Hello Bex,

Amusing RAZD "Bexolution"....If you can believe that all things arose out of chance, and have such faith in that....
Well it is clear that you are not talking about the same thing that evolutionary biologists talk about when they use the word "evolution" -- so you must be talking about something else. Either a strawman of your own making or one you have adopted without skepticism from questionable sources. It is one of the common failings of creationists -- they think they know what it means, but what they learned came from false sources and not from the science itself.
It's impossible to learn evolutionism from science itself. One could spend many lifetimes searching in vain, but how does one find what isn't there?

Using terms with different meanings in the same argument is called equivocation,...
Sure is! Generally evolutionists are hoping nobody's hep to their bogus practice, but in this case I thing you're going for raw shock power. It is rather brazen of you to bring it up, but then again, I can understand... better to distract attention from the total lack of evidence, right?

Ancient Coelacanth above, modern day Coelacanth below. Just remember folks, though it looks the same, or much the same. It still evolved ok?
And I am sure that Dr Latimer would be happy to tell you about the significant differences between this fish and the fossil one. The fact that you can not see them does not make them magically disappear.
Why would one expect something that isn't visible to disappear? Magic shouldn't even be required. Don't think many folks would pay to see an act like that: See folks, nothing in my hat! Now presto! See, I made the nothing disappear.

I know I'd be asking for my money back.

Your task, should you be capable, is to provide the evidence in the first place.
Yet whenever we do the creationists run away. The evidence is the world around you. You just need to look closely, with an open mind, and plenty of skepticism of all ideas (including religious ones).
Oh, so it's in the interest of maintaining dialogue that evolutionists fail to present evidence? Whoever told you evidence'd chase away creationists was either lying or repeating something they hadn't verified. The implication that they actually had such evidence should have been a tip-off.

When you are willing to approach this subject with an open mind let me know and we can explore the world of evidence.
Just what do you think all these requests for evidence in this thread indicate, hmmmm?

... Perhaps we can call it RAZDolution while we work on it, just to keep you from being confused by creationist falsehoods. The meanings behind the words are more important than the words themselves, after all, and what we are really arguing about is the meaning, yes?
It may be what you'd prefer to argue about; and why not? It saves you the embarrassment of failing time & again to produce evidence.

In the interest of moving the discussion along to something you prefer, how about if you all just admit there's no actual evidence? Then we can read some more of your equivocations. Fair enough?
