Nah m8, you just seemed to agree with him at first, figured I share some more of that wisdom. I see you haven't actually disagreed with anything, just upset I only quoted one person

I disagreed with most of what you posted, but we've derailed this thread enough as is and I'm not going to waste time arguing against all those quotes. Also, what makes you think I'm upset? I'm feeling quite unrustled at the moment. :)

By the way, you've officially quoted Richard Dawkins more than I've quoted the Bible. So congrats on that.

>More times

I've quoted him twice officially, I know for a fact you've quoted the bible at least thrice.

And on the topic of derailment, this thread was always science v. creationism.

There is no denying evolution

I challenge you to actually link a thread where I started quoting Bible verses at someone.

And on the topic of derailment, this thread was always science v. creationism.

A person can be religious and believe in evolution at the same time (I disagree with this, but it can be done). The topic is about whether or not Evolution is true, so by switching the subject to the validity of religion we are derailing. (It's almost close to thread-jacking at this point)

And on the topic of derailment, this thread was always science v. creationism

well i tried to keep it to the science and not give an opinion on religion. Of course since the only people denying evolution are the creationnist, i guess you are partially right. I did link a few videos on evolution vs creation, but most videos were only about explaining the mechanisms and evidences about the theory of evolution.

A good way to rerail the thread would be to explain me why you disagree with evolution. What part of the theory of evolution you think is inaccurate?

The main part of Evolution that I do not follow is the long-term part of it, where a creature resembling nothing like a human eventually turns into one. I can believe in minor changes, such as larger brains and body sizes due to better nutrition and such, but farther than that and it gets difficult for me to believe.

To be honest, I get skeptical on any theory that tries to say what happened 10000+ (or whatever huge number) years ago. Which is why I don't tend to argue as vehemently on those topics, because I'm uncertain myself.

Is it just the human part that troubles you? For exAMple what do you think of the evidences supporting that the whale comes from a 4 legged land mammal?

What the hell?

Carbon dating does not work... carbon does not exist in fossils. You always have to find a piece of carbon with the fossil, and presuming the fossil and the carbon sample have been there the same length of time, you can come to a conclusion. It is highly doubtful that this is a good, reliable source of information especially after recent research with regards to the experts of the palaeontology field.

...it dœs...do you know how Carbon Dating works?

Yet another ignorant statement by colonel Harthacanute. I'll let you in on a little secret: carbon dating is not used for fossil nor to determine the age of the earth. So everything you wrote is complete bullshit that you learnt i don't know where, but certainly not in a science class.
I linked the material for you to educate yourself on the matter, but i can only do so much for you.

edit: i actually hadn't fully read you post before the reply, so i hadn't measure how wrong you were. Even for carbon dating, we do not need to find "a piece of carbon" near to the thing we want to date. Carbon is the basis of life. Everything that was once alive has carbon in it. In fact this is the basis of carbon dating (we can't date rock with carbon dating for example)

This thread has been entertaining.

I find evolutionary science fascinating (though not quite as cool as Physics or Chemistry). I believe in God. I don't particularly mind if other people choose not to believe evolution happened, but I believe it did happen. The evidence is overwhelming, and while God could have planted the evidence, I see no logical reason for him to do so.

This is refreshing, thanks, i was starting to think that all religious people on warlight were fundamentalists.

I was thinking of starting a thread for all the cool stuff about science. Maybe i'll do it tomorow.

Evolution does occur. The problem is that nobody can say how the universe came into existence. Evidence is different from proof.
