bet you cant prove that.

Quote:

jesus did exsist but him n his 12 diciples were con artests

bet you cant prove that either.

I bet you can't prove that evolution isn't real...

as for not seeing evolution it takes several million years... incase you missed that memo...

several million years for a monkey to turn into a man. oh wait thats right. monkeys dont live several million years.

That would have to be remark of the day

...did you sleep through biology class. or do you just feel like being foolish and not actually posting evidence. same goes for the guy dissing the bible.

arguments for evolution
criticisms of the bible
because you people are to lazy to actually post some refernces, thought the bible one is flagged at the moment

i never took biology. and i dont think i ever will. its a waste of time for them to just tell you lies.

Ill say now that, that is pathetic. What about Medicine, Functions of the muscles, ecology, how the Brain works, Blood systems, bone system and the Nervous system. To call that all lies is just pathetic on your behalf.

how does i tell you lies, did physical earth science class teach me lies? did chemistry teach me lies? Last time i checked hot air those infact rise and oil is a good for making stuff. So i guese biology lied to me about the little white cells in my blood. It seems to me that your mind is probably closed, id recomend taking some classical liature and science classes at the local jc. Now i could see why a person would disagree with evolution, its no big deal. But to denigh that animals and mankind is changing over many of a year is kinda foolish

Evolution is continuing to happen, and it is an observable process. We see it in the small, short-lived creatures. We breed dogs and plants by bending evolution to our will. Bacteria evolves to fight the drugs we develop to fight them, and can eventually overcome it. We can't see it in ourselves, elephants, whales, and other large, long-lived animals simply because the perspective is wrong. We can't see it because in our entire lifetimes we can only see one detail of it in ourselves, and we haven't had the means to look at what we were for very long.

That being said, evolution is not responsible for every signficant change. Environmental factors have always been more important in shaping the differences between people in one generation and the short-term changes from one generation to the next.

a major survey just determined that only ten percent of americans believe human live was derived by a completely random process.

evolutionary theory has become a shibboleth, a sacred cow, a dogma. you don't dare ask questions about it or quesiton it's assumptions or you are intellectually ostracized.

Not only does your conclusion completely contradict your initial statement, it's also false.
Science has no sacred cows that are beyond reproach. If something doesn't work in the face of evidence, we take a good hard look at that something and see if it needs revising, or even dumping altogether. This is how Quantum Mechanics and Relativity took over for Newtonian Physics. This is how Evolution became the established paradigm over Creationism in the first place. The reason why Evolution is so widely accepted is quite simply because it works so damn well. You'd think that, for 150 years of people objecting to it and trying to find fault with it, surely SOME would have succeeded by now, yes? Unfortunately their objections end up being wrong or, even worse, useless. Evolution is seen to happen, it's observed directly. All the indirect evidence from various fields and lines of research also point to it. Evolution is an established fact. The Theory of Evolution tries to explain how this factual process is carried out. It's not a dogma or a doctrine or any other such word for hollowly repeated and groundless ideology. It's one of the most successful and powerful Theories in science. That is why it's still around after all these years.

Which explains why you're such an ignorant crap-spewing moron when it comes to Evolution. Tell me, O Queen, how in God's name do you propose to lecture us on the problems of Evolution UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? Until you catch up with the rest of the gradeschoolers in biology, feel free to spare us your worthless blathering.

ok first Im agonistic... Im offended that its not on there but neways I completely belive in evelution. The catholic church held back the study of this theory for years before scientists found bones in africa of homo erectus the first relative of humans to stand on 2 feet and use tools then more bones were found of other species of human relatives like the pigmy man and others and now they have reconstructed migratory patterns that led the first homo sapiens to the places where we live today

Sorry darlin, those were the first ten I thought of, plus they only let you have ten options sweatdrop
I value everybodies opinions but please do not impose your opinions on other people so strongly! No matter how much you call someone stupid or ignorant they will still have their own views, and therefore say pretty much whatever the hell they like. I love your opinions though, keep it up!

Evolution is not a threat to creation and creation is not a threat to evolution. The only way these two become a threat to each other is when people change what they are really about. The creation story is not about how life started it is about who started it. Evolution is not about proving that there is not a creator it is about proving how life started.

Evolution is about proving how life started.

No it isn't.
Evolution is about explaining how life changes.

Well, here's a nice, comprehensive website that addresses all of the misconceptions about evolution that many of you guys have:

It works becuase you underlined "URL". The stupid thing doesn't recognise the url tabs as code if you don't make it check with some other kind of code, like a quote or text editing.

Personally...I think the Bible is all metaphoric, and partcially made-up.....
><;;;

.....Therefore....No...I don't believe in it....
I believe in evolution...

Religion to me... seems like something that people use to comfort themselves because they're in denile of every other possible answer...
and they believe that for some reason there HAS to be something after death....

No, There doesn't...
