Creationists do not make sense

[Eilonnwy]

If such gradual changes and transitional forms are so clear in the fossil record, I wonder why Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould felt the need to publish a paper developing the theory of punctuated equilibrium.

Maybe, just like much of the world, the process is too complicated for a lay person to fully understand? Just a thought.

Numerous creationists have either lied, misinterpreted, or ignored results to bolster their beliefs.

Are you suggesting that no evolutionary scientist has done this to bolster their beliefs/position?

Ad hominem.

See when creationists lie, we can prove it. A famous example is in "Of pandas and people" when they swapped the word creationist with intelligent design proponents and fucked up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Pandas_a...ntsists.22

Unless you can back up your implication that scientists are lying to bolster their beliefs, you rebuke is laughable. Scientists don't have an ideological belief in evolution, they have the facts. The evidence bolsters the theory far better than any lie could. And the scientific community is huge, they're constantly criticizing each other to find out the truth. In fact, when there has been a hoax, it's the scientists that worked to expose it. I.e. Piltdown man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man
