No, I want actual pictures of life arising from a single common ancestor. Pictures or it didn't happen!
I love how you just toss out a bunch of scientific jargon you looked up expecting it to prove a thing. Pretty flimsy attempt to prove what you consider to be a well established theory really.

I will always present my case as best I can, but I don't see the need to be polite to people I already know are hit and runners, or people I suspect are being disingenuous. I also have little patience with ramblers or people who display signs of cognitive dissonance.
Surely those people make even you a little embarrassed? When they come in with their blanket statements about how atheists are immoral, if I were you that would embarrass me, because you know what a softball question it is to field.
You are right; I must have had you mixed up with someone else. You just made a huge point about how you don’t think you should act civilized towards believers but then seem clueless as to why believers think you are immoral. That’s actually pretty hilarious.

Yep, that was a REAL winner, wasn't it Stat.
Just because ASC went completely over your head is in no way my problem.

I will not post evidence on here supporting evolution, it is readily available to ANYONE. Go to a museum, read a high school biology book. This is remedial biology. It isn't that complicated.
I taught Evolutionary Biology you goof; I was just seeing if you knew enough to back up the theory, apparently you don’t.
Quote: And you do believe in magic. You believe that some all powerful wizard spoke some incantation and puffed everything into existence. That is fucking magic. It is horseshit. Show me anywhere in the universe where things puff into existence. It doesn't happen, because reality does not function like that.
Question begging epithet, I don’t believe in any wizards much less one that spoke the Universe into existence. Show me where in the creation model it says that we should still be observing things “poofing” into existence. Do we still observe life evolving from a single common ancestor today? Uh oh! Seems like your own beliefs don’t pass your own b.s. test.
Quote: Furthermore, you worship a god, muslims worship a god, hindus worship several gods, humans have worshipped thousands of gods throughout history. Easy evidence. What is more probable, that out of the thousands of gods, thousands of holy books, thousands of creation stories, only 1 is correct? Or that they are all equally false? It's the latter,
What kind of pseudo-logic are you using here? Let’s put your same reasoning to practical use here….
1+1 = ?
Hmmm, let’s see there is an infinite number of possible answers to this problem….they are all numbers though…so what is more probable that only one of them is correct or that they are all false? According to you it is the latter so I guess there is no solution to one plus one…you are right you really are an intelligent person. :-P

Still making your irrational appeals to novelty I see. I think the logic train left you standing at the station a long time ago.

Poe or not, he is certainly not here for discussion.
This coming from the person who runs from every attempt at discussion with her tail between her legs; sometimes life gives us irony like this to keep us going.

I'd like to think it did.
Actually I believe you are thinking of the time that ASC utterly left you dumbfounded. Your point actually made a faint pitiful cry as I crushed it with my logic hammer, don’t worry it’s quite dead now.
