

If you believe Christians are hypocrites, for projecting blame on others for what they do,
then don't do this yourself or you are hardly different!

The Christians I know are in agreement that they are also called to respect civil authority.
So if Constitutional laws call for equal religious freedom, then that is a Christian value also.
Christians may struggle with this, but they are not the only ones. The Atheists who oppose Christian influence on the govt/secular/public institutions struggle just as much!
 
WE are animals....

First get the vocabulary on the same page. Animals has two meanings, if you mean "animals as opposed to humans." Just like calling humanity by the term "man": We are all included in the term MAN, but if you mean "man opposed to woman" then "man" in that context means something different. Same with the term "animal" so please clarify first to avoid confusion.
 
What a creepy stalker.

What a boring dipshit !

An angry fundie. How stereotypical.

Also the stereotype of the anti-theist in equal denial but projecting all that responsibility on the theists for their part in the same. And claiming the other side needs to take responsibility, while not setting an example by doing just that. Typical of both sides? No?

Do you not recognize equal denial and projection on both sides?
 
Specifically, you have achieved embracing fear and superstition. You have failed to denigrate science in favor of your gods and your have failed to make a case for your conspiracy theory whereby every major university in the world has accepted the fact of evolution.

Basically, you failed at everything.

Dear Hollie: proving evolution still does "not negate" that all life including the evolutionary processes can come from the same source which people call God or the author of life.

Why not take on proof of something that has a chance of helping more people?

Look up spiritual healing as taught and practiced freely by successful leaders in this field:
Dr. Francis MacNutt author of HEALING (1999 edition adds references to a medical study on Rheumatoid Arthritis where patients successfully healed had better results than relying on medication that only placating symptoms but didn't address or cure the root cause of crippling pain) Christian Healing Ministries
Dr. Phillip Goldfedder Healing Is Yours A professional neurosurgeon who found out how spiritual healing worked after he saw proof, and uses it now as his regular practice because it is more effective and less invasive/expensive especially in cases that prevent the need for surgery or medicine.
Olivia Reiner 713-829-0899 a personal friend of mine who is seeking medical documentation of over 30 years of healing outreach to help cancer patients and victims of abuse to be freed of disease, addictions or mental illness that are healed by removing obstructions caused by unforgiven conflicts or issues from the past, so people's minds/bodies can naturally heal.

Hollie, if you are NOT the closedminded type you fault Christian fundies for being who "won't look at scientific proof" then you would welcome this opportunity to reconcile science with faith to stop the proselytizing and judging going on.

If you refuse to look at this field, then count yourself equal as fundies who won't look either.
