Seriously though, I don't know why people like ODC think Creationists are the ones that should accept evolutionists' points. Evolution involves the same sorts of things that you can't see or touch or hear that Creationism involves. If you've actually seen evolution happen, then I want to take a couple puffs from your pipe. I'd like the same for Creationists. Both theories of our existence involve a level of faith, and for some reason those that construct this faith around religion are casted off as the wackos.


Scream out that you have made no serious attempt at all to research this subject.


I don't see any problem with what I said above. Your continuing failure to counter the points in the passage leads me to believe that what I said flies in the face of everything you stand for. And as we will see, I'm right...

Davo, Iâ??m not claiming to be â??smarterâ?? than you â??? though very likely I am. I am going to state that Iâ??ve (almost certainly) been a working engineer and scientist for longer than youâ??ve been alive. On a day-to-day basis now I am doing work in a field that is almost entirely derived from the theory of evolution that is so disparaged here. I understand the mechanisms of evolution on a detailed non-biological level on par or better than most experts in the field. The work Iâ??m doing now can be loosely categorized as â??genetic algorithmâ? and â??neural net.â? Software that learns and adapts. Programs and systems that improve themselves.


So if you're smarter than me because you've worked as an engineer longer than I've been alive, how can my ideas and thoughts offend your life's work so deeply? I figure you've had this debate many times before and your responses would be well-thought out and meaningful, yet all you can talk about is how much smarter you are than everyone else. The purest form of self-aggrandizing is thinking one can even come close to understanding our existence. Since you practice this above, I can only conclude that you are either perpetually stoned or clinically insane.

Evolution is one of the most basic features of our universe. It is so well substantiated and proven that people who question its existence can most kindly be described as â??silly.â??


Again, that the Earth was flat and that the Earth was the center of the universe was so well-substantiated and proven at one point or another. For someone who claims to be such an important part of the scientific community, you don't know the history of science for Jack Schitt.

When I first started posting in this thread, I did so mostly for the novelty of arguing with people who actually doubted whether evolution occurs at all. A weird and alien way of thinking.
The novelty has worn off. This is just not interesting anymore. It is unsettling in the way that having a conversation with a tragically brain damaged person would be. Great sympathy for the individual, but nothing to be gained by staying on.


And I came in here to help people such as yourself understand that there are people on the other side of the debate that think you're as big a crackpot as you think they are. I will accept your non-response to said attempts as evidence of my success.

Davo, I am not going to post here anymore. In fact I'm not even going to open this thread again. Count on it.


I hope you don't run when posed with alternate worldviews in your personal and professional career.
