Science can't explain everything. But it can explain evolution. Are you aware of all the DNA evidence? Are you aware of our extensive fossil record?

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

I'd say everyone has different buttons and approaches. Some respond to facts, others to threats. Some people need driving, others guiding. Lots need to be made to think they reached the conclusion themselves and sometimes one can use reverse psychology.

I've never seem mockery work because then to accept your truth they have to accept your assessment that they're a fucking moron right along with it.

Not saying it's never appropriate mind, just that it help change minds. People like Jideoni-Charles can't and won't and as such a bit of mockery is clean fun with no downside.


I just want to know where you get off telling people how to respond to douche bags?

I made a very good point in this post and I do NOT apologize for dropping the hammer on a total piece of shit hypocrite sack of garbage. I don't have to be nice to arrogant assholes. I don't have to be tolerant and I sure as hell don't have to be scolded by someone who believes a lot of the same stupid horse shit. You want to pat imbeciles on the head and placate douche bags for rude behavior, that's your business, but I'm not going to keep turning the other cheek over and over again simply because some theist tells me I should.

Just sharing my opinion on what's more likely to work is all. Angel As you say if I want to pat imbeciles on the head that's my business. Wink

Actually the evidence says it took about half that many generations (300,000 to 600,000) for you to evolve from your common ancestor with the chimp at the local zoo.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE LINK

Looks like your assessment is WAY OFF.

That means every single species around today must have been on the ark.
