Argument #1: Transitional Fossils
RE: Argument #1: Transitional Fossils
Me + this thread = [Image: giphy.gif]

Anyone else ready to move of to Rev's second argument so we can speed up him leaving the forums?
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

Let him stay, but I'd like to see the other arguments with a bit higher frequency...
One a day would be nice, but I guess rev would be overwhelmed with all the replies from each thread.

Why overwhelmed? It's as easy to ignore 100 replies as it is to ignore one, and that appears to be all he's doing. Well, that plus occasionally dropping in some mindless assertions and empty platitudes.

Aye considering even the other theological nut bags have left him with out aid
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

He seems to read everything... but is very selective as to what he replies... and he replies in a strange order...
Some people are weird that way...

How about we distinguish all pertinent responses to Rev with purple font. We can use normal color font as we talk amongst eachother, and Rev can just focus on the purple.

In other words - the level of intelligence evidenced in the design is too low to be worthy of consideration.

Unless your God is dumber that a bag of dead squirrels, that is.

I highly doubt the level of intelligence of a species will decide or not if they become extinct. I also don't understand how extinction supports evolution?

Nature is indifferent to the survival of species, hence a high rate of extinction. If an insufficient number of individuals within a species are able to pass on their genes, the species goes extinct. It could be just bad luck, like a species that only lives on one side of a particular mountain and is wiped out when the mountain turns out to be a volcano. Other species are also part of the 'reproductive fitness landscape' of a species, extinctions alter the course of evolution.

I second that motion.

Only if it supported my view with correct facts and reasoning.

Argument #1: Transitional Fossils
Did we ever get an argument or evidence from a reliable unbiased source that there are no transitional fossils, to respond to the clear demonstration there are many transitional fossils?

If no, can we agree this argument has been an utter failure and poorly researched at that?

Id like to see the next argument, and it seems like rev is out of steam and just tossing assertions out with nothing to back them up.
