    They're exactly like mims.

    " sees cracks in accepted theory."
    you don't understand science, do you?
    That statement makes no sense at all.
    It's a theory, are there unknowns? of course, just like every theory.
    Does the current data support the theory? yes.
    You can not be scientifically literate and not know the theory of evolution is based on facts.
    The idea the the theory of evolution means there isn't a god is wrong.
    The idea that atheist 'have to believe' in the current theory of evolution no matter what is also wrong. Give another reason that explains the current data, as well as make predictions.
    Yes, evolution makes predictions and yes they have panned out.

    " But hardline atheists have no choice but to resist any alternatives to evolution"

    False and backwards.
    Bible literalist have no choice then to deny the theory of evolution regardless of evidence.

    You supply a better interpretation of the data that can be falsified? then Athiest will drop the modern version of evolution.

    And it's not Darwinism, it's the theory of evolution. Only people who are unable to accept the fact that new data can chanfg a theory understand that. ANYONE who calls the theory of evolution 'darwinism' does so solely to create an ad hom attack and show they are unable to look at data.,

    You sir, are ignorant of this subject and as such should shut up.

  8. What an ego mania. on Interviews: Forrest Mims Answers Your Questions · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Another idiot talking outside his expertise.
    He has no clue about evolution, thinks darwin wrote everything about it, and can not understand new data.

    Lets me clue you in:
    If we found out, right now, Darwin made the whole thing up, it wouldn't matter because of the amount of other data we have collected, the number of accurate predictions that have been done, and a completely lack of understanding of the second law of thermodynamics.

    This guy doesn't belong in any science magazine.

    "But I am unaware of how naturally random processes could have led to the first life forms, much less the information encoded within them."
    so that means it's not real? Are you aware of how mas bends space? no? well I guess gravity isn't real either.

    Darwin escape clause? I guess top someone who is a clueless dolt bent on reading something and not impacting their narrative it would seem that way. IN reality it's nonsense.

    no. The Mob has nothing on Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda is a global organization bent on destruction.

Maybe some of that money moves through a well connected political corporation? Maybe if people know who they are it will spark a series of attacks?
