Computer cast doubt on evolution!!!

[larryjs]

hehe.....not really I just thought it would atract more posters

I say that evolution is based on FAITH on not on fact
What say you?

[Ennis]

You make your own faith, who controls faith, nobody its just coninsidence and so on. Then again Im a damn wannabe nihilist so I just darn pessimistic about the big picture.

[larryjs]

Well what about evolution Ennis? Is the theory provable by the scienctic method's aspect of observation. I challenge any one to bring me one transitional fossil of the hominind variety that I cannot refute. I believe evolution is absurd and I wish to debate the point. Any takers??

Ha, you and every other anthropologist. Seriously, take some classes, do some reading, then come back and give me a good reason why evolution didn't happen. Of course, to do that you would have to give me proof of a God, and I would like to see that.

[larryjs]

I beg to differ sir. I have issued the challenge..NOW someone prove to me that evolution did happen. Or at least post why you *snicker*BELIEVE*snicker* it happened!

Proof denies faith, therefore proving that there is a "Supreme Being" would negate the need for faith in it; therefore if one could prove the existence of such a being, the faith in that being would be negated, thus rendering all belief in it void.

And there is no spoon.

Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence.

What's this about being able to refute any hominid remains? The defense of "You prove it first." is not very helpful...

Anyone can always refuse to believe something. As said in the Princess Bride:

"It must be just some local fisherman out for a pleasure cruise alone at night through shark-infested waters."

"Inigo has not lost to the man in black, he has defeated him. And to prove it he has put on all the man in black's clothes and masks and hoods and boots and gained eighty pounds."

Why bother to present any arguement when they can always be shot down? Even Socrates was illogical on his best of days

Then again, 'logic' in a non-mathmatical sense is a lot more variable than most people like to believe.

"We have now decided the poisoned cup is most likely in front of you. But the poison is powder made from iocane and iocane comes only from Australia and Australia, as everyone knows, is peopled with criminals and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as I don't trust you, which means I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."

Well Terr I think the fossil evidence has been mis- represented.
Lets look at australiopithicus afrensis for example. The evolutionist use this fossil(Lucy) to show the earliest upright hominid...I have a few issues with that and heres why. The place where the spinal cord enters the skull is known as the foreman magnum. The angle that the spine enters this determines if an animal can walk upright or not. This entire area is missing from the lucy find. And that's not the worse thing , the leg bone they used (its curvature looks like it would in a bipedal animal) was found three miles from the rest of the fossil!! I can say without worry that Lucy was nothing but an extinct species of monkey and it walked on all fours.

[Ouroboros]

The scientific community at large has dismissed Lucy as being the first fully bipedal animal in favor of A. Africanus, see Biological Jargon. Lucy was dimorphic(occuring in 2 distinct forms)...so you are right, larryjs, but that doesn't exclude the other possible form of a Lucy-like animal... Lucy was in-between a knuckle-dragger and a humpbacked bipedal...
