Toxic Toads Evolving Super-Fast

The fact that their movement has increased, and the fact that physical changes in these frogs can explain that increase in movement makes it far from nonsensical. Geez you are denying even the type of evolution creationists accept.

[caffe]

yes, that's what i've been saying: those so called "scientists" on these threads who think you can't actually be successful in all scientific fields unless you follow Darwin, are "like totally shallow" lol

"In a nutshell, no one knows what's going to happen. What if we get another Krakatoa type volcanic eruption? All the human efforts to steady the climate would be wasted.

True, but we can't give up on something simply because 'bad things may corrupt our good things'. CO₂ production is not the only way humans can affect an ecology, stripping forests can create deserts, deserts can change airflow and storm paths. Granted the Earth's weather patterns are complex systems thus making it very difficult to predict a specific outcome but we can generalize that certain human activities will cause weather patterns to 'tend' in a specific direction.

The cause of the global change is less important than our reaction to it. If we can affect a change we need to perform cost and risk analyses to determine if our current actions need to be changed.

In case you missed my point.

The anti-evolutionists on this forum use a broad dictionary definition of 'theory' 'evolution' and a number of other terms that normally have narrow meaning in the sciences. They use these definitions simply as a means to make a point in the debate about science. See the connection? We are discussing science, therefore the terms used need to be used in their scientific contexts and with their scientific meaning. Any other use is at best uninformed and at worst dishonest.

I am not being bossy, nor an obsessive Internet hag by insisting that the antievolutionists at least pretend to honesty in the debate. If they insist on playing semantic games then it is no longer a debate but a free for all BS session.

"toadying to the GM?

I just noticed your tagline. Quite stupid.

Sorry, but as you are well aware, the role of sycophant has already been taken.

[Millee]

Snow White? Is that the right fairy tale?

You just wrote that to taunt me, didn't you? ;op

[phantomworker]

I actually did think of you when I wrote that! ROFL! But I doubted that you read these Evo threads. I thought, boy, I hope I got that fairy tale right, because Millee reads Snow White so often she would get on my case. LOL!

Does Snow White kiss the frog? Or is that someone else?

[phantomworker]

I just noticed your tagline. Quite stupid.

LOL! I like that.

[Millee]

Well...you just lay back, get snuggled under your bankie and I'll tell you all about the tale of Snow friggin White! :o)

Actually you're correct, I do stay away from threads with:
1. Big Words; or
2. Threads that are not juvenile in nature. (I gotta stay with my strengths!)

I found it because I was checking to see if you were on tonight. :oD

[phantomworker]

LOL! Snow White! I can tell you all about Pinoccio's nose. Xena was on this thread earlier, too, trying to name a rock band, called the Toxic Frogs. You guys should hang out here more often. There are a lot of trolls that are pretty funny.

It's been a slow evening... All the fun threads seem to stop before I get home.

[Millee]

It is pretty slow in the evenings. You need to prioritize better and stop doing so much "work-stuff" during the day & freep more. But, I probably won't be thinking that whenever I'm busted and standing in the unemployment line.

Dash is online too, did you get her ping?

[phantomworker]

(You are one of the sharpest people I know Millee. Funnier than heck! LOL)

[phantomworker]

Yeah, I voted. Couldn't think of anything witty to say, except all VP's seem to be buffoons! By definition! They aren't supposed to outshine the Prez. :)

[Millee]

Aawwwww...go on.....please!

[phantomworker]

You never did say, was it Snow White who kissed the frog? Who turned into the handsome prince? Where were the 7 dwarfs at this time?

[Dashing Dasher]

Video Camera?

[phantomworker]

Video Camera? That went right by me. LOL!

[Millee]

No..

Chapter 794 - After Snow White took a bite from the poisoned apple (this is where I interject about not taking food from strangers) she laid in a glass coffin out in a meadow of flowers.....

Chapter 1,134 - A prince came riding by and was so captivated by her beauty that he kept a constant vigil by her side. (FREAK) The dwarfs, after seeing how much the prince loved her agreed to let the prince take SW (stupid wench) back to his castle (to do what exactly, I don't know. Did I mention FREAK) When the coffin was moved, the poisoned apple dislodged from her throat and she awakened to see the handsome frea prince and they got married and lived happily ever after! (Why do I set my daughter up for such disappointment?)

I don't think Disney has made a story out of the frog yet, but I'm sure when they do I will be well versed in the saga.

[Dashing Dasher]

You asked:

Where were the 7 dwarfs at this time?

I replied...

They were using the video camera.

[Dashing Dasher]

Frog moved to France.
