why do evos always resort to long-dead people -- and their ideas -- in reference to science and the human body? Don't you have any modern-day disproof that light isn't a two-way street when it comes to vision?

'Cause the question was settled centuries ago, dumb-ass.
What's this clown's hang-up with vision anyway? does one of his goofy-ass theological ideas hinge on a misunderstanding of optics and anatomy?
Um, wouldn't everyone who wrote the Bible be, well, *dead*? And have been so for a very long time? Longer than any evolutionist?
SuperStupid, I presume...
Now he wants to know why there has been any changes to some specific area, yesterday he attacked science for changing all the time and refereed to religion which has not changed for 2000 years. These morons can never make up their minds.

Since Supersport clearly isn't talking about a high-end sports car...yes, it sounds incredibly stupid , but I've come to avoid expecting any better from him.

Ditto.
@Lucilius: "What's this clown's hang-up with vision anyway? does one of his goofy-ass theological ideas hinge on a misunderstanding of optics and anatomy?"
He believes that vision is "a two way street," in that light from outside meets light coming from inside our eyes to produce the images we see, outside our eyes .
He insists that the idea of the images we see being created "inside our heads" is ridiculous.
@ wackadoodle
"We dont have to. Thats such a stupid idea and so easy to disprovse someone did it over a thousand years ago and no ones been dumnb enough to question it since"
I know of one person who is dumb enough to question it...
No Superspot, you can't prove a negative. Science doesn't have any "disproof" for anything. Science can only prove ideas, and even then, the proof is provisional as counter evidence could be presented at a later date. Science doesn't disprove anything, any idea that has not been proven is just assumed to be false.
First, since science is always evolving, then most of us DO have modern day advocates who know what they are talking about. Now, in regards to relying on long dead people for ideas...
says the guy who thinks he can debunk carefully tested modern theories with a book of myths created by people that thought the earth was flat.
Also, WTF is the last sentence supposed to mean?
I'll give you same offer as I gave someone else the other day. Meet me at my local university library, I'll pay for parking, and I'll take you to the piles and piles and piles and piles and piles and piles and piles of research that has been done in the last 100-some years. There's even some more piles available online which you can access freely while you're there. And that's in a fairly modest library.
Either way, I want you to explain what the hell you're talking about with this two-way vision. I didn't understand it last time it came up either. Closest thing I know of to that is the tapetum lucidum which reflects light back through the retina so it has a second chance to be perceived and the stuff that's not absorbed (usually due to excessive light, like car headlights) produces that characteristic eyeglow of nocturnal animals. Humans as a species are not nocturnal and don't need nor have those.
@Thammuz: Commonly stated as "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
@903574: Creationists don't seem to grasp the distinction between different areas of scientific study. It's common for creationists talking about the origins of universe to use "evolution" to refer to the Big Bang, the formation of stars and galaxies (yes, stellar evolution is relevant here but you rarely hear creationists talk about that and when they do they often get it hilariously wrong) and abiogenesis, as well as to evolution of life by means of natural selection. Though this is strictly true in the sense that the word "evolution" simply means "a change over time", no scientist would talk in such imprecise terms.
"why do evos always resort to long-dead people -- and their ideas -- in reference to science and the human body?'
IF he was indeed real, Jesus died a long time ago too, shit-for-brains.
Physics /= biology.
Supersport = idiot.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
