wow you must really be a fool to believe there is no creator.....

[CommonReason]

If you have evidence for one, I'd be glad to hear it.

"No informed ID'er or creationist argues this."

That's because there is no such thing as an informed creationist (or IDer). In fact, "informed creationist" is a perfect oxymoron.

@1HumanKind also . But no one confuses biological evolution with social evolution ("mankinds history") except the mentally infirm. I sorry,but I thought all of our great discoveries in the biological evolution came because of society,you mean the hunter and gather tribes that we have now living the same as half human and half monkey that science claims we come from(except these hunter and gathering tribes look all human nowadays,can discover and map and do everything society can do

@1HumanKind Calling me names does not answer the question,answer the questions,anyone can throw names around,stop insulting me and answer the question,your a god right,you must be you claim to have all the answers,then educate me,explain,your not a very good teacher are you just a bully that's scared.

@elainepul

you okay?

your comment indicates you are suffering a schizoid break or a seizure.

incidentally leeches are still being used for healing (science is a real miracle) and it so happens that evolution has brought creatures from the oceans to the land and back again (your "up down up down"). But no one confuses biological evolution with social evolution ("mankinds history") except the mentally infirm.

Hope you aren't having another seizure...

[prschuster]

If these Republicans are so scientifically illiterate, why should I trust their economic theories either? I'm still waiting for some of that trickle down.

[gigisdad]

Believing in something for which there is no evidence is called faith. Believing in something which has been disproved by evidence is called stupidity.

Chris Matthews usually seems smarter than he did here. He took the ID bait and swallowed it. This "news" is why partially science in the U.S. is losing funding. The "news" media is less interested in facts than they are controversy, so they bring on an ID fool to posit that ID and evolutionary biology are equally valid. This is not the case, and if MSNBC cared about reporting the news, they would have brought on a scientist to refute this ID nonsense.

[elainepul]

Okay so there is not creator,then how do you explain mankind building society a prophet showing up a war and then the death of society,likewise how do you explain 2000 years ago you lost all advancement and used leeches for god sake for your healing 1800 years of crawling on the dirt no technology and bam in 200 years from the ground to space(which btw Jesus foretold) evolution don't work that way,up down up down,evolution only works one way from ground up,no repeats like mankind's history!

We're all apes, period.
