Stop pooping in your pants sunny. I doubt if
you'd know an 'evolution theory' if one hit you in
the nose.

So much credibility that the entire field of medicine is based on it.
So tell me, are you honest enough to spurn hospitals and doctors too
or are you a hypocrit?

Because medicine directly benefits from it. So now you admit.
Evolution theory has saved your life.

I remember the seething outrage and demonstrations Christian had towards
Barney Clark's breaking ground as the first heart transplant patient.
There's been many advances in heart care since then and cretins like
Precision have deem the utilization of those advances a 'right.'
Christians are pulling the same crap on cervical cancer vaccine and stem
cell research. Give it ten years and they'll be yowling about the same
'right' to those procedures. Damned hypocrites! {***** BE UNTO THEM}

Evolutionary theory is a significant part of the scientific background
for modern medical science. New drugs are often developed using testing
and selection processes that would not have developed without
evolutionary theory.
In addition, most medical practitioners accept evolutionary theory as
being the best available explanation. Do you want to be treated by
someone that theologically corrupted?

Oh, it was obvious where your mind was<eg>
But since you brought it up, I just wonder how many guys out there really do
think breast implants (especially the obviously fake ones that look like she
stuck two bowls on her chest) really look that good? IMHO, I'd rather see a
real B or even a real D that's drooping a bit than a fake D that's (more
often than not) not even on both sides, where the implant sits way too low
or too high or otherwise just looks like crap.
Ladies, PLEASE, stay with what 'god gave ya'. Small and natural is much
better than big and obviously fake (at least for me.)

Is your opinion based on knowledge of the science? If so, how about
you give a quick summary of the modern theory of evolution, briefly
describe the major line of evidence supporting that theory, and
explain the difference between the fact and theory of evolution. When
you have shown you know what you are talking about you can say where
the problems lie.

You mean the theory that has had 150 years of steadily mounting solid
scientific support? The theory that has never once failed any test to
which it has been put? The theory to which the massively overwhelming
majority of contemporary scientists subscribe? The theory about which

That's good if they practice what they preach, since modern-day evolution
theories lack scientific credibility, IMO.
You mean the theory that has had 150 years of steadily mounting solid
scientific support? The theory that has never once failed any test to
which it has been put? The theory to which the massively overwhelming

staunch Christian Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote an essay titled: "Nothing

I'm sure you would like a formal debate. I have been there, done that, and
learned that such debates continue endlessly. Life is too short for me to
commit to such a debate. If I started such a debate and decided to walk away
from it, I would be accused to running tail between legs and yada yada
yada...
If I didn't have a life and had abundant time to debate you then I might
take it on.
Doesn't a simple expressed opinion suffice without the need for formal
debates?

No. All opinions aren't equal; those that contradict reality are not
valid. In less than five minutes I can find online a truly _huge_ amount
of evidence that supports the fact that evolution happened. You can't
find even a little. It's that simple: The "scientific credibility" of
evolution isn't a matter of opinion, it's a matter of _fact_.
Oh, and it's not a "debate" when all of your arguments consist of flat
assertions, appeals to authority and denials of the evidence. Which is,
in fact, what all "debates" involving creationists consist of.

That's why I said formal debate. The debate would have a limit on the
number and length of postings, but go ahead and be the pathetic little
blowhard coward that you are. Post your unsupported LIES and then run
away. Don't even pretend for a split second that you can actually put
some science, some evidence or some reason behind any of your *****
messages. It's blind faith after all, and now we have an open de facto
admission of it. That's all I expect from your ilk.

No, what's too short is your evidence and logic.

You don't have a life. Get the 'f' out of it. That's what you have.
A Lie.

Simple is what you are. As Clint Eastwood once said in a movie,
opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and most of them stink.
No one cares about your assinine opinion, especially now you have
openly admitted that's it's completely devoid of science, fact, reason
and logic. Come back when you can post some support for your
"opinion".

Your opinion is worthless. Science will continue its course whether you
like it or not. Feel free to reject any scientific benefits that could
be useful to you.

This fellow made a good point. Read on.
"The theory of evolution is but one take on the story of our origins.
While I happen to agree with said theory, it is not fair and borders on
arrogance to force other people to teach something they may think to be
false, especially if the entire society is of the mind. It is not the
duty of one society to tell another how to function, exist, and teach.
When all societies become one in this globalised world, hopefully we
will not have such a problem, but for right now we are not the
intellectual police of the world."
