I was saying that because there is chance you have been expose to negative ideas and myths about evolution that many creationist spread around.
No.
But I have been exposed to the lies of evolution.
But what do you mean about "the lies of evolution?" This is new to me. I have never heard of any lies about evolution.

Did you view the links I have included in my post? I have shared information about the fossil evidence. Also a scientific theory is different from the stander English definition.

To the point...
This thread only has merit if looked as an attempt at reverse psychology...
I would like that someone would use the same reasoning to look back at religion and see how most presets fail to account the time before any specific religious movement was stated, to me most religions fail the examination of "rule book not included" and the rationals to "rule book only become important/necessary when..." are extreme convolutions to distract from the fact that it only become important or necessary for those that came up with it as a sociological control measure and were enabled only by the technology of writing (permitting the disseminating ideas) and intrinsically linked to the evolution of complex societies.
Magic has always existed, it is how we use our imagination to explain the unknown, a tool to enable us to cope with it. Science is not good or bad, it is a methodology to deal with the unknown in a rational way, it will never fully supplant magic but it is slowly moving it to the real complex issues.
Magic is becoming unmanageable by simple minded power driven idiots, knowledge sets us free from cowering from the shadows of the unknown and permits us to identify the flaws on those that claim control over it.

Unfortunately through our so called 'superior intellect' we have gone down the wrong rabbit hole with the theory of evolution. The evidence simply does not support the theory.

this is why some people are born with tails
scientists have actually activated dormant genes in chickens to force them to develop traits of of their theoretical ancestors (reptiles)
your argument falls flat on its face under the light of modern science and the ability to actually view the change in genetics over large periods of time and find the origins of those geneticsedit on 20-3-2013 by sirhumperdink because: (no reason given)

in your misguided opinion anyway.... see how easy that is (to just claim something is wrong)
......well it certainly is more comfortable to believe anyway (that there is somebody watching over you.... that will give you ever lasting life and burn those you disagree with for all eternity in a pit of hellfire.... that this is all just some kind of sick test and none of your problems really matter in the long haul.....and all your deceased loved ones are waiting for you somewhere)
but really despite your protests..... it seems the only one you are really trying to convince is yourself

No.
Human beings need their tail bones and all of the muscles associated with them. Certain activities are very hard to acomplish without them, namely reproduction.
Geneticist's can and do change the genetic makeup of animals. This in no way proves macroevolution. The theory of evolution is supposedly a self contained process within it's environment with no outside influence. In the case of the chicken the designer (geneticist) is modifying the design of the original deisgner. The chicken would never have these so called 'dormant genes' becoming active without the external influence of the geneticist. If science one day proves that macroevolution can happen in a self contained environment without the influence of the geneticist then I will become a believer.

(they did force it in the chicken but that does not in fact mean it could not occur natural as is usually the case)

No, but...
The theory of evolution certainly helps people justify crushing the weak. The theory of evolution is a Eugenicist's wet dream.
Evolution doesn't directly encourage strength anymore than it does intelligence. I am still not sure how you can claim that the idea of life adapting to its enviroment leads to genocide, or murder.
I know you are trolling, but I am bored....so one more time. Evolution is life adapting to it's surroundings...that has nothing to do with your simple ideas of strength, and weakness...let alone the start of the universe(which is in the realm of physics...not evolution), or the dawn of life(which is also a seperate field, and study than evolution). Evolution is simply how life changes over time...which we know to be true due to things like immunization, hereditary conditions, and genetic markers.
With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.
[Darwin, The Descent of Man (1871 edition), vol. I, p. 168);
(that at) some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races." [Darwin, Descent (1871), vol. I, p. 201.] The racist cast of Darwin's thought is difficult to deny.
I feel it all went to sh*t when the hippies became parents.
You will see it all over these boards - the belief that breeding needs to be controlled amongst the poor and amongst those who display less than societally deemed acceptable traits. This THINKING stems from the the theory of evolution and survival of the fittest which is shoved down our throats. It reduces us to men and women with the same eugenic beliefs as expressed by Darwin above, because it IS EUGENETICS masquerading as a law of nature. Why can't we see the fruit of such teaching?
