DARWIN'S MACROEVOLUTION: Why Unscientific?

I haven't seen this much Fail since Rick Perry was running ads.
"How is it that a lame man does not annoy us while a lame mind does? Because a lame man recognizes that we are walking straight, while a lame mind says that it is we who are limping." - Pascal
Quote:You're using Ann Coulter as a source about Darwin? Ann Coulter on Darwin? Fuck me. That's like if I wrote a paper on brain surgery.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Not how it works, you've completely misunderstood. Stupid question. See wikipedia. 3. No modern-day scientists are making *any* such claims that bats evolved from squirrels. Thats not macro-evolution, thats pokemon. Please do everyone a favor and type "evolution" on wikipedia instead of wasting our time with questions you can easily answer yourself but are probably avoiding the answers to. RaphielDrake Wrote:1.

It is Ann Coulter trying to make the argument that "Darwinists" are actually the ones indoctrinating their children and believing in "Darwinism" as though it were a proto-religion. Well done Ann. You have exceeded your own bar for stupid. Also you know it's going to be stupid when they talk about "Darwinism" as though evolution still clung to Darwinian theory. The only thing still remaining in modern evolution is "descent with modifications". Pretty much every other part of Darwinian theory has been discarded at this point.

Well, there's still Natural Selection, that's pretty important. The heredity stuff is much more complicated than Darwin imagined, but that's forgivable, given that he wasn't aware of the existence of genes. The main thrust still works, and that's not bad for a theory that originated 150 years ago.

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems? |
