What Is Darwinian Evolution And Is It Threatening To Religious Belief? by huxley(m): 10:59pm On Mar 24, 2009
If you wanted the best scientific opinion on the structure of the atom, who would you contact?  If you wanted the best scientific opinion on plate tectonic, who would you contact?  If you wanted the best scientific opinion on blood diseases, who would you contact? If you wanted the best scientific opinion of infectious diseases, who would you contact?  If you wanted the best scientific opinion on Darwinian evolution who would you contact?


Now, these are not idle questions, for they cut to the heart of the deception perpetrated the creationists worldwide and here at Nairaland in particular.  The important question is;

Why do people who have NOT invested time and effort to work and understand the precepts of biologocal evolution feel themselves capable of adequately critiquing it?  Would such people approach particle physics in the same way that they launch themselves arse-first to biological evolution?  Would they approach the issue of infectious diseases without first boning up on the fundamentals of the subject?


To those clueless terrier of ignorance (yes, you all know yourselves), I ask the following questions:


1)   What is The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection as espoused by the biological scientific community?  I want you to define what these biological scientists mean by TTE as originally advanced by Charles Darwin, providing significant reference material from recognised and leading scientific books, publications and experts.

2)  What is the Theory/Law of Gravitational Attraction as defined by the scientific community?   If you did not know much about the theory of gravity, where would you turn to for information about it?

3)  Where is the body of scientific evidence that refutes evolution?  Where are the creationist "researchers" who travel the world extracting fossil of animals and plants from antiquity?  Where to they public their material? Are such material peer-review by the general scientific body?

4) Is your opposition to evolution motivated by religion or is it a scientific-based opposition?

5) Why do you think acceptance of evolution is threatening to your religion?

dont bother; its huxley . . . he opens a thread when he feels insecure in his plagiarised beliefs. There are already plenty of threads discussing the very same issues . . . u can post your concerns there.
with all your claims for "intelligence" (which comes from talkorigins.com and youtube anyway), we almost thought you'd provide us with physical and scientific examples of evolution . . . rather than 20 threads a minute and 500 posts a second, just two examples would have cleared all doubt.

Are creationist best places to assess the evidence for quantum mechanics?
