“There is no denying” – Small Dead Animals

Cosh;

… that what is about to happen to Tory is somewhat unjust. He may, after all, end up as the first Conservative party leader anywhere in Canada to lose an election because he advocated relativism and multiculturalism. These are twin creeds that Liberals and public-school teachers are happy to profess when the subject is government or sexual morality, but just watch how quickly they are abandoned when someone challenges the science curriculum.

I love it when someone who has absolutely zero understanding of science goes around saying things like “the theory of evolution still has not stood up to any scientific scrutiny”.
Seriously, the theory of evolution is pretty much the one thing that 99.9% of scientists can agree on. I’d like to suggest that an uneducated, hyper-religious yokel, is unlikely to change that any time soon.
I’ll make you a deal: you stick to thumping your bible, and I’ll promise not to mock your silly beliefs in a giant invisible bearded guy who rapes virgins, approves of his church starting Crusades, executing scientists, suppressing all non-religious knowledge, and allows his representatives to rape young boys.
Deal?

Alex:
I call BS purely on scientific scrutiny.
Since the original premise set forth by Darwin has been refuted countless times by credible, your 99.9% figure is a total fabrication.
All I’m saying is studies of DNA behaviour, by itself, make the theory of evolution laughable.
And, that’s strictly scientific fact.
I don’t know you, so I will not lower myself to the type of personal attacks contained in your second-last paragraph.
Stick to scientific facts, only, please and prove to me the theory of evolution is not laughable.

You’re living in your own little fantasy world, and I have no time to deal with lunatics. Goodbye.

Ol Hoss,
“Rejection of evilutionary (sic) theory doesn’t depend on it’s replacement. Just as rejection of AGW doesn’t depend on it’s replacement.”
Actually, they both do. If you reject the theory, then you have a valid replacement. Electron and Conventional theories regarding electricity, for instance (both are still used, one by awesome technicians and the other by lame engineers). Sunspot activity to explain global temperature fluctuations. What do you have that replaces evolution and can withstand scrutiny? Nothing. Your theory, apparently, is that man came into being fully formed and you must believe this because the Bible said so. It’s a circular argument of the worst kind.
“Duh, they looked like apes because they were apes.”
The problem is that they DID NOT look like apes. They walked upright, had opposable thumbs and were able to fashion tools somewhat beyond what our chimpanzee relatives can do. Their brains were significantly larger than any of the great apes. I can continue, something about hips and backs being distinctly not lesser or greater apelike in any manner and how skulls attach to spines.
Then, there’s this sticky problem of the very large possibility that Neanderthal man was an entirely different species from us. Unless you reject genetic theory as well.
