Andy9o8 0 #3 July 6, 2010 Moths are like butterflies. One Spanish word for "butterfly" is maricon. Maricon is also Spanish derogatory slang for "homosexual". Are you bashing gays? Are you promoting gays? Are you happy and gay? Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Evolution is real and is still in play everyday, there are holes in the ape-to-man theories however. Man did not evolve from ape. Man and ape evolved from a common species. Creationists see the missing parts of evolution, the times for which no fossils have yet been discovered, and point to that as being proof against evolution and for creation. But that is like spotting a car on I-80 in Wendover, nevada and then spotting the same car on I-80 in Salt Lake City and saying it cannot be the same car because nobody saw it on I-80 at a particular mile marker somewhere along the route even though nobody was there to spot the car. Don't take this personally, lucky. Even though you and I have our disagreements I think you are to intelligent to believe that creationist crap.HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

The only people scratching their heads and going "wtf" are the creationists. Don It would be interesting (if a human life could span the time) to see how long any significant portion of the population holds onto creationism. With the ability to sequence DNA and the resultant ability to map out the tree of life; giving any credence to creationism over evolution is quite simply learned ignorance overriding inate intelligence for the sake of how people feel. Emotions (the cerebral type, not the limbic type) are a lousy tool for evaluating the world. The ability to sequence DNA confirms evolution with no room for doubt.

Actually, I think that getting into molecular biology makes it easier for the creationists and IDists to ply their snake oil. Thing is, molecular biology is ridiculously, obscenely complicated - and the resultant lack of public understanding of it creates a huge playing field for the loonies to operate in. They can basically tell flat out lies and come across as very convincing, because they're using lots of big scientific words and phrases that none of their followers actually understand. Then the snake oil seller can further claim the no-one in the scientific establishment has been able to refute their claims - the beauty being that of course the claims have been refuted, but since the followers don't understand the refutation either, they just continue trusting the guy who agrees with them and says the establishment is talking out of its arse.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

billvon 2,384 #21 July 19, 2010 Response from a creationist to a poster on a political site. I particularly liked the "evolution is supposed to guarantee that all individuals get to procreate" thing. It's like justice - you know, the system where everyone is always innocent. ============= Evolution is a LIE! You are a LIAR and a FRAUD for spreading your bullshit evolution prpaganda! evolution has never been proven to work and it's not even logical. Let me tell you a fun story. My friend's seven year old nephew died of cancer two months ago. How the fuck is that evolution? Evolution is supposed to guarantee that all individuals get to procreate: this is called "fitness" (your word, not mine)! If someone dies at 7, he doesn't get to procreate. This happens all the time. It also proves that evoution doesn't work EVEN BY YOUR OWN FUCKED UP STANDARDS! Why would evolution make people have cancer? what "advantage " do you get from having cancer? Evolutionists have got to be the dumbest fucking retards this side of scientology. Need more proof? How's this: if birds "evolved" magically from dinosaurs (tyranosaurus?), then there should be a creature that's 99% dinosaur and 1% bird, then another thats 98% dinosaur and 2% bird and so on. Am I going too fast for you? It's called basic logic, you shitbrain retard. Now, show me a fossil of a 82/18 dinosaur/bird? Or 61/39? Wait! Maybe they don't exist! How fucking stupid do you have to be to believe something that's obviously bullshit? Did your mommy drop you on your head? You mock people's faith in God when you yourselves have faith in stuff that's not even remotely reasonable. Your probably not really evil, just really fucking stupid and brainwashed. So why dont you pull your head from your ass and look at how retarded your evolution cult really is. and maybe you'l wake up and realize you've been fucked over and defrauded. ============ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
