Racmanaz Loc: Sunny Tucson!

Absolutely wrong, there are many examples of species that were considered extinct for hundreds of millions of years only to be proven wrong. These species have very little to NO evolutionary changes at all which flies in the face of Darwinian evolution. I posted many examples of living fossils, you just happen to reject that due to you presuposition to Darwinian evolution.

slocumeddie Loc: Inside your head, again

No Rac.....99.6% describes the percentage of real scientists who accept evolution as valid !!!

Racmanaz Loc: Sunny Tucson!

Lol wrong

With your background you wouldn't have a clue to understanding what is, as you spend all of you time trying to spread "what isn't." You have been told again and again, but your mind is closed by ID worship. Please read this:

"The international sequencing effort led from Max Planck chose a bonobo named Ulindi from the Leipzig Zoo as its subject, partly because she was a female (the chimp genome was of a male). The analysis of Ulindi's complete genome, reported online today in Nature, reveals that bonobos and chimpanzees share 99.6% of their DNA. This confirms that these two species of African apes are still highly similar to each other genetically, even though their populations split apart in Africa about 1 million years ago, perhaps after the Congo River formed and divided an ancestral population into two groups. Today, bonobos are found in only the Democratic Republic of Congo and there is no evidence that they have interbred with chimpanzees in equatorial Africa since they diverged, perhaps because the Congo River acted as a barrier to prevent the groups from mixing. The researchers also found that bonobos share about 98.7% of their DNA with humans—about the same amount that chimps share with us."

AAAS by the way is the American Association for the Advancement of Science, not an ID pushing site.

You are pathetic Rac, and it is getting worse. Knowledge surrounds you, but you refuse to look. Instead, you choose to remain stuck in your quagmire of ignorance, and not even God will pull you out. Free-will huh Rac?

If this confuses you, then ask Bangee and your other cohorts, like ID, to give you the "real" truth.

James Shaw

You are wrong but once again, Rac, and you continue to turn a blind side to reason.

How many new recruits today, Rac? Are they running to your side? Probably too embarrassed by your ignorance and intentional self-deception, but probably they feel sorry for you, anyway? That should make you feel better?

Sorry but he whole idea is completely unintelligent, just unintelligent.

James Shaw

No Rac, you are confused. Theories are theories and you don't understand. And you have not stayed up with "what is." You are too busy pushing "what isn't" and you do not understand what science is all about.

Overwhelming scientific evidence supports evolution and has since Darwin published his first book on the subject in 1859. You have a lot of scientific reading to do Rac.

Your push to discredit evolution is utter foolishness and ill fated, and it makes you look like a damned fool. You misuse and abuse science. I suppose because you think it discredits the Bible? Get over it Rac. What is, is. You can still believe in God.

James Shaw

No, Bangee, it is not bashing. Many educated, highly educated, individuals from various disciplines of science support what is said in that video, and the courts in America have investigated and agree. ID is superstition and cannot be supported by science and is forbidden to be taught in schools. Listen carefully to the video.

James Shaw

You are the one who is wrong Rac. Wake up to the real world.

James Shaw

Faith and belief in the big bang theory are in different realms and have nothing to do with each other. You are sounding like Rac, who consistently and falsely attempts to equate science with superstition. They are separate realms that do not intertwine. To attempt to do so, shows absolute foolishness.

James Shaw

And many continue to celebrate Halloween, Bangee, but parents know the difference between paganism and fun for their kids.

James Shaw

Your words Bangee: "How can anything that I don't believe in hurt me?"

Consider what would happen if you did not believe in God. Wouldn't that non-belief have an affect on whether you go to heaven or the "hot place" when you become garden soil. Wouldn't that hurt you? lol

Racmanaz Loc: Sunny Tucson!

away for a few days, so have fallen behind on this thread, but I felt that Rac's statement, above, needed factual rebuttal.

Your error, Rac, lies in your not understanding biological systematics. When we say that coelocanths are an extinct organism, the statement is based on the failure to find any members of the coelocanthiformes, which is a group of transitional species between fish and tetrapods. Notice, please, the plural of species in the previous sentence. There are at least 14 species of coelocanths (coelocanthiformes)known, but there are only 2 surviving today. The others went extinct. We do not find samples of the extant species in the fossil record, meaning that they might have made their appearance relatively recently as the group changed over many missions of years, that is, they evolved.

Your comments about Tiktalik also warrant rebuttal. Your assertions are made up of holed-cloth that you (or someone you choose to believe) have fabricated. There has been no scientific rebuttal of the putative role of Tiktalik as an example of a transitional form, and saying so is simply not true. If I have somehow missed scientific reports of this "fact" in my 40 years of teaching about evolution, please send me the references and I'll be glad to reconsider my opinion.

I don't expect you to change your mind in response to my comments - you are too deeply committed to a non-scientific world-view, and choose to believe non-scientists such as Kent Hovind over data and evidence. However, if your wild claims are allowed to remain unrebutted, others with more open minds might conclude that you are correct when, in fact, you are not.[/quote]

The fact the you said " "fact" in my 40 years of teaching about evolution, please send me the references and I'll be glad to reconsider my opinion." Shows you have the strong presuposition to naturalism and therefore will turn a blind eye to any other plausible theory that challenges the Darwinian evolution religion.

Yes, sadly like you, unintelligent.

"evilutionists" deny that we are evolved from chimps for the same reason that geneticists deny that you are descended from your cousin when the truth is that you share many familial traits because you and your cousin are descended from some common ancestor, your grandparents.
