What about beavers? They build structures. Sometimes they have been known to redirect streams with said structures.

How about otters? They use tools, they also rape baby seals.

You compare all that mankind has accomplished to a bunch of sticks (a faggot) structures... really, you cannot be fucking serious.

No, it's based on very real objective evidence (unlike evolution). [B] We are the ONLY species to do ANYTHING besides eat, sleep, and shit[B]

Mgellan, I appreciated your Lenski reference. Did you read the short bio in Science about him this month? It led me to track down his second response to Andrew Schlafly. Schlafly reminds me very much of Illusionz.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Lenski_affair
Thanks for the link, I love the response "I offer this lengthy reply because I am an educator as well as a scientist. It is my sincere hope that some readers might learn something from this exchange, even if you do not." from Lenski to Shafly, basically "I seriously doubt you can possibly benefit from this but perhaps someone with half a brain will."

Basically the theme of this thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As opposed to?

Evolution is the best we have just like any scientific theory it is subject to change or revision when new information arises. Kinda the opposite of the way religion works.
Actually, religion is subject to revision as well - normally, in relation to cultural changes that makes "the book" look bad. The Old Testament is pretty much disregarded, or the interpretation of its text has greatly changed.

These days, homosexuality is no longer considered an abomination in most religious circles, because it's an increasingly unpopular position to take. It's considered an "everyday" sin now, no different than the sins that normal, hetero humans make in their everyday lives. As we all are theoretically sinners before God, homosexuals are no worse in the eyes of the church for their sins.

They can do this, because the book allows for some wiggle room in interpretation.

So change is often convenient for the church, and good business.

Also I had PC games written in assembly that mimicked evolution, fluid dynamics, ecosystems. The people who founded Maxis b4 it was Maxis. Aka Will Wright and a bunch of really nerdy physicists, biologists, and ecologists. Who helped him make a great game.

Yet I still ain't 100% hedging my bets on Darwin being correct in the "origin of the human species". While I really respect his theory of evolution.

Brews this game is STILL legit today.

Speed of light right? Try to be concise.
