... evolution = everything came from some single-celled lifeform that lived x billion years ago ... Note that there are NO university definitions that state this is the definition of evolution, nor any museums of Natural History, nor does Darwin state this. It is in fact a falsehood, and a misrepresentation of how evolution is used in biological science. It confuses facts of objective reality with theory: the natural history of life in the fossil record shows that early life was simple single cells. That is a fact. It also shows many intermediate forms of life between those single cells and the life we know today. That too is a fact. Evolution explains how that can happen, but it does not require that it have happened. Life could have (and may have - we don't know for sure) have started with several lifeforms, and evolution would still explain how it gets from time {A} to time {B} with the diversity of life evident in those times. You could start with the universe being created 100 years ago and evolution would still be the change in hereditary traits in populations from generation to generation, and it would still explain the diversity of life from 100 years ago until today. CTD's strawman misrepresentation doesn't do that. It's a falsehood, a hoax. Tell me something. If I attack straw men, why do you defend them? Sadly, CTD has amply demonstrated in these two small quotes above, that, yes indeed, he does misunderstand evolution (... or they demonstrate that he intentionally misrepresents evolution if he does understand it: that he lies about it, but I prefer the less wicked alternative). When you defend that which I attack, you demonstrate that you care about it. I really don't care how much you protest otherwise. Can you agree that random forces did not (over whatever period of time) turn non-living minerals into men? Can you agree that all life does not share a common ancestor? Can you agree that offspring have always been observed to differ from their parents, so defining 'evolution' as normal, everyday change is utterly meaningless and deceptive? Thanks Bex. Very apt CTD. This is one such example of what the bible foretells would happen and how people would deny the source of this beauty. Yes, it IS time for CTD to fess up that he is wrong. Math does not lie, only people that misuse math can lie. Enjoy. Like when you argued that there can't be two of anything?
Dark Matter + Dark Energy = Dark Truth"We find that such evidence demonstrates that the ID argument is dependent upon setting a scientifically unreasonable burden of proof for the theory of evolution." - Judge Jones Kitzmiller case http://www.talkreason.org/articles/Falsify.cfm"To Compel A Man To Furnish Funds For The Propagation Of Ideas He Disbelieves And Abhors Is Sinful And Tyrannical." - Thomas Jefferson "And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?" - Thomas Jefferson
