Science denialism: The problem that just won’t go away

Can you walk me through how atoms and molecules evolved to form single cell life?

Why?

It has nothing to do with evolution.

Life on earth evolved gradually beginning with one primitive species—perhaps a self-replicating molecule—that lived more than 3.5 billion years ago; it then branched out over time, throwing off many new and diverse species; and the mechanism for most (but not all) of evolutionary change is natural selection.

Evolution assumes the existence of life and does not explain how life began.

So the "Theory of Evolution" only works in certain isolated instances?
quit splitting hairs 57Frank :eusa_hand:
 
You started by telling me "Evolution is a fact"

I asked you to explain how atoms and molecules evolved to form the first cell and you went off on a tangent

Evolution is not concerned with how life was created - the tangent is yours.

Evolution is a fact, demonstrable and repeatable.
 
So you want to avoid the question. OK

You stated that you wanted to talk about evolution, not the creation of life.

One is not the other.

Evolution is a fact, less sophisticated life forms have evolved over time into more sophisticated ones. Adaptation to environments is observable and well documented. The creation of life is irrelevant to the fact of this process.

None of that matters ...its like speaking Greek to the Chinese...
The Chinese would adapt and actually have a conversation in Greek. you fail.

nah that's your honor, it's your pet.
 
funny how the evolution of man didn't make it to the US borders until Christopher Columbus. The rest of the world was blessed in evolution, accept the US land mass.

I had to communicate with you!

All of the denialist arguments (anti-evolution, anti-global warming, etc.=anti-science) have similar fallacious arguments, and all use the same arguments that were used by the tobacco industry to deny the fact that cigarette smoking causes disease. Coincidence?

Science denialism The problem that just won t go away EARTH Magazine

Often in our culture, science is rendered disposable if it stomps on a cherished claim; faith trumps reality. This attitude is internally inconsistent: Atomic theory is OK when we use it to X-ray our teeth or build a nuclear power station, but invalid when it comes to assessing the age of the planet. Evolutionary insight is OK when it guides the production of our annual flu shot, but deniers refuse to let it tell them from whence they came. Science is the way forward, but not for people who don’t want to go forward.

The most concerning problem with science denialism is climategate denialism.

A bunch of very dishonest greedy people, claiming to be "scientists", mindfucked a bunch of stupid people into giving them money. Lots of money! Not just other people's money, but their own money too.

That's how stupid the are!

All the while willfully ignoring the fact that the only crime that was committed was that somebody hacked government e-mail servers and then posted confidential e-mails on open internet servers for all the world to see. So it is apparently okay if somebody violates international law and the privacy of citizens, but not for scientists to have confidential conversations about their trade.

Translation, we got caught in outright fraud - but it's your fault for reading our conspiracy....
