Had you conducted yourself rationally as your name suggests I would have been glad to continue the conversation. And as i mentioned earlier I have no problem accepting evolution I simply think it should be open to question. And I have never insisted on literal interpretation of the bible. These are assumptions you have made that help you justify embracing your own philosophy uncritically. As far as running whatever works for you.

[IAmARationalApe]

Still ignoring the question about ERVs. Please tell me how it is possible for those ERVs to exist without common descent.

"I think it should be open to question."

The fundamental evolutionary facts require no debate, they a proven, and if you would engage with me on ERVs you would realise this.

"I have never insisted on literal interpretation" You''ve already made it clear that you support the ID brigade. I've not made any assumptions here. Nevethelss, your religious beliefs close your mind.

I could have walked you some of the recent controversies in phylogeny involving not creationists but those who whole heartedly believe. But I feel as though I am wasting my time trying to have a rational conversation. Greetings.

That's it run away with your tail between your legs.

You have no answer the ERV question and so just choose to ignore it. Continuing in your delusional beliefs that do not fit in with the reality, simply because you cannot face the possibility that you may be wrong and have been conned into believing the absurd creationst nonsense. Too scared to face the prospect that the Bible is just a book written by ignorant men.

I have asked you several times to refrain form the insults. You think by calling somone stupid, deluded , etc you are going to bully everyone who disagrees with you into submission. Evolution is far from being an open and shut case. Your desire to make it appear so speaks only to your philosophical held need to avoid even considering any alternatives. If I had had wanted to insult you it would have been the easiest thing for me. I was well trained.

"Evolution is far from being an open and shut case."

If you think it isn't please address the issue I have asked you to address almost half-a-dozen times now. Explain ERVs in the context of anything that does not include common descent.

I'm more insulted by your continued avoidance of this issue than by any words you might use.

I have no problem with trading insults if they are deserved, but what I abhor is intellectual dishonesty and the contempt for rational thinking that you've shown.

Useless commentary.. Non sensible in fact, Berlinski says Van Neumann laughed at Darwinism.. as do many mathematicians. Never mentions Van Neumann’s position on DNA.

[procommenter]

Humanity has been beaten down to accept totalitarianism, as it is the natural order of things. We need book-read “atheists” to preach the Gospel of our splintered Faith. So far we've only been able to attract the degenerate hole-dwellers {lunatic fringe} of Marxian/Darwinian theology.

[gregrutz]

Evolution is open to questions, Creationist have been trying to prove it wrong for 150 years.

[IAmARationalApe]

Yet again you have FAILED to address the issues presented in the two videos I linked for you. Namely the existence of shared ERVs of different species.

Here they are again:

watch?v=dbbh1P6DW5I - primer then watch

watch?v=-uNCDm-4tiQ

Clearly you are either one of those who simply ignores the evidence because they are deluded, or one of those who are too stupid to understand it, or you have been ignoring my request.

Please address this issue or shut up.
