Why is evolution so controversial?

It isn't. A "growing" number? This has been a mantra of religious kooks for several decades and yet none of them can show any such "growing" number.What the National Center for Science Education has shown, however, is that for every scientist you can mention as an evolution naysayer there are multiple thousands who aren't.Ever heard of the Steve Project?Some choices here.Either you picked this crap up from some creationist website that has been lying to you which makes you look like an idiot, orYou know this is a lie and you really are an idiot.You're in here unarmed trying to do battle with the monster.You might want to consider actually finding out what you're talking about before returning.

I should hope so. Neo-Darwinism went out years ago. The Theory of Evolution is now many steps in advance of what used to be called the Modern Synthesis.Such a lack of knowledge on your part is understandable. You do not know what you are talking about.But let's get down to it ... Prove it.

Wow. You really don't understand what's going on, do you!

It is done. As you command, Sire.

Ph.D., Natural Resource Ecology, University of Michigan The NCSE list is for all scientists who support evolution. Even Linguists.The challenge in this thread is for you to list scientists who have a "degree in the biological sciences" who do not support evolution.I very much doubt you inadvertently missed this. You chose to ignore it.The only "lying" going on here is yours. You can't meet the challenge so you blow smoke, obfuscate, misdirect, lie.Real piece of work you are, Pebblebrain.Edited by AZPaul3, : wanted toEdited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

So did I, apparently.I did not realize that I despise you. Someone could have let me know, sent me a message, an e-mail, something. But, noooo! Y’all just let me continue on despising the ideas without any thought of despising the person herself (someone I actually kinda like in an oppositional crazy-person sorta way, but I guess I’ll have to give that up now. Pitty).Anyway, I am sorry for coming into this so late.I did notice something. You didn’t need anyone to defend you. You did a pretty good job defending your personage self all on your own. Like Nukes said, when you’re right, you’re right.Now, you do have major problems defending your ideas. But, then of course, your ideas are quite inane, despicable, bigoted and amusingly entertaining. Again, this has nothing to do with despising the person with the despicable ideas. Although most will not even try, there really is no difficulty in separating the two.Honestly, even if you insisted that I do so I doubt if I could despise you personally.But your ideas? Whoa! What a crock of Edited by AZPaul3, : title
