Theist ➤ Why ☠ Evolution is not Scientific ✔

[The Joker]

The last bit of joker's you've quoted is a quote mine beloved of creatards because they believe a) it disproves evolution and b) it disproves geological dating. But when you look at the whole of the relevant passage from the original article it says the opposite of what creatards like joker want it to say, as has been shown at http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/quotes/m...rt1-2.html (quote#33)

Good find! This shows just how The Joker is literally lying for Jesus. He can't make a valid argument so he has to deceive people in order to try and convince them. The rest of the sentence changes the context deliberately

As is now well known, most fossil species appear instantaneously in the record, persist for some millions of years virtually unchanged, only to disappear abruptly - the 'punctuated equilibrium' pattern of Eldredge and Gould."

And the sentence afterwards destroys what the quote miner's argument:

Irrespective of one's view of the biological causes of such a pattern (and there continues to be much debate about this), it leads in practice to description of long-term evolution, or macroevolution, in terms of the differential survival, extinction and proliferation of species.


Joker, you should be utterly ashamed of yourself. You are a disgrace.

This does not convince me, prove me your evolution did it.

But where is the evidence that morality can evolve? Why is morality there?
