Can anyone take the Theory of Evolution seriously?

The modern "synthesis" is everything BUT a synthesis: it is a hotch potch of quite disparate views concerning just about everything.

Leaving aside the abject failure to account for abiogenesis and the genetic code, evolutionists are bitterly divided over the nature of evolutionary change, the mechanisms behind it and even the definition of "evolution" itself.

Darwinists have had to deal with "heresy" after heresy in respect of the established "orthodoxy" with the Saltationist controversy, the Neutralist controversy, the Directed Hypermutation controversy, the Punctuated Equilibrium controversy and the Endosymbiotic controversy. All of these theories have exposed serious flaws in the accepted scientific "wisdom".

You only need to put two palaeontologists in the same room and watch them excoriate each other over whether some African fossil is an early hominid or just an extinct ape creature.

Moreover, those who contend that speciation ( as with microorganisms) has been "observed" do so only because they stretch the definition of a species to that of a particular strain , or a particular variant is infertile and cannot breed with its own kind ( as with polyploidy in plants).

The only reason "scientists" like Dawkins are so vociferous is because they want to drown out any investigation of the facts and stifle genuine debate...and the facts indicate that the theory has some serious flaws.....

are you prepared to "accept" a theory with holes in it?

  1. All scientific theories have holes in them, that is the nature of science.

    Between that, you trying to use big words to sound smart, but can't even get hodge podge right in your first sentence, completely destroys your credibility.

    Go to school, grow up, then come back when you at least know the basics of what you are talking about.


  2. "are you prepared to "accept" a theory with holes in it?"

    Um, as opposed to what? The creationist theory, which is so watertight? Please.

  3. as answered the previous times you've asked evolution questions, yes, many people do take evolution very seriously.

    now, please pay donna her child support. dont be a deadbeat dad!

  4. I do.

    just because you don't doesn't stop it from happening, though.

  5. The only reason it isn't a scientific law yet is because of religious nuts like yourself. So, yes I will believe in this theory with the so-called "holes" in it.  

  6. Let's see...scientific inquiry invites dissent, and actually publicizes the differences of opinion out there, while nonetheless working from observable phenomena.

    Religion...discourages dissent, often to the point of killing the dissenters (well, that's not fair, they haven't been doing that in the West for a few hundred years now).

    What a choice.  What a tough tough choice.

  7. Nice misrepresentation there.  

  8. Umm Pastor, the DNA tests have come back. You are the father of my children, now send me my child support!

    EDIT: typical christian father who doesn't want to pay his child support.

  9. You don't need to use big words to sound smart.

  10. I' am not. I have rejected evolution. Even I can see evolution is impossible, and I' am not a scientist. 'nothing' can't explode and create something. Life can't come from non-life. Also, there are absolutely no fossils out there that show one kind of animal turning into another kind of animal. A dog will always be a dog. Amazing, isn't? That with all these kinds of animals, and there isn't one fossil that will prove that they have changed into a different kind of animal. Also, this world is so complex that there isn't enough time in the world for it to evolve randomly! Let's takea  car for example. Lets say that you have all the parts needed to make a car. A person would think I' am an idiot if I said that those car parts were randomly going to start moving and form a car. A car needs a designer! Our human bodies are way more complex than a car.  

  11. Well,  The Bible is nothing but a huge myth.  A great read, but totally fiction, yet there are many people who accept it as truth.

  12. I don't take the "evolution" lie seriously at all.

    "Evolution" didn't even start with Darwin.  He stole it from the Babylonian pagan "mystery" cults.

  13. Can anyone take religion seriously?

    You can put down everyone's religious arguments right here and have the same questions still.


  14. The theory may be a hotbed of discussion, but this - unlike you seem to think - does not mean the basic idea is in any way discredited.

    They built the LHC because phycisists are not sure how the universe works. This is no different.

  15. It's sort of like underwear, if it has too many holes it's no longer useful

  16. Only the vast majority of the global scientific community.

    P.S. Debate invites inquiry, which funds scientific research, which pays scientists' mortgages.  Scientists have no motive for stifling debate.

  17. After that stunning display of logic, can anyone take you seriously?

    "If there's one problem with evolution and it's not simple, it must be completely bunk and creationism 100% correct"

  18. Yea, I am. It's still logical.

  19. Evolution, though not perfect, is still a h**l of lot more believable than God making man out of dust, and a woman out of his rib.

  20. *drink*

    Theory of gravity ALSO fails to account for abiogeneis.  

  21. I agree,the word "evolution" in your question alone cracked me up.

  22. i never thought i would say this PWIII....

    but you have smoked yourself retarded

  23. A better question would be "Can anyone take the bible seriously?"

    Oh, and there is no such thing as a "Darwinists".

    [DONNA: Who created DNA?

    Answer: God did.]

    Who created god?

  24. Winnie, hotch potch?

    Also thanks for giving a demonstration on why creationists should never be allowed to hijack education in schools.

  25. Some 'intellectuals' claim it is pr oven fact already. I believe what Genesis tells, so did Jesus

  26. you are dead wrong about speciation. It has been observed in fruit flies.

  27. I accept that no scientist has all the answers and that evolution, like every other theory, is constantly being modified and updated.

    You might as well suggest that the universe doesn't exist because if you put Galileo, Newton, Einstein and Stephen W. Hawking in the same room, they'd too have a pretty lively debate.

  28. I can't.

  29. yes, i want to help those holes be filled.  

    even gravity has holes in it. are you ready to accept gravity?

  30. Yes I do accept the theory evolutuion, Just becuase it isn't perfect doesn't mean its wrong. Scientists are working on evolution everyday of the week, and soon it will be 100% proven, and there will be denying it. Just because we don't know something doesn't mean we have to fill it in with a god, or gods.

  31. You don't need to take the theory of evolution by natural selection seriously - any more than you need to take the theory of gravity seriously. Both are true whether you believe them or not.

    But then to believe them, you need to understand them first.
