    Nope. Just your interpretation. I'm an atheist, so it's no skin off my nose... but pretty insulting to the millions of Christians who are okay with using science.

    Do proponents of the evolutionary theory know their own history?

    Yet you don't use it as an attack on Christians who don't agree like you do for people who accept evolution. Racism was alive and well before the existence of the scientific theory of evolution. Specifically a favourite example of professional Creationists is Hitler, who opposed the...

    Do proponents of the evolutionary theory know their own history?

    Misrepresentations and dishonesty... exactly what I've come to expect from Ken Ham. The fact that historical figures had repellent racist beliefs and misrepresented scientific evidence to support them isn't surprising or news. It's also not supported by actual evolutionary biology. Do you...

    Do proponents of the evolutionary theory know their own history?

    You're supposed to provide context and commentary to information on this forum, not just provide a link. Also, use of theology to apply to science is against the rules.

    I'll take demonstrable, verifiable processes over your emotional preferences and you personal conviction for a specific interpretation of your religion.

    God's sense of humor... behold, the platypus!

    It's a kind of mammal that retains the egg laying trait found in basal synapsids. Its closest living relative is the echidna:

    The need to put precise specifications and contingencies into a question to make a yes/no question appropriate isn't demonstrating a strict binary.

    Earlier I said: Accepting things because you have evidence for them is logical. Making inferences, based on demonstrable patterns and principles is logical. But when you quoted it you left me as saying: Accepting things because you have evidence for them is logical. Making inferences, based on...

    Inside The Worlds Most Unusual Fossil Site - The La Brea Tar Pits

    I've never seen coherent evidence that doesn't require miraculous intervention at every level. Genetics and biology don't demonstrate the genetic bottlenecks and wholesale extinction of prey species after a ark event. Geology doesn't demonstrate the destructive results of a flood deeper than...

    An incomplete list of facts is still a list of facts. Facts are true statements. (I hope your cut off statement "Making inferences, based on demons" wasn't deliberate.) But not, stating that accepting things we have evidence for and making inferences from demonstrable facts is anything but...

    Inside The Worlds Most Unusual Fossil Site - The La Brea Tar Pits

    Not to get into a pedantic philosophy of science debate... but all your examples are pretty dependent on circumstances and environment and not at all absolute. Solid/Liquid/Gas are only really exhaustive and mutually exclusive at our normal temperatures and pressures... and even gravitational...

    Hello Mr. Owl...

    That isn't true. The trait "Has ears" is very useful on its own. The trait "Has slightly asymmetric ears" would provide more information and wouldn't be a particular hindrance if you didn't have specialised processing for it. Also, vertebrates already have the ability to adapt to changes in...

    The belief is attested... but not justified with scientific evidence. The Great Flood requires extensive miraculous intervention at every level during and after to replace the physical consequences of flood destruction and mass extinction with physical remnants that have a completely different...

    Association of symbols and the ability to create and communicate symbols is a sliding scale in my opinion.

    We can't and we don't have to. Accepting things because you have evidence for them is logical. Making inferences, based on demonstrable patterns and principles is logical. You keep referencing logic and rationality, but your usage seems to be counter to any normal accepted version... can you...
