The theory of evolution doesn't kill people, people who believe it do.

  1. Any reasonable physicist will tell you that current laws of physics may not apply to period of creation of the universe.

    What are you talking about ? What the hell has the 1st or 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics really to do with evolution?
    Are you honestly trying to use them to disqualify macro-evolution? That's like trying to disprove evolution due to the laws of gravity.

    Macro-evolution is simply the accumulation of micro-evolution (tiny changes) over enormous lengths of time. The whole (macro and micro) is evolution itself.
    That a new species (macro) can evolve, has nothing to do with being hindered by the Laws of Thermodynamics. Your totally ill founded argument is tantamount to suggesting that because you put ingredients together to make food outside, you can’t eat it.
    The creationists' ridiculous position is that because macro-evolution cannot occur in open systems then necessarily , neither can voltaic cells.

    Parroting the worn out nonsense of creationists who are always trying to produce some junk science or other pretending it proves them right is hardly convincing ( other than to another creationist) that there is anything whatsoever to do with science justifying a "Creator". Trying to mess up science to support faith is not edifying.

    Again, to use the 2nd Law and entropy as proof against evolution, it would have to be a closed, isolated system without energy input. It is not. This is simply a dead end.

    Why do the most outspoken supporters of evolution nearly always pretend creation is the only differeing opinion on the history of life?

    What about the great unknown?

    What about all the times that "science" has ridiculed those who had a differing opinion or idea that turned out to be correct?

    Several times the majority has been wrong wrong wrong about truth and science. There is just as great a possibility that evolution is the end all theory of life, as there was that the wright brothers were flamboyant liars.

  6. because these debates usually start in response to some creationist nonsense. just like this thread.

    That is a lame excuse for picking on the smallest boy in the class.

    "he started it"

  8. People who criticize evolution loudly in public channels always have an agenda. If you don't like evolution propose something else, but use proper channels. Teaching "intelligent design" alongside evolution or saying "evolution is just a theory" wink wink is indiciative of ulterior motives.

  9. the superstition of religion gained such a large foothold because knowledgeable people were afraid or unable to speak up. those days are over. the internet has changed that.

    It's unknown, so what about it?
    "science" is not science. Science as a method produces knowledge not ridicule.
