Yes.

Kind of like another line of mine - when faced with intermediate transitional fossils (e.g., dino-bird series), the Creationist continues to ask whether pink is red or white.

"We've got a whole lot of these folks on this forum...

I have looked at thousands of posts by evolutionists on this forum. I have seen people beg them for proof of macro-evolution, proof of anything supporting evolution, and they can never come up with any.

Now you and your friends will rant and scream at me for saying the above. You will insult me, you will attack my character and use other fould METHODS to try to discredit my statement but this I can assure anyone reading this post:

NOT ONE, NOT ONE EVOLUTIONIST WILL POST PROOF OF MACRO-EVOLUTION - BECAUSE THERE IS NONE. BECAUSE THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY PROOF OF EVOLUTION IN THE 150 YEARS SINCE THE CHARLATAN CHARLES DARWIN WROTE HIS HEATHEN BOOK.

"As Pakicetus and Ambulocetus show."

Oh really?

SHOW ME THE BONES!

More importantly, show me the proof of the evolution. Bones are meaningless. There are millions of species now alive. They range from one celled creatures to the most complicated of all - man. Yet in 20 years of DNA tracing the evolutionists have never been able to show a single straight line between divergent species. In fact, DNA tracing has shown most of the evolutionists assumptions about what species "evolved" from each other as total bunk.

So, the dozen or so speciation links on The Ultimate Resource magically disappeared before you could read them? Or did you just ignore them so that you could, in good conscience, continue to spout the inanities for which you have become infamous?

My vote is for the latter. :)

What evolution teaches is fantasy--anti-gravity---fairy tales. A lot of mass entertainment at movie theatres is based on the suspension of reality...sorta of the art--science of modern public education---mass hype--hypnosis...disappearing reality--magic!

Nope. Evolution is the best model we have to date that describes the diversity and development of life here on this planet. I suggest you really sit down, take a month and read the links that PatrickHenry and Junior have so thoughtfully provided. It may give you a new perspective/outlook on the living world.

Please be more clear. I still am not following your argument.

I've always looked at it this way. If someone cannot say that it is possible that future evidence might discredit a holy book, or that new discoveries might cause one to think that the tenents of a religion are false, or that empirical evidence might discredit a philosophical or religious idea, then the book, tenent or idea is not scientific.

Everything in science is open to future revision based upon new evidence. Everything. If a religious theory cannot abide by the same rule, that it might be seen as false in light of new evidence, then it doesn't ask or answer a scientific question.

If you are expecting coherent discourse from him, you're in for a very long wait.

Hmmmm.. I have always agreed with that. Did I come across wrong? I do not believe in evolution. I "know" evolution is the most valid scientific model we have (it is not a belief system like religion). The physical evidence is overwhelming.
