REALLY now...
Well then, why don't you go ahead and prove it?
Because evolution's pretty fucking easy to prove if you have a couple of days and a microscope...
We have tried explaining it.
We have tried to be civil.
We have tried to let the 'truth win out'.
All that's left to say is...
BULL-FUCKING-SHIT!!!
"I've stands what I cans and I can't stands no more!" - Popeye
You proceed from the assumption that your assertion IS a fact. It is NOT. Anyone dumb enough to make that assertion has proven himself entirely ignorant of science.
Have a nice glass of lumpy milk. I can supply you some lumps, if necessary.
Fantasy is fun.
My turn now. lol
hint* expired milk is bad for you. [/sup
Wait. WAIT. I understand! ID just needs God to appear to man and say, "Yeah, yup, that's right, I did it just like in Genesis. Sure, kid, I'll sign your Bible..."
Evolution, OTOH, needs lots of fossils, a ton of really smart biologist types to look at said fossils, other really smart biologist types to look at the first sets' findings and make sure they're ok, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseam.
The only problem, little Billy doesn't have a KJV with "Follow this closely but don't read it, or you'll burn in Hell! Haha, just kidding. - God/Yahweh/Jehovah/Allah" in utterly perfect flowing script calligraphed on it, but we've got a metric fuckton of fossils.
At least use "lawl" or "fysawalol". It brings intelligence into the conversation.
Speaking of idiocy, I find you...eh, idiotic.
I think his sole arguemnt would be "Godidit."
Things generally are easier to prove if you lower your standard of 'proof'.
A case for intelligent design might be made if someone could demonstrate either that something clearly was intelligently designed (a protein that folded into the runic symbols for "(C)Wotan Industries, all rights reserved" would be pretty unambiguous), or could not be anything other that intelligently designed (bit more difficult this one).
Instead what we get is assertions that something was intelligently designed and demands for proof that it wasn't. Even when such proof is forthcoming (bacterial flagella anyone?), IDists just keep trotting it out as an example of how right they were. Just like the lying creationists they are under their shiny, plastic, ID disguises.
By the powers vested in me by no one in particular, I am hereby calling into creation what shall henceforth be known as Hovind's Law:
DISSENTION DOES NOT IMPLY DEBATE. So get over yourselves.
Really? Doesn't finding an intelligent designer just push the problem further back?
After all, who designed him?
The only "proof" for ID is the argument from personal incredulity: "I personally can't see how [blood clotting, bacterial tails, insert favorite personal mystery here] could have evolved, so it didn't".
Actually, he's got us there.
All you have to do to prove intelligent design is close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears, and shove your head as far up your arse as possible.
Yeah, some of us just require real scientific facts instead of Biblical ones to believe in a scientific theory. "God fucked up, and fixed it" just doesn't really sound real "sciencey", if you know what I mean. I guess we're just funny that way.
...intelligent design is easier to prove by sumerian mythology than evolution is. some people just don't accept that fact."
Fixed. And it's really true. Ever try to prove evolution true by referring to sumerian mythology? Can't be done.
I am so sick of every last one of these idiots saying that intelligent design can be proven by science and evolution disproven.
Fine. If that's the case PROVE IT. RIGHT NOW. Use SCIENCE to disprove evolution. If you can't, then shut up forever.
An old book that claims itself as a reliable authority is not scientific evidence.
And I suppose by "prove" you really mean "make me think it's right" which is impossible for evolution since you don't want to believe it. We call this closed-mindedness. We do not like it.
Well, prove it?
No ''GODIDIT''
Sure we would! To "prove" requires "proof." "Proof," in this case, takes the form of evidence. We look for your evidence every single time you blare out that it's factual, and that you can prove it.
Great! That's all we're asking for. Grab your evidence, show it to us, and thus prove your statement.
Ok. So let's assume for a moment evolution is completely wrong (it isn't). Your claiming it is doesn't mean that your claim (ID is true) or any other claim is therefore the only other possible explanation, or is somehow automatically the correct explanation. You must present EVIDENCE for FOR YOUR CLAIM.
So explain exactly how ID works. In detail. Tell us exactly how ID explains everything we see in the world around us. Tell us exactly how we can verify ID is true. Tell us what predictions ID makes, and how we can verify these predictions are true.
And no, "goddidit" isn't an explanation or a prediction.
Well?
“...intelligent design is easier to prove by science than evolution is. some people just don't accept that fact.”
it’s not a fact.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
