Why do people deny evolution?

@spendius,

isn't google wunnerful? Ive been misspelling it for 30 years. I often see papers with it spelled with 2 g's.
Oh well, either we learn how to do it or we learn how to spell it, choose 1.

have you looked up trend surface analyses yet? I will talk later about data mining . Its a very useful tool to the Creationists who try to sound scientific.

@farmerman,

But we have no evidence that you have learned how to do it outside of your assertion that you do. And you know how important evidence is.

@farmerman,

No. I don't have any particular skills. I have met too many people who have. There is a suspicion that the development of skills is a refuge from general incompetence.

There have always been too many interesting distractions for me to engage in practicing. In the club where I played snooker whenever anybody made a break above 30 they were accused of secretly practicing which was considered as cheating.

I consider your constant use of esoteric words drawn from technical manuals as aggressive. Rate busting. Sweating. Such swotted up expertise causes victims to try to direct conversations into limited areas in which they might be seen in the best possible light. Science is perfect for such exercises.

Evolution says we are only here for shagging. Darwin hated the "idle Earl". And he seems to have been extremely nervous about endogamy.

And Goethe said that mankind's greatest problem was being unable to sit quietly in his rooms.

Getting by is my skill. Surviving unscathed for as long as possible.

Not in my universe, Spendalot. General incompetents always get shown up for what they're worth.

However if you don't attain any skills you will merely be fated to try to insult all those who have attained them. Not a great trade off. Learn some skills or be bum. ems like you've picked the latter.

Anyone can be a contrarian or a denier. That takes very few skills indeed . All you and your ilk show us is that you've failed in the past at some core areas of learning. If ya cant be a chemist, you can always try to traduce chemistry. If evolution is beyond you, saying it lacks "evidence" is a simian trick.

So you just have an opinion that doesn't make sense.

Evolution - amoral so it is bad
Alcohol - amoral so it is good.

OMG that's so funny. I had to read it three times to make sure I read it correctly. When I was single I was dating a man who was more insecure than I realized, he was asking strange questions and I realized he feared I might be seeing someone else. I said "this is nuts, you're paranoid" His response was "well I wouldn't be paranoid if you told me everything". It made me laugh out loud, I thought he was joking. The definition of amoral was also funny but apparently our beer soaked bar fly was serious. But it's still funny!!!

And meanwhile you still run away from the simple question. Do you think anyone has ever won the lottery?

@parados,

But let's look at other math errors in your sources.

You provided this source -
http://www.mathematicsofevolution.com/ChaptersMath/Chapter_230__Seven_Reasons__.html

The chapter I linked to makes the claim that if there was 1 random change per year on a 3 billion pair DNA then after 660,100,000 million years 22% of the billion pairs would have changed from the original. Another mathematical error from one of your sources. Can you spot the error?

The error is the author assumes that random changes will never change anything that has previously been changed. Easy to show how it is wrong. Simply roll a six sided die 3 times. How many times in 3 rolls did you have a repeated number? Now repeat this 1o more times. Sometimes you will roll the same number twice in 3 rolls. Sometimes you will even roll the same number 3 times in a row. Your author can't even do simple odds.

Hint - Hilight my post to see what they got wrong.

You didn't understand my post fm.

Evolution is a process and is beyond everybody. As you understand it, as a simplistic description, it is beyond nobody over 10.

You're defining "skill" now. No doubt to include yourself.

Your post is ignorant and aimed at ignorant people. It's also repetitive which is said to be suitable for ignorant people.

What is peer-review if not contrarian? You're far too emotionally involved in these matters. As folk tend to be if money matters as you have said is the case.

Where have I said that evolution lacks evidence?

Get it straight para for ****'s sake.

Evolution is amoral; neither good nor bad. Alcohol is amoral; neither good nor bad.

Only the human uses of both can be said to be moral or immoral.

The other thing that Quahog is all fucked up over is he seems to assume that any SNP in DNA "Must Occur" before any evolution occurs. Actually selection favors whats already been done on the genome, whether its a fold, a repeat, or mere sexual variation.As Miller said
"Evolution uses whats there and does something different with it"
That's why their argument about "Statistically impossible' is actually ass backwards and shows a complete misunderstanding that's every bit as dumass as "theres no evidence".
