Re: Start conducting an honest discussion, Seeking
Is there a possibilty similarities in our genetic structure are due to someone or something forming us to all cohabit on the planet?
Only if that someone or something is an idiot or severely limited in its creative abilities. Why else would that someone/thing give the octopus a fantastic eye, yet the rest of us tetrapods this ridiculous back-to-front eye with a blind spot? Why have I, a bipedal man, the same bone structure as my quadrpedal relatives? Was I designed to get severe back-ache? What idiot thought it would be a good idea to use the same opening for respiration and ingestion of food, leading to death by choking? And why are my genitalia in such an exposed position? As a quadruped, they're nicely protected, but as soon as I stand upright, they're there for all to attack. Talking of genitalia, why is my body's sewage system integrated with my love-making apparatus either your someone/thing really hates us, or it's a complete fool.
Interestingly, the reasons for all of these issues become astonishingly clear when we consider evolution...
By the way, did you have a particular someone/thing in mind when you mentioned this?

Re: Start conducting an honest discussion, Seeking
Without any proof of this single celled ancestor being able to multiply forth into the multitude of animals we see today,im afraid my point still stands.
No, it does not. Your point was:
quote:
... due to fossils being somewhat brittle in nature,that the actual fossil record doesnt support the fact of evolution.Would you agree or disagree with this statement made by rahvin?
and the issue is that Rahvin did not say this. Having been called upon this dishonesty by an admin, you simply whine about your point still standing. This is both pathetic and very poor debate. Please acknowledge your error and retract the statement.

Re: and finally for now
i can understand the practical implications of what discovering an organism like this holds.Basically you could seed the deserts,multiply endangered animals and solve food shortages.
You seem to be confusing the Theory of Evolution with some other saltational/front-loading theory. Are you sure you meant to say this, or are you just confused?

Re: an example of the hubris of disbelievers
Do you really, seriously, deny that you are being massively arrogant when you suggest that you are in an appropriate position to judge the 'smartness' of the above luminaries and hard working lab guys?
I am frankly, astonished. You need to get off your high horse for a moment their bud, otherwise its going to be very difficult to communicate with you. You really are the electrician-denying lunatic from my previous example if you are sincere in your belief that these scientists are not smart.
I was beginning to think tht Mod was a god, but here he shows us that he indeed just another human being I remember when my patience was at this level, just before it vanished into the distance never to be seen again...
I have to say that my repsonse to this knuckle-dragging stupidity from Peg would be more profanity than dialogue, so all credit for somehow managing to keep this civil. And well done on some awesome posts in this thread - great stuff.

Re: The theory of evolution contains no magic. That's the "other side's" theory.
I happen to believe in it, but I know some scientists that don't
Out of curiosity, what do they believe?
