the only problem with the timeline you suggest is that noone was there to observe it. what i mean is no missing link anywhere anytime at all so you are back to square one. variations. that does not prove the over all theory only that variations happen everything else is conjecture and speculation. you yourself said the "one observation". what does that mean? why is that huge? and how does that translate into 'the distinct sequential progression/change on a lengthy time' through observation. the only way to do such a thing scientifically would be to pass on our theories to our ancestors and have them verify our hypothesis in a time far greater than recorded history, so again no proof just faith and no science. Ok the theory of evolution says we came from nothing right? a singularity. what does that mean? does that mean that the Universe came from nothing which would violate some law of thermodynamics? i.e. energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed. I mean really lets talk laws of physics here because the theory of evlolution directly contradicts those laws. look you wont find any proof just a bunch of 'know-it-all's' telling you what they think the truth is. the truth is that people are grasping at straws trying to extrapolate this crappy theory that has holes in it everywhere. and you are being duped into believing it. the question is why are they doing this? and the answer is: so God isnt in the Creation anymore and, subsiquently, you dont have to follow the Law anymore. you think about that and write back.
Um no the evolution theory is extrapolated from one observation: the variation of species. There is no other evidence rolling in. If you could show me some I would be glad to see it and review it. So...show me something:)
Actually, I meant it in the common usage and scientific usage of the word which, thankfully, is listed on wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory. If that relates to apple pie or cherry pie then go figure. Oh and before you flame off again I suggest you do some more research into what you are talking about before you spout off about something you just take for fact because you read it in a book somewhere that looked like it was scientific in nature. Truth be told, sir, evolution theory requires faith to be believed. You think about that and then decide if you want to try and put me down again. Go ahead push my head in the sand to make yourself feel better. To me, you just sound like youre mad and want to punish someone for it.
Semantics? Isnt this article toying with them too? Creationism is a hunch that some find appealing? Doesn't evolution do that too? Evolution doesn't function very well as a scientific theory either, namely, there is no proof in the many gaps in the theory, for example: explain the 'evolution of the elements above Iron, or show me how living things came from non-living 'soup' or explain where the matter came from to create it. Please dont say billions of years ago there was a singularity that came from nothing. The only thing that can be observed by science is that there are variations in species. You see science is the study of the observable universe. The theory of evolution cannot be observed or proved. So, the theory of evolution is a faith. And according to your contention that creationism has sought to advance itself primarily via the political arena is rather absurd seeing as how the book the theory is based on, the Bible, says that it is in the world and not of the world. And it says that the world will reject it. So your argument is false and political itself. And you yourself are arguing semantics using words like formal and informal definitions. I appreciate your interest; however, i will not insult you at the end of this post because you did say something. I just dont see why you defend evolution over creationism and i really dont see why you have a problem with two theories. One theory says we came from nothing and the other theory says we came from God. I prefer the latter and you the former. I prefer to put my faith in God and you prefer to put your faith in nothing. I think you might want to either think about that for a while or laugh at my beliefs but either way the whole idea here is to at least get you to acknowledge that to believe in evolution, faith is required. That fact makes it a religion. You can argue semantics all day long with me but a religion is what it is. It is not provable. Faith is required. I'll take my religion over yours. That is my choice. Don't brow-beat me for my conscious decision. If you dont agree then you dont agree.
I don't know if anyone of you have ever thought about this but here goes. Ok, over time, the house of representatives has gotten larger right? So, that means that the public is losing power simply because more representatives per capita equals less power per vote per person. Over time, the senate has remained the same size while the population has grown so the people are losing power again. And finally, the president has remained one person (or so we are lead to believe), so, logically as the population grows, the more the people lose power and the more consolidated it becomes. If you are having a hard time with this just think back to the original colonies. Let's assume vermont had 2 senators for 50,000 people and 20 representatives in the house and one president. I know that isn't historically acurate, but just for the sake of argument, let me have my way with the numbers to simplify my argument. Now, today let's assume vermont has 2 senators and 5,000,000 people and 2000 representatives and still one president. What is going on here? It appears to me that as the population increases, the power of government increases. So, if the population of the US in the 1790's was around say 200,000 or so the people's vote would mean a great deal more and the votes of all the representatives of the people (ie the president, senate, and the house of representatives) would mean less. This is my thought. I believe that the people of the USA are losing power everyday and the elected officials are gaining and consolidating the lost power in a power vacuum. I mean, it has to go somewhere right? We are slowly being bread into slaves. That is the only logical conclusion. We just dont know it yet. Now flame away you slaves.
I for one think that theories should be just that, theories. Now, that being said, one could conclude that evolution is a theory. One could also conclude that creationism is a theory. So, for this article to presume to attack creationism as an ideology and not a theory is logically an error. In addition, for this article to presume that the theory of evolution is not an ideology is also an error in logic. Think about it before you flame me people. And please no troll marks as my logic doesnt deserve it.
sucks for you guys. too bad you were in the military when an asshole national guard awol bitchass was in office pushing his right-wing neoconservative nazi agenda. ill bet you will think twice before sending your sons into battle for some bullshit war. let me ask you one arm one leg guys something... where is bush and co in the darfur region right now? isnt that just as noble a cause? Isnt that cause worth losing a leg over too? you lost your dignity to some nazi wanting oil domination over china. pathetic and i have no sympathy for you. you deserve your fate for being stooges and the american people should be ashamed. i know i am ashamed of america. im ashamed of america. nazi pigs should have all been hanged by now but they reside in the white house and you elected them there. you fought for them and lost legs and arms for them. you killed iraqis for them. all in the name of oil and world domination. well limp along and live your fate. no pity here. you deserve your fate. dont talk to me about freedom either!! if freedom was your tune then we would have finished this war in 91 so stfu about freedom. this is oil you dumbass one handed bitches. and pretty soon it will be a dictatorship in america so this might be the last time i get to rant about how i see things going so if you want to give me shit then great. soon i wont be able to get away with speaking my mind if all you rightwing bastards have your way like on fox news. you will just bully me and tell me to shut up like o'reilly does right? and you think america is still free. free to whine when you one handed motherfuckers come back and bitch cause you pissed off a buncha arabs. and you should be surprised after the pics of abu gharaib? you guys made your bed now limp in it. humanity has nothing to do with this war and you deserve none of humanity. Mr bush you are a peice of shit, both you and your father. your father is a son of a whore. you are the son of a dog. you are a disgrace to humanity. may God judge you soon. May God wipe george bush and his whole family off the face of the earth. and you limping one armed people may God have mercy on you for being so stupid to follow an evil loser like george bush the total pussy who couldnt even make it to war to serve his country--he had to hide.
I think its is a really crappy copy of Mac OSX that has already been subject to viruses and malware. This essentially means that it is just Windows xp SP3 without the playschool look. If you want truly great hardware and the ability to run any OS you want, buy a Mac and forget this bloated, glitchy, virus-infested copy. Mac 5 years and still no viruses! Windows 5 years and 115,000 viruses and counting!
Um...This won't affect my Mac one bit:P *yawn* I kinda feel bad for PeeCee users though. Well not really. You get what you pay for. It's just unfortunate that you chose the cheap route. It's kinda like eating at McDonald's and expecting to stay healthy.
Tell me something guys: Where did all the matter in the Universe come from? Where did the energy come from to create it? Have you heard of thermodynamics? How about a phenomenon known as the conservation of angular momentum? Look guys, the earth is slowing down ok? That means it was going faster. So, millions of years doesn't work let alone billions. Centrifugal force anyone? You do the math but it really screws up the so-called theory of evolution. We came from and oscillating singularity? We came from nothing? Sounds way too far-fetched to me. It also diminishes my value as a human being. There is simply no evidence what-so-ever for evolution. Show me some evidence. Show me something. Or, stop calling me a troll. I don't think I deserve to be personally attacked because of my opinion. I don't belive evolution is part of real scientific work. It is speculation at best. In addition, I think that it's a worthless excersise. It has no benifit--even if it were true.
What I find difficult to understand is how you know all of this? Were you there? If not, then your argument is really just some kind of religion based on a set of beliefs that some guy thought up after some extrapolation from other OBSERVABLE phenomena commonly know as variations in species. I have a question: If evolution were true, how do you explain that some of the planets and moons are rotating backwards? How do you explain that some of the moons are going backwards around their planets?

Wow great links to a bunch of articles but again I see no proof. Where is the proof? Please treat me like im two and show me because i saw none.
