Ah, yes, because rambling wildly about something you know nothing of is a much better proposition than accepting what the experts say about it.
And of course they are duping us!
Because you know, these people who study science all their lives would never think to actually check their results, would they?
No, they are all unintentionally misleading the public on the back of unconfirmed reports and half-baked studies, or deliberately tricking us with their incessant mantra that "evolution is correct" and never actually doing the research.
Honestly, do you ever actually read what you have written? It's a broken record of looped creationist complaint: that because we don't know exactly what happened in a certain instance therefore the entirety of what we do know is incorrect, and we must have exactly one explanation, not none, not more than one possibility, otherwise all (nonsupernatural) explanations are invalid.
If you are uncomfortable with untrained people such as Modulous -- who did include the disclaimer that he is not a professional biologist -- providing their opinions on possible sources of altruism and social behaviour, then it should be a simple matter to either:
  • provide alternate explanations yourself;
  • find a properly trained biologist to give you an explanation which can be passed on to the forum;
  • study biology yourself and research the phenomenon in question, then present your findings to us;
  • give reasons why the proposed explanation is insufficient;
  • or shut the fuck up and let us do the above for you.
    Please note that "whine about 'evil-ution'" is explicitly not included in the list above.
