Uh oh. An evolution thread. We know what this means.

These creationist goons make thinking conservatives look bad.

If anyone does not believe in Darwinism, i'll take them on a tour in the Museum of Natural History and explain it.

"Darwinism teaches that we are accidental byproducts of purposeless natural processes that had no need for God,..."

"Darwinism" teaches nothing of the sort. Evolution is an explanation of, to be brief, how we got here. It describes a theorized mechanism, one which is perfectly compatible with Christianity.

Evolution and Faith are neither enemies nor mutually exclusive - they are different discliplines addressing different aspects of human existence and thought.

'Flat-earth', er... 'Young-earth' Creationists are (in my opinion) fools who are either too daft to understand the principle of evidence gathering and logical analysis, or who have willfully chosen to ignore scientific evidence owing usually to acceptance at an early age of a clearly erroneous, rote religious dogma.

[ClearCase_guy]

The truth is Darwinism is not a scientific theory, but a materialistic creation myth masquerading as science. It is first and foremost a weapon against religion – especially traditional Christianity.

It's interesting to see someone with a PhD in Biology take this approach.

If I were a Darwinist, I would be afraid. Very afraid.

If I was silly enough to believe this article, I would be afraid, very afraid.

OK. You asked for a fight? I'll GIVE you a fight!!!

So after 150 years, Darwinists are still looking for evidence – any evidence, no matter how skimpy – to justify their speculations.

Actually, they're not. They're trying to nail down the difficult relationships using the new genetic tools. As in, how many phyla of animals are there?

That's what makes the creationists' story line so difficult to maintain. Facts just aren't relevant to creationists. They'll still be writing this story 100 years from now, 1000 years from now, and 10,000 years from now.

After that, no one will remember what the argument was about.

Here we go again... :( The earth is at the center of the universe. Spontaneous generation creates rats. Anyone who disagrees with these things is a liberal atheist. Why science itself is liberal! Let's just abandon all science, live in huts, and ignore any challenge to our orthodoxy.

Good heavens, it's 2006, and we're still debating if evolution is real. Sad but true. And for the record, I am a staunch Christian.

That WON'T happen until Jesus comes back really really pissed off..
Its THEN the dialectic backstroke will start..

[tacticalogic]

The truth is Darwinism is not a scientific theory, but a materialistic creation myth masquerading as science. It is first and foremost a weapon against religion – especially traditional Christianity. Evidence is brought in afterwards, as window dressing.

And there you have it. Darwin was not a scientist, but an atheist bent on the destruction of all religion masquerading as a scientist.
