In your opinion.

I see God's hand in it. You don't. Free will is a wonderful thing.

Well, if there is a reasonable explanation for something without God or with God, I choose without. Occam's Razor and all that...but that really doesn't have a lot to do with the buffoon whose post I cited.

WHICH evolution do you consider to be fact? The theory I was taught (as fact) in school 40 years ago, or one of the more modern ones that has proven the older theories of evolution to be completely absurd?

Evolution is a religion. Anyone who thinks otherwise deserves mockery.

There is only one theory. Science continually updates, unlike Creationism. Just because certain elements of the theory may be modified, does not disprove the theory itself. Evolution is a proven fact. It's been observed both in the lab and in nature. What you guys typically understand as evolution is a strawman version used to discredit it.

I trust you will no longer visit a doctor, seeing as you wouldn't want his medical advice to you be based entirely on a religion which you mock.

Yes. There are plenty of effing nuts of all sorts in the world.

What does this have to do with religion, the stars, or anything whatsoever?

Turn, turn, turn.

That's not a confession. That's the whole point of science. It's what differentiates science from garbage like religion.

Forget her having ANY clue about that... she is talking 10 ft... it is a good thing we humans aren't 10 ft tall, or have ladders.

The moon is made of cheese.

You see this proves science is different than lactose; that is the point of science.

Milk is garbage.
