40,000 generations later it is still E. Coli.

You're not supposed to edit mod edits. Ya, I'm in a frisky tattle tale mood.
Oh well.
It's BW's music's fault.

So what is your point?
Are you trying to say that an experiment with a bacteria that has remained unchanged for millions of years because the ecological niche it inhabits precludes any need to evolve further is a valid argument against evolution?
Why are you so scared of evolution?
I think you might be scared of evolution, and its big brother Science, because deep down you know that they are true, but you don't want to question your faith because, well, essentially, it is built upon the sand!

essentially, deny ignorance. You have no understanding at all about the Theory of Evolution or the processes which have made it the study of Science. I do, I have studied biological science as we;ll as geology and paleontology.
And I also have a grounding in religious studies, with vigorous debates with family members (who are clergy, who teach Christianity at University) and they have had no valid reason for denying evolution.
I'd love to take my gloves off, but then it would get messy.

It's still bacteria.
I'm not.

So? Just because it's remained as bacteria because of its success does not preclude evolution occurring. In fact, there is so much evidence for evolution and so little for god.
For goodness sake, you refer me to a thread that quotes the bible...a book written by people, over a long period of time, much of it while under the influnce of psychoactive substance, and you say that it is fact? Do you have any other EVIDENTIAL based examples, or are you just going to rehash that hoary old chestnut?
Please enlighten me then.

I beg to differ. There is definitely evidence (massive evidence) that supports evolution on a micro scale. Horray. Thanks for validating the Bible. Macro evidence on the other hand is far too dubious and stretched.

4). Now go back and reread without bias unless you are content with sticking to your own spoon fed dogma. Typical indoctrinated evolutionists that has enclosed themselves in their own confining box and refuses to travel outside of it.

I'm pulling a Billy Graham over in my thread.
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

On the contrary smart guy,, they do. Most people in the clergy use the Bible and it is quite specific as to our being created intact and NOT from some primordial oooze.
