    I apologize to those who have followed this debate for the past three years. I was unaware I have to make an opening statement and create a “new topic” for the grounds of discussion on a continuation, but I will be more than happy to follow the Mods/rules/regs of this forum. I was under the impression that you could just put continue and re-establish the debate in a new thread since it was closed due to 500 post (from the previous Evolution was a Joke pt IV), but I was wrong. I apologize for not being able to address what was previously posted – if you could take the time to re-post what we ended with I will be more than happy to address the discussion where it left off and continue.

    Thank you.


    I start this thread to discuss Evolution. Not GOD!!!

    The Theory of Evolution is not a theory. It is a hypothesis that is more a religion than anything science. It has very little holding up the hypothesis except "IF/THEN" statements and fairytales of time machines. As I have stated previously of why I put this in the Religious section of this forum is due to the "fanatical" followers of Darwin's Hypothesis turned religion. It has become a Religion and followed by fanatics who do not even know the meaning of the Hypothesis they follow.

    Not all are fanatics, by no means... But there is a large number and percentage by ratio, I have dealt with on evolution, when questioning their "faith", than I have with Christians. The faithful of the church of evolution will attack (become aggressive) when they do not understand or see flaws within their religion. As some of you have read and will notice in the future. I will give every opportunity for discussion with those who so choose, but when you fling dirt, expect it back.

    If evolution is not a religion it should be easy that you can provide scientific proof of evolution passing the scientific method to even BECOME a theory, thus giving repeated examples of common descent through experimentation. If that is or cannot be provided the hypothesis is no more than a Religion that people follow and have "FAITH" that common descent is plausible... Thus, per the definition it should be The Darwin Religion unless scientific evidence of common descent can and/or has been established.

    Falsehood. The theory of evolution is a model and has predictive power.

    How many college level biology courses have you taken? Please, tell me.

    You know what pisses off physicists? People who think they have perpetual motion machines. That gets them riled up about as much as creationism does for biologists.

    I guess you don't think that astronomy is a science, then, either? Or any other large-scale science that makes direct experimentation difficult?

    This doesn't help now does it... :)

    The newfound fossil of a 155 million-year-old feathered dinosaur has led scientists to claim that Archaeopteryx, the species long held forth as the "oldest bird," is no bird at all.

    I could have SWORN on my left pinky toe I stated this already... I could have sworn!!! Oh.. No need - because I did...

    Now wait for the Religion of Darwin to change everything they had initially stated... It's like for a Christian to find out Jesus was Chinese...

    Bull(*)(*)(*)(*) on top of bull(*)(*)(*)(*) on top of bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    There is no Darwin Religion, this thread is bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    You said, and I quote, "I start this thread to discuss Evolution. Not GOD!!!" Then stop posting in the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing religion forum, cause your stupid bull(*)(*)(*)(*) threads about evolution belong in the science forum.

    Delete this stupid thread again please, as it has no place in the religion section, AS PER THE OP'S OWN ADMISSION.

    Then why is it in the religion section and not the science section?

    If it is just a hypothesis and not a theory, then by all means, explain why we only have 46 chromosomes while all other primates have 48.

    And while you are at it, explain how we can have bacteria that has adapted to eat nylon, even thou nylon wasn't invented until 75 years ago.

    Archaeopteryx is still the oldest therapod known capable of flight, likely making its larger clade the origin of modern birds.

    So (*)(*)(*)(*)ing what that there are older dinosaurs with feathers? So birds may have branched off from an earlier member of Archosaurs, the fact is that no one who seriously studies the topic thinks that birds aren't Archosaurs.

    Glad to have you back Akhlut...

    Negative, the process within evolution which have been observed within experimentation have, but not common descent. Also, per the processes of random mutation, and natural selection, you cannot predict how an ecosystem will adapt and what will go extinct before any signs…

    You can say I’ve had a couple classes… :)

    Good, since I am not a Creationist… I do not want any other religion (outside from evolution itself) being discussed. Religion is “faith” and those who do believe know this, what is remarkable to me is those who believe in evolution also have this faith that those who are telling them “truths” (like the first bird)… are indeed being truthful instead of putting propaganda out that others will follow blindly...

    like the first bird...

    I love astronomy in fact. I am a Scorpio and my woman is a Capricorn. Also, you are forgetting about the math that is within astronomy… Tons of it there… I love math!

    Hard to argue that it's been here for over three years... For one - I stated that it is a faith, and thus ask you, if you believe in evolution to prove it otherwise.

    Which you have not been able to do in the past three years... Thus, it is a religion of evolution.

    OR - do you have some evidence of common descent?

    Do you need a tissue? :cry: It seems that you are drawn to this thread to rant and rave like a Christian to a show with a gay couple in it!

    Why do you care? If you don't like it - don't look nor post... It's that easy you religious funny person! :)

    Because of my starting arguement is why...

    Wait... How do you think that shows common descent? We had an ancestor that had 47 chromosomes? What are you getting at?

    Explain how you tie the two together please...

    That is adapting to another food source since the bacteria was found outside of a nylon factory...

    Sheesh... Do you look anything up before posting it?

    If evolution is a joke then an invisible guy living up in the sky named god who sees and hears everything makes more sense to you?

    Chromosome 2 (human)

    If Evolution is only a 'hypothesis', then explain Chromosome 2

    Yep... Per your site (well, actually my site since I tell people to read it before posting - which you didn't) Today, these fish still have eyes—but they are not functional and are not an adaptation; they are just the by-products of the fishes’ evolutionary history.

    I thought you said they were the same? How can they be evolution when the site just stated they are NOT an adaptation?

    Yes, as you point out yourself so eloquently, the reason you're still at part 1 is that you haven't gotten it yet.
