Do you believe in evolution, OT?

[QUOTE="Ace6301"]Of course. Personally I find it somewhat difficult to disbelieve in something I've witnessed. Also I love these topics, easily one of the most entertaining "controversial" subjects to witness the discussion of. You can really tell an awful lot about a person based on their stance.kingkong0124

[QUOTE="MattDistillery"]Appendix, something that is useless and sometimes blows up an kills peopleCaptain52

I think I read some time ago that the appendix harbors good bacteria, so when your gut is infesting with bad bacteria it can re-populate with the good stuff. Lemme see if I can find it. Yup, here you go.

Also, the coccyx helps open the birth canal during childbirth. I could probably look that up too, but my ice cream is melting. :)

A crazy man who attracted many, many followers. The difference between a random *** dude preaching that's he's a prophet today and Jesus is that Jesus could show people that he wasn't crazy...kingkong0124

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"][QUOTE="Ace6301"] Define for me this "macro" evolution. Do you mean one species becoming another? If so I have witnessed such a thing. At any rate "macro" evolution is a misnomer as "macro" evolution is just "micro" evolution observed over many generations. Thankfully microorganisms have extremely short generations. But I suppose to you microorganisms don't count since they disprove your stance, right? As for humans we actually can trace our evolution pretty much completely now, we're not some god send. We just won the evolutionary lottery, so to speak. Crunchy_Nuts

I am glad people like kingkong are not apart of the field of biological sciences. It would literally set us back 100 years+ in medical research. Our immune system would not making any fing sense without evolution.

To be honest, his religion was spread more through forced conversion in its earliest stages. kingkong0124

Christianity was quite the same. Didn't you know that?

Used to you'd be executed if you held to the old Celtic ways, for instance. "She be a witch! Suffer not a witch to live! FIRE AND BRIMSTONE!"

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"] You're embracing to superstition as well. Here you are, believing what these scientists tell you because of their credentials. You've never experienced evolution. You've never seen the evidence firsthand. That's an appeal to authority itself.

No, I'm putting stock in evidence that I can see with my own eyes. You're putting faith in ancient poetic tales written by sheep herders who thought a cold sore was a sign of God's anger.

And we haven't evolved into a new species because 30,000 years if too short a time span for such drastic changes to happen. We have, nonetheless, evolved recently. Take blonde hair, for example - that has only come about in the last few thousand years.

I can observe blonde hair. I know it exists. I have blond hair myself, so that really helps the credibility there. Also natural blonde hair is relatively rare amongst the human population, which points to it being a fairly recent mutation. Now show me one piece of physical evidence for God. Just one example.

Actually in the initial 'conquests', Christians and Jews were not forced to convert (although pagans were).

Wrong, people were not educated and lot more gullible 2000 years ago. wis3boi

Edit: You can have the greatest education taught to you and be still gullible.

imo, if you don't believe in it, you either haven't studied it or you're completely blind and ignorant. there's simply too much evidence supporting it, and nothing that disproves it.Sword-Demon

the bible disproves it good sir.

An opinion isn't usually is a stance on something that is subjective....this topic is not subjective.

:lol: And you guys all lose your cool when ever I dare to express my beliefs or opinions. :lol:ShadowsDemon

You neglect the scientific method, you neglect to show proof, you strawman things to death ("HURRDURR Y DERE STILL MONKEYS HURRDURR" even though Darwin and modern Biologists will never say we evolved from what we know as monkeys), you pull bullcrap out of the air (such as "OH WE HAVE 90% SAME DNA AS FRUIT FLIES Y WE NO FRUIT FLIES") whilst pushing forward your opinion as scientific truth.

How can we not get pissed off at that?
