True. But, my original purpose was to explain to you why people don't often post the proof requested. Again, and for the last time: 1) Just because posters don't post proof doesn't mean it doesn't exist. 2) Posters often are frustrated by commentors requesting immediate feedback. In addition, you m...

Okay, so in my own watching of this t.v. series, South Park has a lot of religious base in it, however they make fun of it and they bash it, and they even throw in things like "Heaven is an imagined concept to make us feel better, the real Heaven is here on earth", so basically and obviou...

The fact that many (if not most) clonal species in nature are species with high ploidy levels is a major difference between natural and artificial clones. Due to the presence of so many triploid, tetraploid, hexaploid, etc. clonal species, it is though that these clonal species may have originated t...

Natural selection only causes features in a population to oscillate, not to go off in one direction (the finches, for example). False...basic sexual selection strategies are clear proof of this. What you're describing is known as stablilizing selection...under this form of sexual selection, an inte...

Is it? You CAN PROVE evolution??? You nailed me!!! Bad choice of words on my part...I should have said "I cannot convince you to believe the validity of observations supporting evolution" or something like that...not trying to tell anyone I can prove evolution!! And you are an atheist now...

Okay, thereal (Hitler), please PROVE evolution for us, oh, please do so, my evolved heart yearns to know the ultimate truth. If we are not of you, and think of you, and do of you, you kill us, like Hitler. Oh, also a religion basher. In the realm of science, I do implore to consider us in the conte...

Not surprisingly, evolutionists site evolutionists as sources. Amazing. You can't do this according to your own rules which I am breaking. Not when addressing religion because, as I said many times, scholarly scientific research and publication takes no stance on religion. So, thereal says that the...

My source is Icons of Evolution for this.^^ Not surprisingly you chose a work written by a creationist to validate your thoughts on science. Here is a commentary written on this "reference work": http://www.ncseweb.org/icons/ I think the following statement from this article says it best:...

When it comes to evolution, the scientific method is disgarded. You don't start with an observation, make a hypothesis, experiment, check data, and make a conclusion...in this arena, you come to the conclusion, find the observation (through circular reasoning at times) that supports your views, and...

Really? Any evidence for that? I'm still working on finding the citation for the specific article I have in mind, but more than one exists; I have the article abstract but not the actual article, but I'm working on it. In the meantime, so you don't think I'm trying to dodge the question, here is so...

If we aren't "scientific" enough for you, why did you join a Christian forum? I mean, you are in a university hearing lectures from "professors" that have a biased and opinionated view of what THEY think should be taught. It goes from there, students get taught that, and if they...
