The creation vs evolution controversy is essentially political IMO, I count myself as a creationist. For as far as the science of it goes, I'm sure that creation is true as a principle to get something from zero, on the other hand evolution seems still very questionable to me.
Why don't we drop it, folks? I'm as much to blame here as anyone, but enough is enough. Zephyr was absolutely correct when he said:

How many times has Syamsu been bashed over the head with the fact of competition among varying organisms?
He doesn't get it. He ignores it whenever anyone points out that there are limited resources in any ecosystem, predators that will eat the slowest and most obvious prey, and myriad other factors that produce the "differential" success of variants. I can't explain his insistence on removing this vital aspect of fitness, but it's a fact, and nothing seems to change it.
Same goes for his conflation of Darwin and Hitler.
Has he ever offered anything worthwhile to the discussion? Has he ever taken evidence against his bizarre theories into account instead of merely denying its existence?
I'm done with him.

A: None to date.
Q: What sort of evidence would make you believe that your opinions concerning natural selection are gravely mistaken?
A: None whatsoever.
Q: Am I right in thinking that you are utterly and irretrievably insane?
A: Yes, without a doubt.

Around and around and around
Mammuthus,
You think it's easy to get the laundry done without sorting the stuff? Judgmental language like 'whites' and 'darks' is just what Darwinism leads to. I don't think it's even meaningful to compare wet and dry clothes.
