That's not quite correct. Evolution is a fact not subject to belief or
disbel
ief. It's not even subject to debate. The theory of evolution is subject
to
debate, however. The mode and tempo, that is. It does not entertain the
inqu
iry of the origins of life.
Anyone who would consider evolution to be in question need ask himself/herself
whether gravity is in question; and in fact it is not. Gravitational theory the exchange of gravitons and

Morals in Russia (preUSSR)
We are having the same heated argument in the HolySmoke forum with one Jesse
C Jones who touted the old Soviet Union as "evil." When asked to enumerate
th
e whys of this "evil," he proceeded to list actions and ideals which the
Unite
d States had engaged in as well.
When this was pointed out to him by mostly at first myself and my
brothe
r, Jesse demanded that we were "defending communism." When we pointed
ATHEISM
It is not. It is the lack of beliefs in all the gods, goddesses, ghosts,
demo
ns, vampires, et al. posited by humanity.
Atheism doesn't 'propound' anything. It is a lack of deity belief.
Agreement. The rise in violence seems to indicate the dieing gasps or

Greetings, Steve!
I'm glad to see that Jammal specifically stated that he decided to "hoax
the h
oaxers" otherwise he would be remembered as the "anti-noahian flood guy."
A
s it is he's managed to made CBS realize that some of the Goatshit that
they p
resent as "documentary" is nothing of the sort.
I should send the guy a "well done" (if someone knows an address, please
forwa
rd it?) It has yet to be seen whether his

I, for one, don't _want_ this clown in HolySmoke. This kind of atheist
we don
't need in an educational forum. (FREDRIC HAS SPOKEN!)

This is a delightful little echo, as you may have noticed, which specializes

Ralph was the poor man who thought that the classical Christian bibles were

Er, no, actually. It is not stated as opinion because it is not. All too
oft
en there is the confusion between the fact of evolution (speciation of living
things) and the theory of evolution (the description of that known and immutab
le fact.)
Please, I do not wish to do your homework for you. Rather you point me
toward

a biologist who claims that evolution doesn't happen somehow as that's a
biolo
gist I want to talk to.

How dare you!? Personal attacks! <harumph!> <snicker> I'm sorry. There
is
a McCarthyist lawyer in another forum who spouts "personal attack" every
time
someone issues a sound debunking of his McCarthy beliefs.
Me thinks it does, though.
<laugh!> Yep! What we need is a biologist. I could tempt Martin Goldberg
to
venture into this forum, post a message or two, and then perhaps to slink

Neat! The fact that Christians seem to be more willing to rape children
than
atheists could well be a manifestation of god working in their life.
