Re: Evolution

It kind of pisses me off when religious freaks chalange you to find proof to support your ideas and when you do they disregard them as irrelevant. Seems unethical doesnt it..

Re: Evolution

If someone hasn't studied biology, I guess a lack of knowledge may account for them not believing in evolution, but if one has studied biology, especially in higher education, rejecting evolution as a myth is doing a big dishonour to academia and knowledge in general.

Well thats what xxxxed up about it all. There are tons of well educated people who seem to rely on fairytales rather then science. Its not that they are ignorent its more like they are morons.

All gloves off. You aren't using your own brain, you're getting help from your atheist cult following.

My cult following? I assure you that that professor at Occidental and lecturer at CalTech is not my follower. You rely on stupid webpages that anyone with web access can create to back you up. I went to an expert with my question. Unless you want me to bring you fossils I dug myself, whether I find the information myself or someone else points me to it, it will still be from another person. Evidence doesn't exist in a vacuum in my brain. Besides, does it make it any less credible or convincing because it came from an expert in the field rather than me? What an odd criticism.




Haykakan, given we're having a dialog with such persons, how about we not call all who won't recognize evolution morons? Forum rules and all? Thanks!
Besides, I don't think that's it; I think it's largely ignorance (they're educated in other fields and have avoided science) and confirmation bias.

When nothing will change one's mind, then s/he ceases to be thinking critically. That's a sign to disengage because you'd just be wasting your time with them.

Re: Evolution

Nah Sigggie i know some biologists who are in the inteligent design camp and they and all like them are morons indeed because they ignore solid proof and propogate unfounded and unsubstantiated claims. If one ceases thinking critically then one should walk out to the garden and call oneself a vegitable.

I already wrote for the millionth time that evolution as a biological process has nothing to do with humans morphing from sub humans. Most of Israel's population believes the earth is 6000 yrs old and God made man out of clay. And they rule the world

So according to you humans just appeared out of nowhere?

The problem with most intelligent design/evolution arguments comes down to the same thing. WE WILL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE AND DIALOGUE IS, MUCH LIKE BASEBALL, A PASS TIME.

I know where I came from... can't say the same for a lot of bastards out there.

There has not been, since Darwin first proposed the theory, a single discovery that was inconsistent with evolution. There's no controversy in science about this.

Haykakan, I wouldn't call people with BS in Bio, biologists necessarily. In the higher echelons of academia, there's no controversy. Even the Pope accepts evolution.
