Why do people deny evolution?

Don't get mad, angry, upset with me spendius. I need something to use up my time. My apologies for coming across as a childish bi*ch to you, to anyone. This thread was started by you then I understand your attack. If not. Then you love me.

The feelings are mutual. :sincere smile as I look down:

As I return to this thread, I must once again note how misunderstandings and disagreements seem to rip the general peace into peices (no pun formerly intended, but, it happened to happen). Might I also note that JimmyJ still has reign over the majority of posters here, in the sense of well constructed and (usually) useful and clear posts.

Also, his debating skills leave the rest of you in the proverbial dust, where you attempt to provide secondhand, weak "Evidence" and/or irrelevant insults aimed straight at his person, as a "Back door", while you try to quietly leave the thread.

So, I wish you much success against these literary vagabonds.
Good luck, JimmyJ.

I'm not mad, angry or upset info. I'm amused. It's always amusing when somebody pops into an established conversation to inform the participants of something they have all heard many times before and which doesn't mean anything anyway.

You're taking the piss Inky.

James hasn't a clue. His ears haven't been dried yet.

He used two short assertions to answer a post of mine neither of which had any meaning beyond what stamping a foot does. That's his usual procedure with special reference to declaring others know nothing about biology which conveys the idea that he does without further elaboration.

I wonder if spendius is trying to start an argument. with me. or. in general.

Spendius, I don't need to ask a series of questions to assess whether or not you know anything about basic biology. All I have to do is ask one:

True or false, evolution is the process by which all organisms diversified.

Since your answer to this is false, I can now rightly claim that you know nothing about modern biology.

And what shall we say of one who proclaims theory as absolute?

And what shall we say of one who proclaims theory as absolute?

I said true to myself thinking it. Then read on to see that Jimmy says spendius says false. Hmm. As I lay here thinking to myself.

I wonder if Jimmy and spendius are the same person.

Irrelevant insults. Case closed (Forgive the cliche). Or do not. I really cant say I care.

I'm not sure if you're just refusing to learn intentionally, but the difference between "scientific theory" and your definition of "theory" was made clear to you earlier. Did you avoid this, fail to absorb the information, or are you just plain slow?

Scientific method without controlled testing is nothing more than recondite speculation.

/facepalm

And so continues evidence that you lack learning capability.

If the following sounds familiar that's good. That's because we've had this discussion before (not sure if you have memory problems or not). Do me a favor and go on Google scholar. Type in "evolution". You can accompany evolution with any words such as "controlled testing" or "human evolution" etc. Let me know what comes up.

I am actually a bit ashamed of you right now. Referring to one of science's most established theories as "recondite speculation" is truly a slap to the face of the thousands of scientists throughout the last 200 years that have dedicated their research to understanding biology and evolution.

Ignorance at it's best.

At least neo can count. The Origin Of Species was published in 1859, that's when the theory of evolution was first circulated. That's 155 years ago not 200. You're really quite stupid aren't you? Any idiot can regurgitate facts and figures, so much easier that actually trying to think.

I was being humorous. Are you. Were you?

No one is an idiot unless it is made quite clear.

Who are you? What is going on? Is there a misunderstanding?

Ah. You have a problem with men such as myself.

Those who yell idiot(s) are the idiot(s) for knowing the one being attcked knows nothing of the situation at hand. Therefore. You are the idiot my friend.
