Name: Awinger
E-Mail: dajoneses@juno.com
Comments: Sorry to disoppoint you but your religion is probably not the one you should stick to:

for one thing you cannot identify evolution as a "science" as it is only a model of the way our universe could have come about.It also violates several laws of physics :the "big bang" beeing a ridiculous voilation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Also there have been no (and I mean no when I say it) discoveries of transitional types of invertebrates. And please dont try to entice people to your piont of view with carbon dating - it has been proven inaccurate. And all "human transitional" fossils have either been mangled or diseased to my knowledge.

Another thing, if you want to know what's biased around here : National geographic ran a story on a "Dino-bird" fossil only to be de-funked when it was found to be a fake . . .and how many people heard about it? I smell a rat. do you?

Also I would like to ask you to be a little more polite about the way you catagorize other people it is absolutely inexcusable in a debating environment to name other people "pseudoscientist" and other phrases meant to artificially blunt their statements when you have no complete backup for it.

please E-mail me back if you have any dissents about my arguments or if you would like more details or backup for my arguments.
Notice how his first paragraph betrays the usual stupendous ignorance of basic scientific philosophy, the second paragraph contains the usual creationist lies about radiometric dating and "no transitional fossils", the third paragraph contains the infamous "global scientific conspiracy of fraud" hasty generalization fallacy, and of course, the fourth paragraph contains the usual whining about how I should be nicer to stupid people.

Do they churn these dumbfucks out in a factory somewhere? They always use variations upon the same stupid bullshit arguments.

Ah, yes. On another message board, I've been debating a "genius" who likes to claim that science is just another religion.

Anyway, just send this joker a link to talkorigins and then ignore him. Particularly, try this one: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-research.html It provides several examples of witnessed evolution.

The problem is that they don't believe in birth control. Then they reproduce at an alarming rate.

I love this. He thinks that the Theory of Evolution is just a model for the creation of the UNIVERSE? What?

He then goes on to say that the Big Bang violates thermodynamics.

He accuses Mike of having a religion.

He dismisses all discoveries of transitional invertebrates as flawed, because carbon dating is inaccurate in certain circumstances (and even then not by enough to throw off evolutionary dating, in almost all cases). He then dismisses the difficulty of discovering transitional invertebrates, even though they are clearly more difficult to find (as, by definition, they do not leave skeletal fossils).

He then goes on to point out one example of a Piltdown type and then concludes that science is always biased. But he wants Mike to excuse him because he begs for civility when he is being classified with all the other morons.

Mike, please E-Mail him back and dismiss all of his claims as irrelevent. I also love how he assumes that you might need more back up for his arguments.

That doesn't say much. English is a pretty easy language compared to say, Chinese or Japanese.

The worst creationist arguement seriously floated that I debated was a guy saying birds couldn't evolve from dinosaurs, and he used a pigeon and an alligator as his "proof."
