Funny way evos have of dismissing evidence. So long as someone does not accept it, it does not count.

My point was that the scientist making the claim regarding birds and dinosaurs simply believes that evolution occured differently than the method commonly accepted. My statement had nothing to do with denying the claim regarding birds and dinosaurs. As usual, your response has nothing to do with what I actually said and only to do with what you pretend that I said.

Since I'm not a "creationist" I really don't care what is or isn't a "point" for them.

I've only ever seen bits and pieces of that one, so I'm on the lookout for whenever it's on again..

It's funny, it's absurb, it's good. I usually just tape the entire "Adult Swim" schedule on Sunday nights (cartoon channel) and watch it over the next few days.

Well, I see they killed the pics, let's try this one:

My point was ...

No, that was not your point. Your point was that because the discoverer of this is still an evolutionist the evidence does not disprove another evolutionist assumption. Every day we see more and more evolutionst assumptions disproven. If evolution were science then the findings of science would be proving evolutionist assumptions. They are not, they are disproving them.

If one views a chicken skeleton and a dinosaur skeleton through binoculars they appear similar, but close and detailed examination reveals many differences, Feduccia said.

Binoculars?

Sure. How else would you look at chicken skeletons? Haven't you ever been birdwatching? ;)

The evidence is evidence a common assumption regarding evolutionary descent. I admit it here, and I never stated otherwise. Of course, you're known for lying about the statements of others, so your misrepresentation of my words is no surprise.

corrected. If science worked like religion,

When evolutionists get shown to be wrong, they always bring up religion. The argument here is not between religion and evolution. The argument here is between the pseudo-science of evolution and real science. Real science examines and tests the evidence before assertions. Pseudo-science like evolution makes wild assertions with no evidence. This is what the article shows quite well - evolution is pseudo-science.

"This creates a new problem for those who insist that dinosaurs were ancestors of modern birds. How can a bird hand, for example, with digits two, three and four evolve from a dinosaur hand that has only digits one, two and three? That would be almost impossible."

Nothing is impossible for evolution. It is more magical than the most primitive religion.

You must only close your eyes tight and believe, believe, believe!

Seems to me if creationism was real science it would be taught in schools right now and evolution would be pushing to be included in what's taught.

The argument here is not between religion and science. The argument here is between science and the pseudo-science of evolution. The argument here is about what science has shown to be true and what the pseudo-science of evolution claims to be true. The article amply shows that evolution is pseudo-science and that its claims are totally contradicted by the facts.

The individual words I understand, thanks; however, you seem to be incapable of creating grammatical sentences.

cm...

Keep up the good work and give me a ping when you've mastered "coherent thought."

fC...

Any particular reason your bio page is blank?

Because your mind is consumed by evo schlockism nothing resonates in an empty space?

A guy over here always inebriated(fairy science) died in a drainage ditch with a broken neck. Nobody was around like the the times before to pull him out.

Your tank must have a permanent drain/hole in it.

I know another guy who pushed his junker(evolution) off of a cliff into the ocean because the only value was the insurance pay out for theft.

Ping me back when you get your brain donation---transplant!

You don't know your departure-exit bottom from a whole in the ground and your going to correct----criticize me?

To: f.Christian

The fact that the nomenclature of the political spectrum is
is reversed in the USA indicates the radical nature of our republic. The radical idea of the 18th century was reducing the power of central authority in favor of individual liberties. American liberals of today seem more interested
in returning those hard won individual freedoms to the central government. (I deliberatly use the term central rather than federal because I am a Southerner who recoqnizes the difference.)

American conservatives today are Classical Liberals.

That should be "The evidence is evidence against a common assumption ..."
