I once heard that Darwin observed his child sleeping and noticed that he had a resemblance to an ape and thus formed his hypothesis. That would seem laughable were it not so stupid. I have seen TV shows that show dogs and their owners that have look alike faces. Did we come from dogs? No, its more like we are going to the dogs!
Evolution is on the ropes. It has no real basis other than a "belief system" based on time, chance and speculation.

...WOW. I'm thinking you just made that up. Have you never heard of the Beagle or finches?

its takin its last breath!
Wow... sure taking longer than its great grandparents huh...
wait. why's there higher lung capacity?
Actually, Darwin came to that idea observing animals in Galapago islands, which ressembled, their way, to their continental and European counterparts. Again, you were saying?
"Evolution is on the ropes."
Creationists were saying that a decade after the publication of 'Origin of Species'. But they never seem quite able to deliver that knock-out blow.
Or even a weighty punch. Or nasty slap. Or a sharphish prod.

And yet here you are posting it. What does that make you?
"I once heard lol" cannot really stand against well-tested scientific theory.
As a matter of fact, I once heard that Christianity was started as a joke religion based on the worship of a book of common children's tales, and between poor communication and societal stupidity, it grew into an "actual" religion.
Despite the fact that none of his children were born untill AFTER he arrived at his hypothesis.
Evolution is hardly "on the ropes".
And because you "once heard" this laughable story, it is automatically true?
lol, you're dumb.
Darwin worked on his theory for decades, traveling all over the world to research population changes. Ever heard of Darwin's finches, asshat?
Wow. That thread is a whose who of arguments people use who don't have any idea what evolution is really about, including:
...they never seem quite able to deliver that knock-out blow.

I think they managed a slight tap on the shoulder once...
I just...
Nothing really new here, but as someone who grew up in an advanced and literate society, I have a hard time understanding how you could really believe that "This ancient book of stories is more true than studies founded in fact!"
Or not even, more importantly, see the flaw in that argument. Unless, of course, he's one of those people projecting his fear of unbelief onto others "If I tell other people that this is true, God has to forgive me for hving doubts!" I used to think like that myself, though I didn't post it on the Internet where it could be far more easily mocked.
It is indeed stupid, very stupid. Which is a clear indication that this is a lie, a fable, a myth.
Evolution has more basis than any other scientific theory, and every new batch of flu vaccine is evidence for its accuracy.
> I once saw a post on Rapture Ready that made me fear that creationists are actually devolving.
Devolution isn't a thing. If becoming a simpler life form improves an organism's fitness, it's evolution.
Most of the things you hear are merely urban legends, dearie.
If evolution is on the ropes, so is gravity, as that has much, much less evidence in its favor than evolution. All hail Intelligent Falling!
I once heard that god created the earth and everything by crapping it out of his ass after eating a giant burrito. That would seem laughable were it not so stupid.
See? I can make up shit that makes you look like a fucking moron, too.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
