Here here! Well put!

Yes, the reason all you get is blabbering baloney is because when hear a cellular biologist, geneticist, or paleontologist present the case for evolution you hear the same thing a dog hears:

Blah, blah, blabber, blabber...

[bammbamm12]

That's all I get is blabbering baloney. It appears that you are incapable of engaging in civil discourse due to your bull artist fantasies. Evolution *must* be right; it must it must it must!!

[TulliusVII]

Oh yes, you're so sophisticated. Good thing your brilliant education at Christian Technical college on-line prepared you to dismiss mountains of evidence you surely don't even understand. Must be so tiresome for you to sniff derisively at every scientific discipline concerned in any way with biology.

[bammbamm12]

Sigh........I knew it. Same old same old....thanks bub.

[TulliusVII]

Yes, it does hurt to have those questions brought up. It fills an evolutionist with despair at the realization that there are so many intellectually lazy people who are happy in their religious delusions. What is the theory of evolution? Yes it is a simple question. All of your questions are simple. Perhaps you should actually see how people have answered them and then respond to those answers instead of imagining you have stumped the minds of people much smarter than you.

[bammbamm12]

I'm just looking for the basic tenets. Are we all related? If so, how so? How did life begin? Have we witnessed any evolutions? If so, who what and where? These are obvious questions - so obvious it hurts the evolutionist whenever anyone brings them up. What is the theory? Simple question. I know the theory of the big bang. What's the theory of evolution?

[TulliusVII]

Sigh. You're not looking for either.

I said the vids are a SURVEY of evolutionary material- scientifically rigorous facts and studies that buttress evolution thoroughly. But they are also a straightforward series of videos that do a lot of explaining in their own right.

But whatever. I know you feel good pretending that millions of scientists across dozens of disciplines are incapable of satisfying you, the princess. However, it is clearly your lack of comprehension that is the issue.

[bammbamm12]

So that's it? A youtuber has proved evolution? Sure. But I'm not even looking for proof - I'm just looking for a credible definition.

[TulliusVII]

He doesn't need to make the case for evolution in the few minutes allotted to address the subject at hand. You are no doubt familiar with the intelligent design "science" but likely do not understand evolution on it's own terms; hence you think Tom is giving a real argument while the others dodge the question.

If you wish to survey the SCIENTIFIC FACT of evolution without bothering with all that study (Most ID folks are too pious and impatient for such study) I suggest the vids of AaronRa.
