That's easy for you to say. Tongue
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.'

from the data either. They scratch their heads and say HOW did you get from here to THAT???

Kinda ironic that one side tries to prove God and the other Global Warming, they irritate the heck out of each other, and yet complain when the other side pushes arguments that make no sense either when they do the same thing when it's their turn.

That's because some people don't understand science, and others don't understand bullshit.

I'm happy to debate anyone here on evolution. The evolution which purports to explain the emergence of complex life from the most simple single celled organisms, not the "change over time", bunk.

There are at least a dozen evolution thread here. Start a new one if you like.

It's not going to be a good debate to be honest.

Are you saying that you think there is a side to evolution that does not correlate to gradual change over time?

You must have confused us with the christians, they are the ones who believe the magic "POOF" of life into mud statues and the creation of bovine DNA strands by the colored pole method.

For evolution to happen things must change over time, but change over time alone is not evolution, which is the process theorised to explain the arrival of complex life from the most simple.

What else do you think evolution is that is more than change over time?

Why would you believe magic god dust to be a better answer?

Would change over time plus a little magic fairy dust make evolution more appealing to you?

Um, change over time is how simple life diversified to become more complex. Evolution, as it was initially discovered, was based on observations of organisms changing over time, which had implications about the diversity of life, but it wasn't theorized to explain the diversity of life from a common origin, that just happened to be an idea the theory led to, that happens to have been borne out via observation and evidence since then.
