Ok I put a different post here originally but as soon as I posted it I realized that there had been a bunch of new replies.

1. I F****n love slayer.

2.I'm just gonna accept defeat against everything Chas says. I swear that guy posts on every single post on this site and I just do not have enough free time to go back and forth against him.

I'm heading to work. Hopefully I'll have time to respond in the next couple of days.

Well, I'm more of a Sepultura person myself, but in the interest of civil debate, I'll let that one slide Big Grin

Sorry to nitpick but actually it's not. It's generally about convincing a wider audience as to the validity of your claims and subsequent evidence. Convincing your opponent might just be a bonus.

ToE seeks to explain a fact (evolution). I noticed in one of your earlier poste you made reference to the factor of time and the relative evolutionary dominance of humans in a small time compared to other species that have been around for millions of years more.

It may have been highlighted already but it doesn't make sense to talk about one species as 'more evolved' than another. We're all a product of the evolutionary pressures to adapt to the environments we find ourselves in, and hence species that do that and do adapt gain the greater chance to survive relative to those that don't.

But as others have suggested, it'd be really good if you want to learn more about it to do so in a professional educative environment. Evolution is complex but needless to say it's the foundation of an entire field of natural science be as such could never be summarized to a parsimonious degree necessary to elucidate properly. THe evidence out there for TOE is overwhelming and very well documented.

However, if you post more misunderstandings and misinformation on evolution, I will be there to correct you. Count on it.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

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.
