Ride a city bus sometime. You will see folks under five feet tall and over eight feet tall. Which one is the average? Whose remains represent all the others? If they all died and some evolutionist came along eons later and selectively chose one skeleton to make a believed progression, which one would he choose? Remember that he can ignore 99% of them. And the left-wing media, in league with the deception, will go along with it to help deceive the masses.
Some people suffer from malnutrition today. How many of them will end up in a museum display of the future as “proof of evolution” when actually their less developed or deformed bones indicate nutritional deficiencies showing real, testable-repeatable biological processes instead?

There are people over 8 foot tall on your buses? Where's that, Brobdingnag?
'Remember he can ignore 99% of them'
No, he can't.
"Ride a city bus sometime. You will see folks under five feet tall and over eight feet tall."
People over 8' tall must be boycotting the Metrobus system where I live.
"Remember that he can ignore 99% of them."
They'll leave that to the creationists.
Isn't it obvious? Those 8-footers that pabramson encounters are actually Nephilm , and they are visible only to him and others who have the gift of discernment through the Holy Ghost.
Either that or he's just another lying, stupid fundy.
Variation is at the center of Darwinian natural selection. Paraphrased:
1. Organisms produce more offspring than can be sustained by the environment.
2. Populations do not expand continuously.
3. Therefore, organisms within a population compete to produce offspring. In other words, reproductive fitness varies among individuals.
4. Variation exists within populations.
5. Some of this variation is heritable.
Therefore, organisms with heritable variation that promotes reproductive success will pass on their traits with greater success than others. AS a result, the reaction norms for traits in populations change over time.
I don't see why this is hard to understand.
i ride the bus sometimes, but it must be the wrong bus - I've never seen 8 feet tall people, not once, not in US and not in germany!
Question, isn't evolution science?
"And the left-wing media, in league with the deception, will go along with it to help deceive the masses."
It's not their fault, it's the Nephelim that are pulling the strings.
"How many of them will end up in a museum display of the future as “proof of evolution” when"
My estimate: zero. A fundie's estimate : all of them. You make the common mistake of assuming all the scientists in the world combined are not as smart as yourself.
Oh yea, I see people over 8 feet tall riding the subway all the time.
And then I wake up.
Pabramson needs to learn something about how evolution works, what it actually is, and he really needs to stop lying to justify his denial of reality.
"Ride a city bus sometime. You will see folks under five feet tall and over eight feet tall. Which one is the average?"
You answered your question there. The AVERAGE. They take the the measurements they find, and average them out.
"Whose remains represent all the others? If they all died and some evolutionist came along eons later and selectively chose one skeleton to make a believed progression, which one would he choose?"
All of them. To get a viable cross-section of human development.
"Remember that he can ignore 99% of them. And the left-wing media, in league with the deception, will go along with it to help deceive the masses."
Tin foil hats for everyone! Yay!
"Some people suffer from malnutrition today. How many of them will end up in a museum display of the future as “proof of evolution” when actually their less developed or deformed bones indicate nutritional deficiencies showing real, testable-repeatable biological processes instead?"
But that's just it. Even today, we can look at bones and see evidence of deficiencies. It likely wouldn't be much different later.
"In science vs. evolution - I choose science."
No, you don't. You choose to cover your eyes and ears and accept what has been spoon fed to you.
Your hypothrsis is intriguing, but I disagree because:
1. Paleontologists would look at as many skeletons as they can, that's how you get an average [Or did you fail math?]
2. It is a very small amount of the population that is deformed and it doesn't quite make them look less evolved.
Question, isn't evolution science?
Not in Abramson's world. Creationism is science and evolution is religion.
I'm sure he's getting the "99%" from estimates that 99% of all life that ever existed didn't get fossilized.
Doesn't change the fact that he's wacko bonkers, though.
The shortest and tallest people I've met have been 4'11 and about seven feet. FAIL!
(both were girls, and both were the same age, incidently. One was half-Cambodian, the other was just American.)
"In science vs. evolution - I choose science."
No, you don't. You create a grotesque caricature of science out of your religious preconceptions.
Gad, I hate these liars.

Someone had stated that Adam was 15 feet tall, based on nothing at all.
Sorry, that ain't science. It ain't "Christian Science" either, or even Scientology.
As science fiction, it sucks.
"Ride a city bus sometime. You will see folks under five feet tall and over eight feet tall."
[whisper] I see dead people... [\whisper]
Well, dead from the neck up.
I'm about 5'2, thanks to heredity- slightly taller than my mother wh is slightly taller than my grandmother who was slightly taller than my great-grandmother- but I sometimes see men shorter than me on the subway. Even from down here, I have never seen anyone three feet taller than me. Robert Parrish was slightly over seven feet and one of the tallest on the Celtics at the time, so I have no idea where this nut gets his info. Pituitary giantism often results in severe back problems, so if someone that tall did exist, they would probably be bedridden, not riding public transit as a strap-hanger.
From time to time I post about my experiences re public transportation, Metro in DC to be exact.
So... Did I ever tell you about the time I was on Metro and I hooked up with two guys; one 4'8" and the other 8'6"?
Well, I got them home and we started in on this really freaky three-way scene.
Here's the bummer/yummy part - I was REALLY disappointed in the 8'6" guy, BUT 4'8" and I are about to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. You're all invited and BYOB!
People over eight feet tall on a city bus? Where the hell do you live? I love fundie creationists who come up with conspiratorial anecdotes which seem to point out about THEIR lack of morals, by projecting this unethical behavior (which THEY have thought up themselves) on others without a speck of proof.PS You seem to have mis-typed in your last sentence. Instead "science vs. evolution-I choose science", you meant to say "science is evolution-I choose science". The other way makes you look like a complete dolt who doesn't understand the definition of simple words like "versus" and "is"!
Andreus -
Can't rightly remember the last time I saw an eight foot tall man riding the bus into town with me...
Ah, Andy, he was sitting down. Haha
I doubt you'll see that one known person, out of the entire world's population, that's >8ft tall. On a typical bus.
And the fossils.. that ONE person that's huge or small, THAT is the one who gets fossilized. Riiight.
Oh no! They're trying to co-opt the science vs. bs line! FUCKERS!
I like how as part of their axiom set, they believe that everyone gets money from those who believe blindly in them.
Some pills make you larger, some pills make you small ...
You wouldn't know what science was if it jumped up your ass and ate your appendix.
"In science vs. evolution - I choose science."
- Considering your gross ignorance of both concepts, your choice hardly carries any merit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
