My PowerBook has worked perfectly since the day I bought it and is, by far, the best computer I've ever owned. You won't regret the purchase ...

This will be my last post: several people are obviously angry. Perhaps my style is too confrontational, I’m not sure. I will make a few remarks and be done. I’d also like to point out that I’ve ignored several statements by posters that were, shall we say, less than cordial...

Sorry for taking so long to respond, but I was away for the weekend (skiing). CrimsonNan: I take great offense at your comment. My mentor is female. In fact, almost every person who has had a significant influence on my life to date as been female. I see nothing in BeccaBama’s posts...

KillVols: I have no problem with zingers. Go for it. And, yes, I am in the science community. It’s cute that you tried to turn my argument around on me. Unfortunately, you’re assertion doesn’t hold any water. I challenged creationists to provide one single piece of...

I see that neither BeccaBama or KillVols is going to address the questions in my post. BeccaBama: Your argument is a common one among creationists. Whatever level of evidence evolution provides, you’ll always rise the bar just a tick above that and declare victory. You’ll say...

NYBamaFan: I never said you couldn’t believe in God and evolution. I believe a person must strive to ignore his or her belief system when examining new facts. I’m not ignorant to the possibility that your current beliefs many very well slant your view of the facts; however to...

I’m starting to understand why creationists refuse to accept the facts. You (creationist) cannot objectively process the data … it must be viewed through the lens of creationism. I like to work the other way: first interpret the data and then set my belief system accordingly. Thus...

BeccaBama: I prefer to stick with the actual theory. Drawing any conclusions about how life began from evolution is an incorrect interpretation of the theory. Yes, I did notice what the article said with respect to what Americans believe. Did you notice the tone in which it mentioned those...

I have, bamabake: read the article. Or, if you'd prefer: http://www.nap.edu/html/creationism/evidence.html KillVols, the answer to your question can be found in most biology books (a good one, anyway). Again, if you'd prefer, the above link will help you too. I probably will not be able to...

Actually, I was busy this weekend and didn’t have time to respond. I won’t get to everything, because there is too much and, unfortunately, I have actual work to do. I’ll leave it to an excellent article from National Geographic on the subject entitled, “Was Darwin...

Of course, you’re wrong on several points. First, the major one: evolution only explains how speciation occurs. Nothing more, nothing less. It makes no attempt to explain how life began. Not understanding this simple, easily verified point is one of the major fallacies of creationists...

As a grad student at CU, I've been following this story pretty closely. Here is a link Churchill's essay, entitled, "Some People Push Back", that has caused the uproar: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/4151804/detail.html Pretty disgusting stuff. Personally, I think the Colorado Daily...

No, bamabake, you are wrong and ignorant of the situation. Evolution is supported by as much evidence and as many observations as the theory of gravitational attraction or the theory that matter is made up of atoms. Evolution can be observed and has been observed. Just crack a biology book and...

It looks like something along these lines has been said before, but clearly bamabake doesn't understand, so here goes ... I’m curious, bamabake, if you doubt if germs cause disease, if the earth goes around the sun, if mass is made up of atoms, if electricity is powering the computer...

There are too many pages of this thread to read them all, but someone has pointed out that evolution makes no attempt to predict how life BEGAN, right? Evolution only explains how SPECIATION occurs. Evolution denial is really only present among people with a political or religious agenda who...
