Why has she ceased speaking to me?

I'm not interested in her as a love-affair anymore.

@glitterbag,
I wish that made any sense.

Stick to bingo, old-hag.

@JimmyJ,
I've always wondered how the astronauts dealt with flatulence. You've been eating hard boiled eggs and drinking beer, haven't you?

@neologist,
What do you think Neo, isn't Jimmy just the smartest guy you ever met. His witty remarks are devastatingly withering. On second thought, not so much, actually a tad little-boyish. .

Your face looks like an old carpet that was left out in the sun all day.

@JimmyJ,
No wonder she stopped talking to you. You’re a dipshit. Cool

I don't think he's stupid, just very much in love with his IQ

Well, you are the one who claims to know more than all the world's Biologists.

Not true, actually. I admire the work of people like farmerman who diligently describe and categorize fossil evidence. We have many areas of agreement. And, where we disagree, neither of us would describe the other as cerebrally challenged.

@neologist,
All of the worlds Biologists adhere to evolution.

You claim they are wrong and that evolution is false.

Therefore, by extension, you are claiming to know more than them.

The trouble with making claims that "all" of a certain population believe in something or adhere to something is that it only takes finding 1 instance of non-conformity to prove you wrong. And once proven wrong it lessens the impact of your argument. And since I enjoy proving people wrong when they make really dumb statements which include the word "all" I have provided the below link to debunk your statement.

http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/12/07/biologist_fired_for_beliefs_suit_says/?page=full

And of course if that is not enough, I expanded my google search and consistently find figures that only 98-99.8% of biologists adhere to strict evolution beliefs. And I would not be surprised if the number were really 99.995%. It doesn't really matter how close you get to 100%. Anything less than that makes your statement wrong.

Now, had you written that nearly all biologists adhere to evolution, I would then agree with you. You really must step up your game if you are going to get any slack around here.

@CoastalRat,
Perhaps I should change my claim. However, I won't change the "all". I will change it to this:

All legitimate Biologists adhere to evolution.

I can support this by posting you the google scholar search of "Nathaniel Abraham". He is the "Biologist" that you referred to in the article. Interestingly enough he has not published a single academic journal.

http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Nathaniel+Abraham&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C29&as_sdtp=


We can also take a look at the article that you posted. The closing quote is very telling and truthful indeed when comes to Biology as a science.

"It is inconceivable that someone working in developmental biology at a major research institution would not be expected to deal intimately with evolution," she said. "A flight school hiring instructors wouldn't ask whether they accepted that the earth was spherical; they would assume it. Similarly, Woods Hole would have assumed that someone hired to work in developmental biology would accept that evolution occurred. It's part and parcel of the science these days."

I stand by my statement.

@CoastalRat,
I also forgot to point out that the figures you're looking up don't take into account partial acceptance of evolution.

Some people may have problems with PARTS of evolution (ie: monophyletic, polyphyletic, etc), but it is literally almost impossible to do any biological research without operating from a position that evolution is true (hence why your "biologist" Abraham or whatever his name was has no published research).

I like your post, though.
