Evolutionry/religious nonsense

Typical Discovery Institute BS, make more out of something that science had as a HYPOTHESIS (not a theory) as if it tears the curtain down. IT DONT. Lynn Margulis had been , for years , saying that organelles (like the mitochondrion) werent "common ancester originated" they were Captured as protein synthesizing (not O2) proteobacterial segments from brackish water dwelling organisms.

If you rad the sidebars and "offers" (not to mention the football jersey color schemes of DI blogs ), you can almost hear the organ playing .

Doesnt stop the Creationists/IDers a teeny bit. Anyway, its a hypothesis, all part of the rules. You really should get a 'puter subscription to Science or Nature.

How can the evolutionists be so sure of themselves in the absence of literally any evidence?

That was worth my good laugh for today. Thank you, Lf!

Fossil evidence of evolution.

Also, study the works by Charles Darwin during his stay at the Galapagos Islands to prove how evolution has changed the beaks of finches depending upon the food source available on each island.

Did you read the ******* article?

It’s the well respected 'Nature' that is the source of the news.

This just shows what a bunch of knee jerk critics you a2k evolutionists are.

Learn to read and understand what you are responding to.

Galapagos finches - Yeah, that was relevant... NOT

Did you know Topsy wasn't borned, she just growed.

the "******* article " was by the Discovery Institute reporting on the Nature Article. Sort like a Newspaper. Get it Dobby?

To expand on your comment as to why cicerone imposter (and millions of other people) who embrace evolutionism) Use illogical and irrelevant examples like the Galapagos finches ‘Evolving’ as ‘evidence/proof’ is really no different than a Jehovah’s Witness examining the evidence around them and concluding that Jesus was a created being.
These people are caught up in false teachings. I used to be caught up in such false teachings and false gods.
Even though evolution is impossible, just as life from nonlife is Impossible, it does not matter to Such ppl.
The majority of the world does not know its left hand from its right.

God has revealed to mankind creation truths such as that he created the world vegetarian and that it was created 6000 years ago and yet the majority of the world has it completely backwards. They are lost.
Just as humanity has their morality backwards, embracing abortion, homosexuality, porn, Beastiality, polygamy, cursing and swearing as acceptable and normal ‘good’ Behavior.

the last verse in the book of Judges reads ‘ there was no king in Israel in those days, and every man did what was right in his own eyes’ (God is to be our king and dictate right from wrong)
In other words, when God goes anything goes, Anarchy reigns!

Sing it, brother.

For those who have lost their way, and do not even know it... A quote from Richard Feynman, “What is necessary ‘for the very existence of science,’ and what the characteristics of nature are, are not to be determined by pompous preconditions, they are determined always by the material with which we work, by nature herself.”

When Giovanni Schiaparelli was cataloging the albedo features of Mars at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, he believed that he was seeing hydrological flow features (he was right, as the space programs of several nations have shown). He called them canali, which is Italian for channels. Journalists are the bottom-feeders of the literary world and never bright. English-language journalists, especially in the United States, started writing outrageous stories about canals on Mars. Even someone as level-headed as Percival Lowell was taken in, and he spent most of the rest of his life attempting to prove there were canals on Mars. No shame to him, he spearheaded the search for a ninth planet, to explain the perturbations in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. He died fourteen years before an Iowa farm boy "discovered" that planet X, now known as Pluto.

What the hell has this to do with evolution? That on-line rag that LF keeps linking is the equivalent of those idiot journalists who began to bang on canals on Mars. The main difference is that they promote BS stories that distort (witness their spin about the Nature article), and they do it on purpose to mislead. Newspaper men who turned Schiaparelli's channels into canals did it because they were stupid. These DI clowns do it because they're dishonest by policy--they're liars.

Bu Bu What about alternative facts?

who ya calling booboo?

Yes, it’s kind of ironic. NeoDarwinists are caught up in the same mental trap that they see Christians in. And of course some are. If you drink either flavor coolaid and take that as your fixed starting and end point, your thinking will always follow the same path.

Darwinists start and end with 'there is no God' or any actor outside of the four forces of physics, - what other conclusion can you come to? Some Christians do the same thing with their viewpoint and don’t bother to look at science, that’s how you get 6000 year old universes, etc.

Any explanation of existence that does not take into account all the data we see is simply the wrong explanation. My only problem with some NeoDarwinists is that they pretend that they have explained everything (including abiogenesis, the Big Bang, etc.) when they clearly haven’t.

The Discovery Institute would be so proud. People who accept evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life on this planet do so because there is no evidence of any other explanation. They don't start with any consideration for or against anyone's imaginary friend. They simply don't start from assumptions for which there is no evidence.

Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so....

Oh, and of course, "abiogenesis" (an hilarious term) and the so-called "big bang" are irrelevant to any discussion of evolution. Evolution cannot take place until live is present. How it got there, and cosmic origins, are simply not relevant. The god squad bang on about those things because they have nothing to offer in the way of evidence for their beliefs, so they feebly attempt to put the onus of proof on the people whom they habitually sneer at--calling them names rather that debating honestly.

It's easy to arrive at a conclusion concerning the bible which is only 2,000 years old. According to the bible, earth is only 7,000 years old, but we know through science that earth is over 4.5 billion years old, and humans have existed for some 200,000 years. Based on this simple fact, we know that what is professized in the bible has too many errors, omissions and contradictions. The religious folks try to explain all these errors and contradictions, but they can't take away the written word of the bible, no matter how they wish to interpret the passages. Science continues to improve our knowledge of planet earth, and how it has evolved through time. They do with with more evidence than just theory.

I been looking for their evidence all my life. So far, zilch.

I stopped looking when I found too many errors and contradictions in the bible. Thou shalt not kill, but if you know of anyone that doesn't believe in me, slay them! Ain't going to jail for some stupid direction from a 2000 year old book. No god is allowed to be that stupid.
