Crank up your Bob Seger Chevy truck music and listen:

Stood there boldly
Flamin' in the sun
Felt like a million eons
Felt like number one
The height of arrogance
I'd never believed that strong
Like a rock

I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Looking for missing links
Not a fossil to spare
But I was foolish and
Deceived everywhere
Like a rock

My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My Descent had purpose
My posts were quick and slight
And I held firmly
To what I believed was right
Like a rock

Like a rock, I was right as Darwin could be
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock

And I flamed arrow straight
Unencumbered by the contrary weight
Of all these Creationists and their facts
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my evolution, religiously

Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
twenty years
I don't know
sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the monitors' light
The Creationist comes callin' and is mostly right
And I recall
recall

Like a rock. Flamin' arrow straight
Like a rock, pingin' from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' Darwins' weight

Like a crock

Like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the Inherited wind
Like a rock, I see myself down again
Like a rock

"More than 200 evolutionists" was plainly designed to mislead.

Well it seems to have been designed solely for edsheppa. It was a roaring success.

Why was my post #695 removed? Is this forum now into censorship?

According to LBB, it's a secret code from Darwin Central to all conspirators about how to behave in these threads.

Evolutionary algor(e)ithms? Never fail? What do you think his algore-ithms say about these:

A FEW of the MATERIALIST'S MIRACLES

NATURAL PROCESS THAT EXPLAINS THE MIRACLE

Matter has always existed/ matter is eternal.


Matter existed before (!) time began.


All the matter was compressed into the size of a point (some say "infinitely small").


The point exploded (The universe created itself).


Time began.


The universe was 100 trillion degrees celsius (some say "infinitely high").


Only quarks and photons existed which gave rise to hydrogen.


Hydrogen gave rise to all the other elements.


Some particles accelerated beyond the speed of light. (requires infinite energy)


The distribution of matter is not smooth but the distrubution of MBR is smooth.


The clumping of distant quasars appears to put us in the center of the universe.


Particles departing from each other at the speed of light formed planets and stars


Rain on rocks gave rise to life (spontaneous generation)


Rocks gave rise to intelligence.


1-celled structures invented their own genetic info.


Frogs gave rise to princes.


Modern spores are found in precambrian shale.




JASTROW: It's the question then arises as to what created the beginning and what came before the beginning, and these are questions science can't answer. And so they indicate that there are limits to the reach of scientific inquiry, which is a sobering and humbling result to come out of science itself.

Yes, you're correct. Not only is the Aptx suspected of being a hoax, it is worthless as a transitional form because fully developed birds are found in older rock.

The only way evolution can go from no transitional forms to an instant abundance of transitional forms is to redefine "transitional."

I think you should refrain from posting booklength sized replies. If you have to post so much material, post it as a thread. Or summarize your argument and post a link to your source.

I normally do. It is when the information pointed to by a link is trivialized that a production of the true source seems necessary.

Beep. Circle takes the square. No redefinition is needed as nothing researchers point to as a transitional form will ever be accepted by creationists out of shear orneriness.

It would be delightful to be free of spam postings. If I recall, that sort of thing got medved into trouble.

Look here, Ichy, I want to talk science that has observations, facts and evidence. Wishful thinking about plankton salt buried under sediment on the ocean floor or under present day salt marshes won't get us anywhere.
I'm going to make one final contribution here; pure layers of salt are not being formed ANYWHERE today. And muddy sediment on the ocean floor is not evidence of billions of years. I see real science, no matter if you want to keep throwing around the label 'creationist'.
I'm not going to join your religion, dogmatic darwinite!
