Evolution is a Fact #15 - Robinson Crusoe

by cofty in

there are two sorts of islands.

one sort provides powerful evidence of evolution at a species level.. firstly there are continental islands.

these were once part of larger land masses but they were cut off by rising water levels or the movement of tectonic plates.

Well done. If you accept adaptive radiation you are an 'evolutionist'.

Praise Darwin!

This is like playing chess with a pigeon.

Answer the question.

How did Hawaii end up with 60 endemic species of honeycreepers? It is impossible to explain without evolution/speciation.

Just answer the question and the dilemma will be self-evident.

As I thought, you didn't understand the topic. Read it again.

Did you understand the OP Hooby?

Doesn't sound like it.

Better off PIMA than POMA or POMO.

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

the situation is many of us are pima and all putting on a front, sometimes saying something we don’t fully believe.

or at least are actually agnostic about but a hope that it’s true.. but it can be useful if someone is really going through a hard time or has something they are very worried about, to say things like well let’s hope there is not much longer of this old system.. this can be useful in an awkward situation where you just don’t know what to do or say.

it’s a little bit of hope that can help when there is nothing else.. my agnosticism just means i won’t look back over decades thinking i wasted my life.

This level of wilful ignorance is painful.

ExB - I thoroughly understand creationism in all its disguises. I could present the case for Intelligent Design as well as anybody. I could argue for young and old earth theories. I also have invested the time and effort to understand biological evolution.

I am willing to investigate anything you may wish to suggest and engage in conversation with anyone who disagrees with me.

How exactly does that sound like an ideological bubble?

You have never read a science book in your entire life and you are proud of this fact.

I offered you links to a choice of forty posts that I wrote that succinctly present a small piece of evidence. You refused to even look at them.

You are not a serious enquirer.
