By all means, give any bit of evidence to the contrary. Anyone that can disprove evolution will win a Nobel Prize and their name will be engraved in every new biology textbook for all time.

How did you go from your previous comment to this one? Let me remind you: You Stated there is no excuse for Creationists to exist blah blah blah to which I replied.

You say that as if you have absolute authority over knowledge In that matter. You should chat with Professor John Lennox, you might do half as well as Dawkins and Hitchens did, but I sadly doubt that.

No where in rational thought does my comment suggest disproving or even disagreeing with Evolution. My comment was to rebuke your Absolute Authority on the subject matter by dismissing as irrelevant those with differing views than your own. Hence I guide you to Oxford Professor John Lennox, who has successfully debated with Dawkins, Hitchens and others without them being able to pull the same arrogant dismissiveness often used by them.

So do your own homework :P

I've done my homework, which is why I know Creationism doesn't have a shred of credibility. For well over a hundred years people have been trying to break the theory of evolution without success. There is absolutely no chance that life began or came about in the way that Creationists describe. All of the evidence directly contradicts the Biblical Creation myth.

If humans evolved from unintelligent ape-like creatures, then why are there still Creationists?

If your a creationist, you're full blown retard. There is no sugar coating it.

Seems that you continue to toss out your Absolute Authority, but your own words undermine that very concept. It is ridiculous to tout Evolution as a theory of Origin, because it is not. Not even a novice evolutionary biologist would even make such a simple blunder, yet you throw it around as the Rosetta stone of your wisdom. Science has no explanation of Origins of life, you know this. The best bet so far is "it came to earth from somewhere else". Which is no explanation at all, so please don't throw your religion in my face as the only vested substantiation when it has none at all.

The do your homework comment was in response to this...

Even you should be able to understand the connection that I simply meant go review what was suggested rather than expecting me to spoon feed you the information. I know you're open minded enough to hear Lennox out, so go ahead.

You make a strong argument here. Looks like you have put a lot of time and thought in to your opinion. Sheeple much?

First Bold: Only creationists have this problem.

Second Bold: Science has a couple. This statement merely shows your ignorance on the subject.

Quote from Berkley University on Evolution and Scientific Origins of life theory:

Evolutionary theory deals mainly with how life changed after its origin. Science does try to investigate how life started but these considerations are not the central focus of evolutionary theory.
Although several lines of evidence are consistent with the hypothesis that life began near deep sea vents,it is far from certain: the investigation continues and may eventually point towards a different site for the origin of life.

And you say Science has an explanation for origins of life? That is your ignorance sir, but there are several Scientific theories:

Electric Spark theory
Community Clay theory
Deep Sea Vents Theory
Chilly Start Theory
RNA world theory
Simple beginnings theory
Panspermia theory

Try to keep up, I know its hard, but as I stated Evolution is not about Origins of life, it just isn't. And since Berkley University disagrees with your Rock solid understanding of explination vs theory, I'm going to go with Science on that one.

Scientific theories are explanations that are based on lines of evidence, enable valid predictions, and have been tested in many ways.

No Origin of Life theory has been tested with validity as of yet...

And finally also From Berkley:


Misconception: “Evolution and religion are incompatible.”

Response: Religion and science (evolution) are very different things. In science, only natural causes are used to explain natural phenomena, while religion deals with beliefs that are beyond the natural world.

The misconception that one always has to choose between science and religion is incorrect. Of course, some religious beliefs explicitly contradict science (e.g., the belief that the world and all life on it was created in six literal days); however, most religious groups have no conflict with the theory of evolution or other scientific findings. In fact, many religious people, including theologians, feel that a deeper understanding of nature actually enriches their faith. Moreover, in the scientific community there are thousands of scientists who are devoutly religious and also accept evolution.


Now can't we all just get along.
