Evolution isn't even a real word. It means nothing. Inventions don't "evolve", transportation and communications don't evolve. The sun and moon are NOT evolving. No chemical elements surge upward: all radioactive material disintegrates. The universe is not integrating, it is exploding outward. [...]
Well, come on evolutionists show us a man evolve from a monkey. Let us observe it, since this is what science is. Let us observe a star evolve from hydrogen. Let us see a bird turn into a twix candy bar. Come on SHOW US HOW GREAT YOUR GOD OF SCIENCE IS.

We'll show you that if you can show us inarguable proof that your god can raise a person from the dead. This person has to have been certified dead by an accredited doctor or coroner, and then observed under your prayers to see if he comes back to life.
It's just as likely as a living thing evolving into an unliving thing -- a bird into a Twix bar.
SHOW US HOW GREAT YOUR GOD OF SCIENCE IS
Live in a house that stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer?
Drive a car much?
Drive it over bridges and roads?
Take meds when you get sick?
Type nonsense on a computer?
Watch television ever?
Use prescription glasses or contact lenses? Or ever have corrective lens surgery?
Have an iPod?
I could go on, but you've already been buried to your neck...
Here's something really sad, I can actually explain how transportation and communications actaully did 'evolve'(in a sense they did) off the top of my head. But that's not really the sense the idiot should be arguing it it, that is not the truely scientific sense that most people believe.
Thou shalt not put the great god of science to the test. Oh, wait: Science has been put to the test, over and over, and has passed with flying colors. The fundy god, on the other hand ....
Jesus saves, give up. You have no idea what evolution means and, please, don´t keep saying more nonsense.
Well, nuclear fusion has been demonstrated in labs fusing hydrogen into helium. It releases tremendous amounts of energy in the spectra we observe coming from the sun. Thus, from the earth, it looks very much like the sun is fusing huge amounts of hydrogen into helium pretty constantly. While that could potentially be wrong, it isn't very likely to be, since we've been observing and testing it for decades.
Still, it does not "evolve" in the sense you are implying. In fact, nothing does.
1. Look up "evolution" in the dictionary to prove that it is, in fact, a real word.
2. Learn the meaning of the term "metaphorical usage."
3. Learn the difference between astronomy and biology. (I could make a crude reference here about not being able to distinguish between a black hole and an anatomical orifice, but I'll demur.)
4. Learn what evolutionary theory ACTUALLY claims. (Hint: It doesn't actually have anything to say about stars or Twix.)
5. Learn that science certainly is not a god or any supposed word of a god; it doesn't even have anything to say about any gods, pro or con. That is strictly religion's schtick.

OK, but first, show us how to make a woman out of a man's rib, show us a talking snake and show us you can live in a whale's stomach for three days.
My, but that is one retarded poster. He gets his ass handed to him by a few posters on the thread, then goes on to say further down:
"First, why do you bring up YOUR religion? The Bible is NOT a "belief" system. It is a HISTORY Book. You brought up "believe". God didn't ask you to believe anything. The words "faith" and "believe" don't appear in the first 12 chapters. And, YOUR belief has NOTHING to do with facts. I believe in facts, history, math and science. The Bible is the only mathematical, scientific Book on the face of the earth."
It's obvious we don't have the same definitions of history, mathematics, and science as this fundie fuckwit.
umm...
"Evolution isn't even a real word. It means nothing"
Evolution is indeed a real word, It means Unfolding or unwraping
"Inventions don't "evolve", "
Which is why automobiles still look like carriages without a horse in front
"transportation and communications don't evolve"
Not in the biological sense no, But we now use jet airplains and cell phones instead of steam locomotives and telegraph
It gets worse folks,,,
"Let us see a bird turn into a twix candy bar"
What the fuck? sure bub,, A bird turning into a candy bar is ... CREATIONISM!!
There is no "God of Science." That is why it is science. If science offends you so much, please stop using it; I'm sure it would appreciate the consideration.
I really don't feel like rehashing this idiotic "evolution/monkey" debate, so I will simply tell you that none of the scenarios you describe have anything to do with evolution. In fact, if any one of them did happen, I think it would pretty much undermine the theory completely (though as there is almost no chance of any of these, I see no problem with that). The word "evolution," in its literal sense, only refers to living organisms--with the possible exceptions of a)the first genetic materials, b) first few organisms that did not meet all of the requirements for life, and c) viruses, which are debatable as living organisms. In any event, stars, satellites, twix candy bars, chemicals, inventions, etc. are not alive, therefore, they have no bearing on an argument about the validity of evolutionary theory. In the future, please keep your absurd reductions to yourself.
I'm... beginning to doubt the sincerity of MANY of these posts now. If Carico is a troll, maybe my faith in humanity was justified, and I was right in thinking that no one could possibly be this stupid.
I can dream, right?
All right, I'm ignoring most of your post because you're obviously a lost cause if you think evolution means birds can turn into Twix.
But... "Evolution isn't even a real word"? Come on now. If a word is in common usage, it's a REAL WORD. So unfortunately, irregardless is a real word (although a completely retarded one), and evolution is definitely a real word, because it's been in use for quite a while now.
Obviously, the argument concerning populations and large quantities of time is lost on this one, but what I find more amusing is that the demands he makes are never considered with regards to his own religion and his own god.
Science, which is just the observations of the natural world and the rules by which it operates and is not a god or intelligent entity of any kind, you pusillanimous failure of causality, put a man on the moon and cured all those diseases your god was too incompetent to do anything about. We live six times longer then "god" intended, can do things that would have had Jesus worshipping US if ever saw the wonders we have wrought, and in the end, god is dead. He was killed in a petri dish by a biologist working to cure leprosy. He was buried under a mountain of elves and unicorns, and was mourned only by the select few of his cultists who still cling to the notion that he was real, and not just their way of feeling good about being unrepentant assholes to the rest of the human race.
That answer enough for you, moron?
You've got this all wrong. Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor, which wasn't a human or monkey. Also, we evolved over thousands of years, most likely in response to the environment at that time, making it impossible to "show you a man evolve from a monkey." Hydrogen is an element, not a living thing. Evolution does not apply to it. Twix candy bars are not living things. Again, evolution does not apply to it. And if want to see evidence of evolution occurring, check out Professor Lenskis E.coli experiment.
I can recall when "the net" was something you used when playing tennis or basketball, when "surfing" was something young men in California and Hawaii did at the beach and "google" referred to a number. In my lifetime, those terms have acquired new meanings. The English language has evolved.
“Evolution isn't even a real word”
What? ‘Change over time.’ This fails, why?
“It means nothing.”
Okay. Just play with your coloring book, then, the grownups have things to talk about.
“The sun and moon are NOT evolving.”
No, they’re not. Not in the biological sense, but in the more basic sense of the word, yes.
“Well, come on evolutionists show us a man evolve from a monkey”
Except evolution doesn’t claim that.
“Let us observe it, since this is what science is.”
Wrong. Repeatable observations is what science requires, not eyewitnesses.
“Let us observe a star evolve from hydrogen.”
Again, words seem to be difficult for you.
“ Let us see a bird turn into a twix candy bar.”
Now you’re just too stupid to live.
“Come on SHOW US HOW GREAT YOUR GOD OF SCIENCE IS.”
Maybe eat a dictionary?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
