Evolution Questions

[Gawdzilla Sama]

They never realize how outgunned they are. We've studied this stuff. They've watched a Kent Hovind youtube. No equivalence there.

Spot on. Sort of like hating a particular band because your friend does, but you've never bothered to listen to the music yourself.

Your choice...

No, I don't think so.  I know a lot of fictional characters who are considerably more believable than that idiot deity from the Bible.  Don't believe me?  On the count of three, try really, really hard to disbelieve in your god.  Listen to what you're saying to yourself in the back of your mind while you try to do that.

Ready?  One... two... three... Disbelieve!

Then repeat the experiment and try to believe in each of the following, as real beings rather than fictional characters:

• Superman
  
• Darth Vader
  
• The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
  

Again, try as hard as you can to believe, and listen to what you're simultaneously thinking in another part of your mind.

One... two... three... "OMG!  Superman is real!"

...but just remember this:  Just because you cannot prove something exists does not mean it doesn't  exist.

That's an incredibly stupid way to live, Val.  To be sincere and consistent in that POV, you would have to try to believe in every unproven idea, without exception. There aren't enough hours in the day to do that.

YES!

*glower*  Hey!  Don't dis Yes.  They're a wonderful band.

You sorta missed this part:
In your opinion, not somebody else's writings, what happened at that instant?

You sorta missed my point. These questions can be answered far better at a scientific website. Why are you asking me? Do you really want the answer, or are you trying to challenge people? Without being dodgy, tell us what your actual purpose here is.

Why do you guys do this to yourselves?

OP, just admit that you are not here to actually learn about evolution. You have exactly zero knowledge of what evolution or the BBT actually is, you are imposing these non-sensical ad-hoc rules about how someone is allowed to explain it to you, and you seem to think that an adequate description of a subject with volumes of data in support of it should be able to fit in one or two lines without attribution or sources.

We get it. You're a proudly undereducated conspiracy theorist. 9/11 was an inside job and Michelle Obama is a man in drag. Run along now.

You missed the whole idea. At the beginning I basically asked all here if you believe in evolution.
Nowhere did I state I came here to learn stuff like you mention. The part "We get it." ...etc.Does that mean you speak for everyone here?
The "Run along now." part ....... right ! - I'll get right on it

I didn't say you did. I wanted you to admit that you have no interest in actually learning about or discussing evolution. You had a script where we were supposed to say something that Kent Hovind taught you to respond to. When we didn't play that game, or when we answered your questions with facts or evidence, you brushed it aside and continued on with the script. That's not conversation or discussion. That's you being intellectually dishonest.

The part "We get it." ...etc.Does that mean you speak for everyone here?
The "Run along now." part ....... right ! - I'll get right on it

I speak for myself and myself alone.

When are you going to have an actual discussion with us? I like discussions.
