Evolution is a FACT! Ugh, get over it already. Reality is that which, if you stop believing in it, is still there. Enough is enough. Bronze age myths have held us back for too long.

@Seigu007 How could he hate something that he doesn't think exists?

[gateshead1000]

@metanosis lol ... its religious ... Funny, only a few religious people say that science is religion. Strange how religious fanatics are the only ones cabable of fooling themselves into believing that science is a religion. Oh, my.

@TheRightThinker

It's really not that fucking difficult. DNA self replicates. Anything that self replicates, is subject to copying errors. These copying errors CHANGE the genetic template. These changes (mutations) result in genetic variation. Natural selection then acts on his variation. Whichever variant aid in survival, are then further replicated, while the variants that inhibit survival, die with the organism. over time this gradually refines populations. SIMPLE!

@metanosis

Oh, so the science of how biological organisms change over time is philosophical, and not a study of how nature functions? lol. What a ridiculous thing to say..Go get an education man.

[metanosis]

@ZachRose88 no, it's faux science, like marxism, the "science"of society, and freudianism, the "science" of the mind.....it's really a religious, philosophical dogma of naturalism, see the bestseller Darwin on Trial....reviewed by most prestigious science journal,Nature, and not challenged on scientific grounds at all, but on religious grounds!!....Darwinism On Trial (Phillip E. Johnson)

@iz2sicc Now I know you really don't know biology. Listen to reporduce you need to be VIABLE AND FERTILE. People with extra/fewer set of chromosomes than their parents (ex: down syndrome) are almost always sterile and if they happen to be fertile, they lack the viable factor, they do not have the cognitive ability to reproduce, I am not going to say 100% of them are sterile I have not looked at this but I can say 99% are. Go back to your google reading

[iz2sicc]

@TheRightThinker Again you made the same exact grammatical mistake even after I pointed it out to you numerous times. Speaks volumes about your ignorance. Are mentally retarded people infertile? Furthermore, do they always produce mentally retarded children? Think about that one. I gave you examples of horses. Withdraw from that Christian school of yours and go to a real college. You might actually learn something. Take a few more English classes while you're at it. It will do you some good.

[TripleDoubleFine]

Harris and Shermer are heirs to Hitchens' thrown.

[TheRightThinker]

@iz2sicc Stupid the only example you can give is down syndrome, which is exactly making my point. down syndrome does NOT produce a healthy fertile offspring, but a child with a disorder. Your a schmuck with no knowledge of basic biology, when you read a little, come back and comment back.

@TheRightThinker watch?v=sj9hG91uOoU

Stumbled on that in a playlist. You should watch it.

@TheRightThinker What don't you understand about time aspect of "macro" evolution? I'm sorry, did they figure out how to breed animals/bugs in a lab with a wide variety of environments and somehow condense thousands of years into a human lifetime? Wow, consider evolution DEBUNKED! Damn fruit flies.
