I dunno who's been flagging Mogley's posts as spam, but I'm going to leave them that way for now, since Mogley52 seems to keep advertising their own articles and stuff by their friends - AND I really don't have the patience right now to read through all that creationist crap.

Usually I refuse to delete or hide comments that I disagree with, no matter how ignorant they may be, just on a free speech basis.

Anyway, thanx!

Slight correction: the majority of mutations are neutral, not harmful.

[IDioGenesis]

@TBTabby : Even slighter correction; the majority of mutations taken together are harmful, but individually are neutral. lol

Carl, will you please come back to life? We need you!!!

@RobLeveille At least he wasn't born Adam style, IE from dirt/mud/dust

This dude was born under a rock.

The fact of evolution is all around us every day. Faith is for people who are too lazy to question the world around them......

@Lorgrom you dont grasp the concept of "theory" in science A theory is based of observations and evidence. It is a "theory" that you are breathing air right now, it is a "theory" that the earth rotates around the sun,it is a theory that gravity exist ,In science i can say hey i have a theory that if i drop this ball in many differnt conditions100 times it will always fall and never stand still in mid air that observation becomes published theory because results will never change

@Lorgrom sigh what are you talking about lucy one of the oldest human skeltans is 3.6 million years old what are you trying to say ? lucy was not a homo sapien but she was an upright walking homanid that used tools and had a great intelligence for her time modern homosapiens have been around for 200,000 + years please go to the official human genome project site and read all about your human history and not make stupid comments like you just owned someone with your retarded comment.

[Lorgrom]

So 5,000 generations of humans is 100,000 years. Lot longer then evolutionist claim modern man has been around. Taking that as our baseline, mankind should have breed a new genus of plant. But we haven't have we? No, just very different forms of the same beginning plant. Proof beyond debate that evolution is nothing more then a theory and a failed one at that.

[Lorgrom]

For example wheat, every year (or twice a year depending on the type) is a new generation with all those little mutations. Mankind has domesticated what for over 5,000 years. Sp in essence mankind has modified the mutations of wheat in effect longer then humans have been around. I cycle of wheat life = 1 year, which is the equivalent of humans rough reproductive cycle of 20 years.

[Lorgrom]

Yes, mankind has breed certain traits in various domesticated plants, animals, bacteria. etc. But never has mankind breed a new genus. What we call the various types of wheat now are still basically the same wild wheat we began with. Same goes with everything we modify. IF evolution is true, how is it mankind hasn't forced one genus to become another genus?
