Ah to be limited to the black and white world of CTD ...

Would you prefer me to state what I don't believe?
No, you were asked for evidence of fact, verifiable validation of your claim, documented, definite instances where what you claimed had actually occurred.
You want to build an argument based upon my use of the phrase "I believe"? What childish folly! Yet you still didn't catch on that such is folly even when I presented examples of what I don't believe.

But most of the population knows it's silly to pretend there's a problem with saying "I believe". It's also silly to say there's a problem with "prove it".

I don't believe evolutionism can meet even a very modest burden of proof.
And you are still talking about what you believe, not what you can actually validate based on external evidence from the real world of objective reality, and I did not ask about what you believed.

Nor have you shown that there is a "very modest burden of proof" standard that applies to any other science. Without evidence of that standard actually existing, what you are saying is that you don't believe something because it doesn't meet a completely artificial, irrelevant and false standard that does not apply to any other science. It's a strawman, a fantasy, and a false criteria.
If the standard hasn't been stated, how do you know it's "completely artificial, irrelevant and false"? You betray that you share my opinion, and evolutionism can't meet any burden of proof.

I don't believe you've provided any evidence for your contentions in this matter either, so I don't believe you're in a position to talk too much trash.
And you are STILL talking about what you believe, while there is still an absoluter total dearth of any kind of evidence that your claims have any validity in the real world - we just spin from one of your false fabricated fantasies to another, and meanwhile you ignore the facts, the evidence that shows you are wrong.
You mention "evidence" that shows I'm wrong, but fail to produce any.

Let me repeat: to date CTD has provided not one shred, one iota, one hint of a possibility that what he says is true for his claim

(1) the evolution used to consist of something more than descent with modification and that using 'change in hereditary traits in populations from generation to generation' is a watered down, weakened or diluted version of the original theory, or

(2) the claim that only with evolution do scientists "have no burden of proof"

The later should clearly be supportable by listing any of the obviously many and multitudinous theories in other sciences that over the years have been proven ... thus all that is needed is one (1) ONE example of a scientific theory in any field that has been proven.
It is you yourself who have maintained that there's no burden of proof. I was just pointing this out.

I also pointed out that Skunk Funk is quite competitive in any burdenless paradigm; but might be less-than-robust with people who have higher requirements. You haven't yet provided me with a motive to do that which is detrimental to the Theory of Skunk Funk.

As for your quest to define "evolution", I'm losing interest. I warned you to keep things entertaining, didn't I?

Sadly reality does not provide the evidence for CTD's claims time and again, time and again he is seen to live in a fantasy world.

Of course part of it has to do with the cognitive dissonance and the rejection of contradictory evidence: if you never attempt to provide evidence for your position you never run into the problem that your belief/s just is/are not true eh? That would be too dangerous.
Your logic is flawed. Rejecting contradictory evidence does not imply never attempting to provide evidence.

Speaking of evidence, I'd like to see some evidence that an acorn's DNA changes as drastically as you claim when the tree matures. I'm thinking if it did, we'd have no need for evotrees in books because instead of leaves on the brances, oak trees would sprout hippos, flowers, dinosaurs, whales, soybeans, fish, etc. If you'd like to elaborate on your evoclaim a little more, perhaps you can improve it from <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/score009.gif" alt="" /> to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/score010.gif" alt="" /> .
