Zed, again, this is meaningless to me. Telling me that evolution is just true is like telling an atheist that you are God. He will laugh in your face unless you give him some proof.


The point wasn't to simply say "this is how things are". The point was to say "this is what the theory states". You presented an argument against what you thought the theory stated, but you were wrong and I was telling you so.

You seem to think that bacteria are simpler than humans and should therefore have less DNA if evolution is true. Since they do not have less DNA evolution must be false. By modus tollens this is a valid argument, but it is not sound because your premise is wrong. Bacteria are not intrinsically simpler than humans. Your argument fails. Try again.

That's because he hasn't tried to define "complexity" or "information" in any way that we can demonstrate an example of it. So we're just throwing ideas out there and he's constantly moving the goalpost. I don't really know what he's looking for. I don't think he does either.

People, iRakodai, need to learn how to summarize and paraphrase their "evidence" and not just copy and paste. Or at the very least place them in links.

Could this guy be a troll? I mean, he is constantly moving the 'goalpost', he rejects all evidence and logic with anti-logic, he also claims that his internet can't handle it if he edited his post, sounds like an excuse to multipost.

Kind of funny how Creationist logic is so flawed that attempting to civilly discuss it is almost indistinguishable from trolling.

Well, I think that evolution happens at random, I mean, we evolved since the Earth began to have life, we evolved from, fish, then we evolved into amphibions then reptiles, then we evolved into mammals, then mammal like reptiles, then to tiny mammals, then to monkeys, cave men, and then actual humans. I mean, we evolved from alot of things, it may be from millions of years of animals and habitats, I think it was actually from habitat, food, and smarts, if it weren't that, then what else, if we didn't have any of those, we wouldn't be here.

To be fair, it's a long thread now.

I thought we were suppose to answer if you were for it or against it?

I took the time to read it!!!

@iRakodai:
You need to learn to analyse the information you have been given and post it in a sensible, cogent manner, rather than grabbing a page, copying everything, and chucking it down. There was a particular post where Exilement had put down about an A4 page worth of stuff, and to address THE ENTIRE THING you copied a page from a website. Are you honestly telling me that that page had THE EXACT information to address his posts?
In a debate, you need to break down an opponents points, and address each one individually, rather than spewing internet vomit everywhere. If you actually learn something about your subject, you can LEARN to address your opponents arguments, rather than blatantly failing to in the way you have. Read the internet pages. Learn. Post answers IN YOUR OWN WORDS to argue against their points. PLEASE!

I'm going to have to agree with Scarecrow on this one.

Oh my god, this fucking thread.
