  • @catholichotie I suggest you learn to write correctly.

  • In "The greatest show on Earth Pros. Dawkins says he is afraid of snakes :) haha poor Dawkins :)

  • @Wyldwulf Life (new cells) spring out of the result of a chemical reaction, wich often requires surrounding energy. This is an observable fact. So basically, life or a living entity is an energy consuming and "storage" of nutrients. There is nothing holy about this, when we die we become fertiliser for plants (new "energy") and the cycle of life goes on. I'm quite happy about this, in a sence that is living for an eternity (but in another form). So, in the future, my body WILL save lives. =)

  • @Wyldwulf do you actually believe in ether as well?

  • I wonder if Richard gets by calling his wife an "object." How does cosmic "inevitability" produce the self replicating cell? Non-artificial intelligence? Are we still seeing new cells spring up out of the ether?

  • And finally, your confusing the meaning of the word theory (which is a common error.) In the scientific community there are laws and theory's, a theory will never be a law no matter true it is. So if you will, think of it as it having been the 'the theory of the theory of evolution' instead. It is in fact no longer a "theory" in the meaning to which you refer it. It is scientific fact, it is only a theory because it is not a law, if you can understand that.

  • Uni? This has nothing to do with university or age. But as far as common sense and logic goes, religion is oblivious to it. Religion is choosing faith above logic, the two do not cross.

  • You know that without basic punctuation its very hard to understand what your saying, that's why we have it. How exactly is it propaganda? That doesn't make sense, If all being where not transitional then we would all the same, in fact, its impossible to pass on DNA without being transitional. Unless you as a Christian are suggesting we are A-cell organisms.

  • "All fossils are transitional" propaganda and spin you are looking like the Moron The Greeks handed us the method of science and logic but however they dont teach logic or common sense at uni do they? we must stress the difference between Religion, Philosophy and Science these realy shouldnt mix Evolution falls under Religion or Philosophy Not Science because one must have faith to believe in that it is a theory and a very undated one to i might add

  • Oh my god, you are very naive, also the appearance of "lol", in each comment just makes you look like a moron. I don't blame Falloutmoon for not arguing back beyond this point, because you have already proved how foolish you are. But firstly, YES, all fossils are transitional, but if you don't believe me why not go ask your none identical mother, sister, or even great great grandmother. Since that's what you imply by saying there not. "cows to dolphins"?, your an idiot. Stupid girl.
