More Strong Evidence for Evolution: Anatomical Vestiges

[scruffy]

claiming science is based on consensus is so open minded,

Point well taken.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Point well taken.

so, you honestly think science is by majority vote?

claiming science is based on consensus is so open minded,

That's right, it is. Because the consensus of scientists arises from the consensus of the evidence. They go where the evidence takes them.

That's open mindedness.

Compare that to yourself. You long ago decided on a belief, and all new information that contradicts it is simply rejected a priori.

That's closed-mindedness.

No science is not by consensus it is by trial and error and hard work verifying what can be verified and discarding what can't be.

I am not saying science is done by consensus. I am saying consensus is a symptom of science. And it arises from a consensus of the evidence.

So -- in a turn of events that someone like you has a hard time understanding -- even the scientists who disbelieved a hypothesis come to accept it, due to consensus of the evidence.

That's open mindedness.

except you and your buddies don't preach that you preach because someone said something, and others agreed without evidence that it is proof.

Yes I do. See? You have rejected the information and substituted a bullshit strawman, so you don't have to change your own thinking.

Closed mindedness, on parade.

LOL remind us how consensus proves manmade warming again because you claim it without any proof

 

[RetiredGySgt]

LOL remind us how consensus proves manmade warming again because you claim it without any proof

Or how man evolved from an apelike creature even though there is no direct link to any such thing,

I have never stated or implied such a thing. I doubt anyone else has, either.

But you are putting on a fine demonstration of my point, and I thank you for that.

Consensus of scientists doesn't prove anything. It's a symptom.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Or how man evolved from an apelike creature even though there is no direct link to any such thing,

What would be a "direct link"? What would that look like?

Be specific.

already have several times to you and you ignored it what science has is unrelated species sometimes separated by thousands of years and no link that they claim proves the point.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

already have several times to you

Lie.

Not one single time.

But you do like to say this every time, hoping to fool the others reading our exchange.

To all: I assure you he is lying, nor will he be answering the question in this thread.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

crickets

ignore my reply all you want others see it retard.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

ignore my reply all you want others see it retard.

There is no reply. Just a lie.

Nor will there be one.

The question is surgical and works every time.

As you are about to demonstrate.

and yet you cannot link to a single source that has a direct link from when science claims we first appeared to now,

See?

It will keep going for a while. Then he will leave.

see what? you have no link to prove what science claims is the facts of evolution of man.

Still going...

What would a "direct link" look like? What properties would it have?

How would you know, if we had found it?

you don't have any link for the history of man from ape, go ahead link the chart again with its huge glaring gaps and no connections.
