This sounds like a cross between a MacFall post and a Donald Trump TV show: Kuhn Kant feyer Abend!

Sir Percy:
I'm looking for an explanation for why evolutionists choose evolution? What is the reason? They come from all faiths and nationalities, yet they all accept the same lie. Why is this? It's more economical than paying for a golden calf. And it's so much fun to walk around thinking I have spare jawbones tucked inside my ears. Archer All species are transitional.

AO, you have just got to keep up with the latest evolutionary theories. Since it has been well established that humans were well developed by the time of the dinosaurs, as proven by their co-temporous foot prints, we know that humans preceeded dinosaurs and reptiles. It is the reptiles that have spare human ears inside their jawbones. We now also know that the dinosaurs were driven to extinction by human over hunting. Those week attempts to blame it on an asteroid are just childish finger pointing to divert attention from ourselves.

I can't help but notice that no anti-evolution folk have made an attempt to address this most excellent post.
I wonder why that is? "Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends! Well I say there are some things we don't want to know! Important things!" - Ned Flanders "Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." - Thomas Jefferson

if there's no God, we can eat babies. Jeez could not someone have told me this like 25 years ago? Would have saved me a bunch of money.

I'm glad to see that none of my fellow creationists have risen to the evolutionist's taunting and baiting comments. It shows that we are just so above this kind of nonsense.
I've gleaned many of my insights from some of the best informed creationists who have visited here, like True Creation, Tranquility Base and Faith, but in reviewing some of their threads I see I may have misinterpreted them. They often say there is no evidence for evolution, but in other places it they say that creationism has much evidence, and it is the same evidence used by evolutionists, just interpreted differently. I don't believe they're contradicting themselves. When they say there's no evidence I think they intend it as shorthand for, "There's no properly interpreted evidence for evolution." So it really comes down to disputes about interpretation rather than about imagined evidence. But this causes no meaningful change in what I'm puzzling over. When new evidence is uncovered, why do scientists always glom onto an evolutionary interpretation? There must be literally dozens of other valid interpretations of the evidence, why always evolution? I don't get it. --Percy

When new evidence is uncovered, why do scientists always glom onto an evolutionary interpretation? There must be literally dozens of other valid interpretations of the evidence, why always evolution? I don't get it. Because there's money to be made in shilling for evolution. How many gullible rubes fork over the donations - including governments with more grant money than sense - when evolutionists go on cable TV and ask for donations? It's a hell of a lucrative profession. Beyond that of course is that upsetting the applecart (and ruining so-called scientists' money machine) would cause extreme censure by their peers. You think a biology teacher at a university would ever get tenure (and a guaranteed job for life where they didn't actually have to produce anything) if they published anything that contradicted the prevailing dogma? Hell, they can't even admit that past lies were made even when caught out - look at Haeckel's drawings still be used by evolutionists!

I don't get it. Each time we glom a discovery onto evolutionary theory we set a new record for vast left-wing conspiracy. This is evolution's only real achievement, but it counts. Do you have any idea how tough it is to get millions of people worldwide to keep a secret? We're aiming for a personal best. _ Edited by Archer Opterix, : HTML. Edited by Archer Opterix, : Typo.

Evolutionists had logically deduced that if they were to gain control of the countries political institutions they had to put aside their theological (yes, evolution is just another religion) differences and unite with a common front that focused on a few 'hot button' issues. Hence, they initiated the secretive 'Sledge' strategy to pound their way into government control. The strategy has work with the election in 2000 of an avid evolutionist president and supporting congress. This president is now working to promote the Sledge strategy agenda with his 'Science Based Giving' initiative, his 'Spray the Course' stand to protect golfing ecology, and his directive that the federal government buy only Japanese cars to show his full support of the 'Toyoto Accords on Global Warming'. (He did make a slight misstep when he mistook these accords to be promoting Global Warmongering.)

You're right, AIG--it's time I caught up with the science. Thanks. I went to the DVD store an hour ago and bought all the Flintstone documentaries. Archer All species are transitional.

quote: And, as you've already asked, why the same evolutionary interpretation? Why not other versions of evolution, like Lamark's ideas? And, to make explicit what I think you are saying here, surely there are other possible atheistic theories of the origins and history of our world. If the data really can be interpreted in other ways, where are the other God-denying interpretations of that data.

quote: This is another point I never understood. Surely there would have been an opportunist that would have decided it would be to her advantage to blow the whistle on the whole enterprise (think how lucrative that would be), and then other people who would see the advantage in jumping on the growing "let's bash evolution" band wagon.
