This argument baffles me
I don't understand it. It's like denying you have a nose on your face. You can argue all you like about the origins of life, but you cannot deny that evolution exists.
It can even be proven "a priori":
1) Children can receive traits from their parents. (or even their grandparents)
2) Asthma can be passed from a parent to a child through birth. If one of your parents has it, you may or may not be born with it.
3) A child may die of asthma.
4) If someone dies as a child, there was never a chance to pass on traits to another generation.
Therefore: The children who are born without asthma are more likely to survive long enough to have children of their own.
Fred, how can you continue to deny the truth of such a logical thing? Please refer us to someone who has tried to shoot down the argument I just gave.
[edit]
I have more:
What is selective breeding? Is it not artificial evolution?
Why must you always take an entire prescription of antibiotics?
Please, try to discount these arguments. I'm almost certain it can't be done.

Re: This argument baffles me
I was under the impression that rgb had his toungue in his cheek. No one really tries to reason like that. It's too over-the-top.
...Am I wrong?

Re: No, it does not.
I'm not even sure what you guys are talking about anymore! Nevermind who's on what side!
So can no one challenge the statements I introduced?
