Re: Dawkins' "The Greatest Show on Earth" drives home that macroevolution is fact

Furthermore, if your such a fucking expert on evolution Tanngrisnir3 why the hell do you spend 8 hours a day posting here? surely you would be in some Colgate laboratory trying to prove evolution as fact.

The fact you subscribe to Dawkins speaks volumes.

It is entirely possible that some scientist somewhere will find verifiable evidence that some aspect of evolution is wrong. When that happens you change the theory to incorporate the new information. It happens all the time with all kinds of science and scientific laws, theories and hypothesis. The true difference between science and religion is that those who have religious beliefs tend to stop looking when god can be the answer.
There are no errors in the scientific process UNLESS you're trying to manufacture a idea or theory.

You don't come up with an idea and then look back on it trying to find the errors, that's the EXACT opposite of the scientific process.

Error and scientific process should NEVER be used in the same sentence.

Hell people are willing to accept evolution as fact but they dont know if its a constant, spontaneous etc.. All they know is they hate religion and evolution is fact.

You don't accept theory as fucking fact........That's ignorance at its finest. When evolution can be fully explained in every way shape and form and there are no more questions to be asked ONLY THEN will it be a fact and all questions will be moot but until then their are plenty of questions that remain unanswered.
Your complete and utter ignorance at how science works is absolutely mind blowing. Evolution will always be a scientific theory. Always. It will never be a scientific law ever. Just as gravity will always be a scientific theory. Scientific theory is much, much, much different then the philosophical use of the word theory and you're confusing the two.

Get thee to a third grade science class, sir.

I would love to see that little bastard bash Islam where hes at, he doesn't have the fucking balls to do that does he?
Did you read one of his books? He actually points out in the very beginning of 'God delusion' that for him there's no big difference between any of the monotheistic religions...

So, that's no reason to redundantly select Christianity as his prime example.

He only uses Christianity for his own safety and because its PC to bash Christianity in 2009.

Coming from a society characterized by chritianity it's not a surprise for me that he takes his examples from there. Anyway, from what I've read he rightfully bashes anybody believing in omnipotent higher beings... be it 'God' or the Flying spaghetti monster!

Anyone who denies this conclusion, despite the massive amount of evidence supporting said conclusion, falls into the same category as the Geocentrists and Flat Earthers, two other ancient pseudo-sciences.

when they have the common ancester, give me a call...until then he spend some time telling me who created the common ancestor......

What type of argument is this???

It all comes down to EVIDENCE, now evolution does NOT have enough evidence for it to be accepted as "fact" as it is today.

Gravity can be demonstrated for fucks sake, now demonstrate evolution for me, can you fucking do that?

I'm not the fucking ignorant one here...

Now there is no conclusive evidence that evolution exists or has ever existed in man.

NONE!!!!!!

I can demonstrate gravity can you demonstrate evolution??????

OH yeah that just happens to be a minor problem, NO evidence and you cant recreate it in experiments.

MMMMMM

I don't blindly accept ANYTHING.

Hell, I'm not even against the idea of evolution BUT I'm certainly not going to accept it as fact, especially when their are a lot of questions that remain unanswered that NEED to be answered for me to accept it as fact.

Seriously, go check out a third grade science class. It sounds like it will totally blow your mind. Or at least totally blow whatever is inside of your head.

Re: Dawkins' "The Greatest Show on Earth" drives home that macroevolution is fact

I would love to know if evolution is a constant or is it spontaneous?

Can you evolution experts answer that?

Naw, you cant because the evidence to answer that question DOESN'T EXIST!!!!!!
