And then what's the probability of the proteins combining to form a lifeform. Then what's the probability that it will mutate. And over billions of years we get humans. I have whole books that say why evolution is false. I have evidence from my science teacher, who has a degree etc., that it is false.
Now, of course I'm guessing you all believe the big bang theory too. So why do we have colliding galaxies?
I do know the theory of evolution and the theory of probability.
What is the probability of a car falling together given a big chunk of metal, the plastic, the oil, etc.? None at all. OK, it's about 0.0000000000000000000000000000000....five years of typing later...0000000001%
And I have no rational thinking capacity? At least I know PHP.
As an intelligent-design believing Creationist Christian, I don't think this proves anything.
This plugs one hole in the fossil record. There are still hundreds/thousands left. Also, I disagree that it puts to rest *all* scientific doubt about this species. I'll be flamed for this, but intelligent design is rapidly growing as an accepted scientific theory for the creation of the world.
I still haven't seen any evidence that birds could have evolved like this. Why? Because since when are mutations good? It's impossible to have a good mutation *specifically* where and when you need it.
I draw the line at when someone else's freedom is stopping me from exercising my freedom. If Bird Flu's freedom is going to kill me, I will pick safety rather than freedom.
Same with terrorism: if terrorists are going to blow up my town, I would rather stay alive with a little less freedom than be dead.
Still, why is there always an anti-government attitude on/.?
They're not really free: you have to work for them - sign up for offers, do stuff, refer people and at the end of a few months you get the free domain. This is a business run by someone, not a domain giveaway. The people who bother to do the offers will use their domain for a good reason.
And I thought the basis of the civil rights movement was that everyone was equal. If that means that I sacrifice some of my freedom for the safety of the general public, so be it.
Why is everyone so worried about the government using their data? I would rather not catch a deadly disease and not have my town attacked by terrorists than keep anonymous. The government (usually) isn't evil, you know.
Let's do the math:
We'll start with $1.
1 yr: $1.07
2 yrs:$1.14
3 yrs:$1.22
After three years that's 22%.
Do this with a million dollars and you've got a BIG problem.
There's the OSS philosophy: give in just because the software is good. Opera may be a good browser, but OSS people don't stand up for their beliefs because there is good software.
Free Software advocates do stand up for their rights and refuse to install proprietary software. The only times I use proprietary software are at school and on other peoples computers. (because I have to). But the open source people will compromise. RMS wouldn't.

Bacteria do become resistant to drugs, I'll concede that.
But here is why it is a mutation, and only a mutation, and not evolution.
(This is what my science teacher observed when I did my School Certificate Science exam.)
Bacteria adapts to the antibiotics *before* it sees the drugs. True evolution requires that it sees the drugs first.

When did I say that I actually believed the fossil record? I don't. I believe that God created birds and fish on the 5th day, then mankind on the 6th.
Guess what? I'm sincere.
please don't call ID a scientific theory, since it meets none of the criteria.
So what's the criteria?
It is not accepted by anyone except fundamentalists.
I am a fundamentalist.
Really, even the catholic church agrees that ID is not science, and that evolution happens.
Why do I care for what the catholics say?
It must be difficult to be that backwards.
It must be difficult to be that closed-minded.
And you couldn't find a single trace.
Really. There are WAY TOO MANY fossil holes to say that they evolved.

After seeing this I added it. (Really: go and look!)

It is, but I don't have a credit card...

70% Funny 30% insightful. I agree with whoever said insightful.
I'm using Fx1.5 on Win98, on a dell laptop with a 500mhz processor. non textured runs quite OK.
No, you're ignorant.
And I thought the basis of the civil rights movement was that everyone was equal. If that means that I sacrifice some of my freedom for the safety of the general public, so be it.
You've answered your own question by asking it.
Why? I care about freedom of speech, but if I have to pick between freedom and safety I will usually pick safety.
Why is everyone so worried about the government using their data? I would rather not catch a deadly disease and not have my town attacked by terrorists than keep anonymous. The government (usually) isn't evil, you know.
I can't believe someone modded you insightful. Maybe Inciteful would be better.
how is it funny? I'm quite serious. I wish I had mod points to mod you down.
It's to make people think about what they are buying. If domain names were free, then everyone would register everything and not think about it.

ICJ? Oops, I forgot that the US is stupid enough to boycott the ICJ and ICC.
