one more thread disproving evolution by demonstrating that they dont know what evolution actually is. where is phantom423, i hear s/he has put up a pretty good site for that kind of thing.
dont worry, i wont tell.

One separate from this? I never leave my home.
it is not they who have a hard time explaining, it is you who prides yourself in refusing to listen.

funny how you always respond as if I am a complete dumbass.
The method they used does not concern me but what does concern me is the fact that some scientist managed to force millions of so called evolutionary yrs into a few weeks of work.
Now if you can see that is much evidence that other processes out there unknown to you or I could be used to force so called evolutionary process.
at the end of the day they are all guesses unless we were there during the changes happening to species on earth but if we listen to others they claim case closed and it shows there willingness to further a set of guidelines that some quack laid out yrs ago.

please refer to any dictionary or scientific manual for a definition of Darwinism. It is a term used to consolidate Darwin's differing theory's of evolution of the species through natural selection.
Please refer again to my first post. While your argumentative prowess is quite exceptional it doesn't change the fact that in no part of my original post is a strawman argument presented.
Please stop making things up. It's childish.
And please... to try and define a difference between Darwin and Evolution is ludicrous at best. Even if such a separation did in fact exist it would not change the fact that even the mechanism of Speciation is heavily reliant on the organisms reaction to the local environment making my original point still true and relevant.
The modern evolutionary synthesis (known as the new synthesis, the modern synthesis, the evolutionary synthesis, millennium synthesis or the neo-Darwinian synthesis) is a 20th-century synthesis of ideas from several fields of biology that provides an account of evolution which is widely accepted. [1]
The synthesis, produced between 1936 and 1947, reflects the consensus about how evolution proceeds.[2] The previous development of nineteenth century evolutionary ideas by Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel and others and the population genetics, between 1918 and 1932, was a stimulus, as it showed that Mendelian genetics was consistent with natural selection and gradual evolution. The synthesis is still, to a large extent, the current paradigm in evolutionary biology.[3]
The modern synthesis solved difficulties and confusions caused by the specialisation and poor communication between biologists in the early years of the 20th century. At its heart was the question of whether Mendelian genetics could be reconciled with gradual evolution by means of natural selection. A second issue was whether the broad-scale changes (macroevolution) seen by palaeontologists could be explained by changes seen in local populations (microevolution).
The synthesis included evidence from biologists, trained in genetics, who studied populations in the field and in the laboratory. These studies were crucial to evolutionary theory. The synthesis drew together ideas from several branches of biology which had become separated, particularly genetics, cytology, systematics, botany, morphology, ecology and paleontology.
Julian Huxley invented the term in his 1942 book, Evolution: The Modern Synthesis. Major figures in the modern synthesis include Ronald Fisher, Theodosius Dobzhansky, J. B. S. Haldane, Sewall Wright, E. B. Ford, Ernst Mayr, Bernhard Rensch, Sergei Chetverikov, George Gaylord Simpson, and G. Ledyard Stebbins.
Just because you can't be bothered to understand the theory thoroughly enough to tell the difference between the two concepts doesn't mean that a separation doesn't exist.

Please refer to the fact that there is no such thing as "Darwinism". It is a made up term invented by creationists to discredit evolution with a strawman.
Is evolution dependent on abiogenesis or creation? I ask because
as you said, evolution does not and can not explain how life began.
If it doesn't include how life began it is then dependent on that
explanation. So evolution discredits itself just fine without
creationists because creationism is dependent on nothing. Creation
in all truth is intolerable to evolution, so that leaves abiogenesis.
And abiogenesis faces all the impossibilities that evolutions believers
avoid in the way you just did.
So now that we have that all pinned down tell me this shot.
Did the mind create time or did time create the mind?

Crux of the matter; life existed before the idea of evolution began its diabolical plan. How did that initial life form begin; was created and continue on the path creating thousands of animated specie (reptile, mammal) from one salt water amoeba? No one has adequately explained the reason for the plant/flora or multitude (REASON) for 1.5 million insect species to exist; other than bees that have the job to pollinate (even they hate the human and sting us).

I see your disdain for a Creator as the reason
you persist. And that's not a good thing.
You're dark and negative
in most every post you describe a personal obsession against the
best explanation for existence there is. Constantly critical of others
beliefs because they differ from your own mundane wish.
Well you
can wish in one hand and crap in the other one. See which one fills up
first. And put that in your petri dish.
Wow. So negative and dark. I thought a person of Christ would be filled with joy and good wishes.

No one should fall victim to your hate because of that and I'm not one to just lay down and take it. Behind a key
board or not.
c) Your creator didn't do it because he/it doesn't exist.
Very true. Did you know I am still awaiting trial at the Hague for my crimes against humanity? I'm a very naughty boy

Krazyshot: Science thinks Abiogenesis did it, but the two don't rely on each other to be true though. Mostly because Abiogenesis is a hypothesis and Evolution is a theory.

I still say Creationism has no hope of explaining the diversity of life on this planet, nor why we have so many failings, biologically speaking.
noonebutme: Your God should have created us perfect or, at the very least, with better visual equipment than we currently have. And that is a very telling piece of evidence for evolution -- it isn't perfect or even right.
noone: It could very well be that one mutation in a specific generation, while not advantageous, promulgated to the next as some other specific adaption allowed it to continue. And by that I refer to our eyes. Why are they so poor in the dark? Why do they not see harmful xrays, UV, gamma, etc? Because no sentient thing created us - we evolved.If I created a new lifeform, i would give it EVERY conceivable physical advantage I could think of. Why make it deficient? That implies either :
a) Your creator is stupid
b) Your creator is incompetent
c) Your creator didn't do it because he/it doesn't exist.

You are speaking of the human only; because the rest of the flora and fauna here appear to be perfectly adapted to their ecosystems and seem to get along just fine with each other, one exception: the human is woefully out of place within these systems (a bad fit).
400,000 thousand years is not nearly enough time to evolve Hawk or Cat eyesight, Bloodhound smell, wings; perhaps in the next decade or two everything will ramp up.
You would (as God creator) recreate the human to be a better form. Where were you when needed in the first place to HELP.
You speak of others 'creator' being somehow different than yours. Begs this question, who created you?

noonebutme: No idea. A twinkle in the milkman's eye perhaps? If I were a God or some other such being, I would have created "humans" far, far better. And again, that's my point -- if it was intelligently designed, why is our design so f**ked up?? Why wouldn't you create a being to have better healing, better intelligence, better senses. Why make it like it was some long, drawn out process of trial and error over millions of years?
