Arnold Mendez & Creationism vs. Evolution - General Discussion Part 1

This is the opening salvo in what looks to be a long series. I try and quickly discuss (only!) the first two questions Mr. Mendez was asked on his appearance on the Tomorrow program. Apologies for the declining production value during the video

Biologists no longer question whether evolution has occurred or is occurring. That part of Darwin's book is now considered to be so overwhelmingly demonstrated that is is often referred to as the FACT of evolution. However, the MECHANISM of evolution is still debated.We have learned much since Darwin's time and it is no longer appropriate to claim that evolutionary biologists believe that Darwin's theory of Natural Selection is the best theory of the mechanism of evolution

[zzytrewq]

The empirical evidence doesn't show evolution to be wrong. The information presented by creationist literature parading as evidence is laughable. Go and read Origin of the Species if you have the courage of your convictions. Better still find evidence that the book is flawed. Like most who never take this challenge they misquote the book in a pathetic attempt to discredit it. All have failed in the last 150 years.

You are brainwashed.

Unbelievable silly! There nothing else to say...silly, silly, silly!

Good vid, but I take issue with your use of the word "complexity". There isn't anything inherently more complex in humans than there is in dinosaurs. There are also organisms such as internal parasites that have lost a lot of functions and could be considered less complex then their ancestors that could live on their own.

Natural selection just doesn't drive towards increasing complexity.

Apologies, I didn't see your comment in the correct place (wasn't viewing all comments), so I was confused as to who you were talking to thus the perceived failure to make your point. However, I'm not sure how my comment could be perceived as belief OR science based? I simply did not understand :P

[joshTheGoods]

Are you attempting to make a point? If so, you've failed miserably. Please, try again, and be clear this time.

Nebraska man was proven to be a fake, but Lucy is NOT a fraud. There are hundreds of missing links and transitional fossils, the only problem is that creationists have this messed up version of what they should look like ( Good example being Kirk Cameron and his "crocoduck") You creationist keep on moving the goalposts until the type of transitional fossils you demand are not even compatible with the theory of evolution. And also, your vid on transitional fossils is a joke.

this thing really bothers me.. im forced to learn in biology along with psychology just to keep ignorant asses from destroying the very thing that destroyed the dark ages

[Chuichupachichi]

During most of the time since Darwin the supposed missing links that were presented were few. For the most part they were one at a time, Piltdown was believed for years until debunked. Then others followed, like Nebraska, or Pig Tooth Man. Again, he remained as valid for years until debunked. There were more that followed. "Lucy and the Guy Who Ground Her" are also frauds. Therefor, after so many years of one at a time, false missing links, now you guys expect us to believe that suddenly there's

[Chuichupachichi]

countless examples of valid missing links. Its more intelligent to realize that the only thing that's changed is the evolutionists plan of attack strategy. Like a "mob mentality", it seems that each of all the false links is unscrutinizingly unidentified in a sea of lies. Good strategy, since the other one continued to blow up in apes faces. Of course, now we should believe the insane who for most of 150 years continued to repeatedly attempt what repeatedly didn't work. Not to mention, that

[Chuichupachichi]

simply to claim a genealogical heritage that includes Amoebian forbearers is qualification enough for a new wardrobe consisting of "I hug me - cuz I luv me" jackets and a lengthy stay at the Club Med-icated Rubber Room Resort. Especially after the 20th century's Darwin fanatic, materialist, atheist, Marxist Psychos. You equate whale evolution's supported validity with that of ape-like creature, missing links. Ha Ha, I agree, check out my video "Evolution's Transitionals Don't Exist"

[Chuichupachichi]

"genome research", another laugh! Molecular Biology has in fact, been evoists worst nightmare come true. However, as was stated by Mr Mendez, "evo is unfalsifiable". Mostly because even when the science atrociously annihilates evo, still the atheistically predetermining, "conspiratorial" expulser, majority, scientific community simply, casually & pathetically shamelessly reinterpret the data to suddenly & miraculously support evo. Whats the use in realizing your idealism if you have to be a self
