The thing to do is not play his game. Play Ours. He wants evidence - present it. He wants to argue about the evidence - point out where that is pointless nit -picking.

It's not about him - it's about others looking in, wondering what is the case for evolution and what is the case for creation. We have shown convincing evidence for evolution. Creationism has shown no evidence, only showed that it does not understand the science and does not want to.

Euse...I mean Omega, did us a great service when he said Creation doesn't need evidence. It does; but Creationists think it doesn't, because they believe that a Faith -claim is good enough to be the default theory and all they need to do it deny everything and refuse to listen, and they win by default.

Now this is a must watch for those who accept evolution and those who have doubts. I did myself in my earlier years and I was an atheist then. I had heard a lot of arguments that it was wrong, and while the arguments seemed bit thin, I couldn't recall any disproofs.

Why? Because evolution -theory is not taught in school. Creationists say it is because the biological science uses the facts - which were there and accepted long before Darwin.

I suspect that my doubts and lack of knowledge is the problem. Evolution isn't really taught and it probably high time it was. I had to learn it here - and Only becasue creationists forced me to by asking questions.

It's a poor show when atheist have to do (unpaid) the job education should be doing.

If I didn't answer your earlier point today, I missed it. Make it aqain and I will respond.
Typical Eusebius ploys. When asked a question, demand that your unanswerable question is answered before answering the question.

He doesn't stick around long enough to be banned. Just disappears and re-appears as someone else. Transponder and I have been observing him for a long time. Omega is the ex-Eusebius....amongst other aliases.

Yes, thanks. I was tempted to post that, but I thought I'd indulged myself enough.

There was another one that made the important point that Creationists have made capital out of peddling the idea that one cannot be an evolutionist and a Christian. In fact a great number of Christians are evolutionists and evolutionists are Christians. What they are peddling is not Christianity but Genesis literalism.

Talk is cheap. Show me where I am ignorant. Please include the science that you think supports your OPINION.

Shiloh is right. We have provided convincing evidence for evolution. You ignore it. The videos posted provide all the evidence any reasonable person could want. Everything - expanding universe, evolution of species with morphology, transitional forms and DNA, You have not only had all the evidence anyone could ask, but have provided not a scrap of your own.

It is blindingly obvious to all that you are ignoring the evidence, repeating the same debunked claims, denying everything and simply doing the utterly delusionary bottom line of the Creationists: ignore any evidence that contradicts the Bible.

Seen the Unquestionable evidences thread lately? It is now Unquestionable evidences that the Quran is the work of men, and men who did not understand the world as well as we (thanks to science, and no thanks to Holy Books) do now. Is the evidence accepted? Not a bit of it. Just more 'Explain this...Explain that.." Faith -based denial.

That's what you are doing here. But You deserve a rep really, for giving us the chance to show just how creationism in far too many US states is exploting Religious faithfulness to shoehorn Anto -science fifth columnists into position of authority where they lie and cheat in a desperate effort to indoctrinate the kids with their cultish nonsense.

Because Old mate..It's you , I'd bet My last years of life on it..this isn't Christianity, it is a looney cult that has been as successful as Scientology, even though it - like scientology - can be totally and utterly shown to be a fraud and nonsense. But those who believe it simply stick their fingers in their ears.

You have been shown where you are utterly ignorant of evolution -theory and science. You understand nothing of it and do not want to. Talk may be cheap, but Faith -based denial is worthless.
