@FirelionGuate Holy shit, you wrote the funniest thing I've ever read. If you were a practiced comedian you would have had to work your ass off to achieve that comic effect. The misspells, the oddly-capitalized words, and you added 'evoluted'.

Bravo, my friend. bravo.

[FirelionGuate]

@MultiUniv3rsal gracias, grazzias! merci beaucoup! how many languages do you know! I know three! I learned english in three years. You call that evolution?

[MultiUniv3rsal]

@FirelionGuate Knowing French, Italian, and Spanish is like knowing English and English with a southern accent. Stick with your own language and maybe we'd have a reason to learn it.

@FirelionGuate:

By evoluted, I presume you mean evolved. Evolute is to do with curvatures. The fact that you don't know the word evolved means to me that, before bashing evolution, you should learn something about it.. Lesson 1: THERE ARE "IN BETWEENS". Look it up. There is more than enough proof. Read Jerry Coyne's book. It's excellent.

[bouiglob]

@FirelionGuate Ha!!!! That was funny!!! I know your kidding but that was really funny.

[NoCrispin]

@FirelionGuate they are everywhere.

Its a interesting thought but not accurate. Bible thumper's are not as powerful as you think. In Government and education its the secular humanist who are in charge. People like Eugenie Scott co signer of the third humanist manifesto who overtly advocate there world views through the education system. They have the docket sheet to prove it. It is actually Scott who wants to incorporate religion in class rooms. She was also the admitted brain child of the Clergy Letter Project.

[benthemiester]

From unknown blogger I agree with.  Scott recommends a lesson plan that sends students into the community to interview religious leaders to learn about their perspectives on evolution.? Then students bring their interviews back into the science classroom to discuss the religious views of local ministers—in the science classroom....

[knowinginfinity]

Man I wish I could understand this complicated stuff.

[benthemiester]

A book entitled, Why Evolution is True. Very interesting, I thought that scientific theories were supposed to be self evident. I wonder if maybe somewhere out there, there's a book entitled why gravity is true. It would have been nice if he had entitled the book, Why Molecule to Man Evolution is True. It would eliminate the semantics that some hide behind.

[BigMikeMcBastard]

@benthemiester It's titled as it is because there are some very silly people out there who can't reconcile their religious views with science. Biologists are constantly fighting a rearguard action against creationist/"intelligent design" insurgents trying to overthrow it through capitalizing on the credulity and ignorance of voters, rather than through any scientific basis.

[benthemiester]

cont.....Of course Dr. Scott has every right to hold her secular humanist viewpoints. But isnt it a little odd that organizations headed by secular humanists are telling teachers what kind of religion to promote to students?

FirelionGuate

Do everyone a favour and actually read, research and understand before spouting utter garbage.

Your counter argument of where are the intermediates is old and stale, it also shows your ignorance on the subject of Evolution. Evolution can proved by several independent means, but Molecular Genetics, which is one of them, is just beautiful, it is to evolution what quantum mechanics is to physics.

[lostallmymirth]

Firelion,

Trying to reason with this idiot is like trying to catch a fart in the wind with a butterfly net

[FirelionGuate]

If evolution is true, WHERE are ALL the in-betweens of the evoluted creatures? How much proof is there of that? none bottom line.

[bubbamickmac]

FirelionGuate,

Look up some peer-reviewed papers. Also, look up Tiktaalilk, and read Professor Coyne's book, "Why Evolution is True." its a good read.

thanks for the comment,

cheers,

The so called "missing link" Ida just was discovered to not be a link between primates and humans but to lemurs...

[Golkarian]

@FirelionGuate, "Ida" was never supposed to be a link between apes and humans (it had a tail! neither apes nor humans have that). It was always supposed to be a close relative to the link that would connect lemurs and anthropoid primates, anthropoid primates include humans, which is where the hype about human evolution came from.

[Golkarian]

@FirelionGuate, dido to bubbamickmac, also look up talkorigins, and if you can check there data with peer-reviewed journals

[wobblyjellys]

Its Jerry Lee lewis

[dannyp76]

I love the presentational honesty between what is known, what is reasonably known, and what is a hypothesis that is still being developed. Not only that, but Coyne's candid (but ultimately irrelevant) breaches into other speacialties speak very well of his honesty. AAIC 09, I hope to be there

[GPLeague]

Just got Dr. Coyne's evo. book today. Should be a good one.

[heymanhmm]

I read it. It's mostly philosophy.

[airborne2201]

This video actually helped me better understand the EvoDevo part of my evolution class, thanks
