I love David Attenborough’s productions but I literally use him as a sleeping pill. His voice is guaranteed to send me to lullaby land in 10′ or less–LOL.
Not one whit of rational science here. Pure sloganeering and marketing.
Rather embarrassing, and it shows both the desperation of the British neo-atheists and how dim-witted their target audience truly is.
Please supply concrete empirical evidence of cross species evolution.
You cannot. All you can supply are suppositions, conjectures and inclinations
Certainly, commonality of some portion of the genome is not such a thing, it may be necessary but it is hardly sufficient.
We live in an age where the Left has highjacked science for its own dark purposes. Someday when we have moved past thiss, all this willful mis-characterization of “evolution”, will be seen for what ti sis: Pseudo-scientific rhetoric meant to degrade the spiritual live of Man by supplanting man’s true nature with a utilitarian, materialist and deterministic one.
Not that one expects RM to understand this, he is lost in the puerile vanity of his middle brow “liberalism”.
Stick to reporting gossip about dogs. Leave science, politics and faith to the adults.
Hey creatard, you can kiss my ass!
I have very little use for you pieces of shit.
You people are making us the laughing stock of the world.
You are not welcome on this blog.
You wouldn’t know science if it bit you in the ass.
Go suck Newt, you fucking moron!
this has to be the funniest thing I’ve every read (I mean your reply, though his post is pretty funny too
My rule is that no creationsts may use this blog to spread ignorant bullshit.
BTW, I’d like to know why you think you know so much about politics and I don’t know how may graduate hours in political science you have, Sensei, but I bet it’s not one tenth of what I have.
So fuck you and the horse you rode in on!
If anyone lets his or her child call you sensei, they should be locked up for child abuse!
Sure, atheists may only constitute 1-10% of the population, depending on country of origin, but the “godless” population makes up for 90% of the scientists and engineers.
Even still, among religious people who do accept evolution as factual, they make up for 60% of successful undergraduates; the percentile increases as one the academic levels are actualized.
In fact, most of the advances in sciences within the last 200-years would had not been possible without Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species and the subsequent creation of Biology as a field. Things like gene-therapy, organ transplants, animal-testing (which leads to life-saving drugs), war on microbes would had not been possible if it wasn’t for the theory of natural selection. Everyone owes their life to Mr. Darwin.
Fortunately for you, there is a inverse relationship between intelligence and reproduction. So, go ahead, reproduce like rats infesting the planet full of bigotry, ignorance and greed. After all, the “godless” idiots are nothing more than childless intellectual drones sacrificing themselves to the human species through inventing new technology, educating the next generation, saving lives medically and many other thankless tasks. So, go play with your toys and sit around at the dinner table pontificating about how stupid we are; we are not exactly replacing ourselves.
Just something to think about before bashing your neighbour friendly atheist.
These Christian fascists should be locked up.
They aren’t dealing with a full deck.
They haven’t a clue about how ignorant they are, but they want to lecture the world about how smart they are.
I don’t believe in magic or in fairy tales.
Sinsei does!
A grown man who believes in magic and fairytales wants to lecture me about what reality is?
Well, fuck that!
I like those stories about angels, unicorns, and elves. Now, I like those stories as much as anybody else.
But science is real.
LOL
Good one!
[...] Especially when they take a condescending line against me? [...]
