Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker
And yet...and yet you would have us believe that, basically, a rock decides it wants to be alive in the future, so it, somehow, figures that out and actually does this amazing feat that even these so intelligent, highly qualified and motivated "scienctist" creating all the most favorable circumstances, even they cannot achieve...
And....wonder of wonders, this rock also somehow figures out how to create a completely new idea, DNA, to continue rocks becoming alive and striving to continue to live, providing for diversity, blah blah blah...and claim this to be true even though it cannot be proven true, or just as probably if not more probably is untrue... and then DEMAND that all the rest of us study this silliness as if it were absolutely true and also accept it... that is a little just a little dictatorial, would you not agree? At least our side asks you to voluntarily accept it, its not foisted upon us in the schools that, in effect, worship these scientific "pronouncements" as sacred of this small scientific elite and what they say, which is what they say must go...
You talk about sad and childish, and add that dimension of totalitarianism...scary...
Hrm... Well, rocks have been around for about 13 billion something years, and they haven't evolved, so I'm not quite sure where you're getting that from.
The fact that you deny evolution is about as silly as denying gravity. Both are "theories", yet both are supported by an unbelievably high amount of evidence. Your hypothesis has been supported with 'lack' of evidence to the contrary. The fact that you even file your evidenceless beliefs with that of the scientific process is quite troubling.
I also like the "scientists can't create evolution in the lab" argument. It truly shows how clueless you actually are on evolution. First, it has occured in the lab. One of the many cases was fruit flies over 32 generations developing a low tolerance to oxygen conditions that would kill any normal fruit fly.
[source]. Out of the lab is where the real evidence is, we see species changing, adapting, and evolving all the time.
Genetic variance is a concept even you can't deny. You and your sibling may be strikingly different. He may be tall, you short, he has blonde hair, you have brown hair, maybe you have some qualities that don't match your family at all. These variations play a role to your survivability. If you're living in the wild, your brother, being taller or faster, would likely have a higher chance of outliving you, making the chance that he gets to procreate and you don't higher. His children will likely be slightly taller than your children. Pan this out over hundreds of millions of years, millions of generations, and certain genetic mutations will propogate themselves.
We've proven this happens over, and over, and over again with extreme attention to detail. Though considering your complete lack of knowledge on what evolution even is, I expect this explanation to be completely in vain, as you will likely cover your ears, begin shouting "no no no no" and shove your head back in your bible.
So seeing as how you've made your views clear about evolution, you must believe both of the following:
- God is the ultimate trickster. He placed an insurmountable amount of evidence and fossil records in order to trick us into believing the exact opposite of what he wanted us to think.
- The earth and mankind was created 6,000 years ago in the garden of eden, therefore there can be no evolution.
Considering those two viewpoints, I don't think any amount of evidence or logic I could possibly present could make you see the light.
There are now 5 users on my ignore list for this type behavior. Two of them are participating in this thread. Guess who?

This is along the lines of, "there was no holocaust". Welcome to the ignore list. #Bonzai is desparate

I guess it's always easier to block someone rather than provide a thoughtful rebuttal of his hypothesis.
Why exactly are you on a debate site right now?
