These are all typical behaviors of trolls. --Percy

Re: Dredge Is Still YEC
AZPaul3 writes: There are literally millions of data points that evidence evolution on a macro scale. Your lie that we do not have or understand this data is your religious intransigence against actual knowledge. Knowledge that calls your god a fantasy.
You think evolution proves that God is a fantasy? If so, that supports my theory that evolution is a product of atheism.
Your presence here is your continued attempt to subvert reality to foster the Big Lie that your god exists. It doesn’t. And you cannot show otherwise.
We can show evolution as defined by the ToE. We can show micro to macro in the fossil record as well as in the lab. We know how whales evolved from pakicetus over 50 million years. We have the data. We have the fossils.
And those that study these things all agree the evidence is conclusive. Whales evolved from the 4-legged land animal pakicetus and we know each step along the way and we have lots of fossils of the intermediate forms like ambulocetus, remingtoncetus and basilsaurus.
And we can chart the same for millions of organism.
Your contention that we do not know these things is a ridiculous fabrication borne of your catholic-centered stupidity and a deep need for you to lie your god back into contention as effective in this universe.
The ToE is real. Your god is not.
I can sum up your sermon with three sad words: Manifest Delusion.

You certainly did. You have claimed repeatedly in this thread that "nobody can know x". I'm saying that YOU can not know what other people can know.
Dredge writes: A theory is not knowledge...
Yes it is - and you are in no position to pontificate about it, idiot.
Dredge writes: ... it's just an idea that descibes a possibility.
It's the BEST description and explanation available. And that's the only kind of knowledge we have about anything.

Re: Dredge Is Still YEC
You think evolution proves that God is a fantasy? Maybe we are getting to the core of the issue. Dredge is apparently worried that evolution somehow refutes his religion. Sorry, you have missed by a mile (or more). Evolution tells us nothing about God. It is the behavior of the god-bots (that includes you) that persuade us that your God is a fantasy.

Re: Dredge Is Still YEC
You think evolution proves that God is a fantasy? If so, that supports my theory that evolution is a product of atheism. Oh, not just evolution calls your god fake, so do physics, cosmology, chemistry, and all the sciences. Your god is an unevidenced fantasy. And it has nothing to do with atheism. It has to do with the fact that there is nothing there. There is nothing you can show that evidences your god. And, as usual, that which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence *. Evolution alone does not prove your god false. All of reality in the universe combined rejects your god because there is nothing there. That is the evidence of your god's true nature. Your god is a delusion. *Some smart guy.

Re: Dredge thinks not knowing everything is not knowing anything
In Message 343 I made the point that using science to explain evolutionary transitions in the fossil record is pointless unless the explanation can be proven to be correct ... in other words, without that proof, using science in that context is irrelevant. But you've ignored the context and taken the words "science is irrelevant" to make the absurd claim in Message 351 that I think all science is irrelevant. Why did you do that?

Re: Dredge thinks not knowing everything is not knowing anything

And that point has been refuted six ways from Sunday.
Dredge writes: ... in other words, without that proof, using science in that context is irrelevant.
And you've also been told six ways from Sunday that science has nothing to do with proof.
Dredge writes: But you've ignored the context and taken the words "science is irrelevant" to make the absurd claim in Message 351 that I think all science is irrelevant.
It's clear that you do think all science is irrelevant because you continue to talk about "proof" and you refuse to learn anything about science.
Dredge writes: Why did you do that?
Because some poor innocent person who only got the Internet yesterday might think we don't know how to deal with assholes like you. As long as you continue to post rubbish, somebody has to clean it up.

Re: Dredge thinks not knowing everything is not knowing anything
I implied no such thing. Of course you did, there's no other reason for posting all the BS about his scientific achievements. After reading the latest crap he has written about evolution, I find I am skeptical of the integrity of his work on Odonate fossils.
You have a vivid imagination, I must say ... no wonder you're a Darwinist! Yep, I do. I don't know what the three dots mean, but the last part demonstrates your vivid imagination. I am actually an Odonatist.
