Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
Please feel free to actually name these supposed 'scientists' who are against the historic, genetic, biologic, geologic, chemical, anthropological, and indeed even economic evidence for the TOE.
Hello Anglagard, welcome to the discussion. I would be happy to answer your intriguing question, but first let me clear something up. Are you mentally ***?
Its fine if you are because I can type slower if need be. T h e r e a s o n I a s k i s b e c a u s e I j u s t l i s t e d 3 s c i e n t i s t s, a l l o f w h om a r e e x p e r t s i n b i o l o g y.
So if you are *** I can certainly understand why you would ask this question. If you aren't *** and asked the question anyway, then I can't understand why you asked it. Of course its also possible that you wouldn't know that you are ***.
So please clarify this for me. Maybe you were looking for me to list 4. Maybe autistic people like 4? Or maybe 5? But if I named 5 are you sure you wouldn't ask me to name 6?
Anyway, nobody needs to feel bad about being ***. That's really the main point I wanted to make here.
Even if they didn't have the benefits of being home schooled by American fundamentalists like the fictitious me.

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
What in the world makes you think that Behe offers incredulity as his evidence for what is wrong with evolutionary theory. When you start off so wrong so early in your post it makes carrying on much further rather uninspiring.
But since you feel the ToE is so science based, and simply a reading of the facts, please give 3 or 4 of your favorite examples of evidence for the ToE. This should be easy for you since there is so much. Pick the best 4 that have the strongest weight in your opinion if you don't mind.

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
Please present your 4 favorite pieces of evidence for the ToE in order of preference or in order of the weight of conviction that you feel it carries (Thankfully, Percy has personally guaranteed to support my request for evidence).
Thanks.

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
I asked for four actually. Since it is the most tested and proven theory in the history of science according to you, this should be easy.
Is it hard coming up with 4? You know I just don't want to shoot down your one piece of evidence, and then have you come back with a whole other tangent of evidence you have decided is more worthy after we see that your STRONGEST bit of evidence is really not so strong.
So are you going to just stay with one, or do you want to try for 4. Its a pretty small number you know (for the MOST proven theory in history-isn't that how you like to put it?)?

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
I don't think its very good form on a debate forum to tell me I have to go look up on google for your 4 strongest bits of evidence. Are those the ones you are going to choose or not?

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
If you are saying you can only come up with one, please say so now.
I am just trying to be fair to you-because if I cross off your evidence right away, I don't see how you can argue with any credibility on the topic on evolution when your only piece of evidence you were willing to provide has been debunked. Its no fair changing the game later now is it Crash?

Chirp, chirp, chirp....
I will give you all plenty of time, so you can be sure to come up with your personal all-star 4. I want you all to make sure you choose your best.

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
Are you here moderating Percy. I thought you promised you weren't going to do that on this thread, since you were participating in it.
Isn't it also oddly suspicious that you have suddenly chosen my post as being off topic? Have you read the other posts? Did you read the post you wrote yourself about the mountain and the exodus. You even felt it necessary to post a huge Google map. Was that map related to MY topic?
Maybe you are just trying to prove my OP true. Thanks, but its really not necessary. I can prove it myself.

This is the whole point of the bullshit.
I originally wrote a long post here, but I have decided to just make it simple. I see that Percy has already decided to concede defeat in the evidence department.
Your forfeit is accepted.
I won't follow you back into the biology forums and allow you to continue to attempt your same old moderation hypocrisy.
I asked for evidence, as as soon as I did, Percy throw up the white flag.

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
Fine, so I shall ignore your post about my asking the posters who are claiming that their theory is valid to back it up with evidence.
Thank you for supporting me in asking them for the evidence for their claims-as you have so vehemently proclaimed you will always do.
So Huntard, would you like to choose 4 or is it hard for you too?

Huntard, if you have complaints, please take it to the appropriate forum for whining, or else stuff it up your bum kindly.

Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.
Or rather, I think I hear, tap, tap, tap, tap...as all the fervent evolutionists rapidly pound away on Google "evidence for the theory of evolution".
I am worried that anthro.palomar.edu/evolve/evolve_3.htm website is going to get some unexpected spikes and start to crash.

Please take your whining to another forum
Percy has given his solemn word that he will always support posters asking for evidence when the claimants are being evasive.
I know its times like this when your side really needs Dr. A. He is perfect for saying something totally meaningless and so utterly boorish to read that its good for a temporary diversionary tactic. He can actually cause people's brain to freeze for a while as they try to comprehend what they just saw.
Are you the best they have for this right now monkey?
Dam, where is Dr. A??

Do you all need a time out?
Look if you need a time out its fine. Its what most good coaches would do at a time like this.
Give yourself time to take a breath, to rethink your strategy. Maybe figure out how you can stall the clock a little. Maybe you can private message each other to come up with some new line of defense? Take your time. Something will come to you.
