  Debating With Evolution Deniers is Just Like This

  arguing with those who reject scientific evidence can be like arguing about football; just as angry and passionate, but the goalposts keep moving, and one team doesn't exist.. read more here....

  Just a reminder about voting

  by Simon in

  there appear to be some people who are of the mistaken opinion that endlessly clicking the like or dislike button 20x will mean 20x votes.. it doesn't !!!.

  only one vote is ever counted.

  1 user, 1 vote, each post.

  Does this mean I will no longer be able to down-vote every post in a thread in absolute anonymity? Damn-it!

  American democracy in crisis

  okay cut to the chase.

  the united states has got a problem.

  hillary clinton is so unpopular that practically any republican who ran against her would probably have beaten her.

  Anyone who supports that cheeto faced, small fingered cockwomble is an idiot.

  If he gets in he is going to nuke someone just because he has small penis hands.

  anyone else also hold this view or understand it at least, or do you feel the need to argue that both can in no way coexist?.

  Well an ex Satanist is better that a practicing Satanist. Is this your premise?

  No, that wooshing noise was the point sailing right over your head. I don't believe in satan and have no preference regarding your question.

  I know that JW's do not study any sort of science, thus they have no rights to comment on such topics. Thus the JW World View is one of purposeful ignorance, but since ignorance is bliss you are quite happy. (sic)

  You do realise that it is predominantly ex JWs here and that some of us were never JWs. Some of us have degrees and everything!

  Caedes, do not confuse adaptation with evolution. Adaptation is necessary for survival. But in most cases it would pre-programmed. Some view spontaneous mutations as the cause. As mentioned, spontaneous mutations are very seldom beneficial. They kill rather than improve. Some Pseudomonas bacteria digest oil, so I am not surprised that some bacteria might lunch on nylon.

  Adaptation is evolution, Pre-programmed? Nylon didn't exist until 1935! Anyway you said earlier that it was impossible for DNA to 'improve on itself' and yet I have given you an example of a bacteria that has evolved a new ability.

  the chain of evidence, involving the laws of information and DNA, disproves the "scientific theorum" of evolution. An advanced information system, e.g., DNA, cannot spontaneously generate and improve on itself all the time. Impossible.

  So if a bacteria evolved to be able to 'eat' an entirely man made substance like nylon that would be impossible? Well, let's hope nobody finds a bacteria that has evolved that ability!

  Complaining over post dislikes / downvotes

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  let's be clear: people have the right to like or dislike what they want - that is why the option is there.

  as long as they are not doing it in a malicious way to retaliate or game the system, there is no policing the votes.

  if you get a down-vote, live with it.
