DBlevins Human Origins and Evolution Why are there no human apes alive today? I've been glancing at this thread from a distance. Suspensions, insults, etc etc. With all that going on (to a lesser degree now) DBlevins lays out a comment to Mazzy that is understandable, insult free, detailed, to the point and easy to grasp, no matter what side you're on. If your on the other side (like myself who's a Creationist)) this post makes it very clear where the "Evolutionist" is coming from, if anything. It deserves some recognition IMO.

Seconded. I agree that DBlevins has done a far better job than most in dealing with Mazzy. His response was clear and direct and informative. Well done. Your beliefs do not effect reality and evidently reality does not effect your beliefs. -Theodoric Reality has a well-known liberal bias. I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.

Forum: Science Thread: Why are there no Human Apes Today Post: Turkana Boy Message 749 Caught Mazzy in a self-contradiction worthy of a Perry Mason episode (in reverse). It's all there, fully documented for the world to see. The denouement: quote: Hilarious! Dr A would get my vote for the office of prosecutor for any state based on this post alone. Sure he would do a better and more honest job than some, or even many. Edited by anglagard, : Had to add link for those to young to remember, had to add 'in reverse' for at least one person too old to remember - Perry Mason was the defense attorney! Edited by anglagard, : Put some bones on this nomination (oops, just saw Dr A did that already in his next post). Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon

We may be seeing Mazzy has not yet responded at the bottom of that post for a while. Your beliefs do not effect reality and evidently reality does not effect your beliefs. -Theodoric Reality has a well-known liberal bias. I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.

Biological Evolution Transitional forms in existence today A simple yet effective demonstration showing the nature of transitional forms. Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate ...creationists have a great way to detect fraud and it doesn't take 8 or 40 years or even a scientific degree to spot the fraud--'if it disagrees with the bible then it is wrong'.... -- archaeologist

There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other WT Young, 2002 Who gave anyone the authority to call me an authority on anything. WT Young, 1969 Since Evolution is only ~90% correct it should be thrown out and replaced by Creation which has even a lower % of correctness. W T Young, 2008

Here is a bit of GM reply.
"No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it off to forced conscious expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten." — Hunter S.
