Looks like somebody visited electrical engineer creationist propagandist Fred 1 in 32 chance Williams’ satirical website and didn’t get the joke That or A Christian is an old timer in new clothes
Well, I had made a decision to quit cold turkey — I really do have better things to do with my time — but I just thought I’d plop down my two cents

I've never seen an ape conceive anything but an ape. Some are smart
and some are dumb. Some are pretty and some are pretty ugly; however,
they are ALWAYS a CHIMP off the old block. Hey, no 2 works of art
are ever exactly alike-----are they?
Was there something in there that was the product of intelligence, or was that just some venting?

I attended public school and college. I assure you that I know what
was being taught by the teachers at that time. Maybe I know more
about evolution then you know about the Bible? Personally, I feel
that evolution has no place in lower education. It is a total waste
of effort, since you yourself and your cohorts have explained how
deficient I am (even though I achieved A's in science).
Yes, of course you got all A’s in science courses — all creationists claim to have done so. And all creationists claim that they had evolution forced down their throats from K-college. Trouble is, that always turns out to be bullshit. Amount of evolution I had forced down my throat:
One 2-week section of science in 6th grade; one one-week session in an ELECTIVE semester-long anthropology course; the courses I took as a requirement for my graduate school minor.
That’s it — and I WANTED to learn about evolution! I think this indoctrination schtick is just some creationist collective fantasy.

The simple fact is that unless one is going to study ALL the
information (and I mean ALL) and not just what one is fed in an institution of learning by some instructor (who may see things from
one perspective and likely present only personal bias as truth), the
information those individuals have absorbed is of questionable
validity. You understand even less about Creationism then I
understand about Evolution. That is to my credit and not yours, since
evolution was the ONLY option presented in most schools and
Creationism I had to search out.
I sincerely doubt, given your posts, that you know more about evolution than anyone on this board knows about creationism. That you had to seek out creationism information should tell you something. What were your sources? What was their evidence? Their explanations? How many miracles were invoked?
quote:
assertions of Creationism explained in full at most public
schools? The answer is NO!
By assertions I mean environmental, climatic and magnetic changes
that may support acceptance of the global FLOOD.
Considering the content of your posts, again, I find it nearly impossible to believe that you took college ‘science courses at all, much less got A’s in them. An assertion only counts as supportive evidence in creationism. Do you know what an assertion is? It is when someone proclaims something to be so by virtue of their proclamation only. That is what fills creationist websites, books, pamphlets. That is why it is not science.
quote:
A study of how fossils must be formed rapidly and only occur under
very limited catastrophic events. The fact that life seems to
have exploded into diversity without fossil support their evolution.
That the "simple" cell has been found to be very complex and without
a real explanation of why or how it could have developed at all.
And that scientist have been unable to either with purpose mutate one
species into anything other than a breed or even create life.
Therefore, life really began at the whim of a deity later worshipped only by the Hebrews (who claimed top be the chosen) no more than 10,000 years ago in a 6, 24-hour day period.
Like I said, I find it nearly impossible to believe that you even took college science courses
