Evolution is science???? Don't make me laugh!!!! Evolution: In the beginning there was random chance. Explain to me HOW that is science????
Darwinian evolution is a belief system based largely on faith. It is the religion of the age. Professor Louis T. Moore, a vocal evolutionist, said:
"The more one studies paleontology, the more certain one becomes that evolution is based on faith alone." (8, pg. 50)
"It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything."
—G. Chesterson

"Darwinian evolution is a belief system based largely on faith."
You say that as if a belief system based solely on faith is a bad thing, hmmmmmmmmm.
I beleive some self reflection and introspection is called for here.
Ever notice how among fundies faith is a good thing... until they apply it to atheists? "It takes more faith to be an atheist than to believe in God." "Evolution is a belief system based on faith."
It's like they know that believing things based only on faith isn't necessarily a good thing... but they're still unable to apply it to their own religious beliefs.
afchief,the only one saying there was " nothing"before expansion occurred is the creationist camp.All science is saying is that we have no way of assessing or hypothesizing about the state of spacetime before said expansion occurred.Simple, no? Not unlike you...
Evolution has nothing to do with beginnings. It's simply adaptation to a changing environment, through random mutations and natural selection.
A god might well have kick-started evolution; religion and evolution are not mutually exclusive.
Evolution is one of the strongest, most supported and best understood theories around. It's more scientifically sound and understood than gravity.
Evolution in not so much random chance as a process of adaptation.
Oh, hey. I think I actually understand science better than you.
Anyone researching the above quotes will note a significant lack of citations for "Louis T Moore." I found a photographer and civic booster by that name in North Carolina. He is the Louis T. Moore who died in 1961. Sounds like he was a great guy, but he had nothing to do with evolution.
Then I found the same quote attributed to "Louis T. More," and claims that he was a professor of geology and palentology at Princeton. But there is no record of that name except on bible shill sites.
Then I found PZ Myers had already covered this quote:http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/09/09/i-despise-quoteminers-so-much/
The fundamental dishonesty of creationists like "afchief" is extraordinary.
Bow down, ye infidels, before the power of the quote mine!
BTW, for those of you who might find yourself in a discussion with someone who pulls the "nothing turned into everything" card out of their ass, the Big Bang Theory doesn't claim that nothing turned into everything. All the matter and energy in the universe was present before the Big Bang but, since the universe and the laws of physics we know today didn't yet exist, it's all but impossible to explain to a layman what form that matter and energy took.
Let's look at this.
On one side, we have reality, based on empirical scientific data that "Big Bang" - an expansion of the space/time contiuum from a singularity, occurred.
One the other, we have Creotard/IDiots who claim that an iron-age, tyrannical war pixie, the god of insecure goat-fuckers, poofed everything into existence.
One has actual evidence, one only has a book that claims itself to be true as the sole testament to the Big Poofing. I'm trying to decide which is more accurate? It is so hard to tell sometimes.
Hey Chief - please give a detailed definition of "kinds" , if you would be so nice. It doesn't appear that your Creotard/IDiot friends have been able to so, ever. I'm sure the DIsco would give you a nice reward if you could.

"Moore died in 1961. Chesterton died in 1936.
Got anything that's a bit more modern?"
...meanwhile, Richard Lenski's decades-long E-coli research . Repeatable , too.
It certainly gives Andy Schaftafly recurrent butthurt, as it keeps proving him wrong >:D
Turning fundies into inferior retards. An exact science.
Ah, faith. Twisted by the blind into meaning blind belief, and now it's the commonly accepted term.
I still prefer to refer to faith as a positive thing. I.E., "The atheist had faith that his friend would be able to ace the entry exam into Harvard."
“Evolution is science???? Don't make me laugh!!!!”
“Evolution: In the beginning there was random chance. Explain to me HOW that is science????”
“Darwinian evolution is a belief system based largely on faith.”
“It is the religion of the age”
“Professor Louis T. Moore, a vocal evolutionist,"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
