Theist ➤ Why ☠ Evolution is not Scientific ✔

Joker, what is it that you think evolution is ? You seem to enjoy railing against a parody of it, but what do you think evolution actually is?

Even assuming the OP isn't a troll, this thread just exposes the binary thinking endemic to the fundie mindset. Even if evolution was completely demolished tomorrow, it would still in no way mean that religion wins by default; no matter how warm and fluffy it makes you feel. The religionist would still have all their work in front of them.
The problem, as I said elsewhere, is that the creationist dogma mill has no system for trapping and correcting errors; meaning that a lie once told gets bounced around and amplified, becoming one of Richard Dawkins' Unsinkable Rubber Ducks (aka PRATT arguments). And make no mistake, Joker, these people have a vested interest in lying to you. Stop being so gullible, for your own sake.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Evolution disagrees with the OP.

I wonder what "scientist" taught joker biology? Ken Ham? LOL!

I ask to have a conversation with him but I swear he is convinced that that means parroting tired, retread arguments we've all heard and dismissed any number of times. It is anti-intellectual to the point of being numbing.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

We created dogs like the Chihuahua and the Great Pyrenees who can no longer reproduce together*, making them functionally separate species. Humans did this, no god needed.
