PS: Continue ignoring every valid and supported post on this thread, it gives you an huge amount of credibility. Show me, please, a bone disorder that gives you neanderthal body, with all it's key differences from human body.edit on 17-8-2013 by JameSimon because: (no reason given)

I see. So your answer to science is to cite coincidence, conjecture and flights of fancy? That'll work...

How difficult is it for you to visualise a species of animal, say some kind of bird, which has ranged, and settled into a wide spectrum of different environments. Each environment presents different challenges with regards to things like food, predation, weather patterns etc. Eventually, through adaptation we would see a divergence in behaviour and appearance of some populations of from thier 'parent species' to the degree that new species of birds could be classified. It's not a difficult concept to grasp once you shake off the mental shackles of religious dogma.

I will agree that willful ignorance is a part of the creationist thought process, but most creationists are passive creationists. They accept what they're told.
Then you have the proactive apologetic creationist like the OP and his star buddy 1nfent1le, who's foundation rests on a lack of self awareness.
I think they truly believe that scientists are interpreting data so that it matches their assumed conclusions, just like they do.
Therefore, their interpretations are on par with the conclusions that real scientists reach.
In reality these creationist are reflecting themselves...
In order to hold on to the illusion that is creationism they need to believe that everyone else is just as deluded. By projecting their flaws onto real scientists they can convince themselves that they are on equal footing.

Are you even reading this thread ? Show me a bird that had turned into a new animal. Not adaptation to an environment, but a new vastly different creature. That is what evolution wants us to believe. Show me how it survives during this transition from say a lizard to a bird or from a fish to a mammal. That is what evolution wants us to believe. I have said over and over we adapt. Please show me a natural progress from a pig to a horse.

"Evolution is on it's heels"??? Seriously? I'm afraid that it's the exact opposite. We're seeing more and more evidence of it with every year that passes.
Oh by the way, attacking Darwin for not having all the evidence in place for his theory is rather sad. Darwin didn't have access to the kind of scientific equipment we do now. It would be like attacking a 19th century doctor for not knowing what we do now.
And finally your idea that Neanderthals were modern humans with rickets and other degenerative conditions. I've seen this claim before on the site before. It was laughable then and it's still laughable now. 0/10.

It also reminds me of a scripture in Isaiah:
Isa 29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

.....???? Ah. I see. You are now willingly obfuscating. You don't actually know anything about evolution and the way it works and instead you're just blathering a lot. Evolution is about graduated steps. By the way, we can trace pigs and horses back to a common ancestor. That's evolution for you.
