Really, is this a good examination of evolution?

This was an actual comment just made by a creationist:

"Seriously, if monkey's have evolved over the years, how come we don't see any monkey men walking around today? How come there's never been a transitional fossil found... EVER? Or at least since they're susposedly finding fossils millions of years old all the time, they can't seem to find one? Evolution has been proven false in too many area's to count. In reality, it's just an excuse to live however you please without having to be accountable to anyone above you."

I think I just need to share this so I know I'm not the only one who had to suffer the pain of reading it... oh sh*t, I think I'm losing hope in humanity.

    as usual the creationist nut bag is dead wrong on all counts.

    We evolved WITH monkeys not FROM monkeys.

    There have been many transitional fossils found.

    In 150+ years Evolutionary Theory has NEVER been found lacking or wrong in anyway whatsoever, if it had then science would have long since disregarded it completely, in fact after 150+ years Evolution is today probably THE strongest most well proven theory in all of Science.

    Such drivel is spewed by desperate creationist to try an bolster their delusions.

    Pay no mind.

    There ought to be a sign above the door to the R&S section -"Abandon hope, all ye who enter". I saw that post, also, and it's just typical of the ignorance exhibited by creationists. Worst case of confirmation bias EVER. They are only willing to look at sites or listen to speakers that support their primitive superstitious beliefs. Consequently, they have no idea what the actual TOE says, or how evolution actually works, so they can't help but appear foolish. It's our nation's greatest shame that in the 21st century, there are people so ignorant.

    As for losing hope in humanity, let me offer a quote from the Mahatma: "You must not lose faith in humanity; humanity is an ocean. If a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."

    CatCat----c'mon! science!

    actual FACTS?

    actual SENSE?

    actual seeking knowledge?

    actual evaluating data?

    They keep asking how come this and how come that, and use their ignorance of the answers to justify believing that there ARE no answers.

    Science goes looking for the answers, which is why science finds the answers.

    Too much hard work for some.

    Keep your hope alive, Master Sarcasto. Evolution is a lengthy process and takes time to affect all parts of a population.

    identity is held to a similar scrutiny. using fact of this the coaching of identity is rejected by using international places with properly funded coaching courses and oldsters that care relating to the psychological progression of their toddlers. identity is purely taken heavily in international places with a poorly knowledgeable populations.

    I love how people think that evolution automatically gives you the license to be a rapist/murderer/nasty person. I mean, after all, if you don't believe in a certain god, you're evil.

    I don't understand how people can constantly bash evolution when they obviously have never read a single thing about it.

  • 1 decade ago

    I would love to use evolution as an excuse to live how I please, if only I could figure out how you use a biological theory to do that.
