Why do creationists always do the Gish Gallop?
Same reason why, every time the yellow-eyed bully and his cohorts would attack, Ralphie's little brother would just drop down and lie in the snow: it was his only defense.

IIRC, the orientation of the heads is based on where the spine attaches, so they would be in their natural positions. This is one of the things that differentiates chimps from hominidae.

... And I'm gonna point one detail to you. In that picture of monkey heads, ... There were no monkey heads in that picture, they are all apes. Your failure to correct this blatant error is indicative of inability to recognize errors on your part.
... WHY IN THE WORLD, ALL the heads except the last 2, are tilted forward??? ... My first impression is that they are all arranged in their natural attitude. If you look at a chimp today you will see the head is at that attitude.
... Who are you trying to fool with that cheap trick. Do you really think the majority of the people is that stupid? Why the last one (Sapiens) is perfectly resting in an horizontal position, while ALL the previous ones are tilted forward. Look at the jaw bone line. Look at the back of the head. Well, here's the reason why: Because if you let them rest in its natural position, THEY DONT LOOK AT ALL LIKE US. ... Except that they do -- it doesn't really matter what the attitude of the frontal pictures are when you look at side views, and you can see the similarities from the side views regardless of orientation.
... But somehow they have to find a cheap way to justify their jobs, and satisfy the demand of those on top to brainwash people. Those ugly monkeys in the pictures barely have a forehead. They HAVE to tilt them forward to make them look somewhat a little similar to an homo sapiens and create an optical illusion of a transition. ... It is amusing that you are so offended by the actual natural history of humans.
... It is unbelievable the level of desperation these people reach to try to make that stupid theory work. ... Yep pictures of actual fossils are so deceptive ... Seems to me that you are desperately seeking things to hang your biased beliefs on. Denial of the evidence does not make it go away, nor does it alter the evidence in any way.
... Even an idiot can see it! lol -- I have to agree with Dr A. Can you tell me which of these skeletons are human?
The only alteration is to scale them to the same height from knees to shoulders ...

Thank you Dr. Those are the answers we always get from "the experts" The fact that 2 chromosomes fused happened because 2 chromosomes fused, happened because they were fused. In nature that does not happen. Simple as it sounds. If it happens, show it and prove it. To add to the information provided by Dr A, see Message 251 and additional information is provided by mules and zebroids quote: Mules generally have 63 chromosomes, between the 62 for the donkey and 64 for the horse. Interbreeding shows relatedness, while chromosome differences show divergence from their ancestral common ancestor population. The issue for reproductive success is not the number of chromosomes, but the arrangement of the genes on them. Combining or breaking chromosomes does not change the number of genes, it does affect the alignment of them during the combination of egg and sperm into a zygote. Chromosomes are the vehicle that helps facilitate reproduction within a breeding population by aligning the genes.

All this ranting about geeks and nerds.
Did they bully you at school or something?The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer. -Attributed to Buzsaw Message 53 The explain to them any scientific investigation that explains the existence of things qualifies as science and as an explanation-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 286 Does a query (thats a question Stile) that uses this physical reality, to look for an answer to its existence and properties become theoretical, considering its deductive conclusions are based against objective verifiable realities.-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 134

Proud of being a bully? You are offensive too.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Pride is an emotion that would be the subject of study on a different thread. To be honest, I do not consider myself offensive. However, I do put an effort in exposing stupidity and arrogance through a process of logic and reason that is undeniable. And one of the reasons for that effort is that we live under a system of "belief" Either religion or science. In the case of science, we are forced conventionally to "believe" what "experts" say when in reality is all speculations. Day by day they are re-writing what they know because they keep discovering new things. It is an infantile behavior in which thy start from the base that they are the maximum expression of evolution in the universe. They know everything. Nobody before them could know more than them, and nobody in any part of the universe can know more than they do. Therefore, every time they discover something new, it has to be rewritten. Nobody can criticize that behavior because we all "believe" they have the supreme truth and the last word. In reality they are a bunch of retards, nerds and geeks who deduce some sort of sexual pleasure mating monkeys with humans.

Only it looks like a pitiable confection of lies, gibberish, and self-serving fantasy.

They know everything. Nobody before them could know more than them, and nobody in any part of the universe can know more than they do. Oh sorry, it's gods.
Therefore, every time they discover something new, it has to be rewritten. Hmm, could be either one, I'm going with priests.
Nobody can criticize that behavior because we all "believe" they have the supreme truth and the last word. My mistake, you are definitely talking about gods.
In reality they are a bunch of retards, nerds and geeks who deduce some sort of sexual pleasure mating monkeys with humans. Oh, OK that changes everything. You are talking about Catholic theologians! I should have seen it from the start!

In the case of science, we are forced conventionally to "believe" what "experts" say when in reality is all speculations. One of the things that's always fascinated me about physics was the amount of stuff that individuals can actually verify for themselves. Perhaps if you weren't recommending reading anonymous ancient writings over stuff we can actually check on our own, you might be able to generate more credibility.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. Galileo Galilei If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

In reality they are a bunch of retards, nerds and geeks who deduce some sort of sexual pleasure mating monkeys with humans. You're forgetting the other half of the usual anti-science rant. You forgot to argue that scientists have split personalities - that they're absolutely brilliant when it comes to creating sat-navs, building brain scanners, constantly creating new medicines and treatments, firing rockets into space, inventing computers, learning to warn against tsunamis, predicting where to find oil, working out those pesky sub-atomic particles, and loads more stuff which is frankly indispensible in modern society, and which works fantastically well - but that they only become these "retards" when they say something which goes against your beliefs. I reckon it's something they put in the water at university.Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Hi Djufo,
How do you reconcile this:
To be honest, I do not consider myself offensive. With this:
In reality they are a bunch of retards, nerds and geeks who deduce some sort of sexual pleasure mating monkeys with humans. Any time you decide to begin introducing evidence for any of your outlandish claims, we're ready. --Percy

The Theory of Evolution.
A Theory is an educated guess and Evolution is a term of observation, "we watched the play evolve." We don't know the plot so we make an educated guess about what is happening. So the T of E is"the guessing of guessing" We guess when we don't know, so guessing is a sign of ignorance /not knowing. So the T of E is"Not knowing what is not known" Where should we begin in such a study?

We should begin by rejecting anything creationists tell us, as creationists are 180 anti-science.
So, why should we listen to them at all? They have no evidence, just apologetics.Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?--Robert A. Heinlein It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers If I am entitled to something, someone else is obliged to pay--Jerry Pournelle If a religion's teachings are true, then it should have nothing to fear from science...--dwise1 "Multiculturalism" does not include the American culture. That is what it is against.
