I can tell you that evolution is a myth. I realise this every time I watch a wasp/bee/fly/daddy long legs/a.n.other insect try to fly through glass. Again. And again. And again. And - you get my point.
Glass has been around for hundreds of years - so if creatures of this world are evolving, why havent they learnt how to understand glass! Listen wasp, its see through, but its solid, ok?!?!?!! You cant fly through it!!!!!! But they never, ever learn. And therefore they will never "evolve". Because they cant.
Anyway, I think that this is total conclusive ultimate proof that evolution is non-existent.

Because they cannot comprehend that. The number of insects that get stuck behind glass are a tiny number compared to the ones that fly around outside. Its like moths and fire. The numbers of them that die due to artificial lights is a small number when compared to the numbers that use the moon to fly around.
However, Dogs and Cats quickly learn about glass. And glass does not affect cetaceans (it turns up as solid on their echolocators)
That's nice, dear. Here's some crayons. Why don't you draw a nice picture for Mama?
*pats head and goes to kitchen to fix supper*
So, bugs aren't advanced enough to comprehend glass as we do disproves evolution how exactly?
Are you telling me there's severe natural selection pressure due to massive death due to glass?
Or is this another evolution=pokemon retard?
@JohnnyBGod: We've been telling them that for a long time. It doesn't do any good. They just say "It's still a bacteria! That's just MICROevolution."
EDIT: As evidenced by reading the comments on that article...

Evolution huh? They are still bacteria... If a child is born with an extra arm due to a "random event", which allows them to carry 3 cups of coffee at a starbucks - is that evolution?"
@KaylaKaze
*sigh* you're right, i haven't had coffee yet today, so I thought they might actually understand what a species is, and that these are no longer E. Coli which means speciation happened but ... that's too much to hope for, as the comments you mentioned seem to indicate that they think that all bacteria are a single species.
They won't be happy unless a bacteria turns into a human in 1 generation.
Thanks for straightening me out, now i will get some coffee and try to wake up a few more brain cells.
Listen fundie, it sounds like logic, but its fundie logic, ok?!?!?!! You cant think using it!!!!!! But they never, ever learn. And therefore they will never "reform". Because they cant.
Anyway, I think that this is total conclusive ultimate proof that fundie comprehension of reality is non-existent.
Johnnybegod:
If evolution is true why is there still e coli?
Believe it or not, there are actually humans who do the same thing, except for the flying part.
Anyway, I think that this is total conclusive ultimate proof that some people are witless.
@ LordJiro: Agreed, and laughing my ass off. :o)
@ 'TheTruth'...the only proof you've presented is that you're a dolt who possesses little to zero understanding of evolution, or the natural world in general.
It would benefit you greatly to study up.
Oh, and stop being fucking stupid. That helps too.
I can tell you that evolution is a myth. I realise this every time I watch a christian, muslim or other fundy try to argue against science. Again. And again. And again. And - you get my point.
Science has been around for hundreds of years - so if creatures of this world are evolving, why havent they learnt how to understand science! Listen moron, it may seem difficult, but its solid, ok?!?!?!! You cant argue around it!!!!!! But they never, ever learn.
Because they have shit vision compared to humans, and they really have no way of knowing if a window is open or not.
Besides, this kind of specific knowledge is not as likely to be encoded into instincts, it's just not worth it.
@ LordJiro
I'm afraid to say that this idiot is from my side of the pond, in Dear Old Blighty.
What you call Daddy longlegs are referred to as Harvestmen over here.
He is talking about Cranefly [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranefly ]
"I can tell you that evolution is a myth. I realise this every time I watch a wasp/bee/fly/daddy long legs/a.n.other insect try to fly through glass. Again. And again. And again. And - you get my point."
Their brains, much like your own, would fit on the head of a pin with plenty of room to spare. What exactly were you expecting from them?
"Glass has been around for hundreds of years - so if creatures of this world are evolving, why havent they learnt how to understand glass!"
Didn't I just cover that?
"Listen wasp, its see through, but its solid, ok?!?!?!! You cant fly through it!!!!!! But they never, ever learn. And therefore they will never "evolve". Because they cant."
You seem a bit unclear as to what "evolve" means in a biological sense.
"Anyway, I think that this is total conclusive ultimate proof that evolution is non-existent."
Holy hell! You're right! Son of a bitch. Well, it was a good run anyway. We'll be sending you your Nobel Prize shortly.
Because glass hasn't been around very long, and evolution is a slow process? By your logic, high-speed ways of transport- faster than we can do on our own- have been around for over 100 years: airplanes, cars, and trains. Yet humans still break bones and get killed when one of these machines has an accident. You would wonder why humans haven't evolved to deal with car accidents and plane crashes.
So...how many wasps die trying to get through a window? Has a window proven to pose a challenge to the reproductive cycle of wasps? At all? Or do they just beat themselves against it for a while, get tired and move on? Evolution isn't about everything falling together in a nice, pretty picture. It's when something poses a challenge, unless the community can adapt, they die out. If something doesn't pose an issue, it's not going to put any pressure on the population.
evolution, among thousands of other strawmen you guys have created, is not the transference of knowledge via reproduction. That would be pretty damn cool if it were, however, as we'd have no need for basic education since it would all be innate and every generation would invariably be exponentially smarter than the last.
<< Daddy longlegs' can fly now? Dammit, they weren't creepy ENOUGH? >>
LordJiro: Sentiment heartily concurred here! That was actually my first thought, though, when I first encountered craneflies (aka damselflies, aka B-52s), since at first glance they look very much like daddy longlegs with wings. (*shudder*) I am modestly entomophobic and severely arachnophobic, and to me, daddy longlegs are among the creepiest of all spiders, rivalled only by tarantulas -- so you can well imagine that I'm not a bit thrilled when craneflies come around!

@ bearmaker
Thanks, I know them as leather jackets. I have sort of a love/hate relationship with them because they are creepy, but as a kid we used to try and shoot them down by flicking towels at them. They're actually really hard to hit, but it kept us entertained as kids.
It's also seethrough, cold, and doesn't move. To insects, its all but invisible.
BTW, @Bearmaker? Yay for britain!
Hey, maybe there are insects that can recognize glass. But they haven't been observed in nature yet. In any case, plate glass hasn't been around that long; before that, it was blown glass that was flattened out, and was far less... optically optimal. A couple of hundred years isn't that long, unless you're bacteria.
thetruth, that's not all!
When you drop an ice lolly, you'll notice that ants swarm around it to eat it. But ice lollies have only been around for about fifty years. So if ants are millions of years old, what did they eat before ice lollies were invented?
Explain that, evilutionists!?!?!?!?
EDIT:
Yeah, not very good, I know. I got it from Viz!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
