What a lying peice of shit. This guy is a dentist !! Stupid Texas moron.

Hard to believe that the US were once a symbol of progress and science.

@MaximusArurealius You are very clearly joking. No one can be this ill-informed, it's just not possible. Why are you pretending to to be totally ignorant? Is it funny to you? 

[juuonse]

@MaximusArurealius Nope, you just refused to read it. There's a difference. Libraries full of studies concerning evolution. Go read up and stop being intellectually dishonest to yourself and everyone else.

[MaximusArurealius]

@juuonse I notice you were unable to produce a single bit of this "evidence" you claim to have.

[juuonse]

@MaximusArurealius And we know evolution is a fact. We cannot see design, you're merely asserting it. And if it indeed is design, then the architect was wasted and high while planning all this. You're a silly little man who missed the point entirely. Just because you keep yelling "there's no evidence for evolution" doesn't make it true. You go and have a happy life following a bronze age book. I'll stick with reality and the values of modern civilization.

[MaximusArurealius]

@juuonse WOW You're a dummass. We know gravity is a fact. We know the same about atoms, electrons and protons. We can see design. It's self-evident ya fucking twit. WE cannot see evolution. The reason we can't see it is because it doesn't exist. IF there were any "solid" science behind it you'd have brought it up. You didn't because there isn't any. You were trained to believe. You're a fucking moron.

[juuonse]

@MustangsCanTurnToo "Evolutionists have exactly 3 arguements. Science of gaps, self correction, and "you're too stupid to understand science!"" and lineage of retroviruses, chromosome development, dna mapping and sequencing, paleontological evidence, general biology, etc. etc. etc... Creationists have "God did it". So yeah, who's the one "filling the gap"...wait, don't answer that...this is obviously going to be a fruitless discussion

[juuonse]

@MaximusArurealius "evolution isn't science dummass. So don't be calling it solid. The only thing YOU can SEE with your own eyes is design.Yet you chose to see something that cannot be seen." Can you see gravity? Can you see atoms? Electrons? Protons? Can you see time distortions due to gravity? None of these are things you can see with your eyes yet one can make experiments to observe their existence. The only thing you can see with your eyes is Asserted design, it does not mean it is designed

[juuonse]

@MaximusArurealius You do know that all three articles were written by the same scientists from a very anti-evolutionary perspective in the same website which is NOT peer-reviewed, which publishes preliminary findings which again are NOT peer-reviewed, thus have no place in a scientific journal. And ps. evolutionary paths from RNA strands has been proven time and time again, there's no need to assert a more complicated starting position. So yes, who's the moron.
