All of the biological discoveries you mentioned are definitely in line with the Theory of Evolution, just like certain discoveries are in line with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (which is much harder to verify than his Special relativity Theory).

Do you know of any biological discoveries that cast any kind of doubt on the Theory of Evolution?
That rabbit that was found in the cambrian. Oh wait, we haven't found that yet, but that would really throw a wrench into the works.

Speciation in real time

Your ignorance is just sad. Ask your doctor why you need to take all of your antibiotics when prescribed. That is evolution, observable, verifiable and demonstrated in your own body.

Only the irrational, the intellectually impaired and the incredibly stupid can’t see that evolution theories such as theory of change by decent through modification are the only demonstrable means of explaining the wide diversity of life that we observe on this planet.



All of what you have claimed are LIES and just demonstrate your glaring ignorance.



I'm afraid it is, Skippy. Deal with it.
OK, hear we go goat. I did not mention any belief system I have, so what are you talking about? I have read every single lame proof of evolution there is and that's exactly what they are LAME. Ask my DR.??? My oldest son is a top specialist and guess what? He does not believe in the theory of evolution in the least. Further more he is an atheist. He is an excellent scientist and what he says is, "The theory falls to pieces at too many points to take it seriously. It therefore must be incorrect. I don't believe in God but that does not mean I believe in this theory that has no proofs that stand up to scrutiny". By the way he is a top Dr. in his field and well respected in the teaching hospital where he works.

Every few years the evolutionists come up with some new idea to try to prop up their faith and these proofs are always as lame as the last one. Not long ago some highly placed evolutionists said that life must have been brought to earth by aliens and "Planted here". Another group of evolutionists have said the we never see evolution AT ALL among observable species because that is not the way it works. It works like this. Every once in a while, like every 10,000 years or so there is an EVOLUTION EVENT. At this time many new species just spring up from who knows where. LOL. I'm serious. They are so desperate to hold this nonsence up that they will postulate anything at all.
In Darwin's time, it was thought that single cell organisms were very simple things indeed. It seemed possible that the origin of life could be just as Darwin thought. Some kind of spark in the primordial soup, bla, bla, bla. Well, now we know that even the the most simple single celled life form is complex to the uttermost. It has fully functioing DNA that is the perfect blueprint for IT"S kind. It has the capability to reproduce it's self. It has complex cellular functions that fuel the cell, etc. These facts destroy Darwin's ideas on the "Origin of species".

You are a typical evolutionist. You can't provide any proofs at all so you have to resort to name calling and calling into question the intellect of your opponent just because that opponent is not a blind follower of an unscientific, discredited idea.

If it walks like a duck, etc. etc. You are definitely a theist. Evidence is all through this message.

Sorry, but scientific theories don't deal in proofs, so there are no proofs to read. You are lying.

Irrelevant hearsay is irrelevant. Next.

More irrelevant hearsay. Why hasn't this doctor picked up his 1.2 million dollar Nobel Prize for falsifying evolution. You again are lying. Also, argument from authority, a logical fallacy.

Quote:

I think you are lying. See below what I have quoted in Red.

Quote:

Again, scientific theories outside of mathematics don't deal in proof, only falsification. You are not doing too well, grasshopper.

Good for him. This claim, however, is irrelevant to this discussion.

No it doesn't. You have no earthly idea how evolution works.

Really. BTW, only an rabid creationist would use the term "kind" to describe a lifeform. You are busted, little fundie.

And you are a typical creationist who has never met a lie he didn't like. You have no facts, no data to support your ridiculous creationism, so you MUST resort to messages like yours, a message which is one of the most blatant examples of ignorance I have ever seen.

It's hard to get the point across, I guess.

You don't need to believe in evolution. No need to. It won't change a thing whether someone believes in it or not.

You know gravity is just a theory.

I rest my case. You have nothing, nada, zip. I don't need to defend myself to you. It was you who said,"ask your Dr." I was just pointing out that not all Dr.s are brainwashed by the darwinists. It's a lot like stepping in a hornets nest to challenge the idiocy of Darwinism and the blantant lies and misrepresentations that pass their muster as "Science". You have no explanation as to why any evidence at all does not exist so you deflect to purile attacks on my character. Like I already said Darwinism is a matter of faith for the believer. It is however a faith in nothing. A faith that is easily debunked and a faith that changes day by day as new facts and new observations make it less and less viable as an intellegent stand to take.

I asked you to ask your doctor why you need to take ALL your antibiotics. If he doesn't know why, they I seriously suggest that his parents or keepers sue his medical school for malpractice and demand a refund. The answer is a simple and clear example of evolution in action.

It's just as grating when someone argues in favor of Creationism because <insert vague first cause speculation>, and in favor of tax cuts because some studies suggest that it may improve economic recovery in some instances...but for Big Bang Cosmology, Evolutionary Theory and Global Warming Theory? No...I demand absolute proof that they are true, beyond any doubt (not even "reasonable doubt"), or else they are false in my book. Never mind that I don't apply this ridiculous standard of proof (that nothing could possibly pass) to anything else.
I demand absolute proof that the theory of evolution is valid.

Got any? (I mean evidence that I cannot easily debunk as junk science - which perfectly describes the theory of evolution).

Demand until you turn purple. The only thing your demands uncover is your ignorance.

What ignorance?

The ignorance demonstrated by evolutionists?

By the way - I am leaving you alone - I only responded to a direct question asked by you of myself.

Enjoy your retirement - I still have 30 years - and even then I think that I will still work.

I hope Social Security is privatized by then - and the same with Medicare.

Repeal ObamaCare - elect Mitt Romney!
