Why do people deny evolution?

Has the Pope always been your religious hero?

FM needs to use an extra large keyboard because of problems with his hands. As a result he makes a lot of typos, but don't let that bother you, you've clearly lost the argument, so just insult someone because of a medical condition.

After that maybe you'd like to insult someone's mother.

My typos are the result of a crippled hand that acts more like a hammer than a useable appendage on the keyboard. Its pf little consequence to me what you feel since you've apparently not been on any review chains of professional papaers by colleagues. We often post humorous editorial response that we send back and forth to each other nd the authors. Ive got a colleague out at a major est Cost "IVY" who cant spell for **** and hes always getting wrong words into his stuff.
Spelling and "style" is defined by manuals in the sciences (I use AGI AGU and USGS stylistic manuals)
We have "rules of riting" of which, our admin assistants and editors are all well trained . My cursive writing is also a tragedy but its been pretty much growth process of years of taking copious field notes.

Id suggest that you stop engaging in cowardly retort by playing to my inconvenience. I know you cn understand what Ive written despite my days of bad typos. (Typos, when corrected by "spell chex" often create worse errors in introducing the precise word I need).

Also, my tablet has a stuck "A" key and I need to hve it fixed. Ive cleaned it several times but the damn thing get worse.

AS far as spelling by my colleagues, We all get good laughs from word usage and typos and silly phrases.

A recent one was
"Estuarine sediments were kept at bay". Pretty lame humor I know.

Some days my spelling is horrendous I know. Those days are when I hve to inject myelf with a muscle relaxant so I don't spasm in my left arm. I try not to use the relaxant too much (no more thn once every 2 weeks and less if I don't need to type much). Ive been using Dragon here but since I often use techy ords, Ive found Dragon to be really lame at speech recognition of tech words, but If I train the crap out of it, it does a fair job. I find that Dragon gives me the same quality of word recognition as whatever programs they use for " Follow-on Captioning" on cable TV. So, mostly Ill stick to the hand typing already knowing Im going to hve a passel of errors. I try to catch em .(Yesterday you called me out for a bad line of typos that I hd a;lready changed before you called me out-You were probably busy typing your critique while I was already fixing the line) SO Im not UNAWARE of the mistakes I make. However, most people on the line have sorta gone along and allowed me to produce my crappy style . Once in a while someone will call me names like "LaZy" for not correcting my errors. I try to get my respones typed out as fast as my mind spits em to me. But, if it pies someone off, I may just type with full-frontal spasms.

If you make my writing skill the only point of your debate with me, then I shall probably just ignore you and I don't wanna do that, youre not Quahog , you have been trying to present your worlview that includes unique perspective to science. I don't agree with most of them but you defend them well.
Ive gotta get back to bed, Ive been doing midnite predator inspections of my pastures and fields, and Ive been up since like 1AM (EST)

You told us that you taught for 8 years at a University. All I ask is what University were you a professor at? Is this question too hard? You forgot to include the answer?

Anonymity is quite important on A2K with such loathsome posters as Oralboy, Coljoint, CIUJohn and others. If FM, divulged the University he worked at, it could help identify him, and as such he should keep schtum.

I see no reason to doubt FM, and neither do other posters who actually know a bit about science. The only person who has doubts is you, and you're a holy roller in love with dogma.

I really believe she did that! It explains the ENORMOUS resistance she has
to non-evolution arguments . It is diffcult even to oneself, to admit that one has been lying for years to students (and oneself!) . It is a hard thing.
You have to be enormous honest and integer to be able to admit that.

If you say so, but not all agree with this........

I'm going to ask again. Please - stop engaging these trolls. They have NOTHING to offer this forum, and once ignored, will slither away somewhere else for attention.

Wow! Anyone who dsiagrees with evolution bull shite is a troll??????
Trying Ad Hominems again????


Man o man, how about, good arguments, good logic, good reason, and hmmmm let's see, ahum eh...........evidence ????

They are particularly afraid that God will clone a mammoth, and are even arguing that this is not the situation, as though it has already happened. Which is irrational.

PS. Multiple accounts aren't fooling anyone.

Who has multiple accounts here? is this just a distraction away from the topic at hand?

Seems so.

Sage advice. I started doing so days ago.

Admittedly rare, but there are occasional moments.

Careful not to peak too early. Keep the audience wanting more, they say.

So, you are admitting that you are a bit of a coward then, eh?



Figures! no argument, no evidence...NOTHING.

let's face it! what do expext from irrational people?

I note that Thumbsy has not entered anything ina profile, and he feels entitled ?

Anyway, my comments were originally to Quahog who made the comment that"Statistics proves that evolution is impossible"
Notice he just slipped away after that statement.

Statistics proves that bumblebees cant fly also.

They do make good pipecleaners though.
