TOBS disagreements among scientists on evolution |
When a special centennial edition of Darwin’s Origin of Species was
to be published, W. R. Thompson, then director of the Commonwealth
Institute of Biological Control, in Ottawa, Canada, was invited to write
its introduction. In it he said: “As we know, there is a great
divergence of opinion among biologists, not only about the causes of
evolution but even about the actual process. This divergence exists
because the evidence is unsatisfactory and does not permit any certain
conclusion. It is therefore right and proper to draw the attention of
the non-scientific public to the disagreements about evolution.

Half century old quote mining.
Lame.
So.. evolution is not a valid theory anymore because it is old. Got it.

I wonder why you insist on imitating Jabriol by posting and saying
really, really, really stupid things?
If you can't tell the difference between an out-of-date quote and a
dynamic scientific theory that has 150 years worth of solid science
behind it - science which is growing all the time, then you're wa-ay
out of your league in this news group. Sorry, but it's true.

The usual interpretation would be that the quote is old. But then, you
are just pretending to be an ignorant fuckwit, aren't you?

If so, he isn't pretending.

Not to mention: "Scientists disagreeing over the details of the
process" DOES NOT EQUAL "Creationists are right" Only someone graping
at straws would come to that conclusion.

One fine day in alt.atheism, ZilentNoise <ZilentNoise@malinator.com>
bloodied us up with this:

You just refuse to believe it because it debunks your holy books. Too
fucking bad, moron.

indeed it is. It is also wrong to lie about it and suggest the debate is
about whether evolution occured.
