@water2gashawaii Last thing I will say, is that I think you are a purposefully dishonest person. You make claims that there is evidence against evolution, which there is not and you claim that scientists from every country over the last 150 years are conspiring and fabricating evidence because they dont want to believe in god. You should be in a mental institution if you really believe this. Even the Pope and the Catholic church dont deny evolution.

@MrKGatl I'm educated, I went to college. I just know that the facts are in and evolution is a fraud.

[water2gashawaii]

@MrKGatl you don't want to believe in me? well then you obviously don't give any care for the truth. I don't exist, and I didnt' type this. Maybe some random numbers in cyberspace is responsible for this post.

[water2gashawaii]

@MrKGatl sophistry. the educated engage in it.

[water2gashawaii]

@MrKGatl therefore even with facts in front of you you deny them, you are an evolution religion fanatic.

[water2gashawaii]

@MrKGatl because they desperately want to believe there is no God, and deny his authority here on earth.

[MrKGatl]

@MrKGatl Im not going to discuss this any longer. I really cannot believe that there are still people who dont understand evolution is this day and age. If you get to have ridiculous beliefs like evolution is a fraud, then I am no longer to believe in the existance of evolution denyers. So as of now I do not believe in you.

[water2gashawaii]

@MrKGatl have you observed a monkey evolve into a human? No you haven't but that doesn't stop you from believing it could happen over millions of years. The holocaust happened there were victims, and there were witnesses.

The scientific method requires evidence to be observed. If it is not observed it is not scientific. Evolution is not scientific. It cannot be replicated even under ideal conditions.

[MrKGatl]

@water2gashawaii Why do 99% of all scientists and evolution researchers believe evolution is true?

[MrKGatl]

@water2gashawaii What is wrong with you? Ther are millions of examples of transitional fossils. It is you who are denying the plain and simple evidence. Answer me this--Why is it that evolution is studied by and supported by educated people and uneducated people deny evolution? Dont say this isnt true, people who have been to college are much more likely to believe in evolution.
