Macro evolution is a legitimate scientific term but you just aren't using right. Macro evolution is just micro evolution over a greater period of time. 4 billions year is a long time.
Remember, I am aware of computer models and how they are used to obfuscate in plenty of fields of scientific research.

Oh I forgot! You're scared of the COMputerz ModelZ when they aren't beneficial to you. I love it! You have to resort to the conspiracy theory once your arguments have run out!

How very convenient..... Indeed.....

The only conspiracy theory (or just BS theory) is global warming...

But you don't trust or believe in modern evidence for evolution. SO obviously you have some sort of bias or grievance against it.

What I want to know is which person voted for "No, teach only Intelligent Design" in the thread poll. Too funny. They must be joking.

Well he uses the word 'theory' incorrectly too when he says 'evolution is still a theory'. A scientific theory is an explanation of the facts. It doesn't ever becomes anything else other than a theory in science. It doesn't become a fact. It doesn't become a Law.

Once again, for those who think evolution is 'just a theory':

Evolution is a fact. The Theory of Evolution is an explanation of the fact of evolution.

There were NO computer models in any of the studies I've linked to that used fMRI. But then you might know that if you ever actually read any of them. Seems to be a habit of yours to ignore the facts presented and make up your own 'facts' to knock down (ie strawman fallacy).

What's even funnier, is you don't even seem to read your OWN links and get the facts right either.

You really are a funny dude.

I wonder if he thinks the evidence for evolution is some kind of 'liberal' conspiracy or agenda?

He called my referring to Richard Lenksi's work as observable evidence of evolution, 'absurd' and an 'analogy' and 'watching a bacterial infection'.

Which doesn't make any sense at all if he had any real understanding of evolution or science. (or had read the link I provided to the experiments)

Funny dude.

No I don't think they were joking. My guess would be the guy who said this:
Quote:
Exactly what has happened! We have been teaching "unproven junk" for years!

I laugh when I read (from you leftists) that evolution is scientific fact. The problem is that none of you really understand what "evolution" means. We do not see a species "evolve" into an entirely different species. And, I'm sorry, but man did not "evolve" from apes. We still have apes, and they look much like they always have.

The assertion that higher forms "evolved" from "lower forms" (and those, from "pond slime") is just plain silly, and violates the laws of physics.

But, believe what you want. I couldn't care less. Be a fool, if you want to be. No skin off my nose.
I'm still laughing at someone who tells 'leftists' that they don't really understand what evolution means and then makes these stunning comments:

"We still have apes, and they look much like they always have." and "it violates the laws of physics"

or this poster:


Quote:
Bible teaches Adam came from dirt.. guess what.. everything created on earth come from the ground..

Liberals and those who think intelligent design could not be fact would rather rely on man's discovery even though they keep changing what the believe to be fact. Fact is , man doesn't know much.
