Watch me disprove human evolution!
First of all, I would just like to say that for me, it’s always a pleasure disproving evolution. I mean disproving literally trillions and trillions of hours of research by individuals who have an uncanny ability to misrepresent the evidence is – well – just a special feeling.
But what’s even more gratifying is when I can do it in such a way that is so incredibly indesputable, that even a kindergartner can understand it, and the most brilliant Phd can’t refute it.

literally trillions and trillions of hours of research Uncanny ability to misrepresent the evidence
Mirror mirror on the wall...
Ph.D. is not spelled Phd.
trillions of hours of research by individuals
By my estimate you would need nearly 800,000 people doing research 24 hours a day, every day of the year since Darwin's paper to have literally 1 trillion hours of research. Trillions and trillions to me suggests at least four, assuming trillions=more than one=at least two. So we need a lot of people doing a lot of continuous research at an unreasonable rate and this guy can prove them all wrong just like that?
And it has happened, when?, do you really bother to know what evolution really is, why trillion of people can´t be confused because there is evidence and to meet many PhD´s who actually can refute your theory?, or you say that kindergarden kids can understand because that´s the highest level you´ve gotten?
OK, a point of order....he indicates that he is "literally" disproving "trillions and trillions" of "hours of research."and trillions," plural. That means at least 4 trillion hours of research. (2 instances of at least 2 trillion hours.)
Let's take a look at that claim.
With (I think we can safely ignore leap years for the purposes of this point) 8760 hours in a solar year, this means that he is claiming to have disproved roughly 10,958,904,109 full solar years of work. Let's assume that research on Evolution began immediately upon the publication of Darwin's "Origin of Species," which seems to be when the Fundies indicate Evil Evolution first lumbered into the mainstream/ Let's also assume researchers working in 12 hour shifts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (After all, why would Godless Evolutionary Scientists take Sunday off?)
In order for supersports claim to be valid, aproximately 148,093,299 researchers would have to have been working constantly on nothing but evolutionary theory for the past 148 years. Or to put it another way, roughly half the current population of the United States of America would have had to be dedicated to this task. (That's half the current US population, mind you. In 1850 the US population was only about 23 million, so we would have had to borrow the entire population of Africa to achieve the required 150 million. And don't forget that all of these people, including the infants, would have needed university degrees to do the work.)
As my grandfather used to say, "Nae bluddy likely, arsehole."
Supersport, with your complete and total disregard for any type of real science, you would just be a stupid, psychotic little fundie moron like all the others. But your supreme, unrelenting arrogance rises you to levels far beyond that. You're like the Satan of fundies. You're like Carico's little brother, but you're soon going to be the master. I hate you, you filthy little moron.
Damn - here was me coming in to comment on trillions. Yep, even at 2,000 hours per scientist per annum we might reach trillions by the time Futurama's set in the past.
Nearly every modern disease can be prevented/cured simply by eliminating your sugar intake and consuming a strict diet of organic fruits and vegetables.
Watch me disprove human evolution!Okay, I'm watching.

Sure, but enough with the smoke blowing. Get on with it already.

Now listen; you're two paragraphs into this thing and so far your "arguments" aren't persuasive.
But what’s even more gratifying is when I can do it in such a way that is so incredibly indesputable, that even a kindergartner can understand it, and the most brilliant Phd can’t refute it.
GREAT! Let's have it, supersport...
Ummmmm.... supersport?
Sound Effect: crickets chirping.
OK, a point of order....he indicates that he is "literally" disproving "trillions and trillions" of "hours of research."
I'm sorry, I didn't get any sleep atall last night and I was way too lazy to do the math.
Sandman, I think your calculator is broken. 4,000,000,000,000 / 8760 = 456,621,004 solar years. You appear to have calculated with 100 trillion hours, rather than 4 trillion. That leaves us with only about 6.2 million researchers required.
Dr. Wu Xue Jie from the IVPP said experts in the research team tested, analyzed and compared 718 skulls belonging to Chinese adult males who lived during the New Stone Age, the Bronze Age and modern times. They discovered that Chinese people's craniums and viscerocraniums are getting smaller; their noses and eye sockets are becoming narrower; and their skulls are becoming more rounded.
Excuses me, but isn't that right there human evolution?
Thanks to Tempus for dropping the other shoe for us.cause of all disease, rather than a common effect of disease afflicting normal tissues?
That alone , especially with the incredibly arrogant introduction as the main post here, is worth at least a rating of 5 on the fundometer. With all the rest of this garbage that follows, I could happily rate it a 55!

<< WOW. He totally needs to send his brilliant findings to a peer-reviewed medical journal.... >>PhantasyElementz: Exactly. But the only way supersport would get into the pages of JAMA would be not as the author of a medical paper, but as the subject of one -- I'm thinking either as an abnormal psychology topic or for the anomaly of being able to type without a functional cerebrum.

First, that was a serious load of bullshit. Second, none of that bullshit has a thing to do with human evolution. He didn't even try to connect the two. The whole rambling post is essentially, "People who don't eat sugar will live forever and therefore evolution is false."

The reason people's skulls grew smaller during the Holocene epoch are not known and this will be the subject of further study. However, Dr. Lu believes the changes are most likely related to climate, flow of population, production systems and lifestyle. By People's Daily Online (all they have to do is read this post to learn why skulls are getting smaller.)

I am no expert, but that sounds like an indication of domestication.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
