Why is the theory of evolution considered a threat by certain Christians?

Well, the ant bear is a funny looking animal, but really, partly because of that, it's a great illustration how evolution works, isn't it?

Doesnt seem like you'll get,a straight answer

He already got one. Just because you can't speak english when you ask ridiculous nonsensical questions, doesn't mean I've left it open ended. You've got to stop embarrassing yourself like this.

Do you think the ant eater actually is a WTF for Evolution though?
Yes or no would do

See?

Wait, are you trolling? You do believe in Evolution, right?
Yes lol.

Well, my question is more about what the joke is. Since you believe in evolution, and the ant bear is such a beautiful and obvious illustration of evolution, I don't get the punchline really. And someone who doesn't believe in evolution, like Star for example, will take your "joke" and run with it at face value (case in point the banana-hand proof of intelligent design)

Hence the trolling, lol. Wait, you think the ant eater is beautiful? Lol

It's a joke like I would make about Al Capone being put in jail because the government claimed he didn't pay taxes on untaxable income. It's funny but not very accurate.

evolution doesn't necessarily create beauty though... it creates functionality

god is the one who is supposed to create beauty

so if the ant eater was created by god he must've been on drugs at the time

Okay, I guess that makes sense, though I don't see the humor there so much.

A bit more on topic, why do you think that so many people in the US do not believe in evolution?

i was addressing the same question bardock was asking. (do you actually consider the anteater to be some sort of evolutionary cockup).

you wear your rage on your sleeve. sooo....perhaps you'd like to get madder and post more pictures?

Oh that's special, I always mock you for being emotional and you respond with...Exactly the same thing. How amusing 👆

Also, your question "yes or no would you" still makes zero sense, but keep trying.

HOnestly I don't know. Most religious Jews believe God put dinosaur bones in the ground so....Go figure.

apology accepted. misunderstandings happen. good form 👆

Do you view it as troubling?

That's ok, your embarrassment was noted on the previous page 😂

Yes. I'm not sure why it has to be an either/or scenario with evolution and creationism. I'm a religious Jew who believes in practical things like science. Only the most extreme aren't like that. It's weird.

that's the conversation chain which led to you crying. all anyone has to do is turn the page back to see for themselves. enough with your silly games.

Ok so you ARE still crying, continuously trying to get the last word, and are desperate to win the "I know you are but what am I" sweepstakes. Got it 👆

I think you're the only one who doesn't notice that your question makes no sense, hence my "would I what" response. This isn't a surprise.

But it seems when it comes to Christians in the US about 50% believe in this extreme view. That just seems like such a huge number. And it is very worrying, because you have to reject one of the most well observed scientific theory, really you have to reject reason, at least for this part of your beliefs, to think that Evolution is not real.

so rather than concede your glaring error, you intend to continue with ad hominen attacks and deliberate misrepresentation. very mature 👆

I know from previous discussions that some of those who deny historical evolution accept current evolution to some degree.

Why do you think it is so worrying anyways? Most people take some information for granted in their lives, social constructs exist for that very reason.

I've already accepted your concession for your incredibly poor english. You're just adding insult to injury at this point.
