I have to agree with Sylas
Des is really struggling to learn some of the concepts that we take for granted, but she's not going to learn much if things go on like this.
Firstly she's arguing against the ToE without knowing or understanding what the ToE actually states. Additionally she doesn't know what Darwin actually wrote in "Origin of Species". Now we can all argue until we're blue in the face about what Darwin was trying to say, or what he meant by using the words he did, but we can't argue over what he said exactly ie direct quotes.
Is it worth our while to pull together an essay which explains what the ToE actually states and also describes exactly what Darwin stated in O of S? I know that Des should have familiarised herself with this before attacking it all, but I've found that the more I've learnt in my career the more I've discovered what I don't know, yet at the beginning I thought I had a reasonable grasp! I believe that she has no idea of just how much she doesn't know and that's why she comes across as arrogant and rude.
I would suggest to Des that she drop the "Bible thumping" and stop hammering all of us over the head with her opinions and spend the time in finding out just exactly what evolutionists believe in the first place before condemning us all to Hell for believing something we don't!
Finally, to Des. If someone came into your house that you'd never met before and started behaving in the manner you've behaved on this forum, you'd be none too chuffed. Please Des, sit back, cool off and start getting to know the beliefs of atheist evolutionists, Christian evolutionists and Christian Creationists. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
