Where is this mountain of evidence for evolution?

[cnm]

Okay, invincible ignorance, the effect is much the same.

Now. Can someone show me one piece of factual evidence? Just one will do.

Much more than just one piece of evidence has been produced. All but one piece has been willfully, or invincibly, ignored. C'est la vie when 'discussing' with the batshit crazies.

These evolution deniers, to a person, have no educational background in evolutionary science, have published no original work in evolutionary science, and have conducted no field or laboratory research in evolutionary science. And yet we are supposed to believe that they know what the fuck they are talking about. Obviously, they do not, but many others are qualified and have done the requisite work. I am one of the latter. Anyway, below is a list of links not all inclusive) where a lot of evidence for evolution can be found.

The evidence:

Introduction to Human Evolution The Smithsonian Institution s Human Origins Program

Evolution 101 Human Evolution

TalkOrigins Archive Exploring the Creation Evolution Controversy

Understanding Evolution Resource Library

Evolution Evidence for - Biology Encyclopedia - body function human process different organisms DNA organs life used

Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of Human Origins

Evolution is a....Fact

God is a theory

A fact? Then show us the proof.

The FACT that Evolution occurs is supported by biological, fossil, geologic and recently......DNA evidence

God is just a theory......A theory unsupported by scientific evidence

No it isn't. That's just your leap. Show us proof that one species became another.

One species does not become another, they have common ancestors. Their comonality to those ancestors has been proven by biological, fossil and DNA evidence

I asked for proof, not speculation. Can't you follow simple instructions, moron?

They have no proof. It takes as much faith, if not more, to believe evolution rather than Creation. Evolution has countless impossible hurdles to jump through. Creation has just one. The existence of God. The simplest explanation is usually the truth.

The same does not go for the simplest speculation. The simplest speculation for why there are presents under the tree to a 5 year old is Santa Claus. The truth of course is that the parents went to a lot of trouble and deception to hide the gifts and make sure the children are in the dark as they wrap these presents. Manufacturers and retail outlets help prolong the deceit. There is a man dressed up in a fake beard and red suit at every mall. To a 5 year old there is overwhelming proof that Santa is real.

When I was 5 I told my folks that I appreciated the presents but no longer wanted to get free stuff from Santa. The whole thing was made up and I wanted no part in the ruse. It just seemed silly. At some point in one's relationship with your parents you just would rather have a foundation based on truth and mutual respect. A child might feel better not being lied to even if there is a monetary reward for playing along. When a kid starts feeling like he or she is being bribed to accept playing a part it can be harmful and even foster resentment.

Many of you probably see this point of view as selfish to openly bust Santa on Christmas. For me it actually started a personal investigation on the whole Christmas ordeal and started building a wedge into my feelings about Christianity also because of the Nativity aspect being interwoven into the holiday. Once sure that Santa was a falsehood it made me question the rest of the whole thing including the three kings following a bright light in the sky etc. Not long after the whole thing unraveled for me and the beginnings of a young atheist started to develop.

So the Santa myth left you scarred for life..poor kid..

Scarred? Hardly. It was refreshing to start unraveling some of the nonsense. It gave me more faith in my own ability to reason things out. It also started a 100% honest relationship with my parents which was enjoyed by them and I.

Really I thought it was about a person who
could not produce the mountain of evidence
referenced in the OP..and Instead just tried to use appeal to authority by claiming how educated he is ...

I have posted the requested evidence in numerous posts. You, on the other hand, have posted nothing other than ad hominem, and anti-science drivel.

If only there were some classes one could take on evolution. Maybe we could write the ideas down in textbooks and put them in libraries. We could even go so far as to put these libraries and classes in the same place...we could call it a university.

Nah, that'd never work.

Nah, that'd never work.

then I could regurgitate what they tell me without question and I could be smart too

Every single thing in those textbooks and classes is up for challenging. If you can't replicate the results, someone has some 'splaining to do Lucy. So take the classes, do the work, and see if you come up with the same answers.

Or just pretend it's all some huge conspiracy.

 

[Mr.Right]

Twenty five pages into this discussion, and still no factual evidence for evolution. All I've seen were a few talking points, one of which was debunked a century ago, insults and deflection. Surely you guys can do better than that.

most everything post as evidence is little more than story telling

I did and I discovered most doctors choose camels..its science !

 

[Steven_R]

If you want to remain willfully ignorant, that's you business, but don't pretend the evidence doesn't exist when it's spoonfed to you.

 

[orogenicman]

If students in science classes all across the planet never ever asked a question, you'd have a point. But since that has NEVER been the case, next. Perhaps you slept during class (or skipped out and got high with your friends) and that explains your ignorance.

right and how do write off those with higher education than yourself that question the soundness of evolutionary theory ?

 

[Steven_R]

They question it but aren't producing the work to back up their assumption (and agendas). Where are the articles in Nature and Science and PMAS that will put a stake in the heart of evolution? Answer: They aren't being written.

If I am a biologist and can stop evolution in its tracks, I'm getting eternal notoriety and a Nobel Prize, at the very least. I'll be in every bio book with Linnaeus and Leeuwenhoek and the Human Genome Project from this day forward.

So why aren't they being written?

 

[orogenicman]

Perhaps you should review those 25 pages, and Mr. Wrong, I posted evidence that showed you were wrong; you even admitted the errors of your ways. I have since posted numerous examples of evolution, and provided independent links to a host of evidence. For you to now come back and claim that there was nothing posted to demonstrate the validity of the most widely accepted scientific theory in history is disingenuous, to say the least.

I now understand the problem you are having. Before you take any other classes, it would be useful for you to first take a class in English.

No, Eots, the morons are you fellows that go up against literally mountains of evidence with your willfull ignorance.

willfull ignorance?.

You all could be possessed I suppose.
