Evolution vs Creation

Yeah, I think I saw something about that. Well, biologically there are only 2 physical, anatomical genders. But it does seem to exist on more a spectrum in practice because obviously sexuality exists on a spectrum.

It's pretty obvious to see that if you throw out your Bible and Koran.

You are using sex and gender here interchangeably.

Human beings are a sexually dimorphic species, and as such, there are only two biological sexes.

However, gender is a socially-constructed set of expectations assigned to people on the basis of their sex at birth.

That is a completely different issue altogether.

Most often, people experience a gender that corresponds to their sex, but not always.

Indeed, feelings>>reality. It's science.

I got a dick, but like Shania Twain...man, I feel like a woman. So I am one, is the logic.

^Proof.

Men can like Shania Twain, but if you identify as a woman, then more power to you. Congratulations on coming out, I guess. Maybe I will see you at Pride next year.

What if I identify as a black lesbian? Do you accept it? More importantly, can I get in on that sweet affirmative action?

What if? Try it and find out.

Dawkins makes an interesting observation about paleontologists quibbling about what to call each human fossil because it's hard to distinguish whether one should be classified in this particular group or the next group, and they are constantly changing which category certain fossils are in, but that's exactly what is expected with evolution because it's a long, gradual process and the lines will blur! That's precisely the point! And apparently museums are kind of strict about naming. But I think his point is that the naming system is not very good.

I think this image is about brain capacity (I wish it was better quality), but it also shows the ages...

And I didn't realize that Darwin actually predicted that humans started in Africa. He didn't have any fossils to go from with any of his predictions and it's all been confirmed.

That's pretty amazing.

Dawkins also points out that to deal with this evidence that is in many museums to be seen with one's very own eyes, Creationists just ignore it and/or deny it. And look who has never posted in this thread: our good friend, JesusLovesYou.

Or, I've noticed another more insidious technique used by Creationists: feign knowledge or expertise and lie and mislead about the conclusions of certain data.

LOL...I remember seeing some video where a creationist argued that Dinosaurs just turned into little lizards to get on the Ark or some nonsense. It was over millions of years, it was like instantly or something because God can do that. It's funny, God changing the biological structure of something instantly is more believable than millions of years of selective adaptation.

This is a great little "debate" if you want to pull your hair out...

Kent Hovind is an arrogant, dishonest moron. The first opening presentations are very telling, but this descends into madness when they debate, haha... it's pretty epic facepalmage.

The US makes me sad... 🙁

Public Acceptance for the Theory of Evolution

Started watching this 7-part PBS documentary on evolution. It's quite good. Narrated by Liam Neeson...

LOL. People still arguing about this? Sorry, but evolution is the biggest crock of shit hoax in human history. The Bible though is 100% accurate. Yes, God created the universe and He did it only 6,00 years ago. 🙂

😂

The Religion of Evolution. Not that much fun. Only a bunch of science nerds show up to those parties.

Yeah, I know, why accept the truth when we can believe that everything written in a 2000 year old book is true?

Yeah, better to put all your FAITH into stuff that gets changed all the time and was started by a guy who gave up on it towards the end of his life.

So, you are saying never questioning creationism is better than constantly questioning evolution? Anyway, it's not like the theory of evolution gets changed all the time, but that every discovery gives us new insight.
Also, while I never saw prove that Darwin gave up on Evolution, I couldn't care less.It's not about what the person that discovered something thinks, it's about what he discovered.

More like You SHOULD ALWAYS question everything and never go full on blind faith in anything. That includes both Science & Religion.

You'll have to excuse Fly. He's very special.

It's pretty much understood around here that he isn't to be taken seriously.

(btw: I've never even heard anything about Darwin "giving up on evolution." Sounds like more Creationist propaganda that even if true it means nothing significant, just a means of distracting from the truth of his profound discoveries and insights)

> says it gets changed all the time
> the Bible's been re-editted dozens of times

At least Evolution isn't filled with contradictory messages. Love everyone... but hate the gays, just in case
