And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Rev, seriously, warning: do not tell us how unlikely you think it is that dogs ever bred into weevils, or anything like that.

I know you want to. You shouldn't; it's not evolution. Try to... try to actually stick with factual things.

I don't expect it at all, but if I lay the landmines now then it reduces my workload when Rev steps on them. Tongue

Let me give you a little friendly advice.

If you're planning on using material from Answers in Genesis, The Institute for Creation Research and the like, as many evolution detractors do, there's a few things you should be aware of.

1. We've seen all of it, and to put it lightly: they are unconvincing.

2. If you use said material without a decent understanding of what the mainstream scientific consensus actually is regarding evolution, you're going to end up looking foolish in the eyes of those you'd seek to convince.

3. Educate yourself on the recent evidence gathered through DNA sequencing, particularly the implications of endogenous retrovirus insertions in DNA. This is some of the most compelling evidence for common ancestry, and I guarantee it will come up.

I wonder when calling one's self a Christian became synonymous with treating the theory of evolution as hearsay. It just boggles my mind that if someone touts themselves as religious (Abrahamic faiths at least), they almost invariably try to refute evolution.

Why.

Because people will do unspeakable things to logic and rationality when something threatens the things they 'know' to be true.

Some people can function just fine in a state of permanent cognitive dissonance.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Understand. But, why is it essential for Christians to perpetuate this myth that evolution is a falsehood? In other words, why do they feel that refuting it is necessary to supporting their faith? Many denominations support evolution, it is more the 'fundie' side that doesn't because they uphold Genesis as literal truth. Many denominations treat Genesis as metaphorical in nature.

Dunno

Head scratcher.

Because it fucks up genesis. Adam and Eve are bullshit etc. Men are not different from animals. Were not made in gods image etc.
