Obviously evolution could be completely false and just happen to explain NEARLY EVERYTHING in the natural world EXTREMELY WELL. Of course…what is your alternative theory? Evolution fits the data so well that there is actually no word that adequately describes those-theories-which-we-believe-to-be-correct-and-possess-remarkably-mind-blowingly-great-explanatory-power-but-have-an-infinitesimally-small-chance-of-not-being-so. It would seem more profitable that the hardcore religious zealot would just say HURR HURR GOD DONE IT(it being evolution. I have never understood why more religious folks do not take the catholic route and just say God works in many ways(though perhaps the answer lies in the subsequent superfluousness of a Creator in his universe if one accepts natural selection).

But really, how does postulating an unseeable, unknowable divine entity who could be supremely benevolent or thoroughly evil solve any questions you may have about the origin of anything? It just pushes the questions back one level? Who in turn created the creator? If the creator does not require explanation, why does the universe require one?

The very fact that creationists still talk about ‘macro’ and ‘microevolution’ as if they were two different things is extremely telling of their vested interest in not believing that we all have a common ancestor(we do). Evolution is simply progressive changes in the genetic code. Broadly speaking, there is no difference between primate speciation and the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. The continued references made to the impossibility of observing major phenotype-level changes in animals is simply false, as scientists examining the fossil record have found what appear to be numerous transitional forms, verified carbon dating, comparative anatomy and now DNA testing.

Lesser minds are filled with the quotations of others.

The very fact that you quote my entire post and say nothing but it is based on faith when it makes many provable, testable claims(kind of like scientific theories) is a sad parody of the religious zealots ignorance of the scientific process.

Did you find those quotes on the TalkOrigins website, push?

Well, I would think so. You definitely have proven that there are overzealous evolutionists out there who probably shouldn’t be trusted. I can’t argue with that. But that wasn’t quite what I wanted, though, was it?

Unless, of course, those people are all contributors at TalkOrigins. See, you made a jab about TalkOrigins being as or more religious in its atheism as any conventional religion ever was. This was in response to my posting a link with responses to virtually all creationist complains, as if that somehow easily dismissed their numerous rebuttals.

That is what I wanted proof of - that the TalkOrigins website, itself, is full of loony bias like AiG. For you to back up your earlier assertion. Providing quotes from crazy evolutionists doesn’t do this, unless they happen to officially represent TalkOrigins in either vision or content.

I’m only asking for this because I can’t honestly expect you to tackle every single topic they address through that link. That’s just way too many sticks to expect any single person to fetch for a casual debate.
