As I have pointed out on numerous occasions, the natural selection component of TENS is a logical and philosophical hypothesis, not a scientific one. Even Richard Dawkins has reluctantly admitted in his latest book that it is entirely plausible natural selection is not the mechanism by which evolution operates, and since after 150 years there is still no significant scientific evidence that Darwinian natural selection takes place, I expect that it will not be too terribly long before Darwinism takes its rightful place with phrenology, astrology, and other pseudo-sciences. And in the meantime, it is always amusing to see not-very-bright biologists shrieking about how their intellectual superiors don't understand the tremendously complicated concepts to which they are so emotionally attached.

"As I have pointed out on numerous occasions, the natural selection component of TENS is a logical and philosophical hypothesis, not a scientific one."
Tell that to the dinosaurs fuckwit. I assume you believe they all suddenly simultaneously developed a mutation for dying out, just co-incidentally around the time of megavolcanoes and the comet strike that fundamentally changed their environment.
What a tool.
An example of fundie word usage: "It's not 'evolution science', it's 'DARWINISM'!!"
Same as anti-gays going "It's not 'gay' or 'homosexual', it's 'SODOMITE'!!"

Keep wishing, but I'm betting prayer takes its place along side those psuedosciences before evolutionary theory does. You do understand what a scientific theory is, don't you?

No. There's debate about whether natural selection is the PRIMARY mover in evolution but there's no doubt that natural selection exists and causes change. Even Ken fucking Ham accepts natural selection, calling it "God's quality control system". The dying off of species due to environmental changes and the infiltration of new ones better adapted to that new environment is so evident and logical that even your fellow fundies won't deny it.
Apparently, TENS=transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation...
"intellectual superiors"

If it is, it won't be replaced by any form of creationism, though. An argument against the current theory of evolution is not an argument for some unseen supernatural magician.
"Plausible" and "possible" are not synonyms. Examples:
It's POSSIBLE that you graduated from a legitimate college.
It's PLAUSIBLE that you were kicked out of high school when you hit 21 years old.
>Shephard Solus:this quote , I suspect that Vox Dunning-Kruger did not receive much in terms of formal education (not because he failed all his classes, obviously, but because that is for women and commoners , not for supaintellijences like him, and because all the teachers and professors were morons incapable of recognising his genius), and would consider himself an autodidact.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
