More than 2/3 of Republicans Don't Believe in Evolution

[Mad_Cabbie]

Just a theory?

"A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on knowledge that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation."

Please, get a refund on your BSEE....

He can't get a refund. He ate all of the Cracker Jacks that it came with.

I know that the earth revolves around the son, which is probably more than you two know.

You mean the "SUN?"

Oh jeeez.

Hey Puddly, it's called a theory rahter than a fact for a reason.

Oh boy, here we go again. Another ignoramous demonstrating his profound ignorance. Look up what a theory means in scientific terminology.

Considering his avatar and his cutesy nickname for me, he's way too busy worrying about keeping his place in the closet to educate himself about science.

That doesn't make the dinosaur a different species though. It makes those dinosaurs that evolved into birds an earlier version of bird not a separate species.

Wow you are explaining your earlier ignorance with even more ignorance.

Please review the biological classification tree you learned in 10th grade then come back to the thread, it will save you a lot of looking like a dumbass.

So far, you are the only dumbass. You need a science course.

He said 10th grade and you didn't get past 7th.

Dang.

Did they find the talking monkeys??????

Not sure what you are saying here. Humans were probably the first animal to speak.

They are part of a very long line of evolution that goes back about 20 million years.

I call it pseudoscience.
Look at your chart and see how very little actual bones are there and then they fill in the rest.
Rather than gathering facts, they take fragments and turn them into our ancestors.

The facts show, there are no living intermediates – all of the supposed ancestors of man have died out – they are extinct. Therefore it is the task of “science” to reconstruct these alleged ancestors. We have monkeys and we have humans in the world today – but we don’t have the living relatives between. It is the responsibility, therefore, of “science,” to fill in the gaps.

This is where it becomes interesting. Especially for people who are not so easily convinced that the “story of our origins” is “good science.” Good science must be based on good observations that provide sound conclusions.

When I see a painting, or a mode,l or the chart you put up, of an alleged ancestor that is based on a fragment of a jaw, a toe bone, or a footprint that looks like modern humans, I wonder how scientific this “story” really is. Is it possible a story is being told that is based on biased assumptions in order to provide evidence that isn’t evidence at all?
Many people question this.

The theory of gravity won't be proved until the Bosun-Higgs finds the God Particle and what it is that gives mass, its mass.

When you know what you are looking for - It isn't called science; It's called theology.

ah yes, another thread posted just to look down your noses at people

Everyone has their own beliefs..

I thought everyone knew that birds evolved from dinosaurs! That doesn't make the dinosaur a different species though. It makes those dinosaurs that evolved into birds an earlier version of bird not a separate species.

How are you able to turn on your computer?

Katz is a category 5 dumbass.

Ya know, dinosaurs aren't mentioned in the Bibles. Nothing about giant T-Rex creatures going into caves, Pterodactyls plucking people off of terra-firma. Obviously this means one thing.

If you ask Republicans...dinosaurs are a liberal invention.
Your mileage may vary.

The Septuagint mentions reptiles.

 

[Freewill]

At best, at the very most, human beings evolved from an earlier species of human beings. There has never been a species that evolved from another species.

Not technically true. Species being a human construct. Species meaning, can the two animals mate. What I think you meant is that there is little evidence of evolution causing a bird to become something other then a different specie of bird.

The reason why dinosaurs aren't mentioned in the Bible is because the Bible traces only the lineage of Jesus and doesn't need to address the issue of dinosaurs.
