I don't want to go back through this thread given the deterioration of it, but let me interject that bones and fossils are not the only evidence for evolution. The revolution in genetic research has conclusively PROVED that the theory of evolution is correct. Just as measurements of the movement of objects in the Solar System, Galaxy and Universe have PROVED the theory of gravity is correct, so has research proved the theory of evolution. |

Hybrid you said: quote: The point is they found fossils of things that go against evolution. Those huge hominids you have identified were according to my professor, somewhere between 8 to 12 ft tall.
Please tell me what college you go to. My son will be ready for college in about 3 years and I sure as hell want to bypass that arena of higher learning.
You talk about science but you haven't the slightest idea what science is. Science is not some guy saying his uncle found a giant bone so giant humans must have existed.
It is not scientific to say giants existed because there are lots of legends about them. The bible and legends are not scientific evidence.
There are no giants and there is no evidence that there have ever been giant humans. Just for you to consider evolution is one of the most thoughrouly tested and verified theories that exists.
I have never seen a person that wraps himself in ignorance and self-delusion to the astounding level that you do.

You don't know what the hell you are even talking about. Indiana University is one of the BEST colleges in America you prick.Man please, do you really think that the numerous people who put their careers on the line would have done so if there were no evidence. To me there is 0 evidence to the theory of how humans naturally evovled from lesser evovled species, if not altogther. Anything else. You see, it works both ways. You just have the bones. In reality, they could be anything. Genetic research does not prove this either. In your subjective mind, the evidence is justified, in mine, it is not. WE create our own reality. My college did not make we think the way I do, I make me think the way I do. College was merely a source of info and inspiration. |

The genetic research has not proved this. Please stop it. Evolution has not been proven. And yes gravity is real, because no matter what we believe, it forces us physically. Evolution, on the other hand is merely an opinion. |

You think scientists are in denial, when in fact they've successfully defended their conclusions against all attacks. The theory of evolution is the most well-evidenced and supported theory in the history of life sciences.
But go back to your fictional books and conspiracy theories. Pretend that you know the truth and that the rest of the world is in denial. Wallow in your ignorance and spite. You are no more than a pathetic creature, a stain on human history, whose delusions and rantings will fade in abject obscurity. You are a loser through and through.

You are just a shit talker, and you are not that good at it.Nothing you just said was true. I am off you. Your avatar says it all. Beating the hell out of someone. What kind of shit is that?Never said I was smarter than anyone. And furthermore you just put words in my mouth, that I never said.Nobody dealt with any of these anamolies, just ignored them.You just keep going off buddy. Is this hysterical behavior or what!And then you guys try to break down college info, now that is just funny!No, my grades show that we are in good standing, making up more shit.You just keep getting more and more funny. |

"The difference is you are saying what you back is a fact. I never said anything was a fact. And in reality, this is just not true. It's all a matter of opinion, and the "fact" you worship are just ideas with good commentary.Anything else?"
Right, it's all in your mind. If something supports your mind, you use it. If something contradicts your mind, you ignore it. If there is neither support nor contradiction, you make it up. Because it's all in your mind, and that's all that matters, right?
quote: "Now if I fucked professionals up with just some simple questions about evolution, that they should have been able to answer, but could not time and time again, is because its not a fact, and most of it is speculation."
Can you give us these questions?
quote: "YOu could not come up with answers to the simplest problems or wholes with the theory, but instead just kept saying, here look at the fossil record."
And what are those holes again?
quote: "And there were people who fabricated skulls to prove evolution before too, but the theory still exists, right? Well one false, does not kill other truths that exist."
No, but science does not use information after it has been falsified. The theory still exists because there are more "skulls", real ones. You haven't got a "skull" to start with.
quote: beskeptigal wrote: "The revolution in genetic research has conclusively PROVED that the theory of evolution is correct. Just as measurements of the movement of objects in the Solar System, Galaxy and Universe have PROVED the theory of gravity is correct, so has research proved the theory of evolution."
Genetic research has not proved it conclusively. It failed to falsify it, and thus strengthened the case for evolution (considerably).
quote: "To me there is 0 evidence to the theory of how humans naturally evovled from lesser evovled species, if not altogther."
That's because you ignore anything that contradicts your mind. Also, I would not consider our ancestors to be any less evolved than we are. They were adapted to their way of life, just as we are (or used to be before the discovery/invention of all this modern stuff). |

Um, the great apes are not 'lesser evolved species', they are simply a species that evolved along a different line than that which produced homo sapien. Evolution does not work toward any particular end. Evolution simply states the species best suited or most adaptable to its environment is most likely to survive. (OK, I realize that is a nutshell explanation and supremely inadequate, however, I figured it would address the particular misunderstanding of evolution I noticed here.) In fact, as a friend put's it, humans made very bad apes. |

Trish, that won't matter.
If I understand correctly, HYBRID states that all evidence is subjective unless you physically perform the experiment or see it yourself personally. If you just read about it or listen to someone (college professor perhaps), then it may be (and possibly is) falsified and is therefore unreliable. And since we do not possess the ability to go back in time, evolution is unprovable by that standard.
And, in order to justify his own philosophy, HYBRID states that he did not come to his perspective by believing what he has been told or what he has read. Which, logically speaking, means that he has physically seen the things that he states is true. This would include the "mystery schools", Illumanati, etc. I must assume that HYBRID has firsthand witnessed those things and lived to tell about it.
Further, it is useless to ask HYBRID for any sources to backup his thoughts, since such sources can be falsified and are subjective.
Hence, there are no set of rules that can be used to evaluate information gleaned from books, others' experience, or even scientific methodology unless one were to perform such experiments themselves. But any information derived could not be shared with anyone; they would have to perform the same experiments themselves.
I have to conclude, then, that HYBRID has not personally seen any of the things that he states as being true. Therefore, what he says is easily dismissed. |
