Frankly, if you opinion is that Intelligent Design is the way of things, I'd like to see you try. ID is as scientific as Scientology and is only barely hanging on to its religious upbringing.

My view is that you are wrong. I ask you to prove this scientific fact. So far, my questions have gone unanswered. Now you all are all running in fear out of desperation, so you keep trying to turn the tables.

There are what, 5+ of you, and one of me. Yet, all your scientific facts you can't explain where all the 55 million years of bones went and why the population of the Earth is way out of line with your claims.

Nobody is running in fear (well, except yourself). You have shown a staggering level of willful ignorance, poor reasoning, and made a plethora of embarrassingly wrong claims in the thread. If completely ignoring reality makes you comfortable, I guess we can't stop you.

What scientists? What evolutionists? Please show me where this widespread criticism comes from. With links and not numbers you pull out of your ass at random.

The burden of proof is on YOU, as the links provided by others here have showed piles of it in their favor. So on one side you have conclusive proof that evolution is fact, and the other you have someone saying its all wrong because, well... its all wrong. That's beggining the question, why is it wrong? Sorry professor, your faulty math just won't cut it. Please bring something else to the table.

Say all fo the sudden Madcow spreads throughout the world and the world's beef supply has become tainted. So now McDonalds only sells Chicken sandwiches. Essentially McDonalds has "evolved" into a chicken sandwich fast food place because of the "selective pressure" of tainted meat.

10,000 year is too little to observe large speciation events, especially at the level you're asking for. Yes evolution is a continual process but its a slow process that are interrupted by dramatic events that cause major changes (major extinctions).

And I'm STILL waiting for your scientific articles off pubmed that state all hominid fossils are NOT proof of evolution or are hoaxes

A wolf is still a wolf. Breeding it with a dog is not evolution. Ask Sigfried and Roy about domesticating tigers... that proves you wrong right there.

"The woodpecker most likely came..." most likely? Speculation. You said this is science fact. Let's see the facts, not your theories.

"Essentially McDonalds has "evolved" into a chicken sandwich fast food place because of the "selective pressure" of tainted meat."

That isn't evolution either. It's a temporary adjustment in the food supply.

"10,000 year is too little to observe large speciation events, especially at the level you're asking for."

Okay, show me celluar evolution. Show me how often a single cell evolves and mutates.

In my classes a cell has always been the same and still is today, yet they should be changing all the time and easily visiable under the microscope. Being that there's zillions of cells to study and their rapid rate of reproduction, we should be able to chart trillions of mutations, evolutions, whatever you change your story to next and show proof. Yet there isn't proof of this.

It is clear that you don't even understand basic principles of archaeology, let alone evolution. Go back and study some more before you start citing numbers so ridiculous that even someone who does believe in ID thinks you're nuts.

ROFL now you just make up numbers that don't even exist! You have to be trolling, nobody is that stupid.

Change the math. Population numbers alone will continue to disprove evolution. Make people double every 1,000 years, you'll still find Earth stacked with humans and no room for your plants or animals.

Say what you want, I still see no proof of evolution in this thread. Just a bunch of blind believers.

BWAHAHAHAHAH thanks for making me laugh, that was the funniest thing I have read all day. Now I know for certain you're joking.

It has become obvious that you are woefully underqualified to reliably identify what is, or is not evolution.

Ask Sigfried and Roy about domesticating tigers... that proves you wrong right there.
Really? How?

"The woodpecker most likely came..." most likely? Speculation. You said this is science fact. Let's see the facts, not your theories.
I have shown you facts. You've chosen not to acknowledge them.

"Essentially McDonalds has "evolved" into a chicken sandwich fast food place because of the "selective pressure" of tainted meat."

You do not know what evolution is.

Cells don't evolve. Genes do mutate, however. All the time. Your genome has plenty mutations, for that matter.

EDIT: I should clarify. Individuals do not evolve. Populations do. Populations of unicellular organisms can and do certainly evolve.

In my classes a cell has always been the same and still is today, yet they should be changing all the time and easily visiable under the microscope. Being that there's zillions of cells to study and their rapid rate of reproduction, we should be able to chart trillions of mutations, evolutions, whatever you change your story to next and show proof.

You do not understand what evolution is.

do you know anything about population density, carrying capacity, intraspecies competition... so now by YOUR new math, since 10,000 years ago when adam and when adam and eve were created, there have been 1024 humans on this earth

Dirtboy you keep claiming that no evidence has been provided. Here are links that have been provided so far in this thread that you have failed to disprove. Like I said, the burden of proof now rests on you as the case for evolution as already been presented. Proof does not equal you taking one single claim out of the vast amounts of evidence provided and disproving it with numbers you pull out of your ass. Please cite some sources.

I kind agree with Dirtboy on this thread. I always wondered why (if evolution truly occured) are'nt we seeing various stages of it on a constant basis. If I'm not mistaken we have about 3000-4000 years of historical recordings from our ancestors and there has never been any mention or evidence of lifeforms that have evolved from one species into the next. There have been many examples of environmental adaptation but no solid examples of evolution in the sense of one type of life form changing into another.

Hey Dirtyboy have you ever gotten sick in your life? Have you ever not gotten sick, while other people have gotten sick from something going around? Have you ever taken antibiotics?

There is all the proof you need.

3000-4000 is NOT a lot of time. and environmental adaptation IS evolution. allopatric speciation is when a population because increasingly adapted to two different niches and eventually this one species birfucates into two.

That is a common misconception about evolution. In the grand scheme of things 3000-4000 years isn't enough time for extremely obvious evidence to occur, such as humans growing wings or something. Check out the Wikipedia article on evolution and it'll explain it better than I can here.

How about the evolution camps sets out an example of evolution in humans in the last 5,000 years - I'm not expecting wings, I've just never encountered any such examples...
