Scientists say evolution fits

How? Stupidity and racism were around millennia before Darwin was born.

I'm still trying to figure out wether it's actually real at all, personally.

When it was 'created' or how is somewhat of a secondary question, if you take the big picture point of view.

If atman is brahman, this can't actually be happening, right?

Who gives a crap about what fake explanation you pick?

As someone who has read the book in question, I asked previously if you would please substantiate this claim. You're now repeating the assertion, but I still don't see an explanation.

Evolution is as much a religion as the Catholic Church.
It’s all based on faith and has been for 150 years.

No, it's based upon the available evidence, which is overwhelming.

THE ONLY THING OVERWHELMING IS THE HOLES THAT NEED TO BE PLUGGED IN THE THEORY.

It is all based on FAITH.

Evolution is just another modern day religion.

Then, point out these so called "holes", and provide an alternative scientific explanation.

My prediction - He will present the "holes" (misunderstood creationist ideas of course, including abiogenesis and transitional fossils) and provide no SCIENTIFIC alternative. Let's see, shall we?

The only difference between evolutionists and creationists is the evolutionists were listening in class.

Undoubtedly. The severely mentally retarded are very predictable.

One of my favorite things to point out to these cranially-deceased dimwits is that even if by some zillion-to-one miracle they somehow disprove evolution (of course that will never happen), they still have not proven creation. They somehow think that if evolutionary theory is successfully refuted, that is proof of creationism.

Hee hee.

Now you're blaming evolution again? I thought you already agreed that it isn't science but society.
Religion is far more to blame for many things wars, murders, burnings, closed mindedness, racism, sexism.... and I'm sure others can think of more.

What holes?

And, even if true....so?

ANY observation of the Universe is apt to be incomplete. "holes".

The theory of GRAVITY has many such "holes", yet I don't hear you complaining about IT.

Just because parts of the theory are "we do not know" does not invalidate the parts were we say, "we are quite certain of this".

And, those parts where scientists say THAT-- directly contradict creationism.

Hmmm.

Nope. Faith is belief in THAT WHICH CAN NEVER BE PROVEN.

For if there IS proof-- then no faith needed.

Evolution is based ENTIRELY on proof-- at least the parts without 'holes' is.

For the 'holes' we say, CORRECTLY, that: "we do not know".

You NEVER hear RELIGION state this very honest assessment of the situation.....

..... Dew Yew?

Nope. Religion relies ENTIRELY on faith in THAT WHICH CAN NEVER BE PROVED.

Evolution is based ENTIRELY on FACTS which ARE Proven over and over and OVER (repeat 1,000 times) again.

Science MUST be based on OBJECTIVE proof.

As such-- NO FAITH.

none.

Hmmm.

LOL!

Those fortunate folk who were not fundie-indoctrinated at ignorant home-schooling and ignorant private "schools" at least...

Uh oh, here comes that "faith equals religion" nonsense again.

the False hope of Faith never attests the fact of Mainland stewardships.

So you call empirical evidence and research over the last 150 years faith?
I wonder what you call faith.
