I just debated an evolutionist on EVC forum who made the false statement that apes & humans can interbreed. This is the kind of lie on which the theory of evolution is based. He admitted it, and I proved the theory of evolution is a lie so we ended the debate.

This is how she "proved the theory of evolution is a lie."
After failing spectactularly to understand that Humans ARE by definition Apes, Nuggin posted the following definition of "ape" from Wiki (which Carico was using for definitions elsewhere): -------- "Apes are the members of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates, including humans. Currently, there are two families of hominoids: * the family Hylobatidae consists of 4 genera and 12 species of gibbons, including the Lar Gibbon and the Siamang, collectively known as the "lesser apes" * the family Hominidae consisting of gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and humans, collectively known as the "great apes"." ------- To which she responded: "The debate between you and me is over because you can't see the difference between humans and apes and cannot see that we cannot breed with apes. Therefore, I will not debate with someone who makes false statements." That was the end of the thread. So I'm not sure where she thought "He admitted it, and I proved the theory of evolution is a lie so we ended the debate." In fact, it resulted in her posting priveleges being revoked because she couldn't understand such simple principles in debate (as in, definitions).

It's official:

Carico doesn't understand words.

This is how that "debate" went:

(Note that these are all paraphrases)

OTHER GUY: I think we can both agree that we should start with the very basics. Evolution heavily implies a very old Earth, right?

CARICO: NO! The Earth isn't millions of years old! God says so!

OTHER GUY: Carico, I'm not asking you to agree that the Earth is millions of years old, just that a very old Earth is involved, however indirectly, with the theory of evolution.

CARICO: NO! The Earth isn't millions of years old! God says so!

OTHER GUY: But that ...

CARICO: MOVING ON! The theory of evolution says that zebras can suddenly turn into apples.

OTHER GUY: Not even close. A.) Those are two existing species, and evolution is the modification of a species into an entirely new species, that is, the end result couldn't breed with its ancestors.

CARICO: But wouldn't apes have to breed with humans to produce humans? [The total disregard for logic, and the implication that evolution states that a species can only be produced by members of its own (currently existing) species breeding, possibly with members of other species, hurt me to write.]

OTHER GUY: Well, humans are apes.

And the rest is history.
