We are sure stuck with the religious loons in the US. Creationists are so loony they think not only that people and dinosaurs lived at the same time, but that people rode dinosaurs. I have to resist rolling and laughing when I see them fossil digging in the river. They even put up little signs advertizing themselves.

Yes, Dennis, fossil records are inadequate as a source of evidence for evolution.
The best evidence for evolution is what is happening in the fight against superbugs and the methods bacteria and virus have adapted to defeat our defenses and attacks.
This is evolution in real time. It may be considered as creationists as microevolution.
Though the truth is that macroevolution is the result of accumulated microevolution.
Fossil records are used as evidence of macroevolution, though in the human life span, macroevolution is essentially unimportant.
Microevolution is real and affects every one of us.
From what we eat to saving human life. The shortening of chromosomes (ageing) may possibly be defeated one day. It's unlikely we will see this in our lifetimes, though the possibility is there.

As far as evolution and the proof of evolution, it may be possible that most are looking at it in a wrong way. People want to look for a "missing link" and a body count of "tried but failed" species. Maybe there are none. We are primates but it need not mean that we came from the apes with "failed prototypes" left for the fossil record. Are your ideas the same as 5 or 10 years ago? Do you look like you did 5 or 10 years ago? Would you enjoy having the ideas that you had 20 or more years ago? Probably not on all three. It means you have evolved. Everything that exists has a complex code. We are just now figuring some of this out. The code MUST change for survival to continue as all things work together. This change may not leave a definable fossil record.

True Dennis.

As far as I'm concerned, Christianity can foist any concept of god involvement in the evolutionary process they want.  So long as they accept the reality of evolution. 

I even won't criticise those that have genuine scientific evidence that demonstrates an opposition to evolution.  All is fair in science, valid opposition to concepts is indeed healthy.

Yet, when opposition is on the grounds of opposing science because it doesn't agree with superstition or fails to show support for pre-conceived non-validated concepts, I cannot do anything else but strongly disagree and attack without reservation for their feelings nor sense of dignity.

Yes, I will hurl abuse at them within the limits of the language allowed by the moderator.

If the site I'm attacking them on is liberal: I will not hold back on using abusive slang.

I like going for the jugular vein and belittle them as much as possible.

I know Loren, I've been watching events. one of them comes up for a decision next month.
If they do pass them, these states will have to prepare for a backlash from the National Science Foundation along with the rest of the world. Those states may become an embarrassment to the US and force the government's hand in establishing a National Curriculum earlier than planned. Yes, out of crap can come good things. I'm not dismayed by such events, it's only a temporary setback. If it motivates the government to take action, all is good.

Recently I'm hearing that the existence of DNA "proves" the existence of God. Yes, this complex code proves it. Why am I reminded here of an ancient tribesman stumbling onto a Boeing 747? While many simply cannot believe in a personal god because bad things happen to good people, my journey involved the study of "the guidebook." If that book does not guide you to god, then that book has to be rejected as false! If the "holy writings" do not hold water the entire concept is false. It's the same in every religion.

Well, I don't know what is going on in Australia as regards the teaching or enabling of teaching creationism, but I DO know what's happening here in the States.  Tennessee and Louisiana both have laws on the books which allow faculty to "teach the controversy," even though they got hammered in Pennsylvania with Fitzmiller v Dover.  There are too many places in the US that are still willing to consider this crap, mostly to placate their theistic population and deal with those I mentioned earlier, and they have sufficient political power to push their particular brand of stupidity, probably without recognizing the fallout from it.

You can laugh at it all you want.  Personally, I don't find it funny in the least.

As far as hoaxes go: I particularly like "The Jammal Ark Hoax" where Jammal fooled the Institute for Creation Research into believing he had found a piece of Noah's Ark.
He showed convincing pictorial evidence of his find and handed them the piece.

ICR organized a world-wide documentary based on the find. Without bothering to do a single bit of analysis on the piece of driftwood Jammal had roasted in Teriyaki sauce. LOL

Unluckily for us, but luckily for the Creationists Sceptics revealed that it was a hoax before the stupid Creationist documentary was to go to air.

It would have been fun to see them made into international red faced fools!
Which they are anyway, maybe they should have done some Research!

On Noah's Ark: http://skepdic.com/noahsark.html
There is even a bit about the idiotic creationist's idol, Ron Wyatt in there as well.

Enjoy M8z! |':-D8

BTW: I'm currently hammering Creationists in the US on debate.org as Sagey.
I'm treating them like little children, my blog post is actually identical to the one I posted on debate.org. I've just told a creationist that I'm sick of being his nanny, I've supplied him with references, he has a mouse and eyes, so he should go and read them for himself.
LOL, I think he's not happy with my attitude towards him. Even asked if I should put a bib on him to stop him driveling. ROFL!
