Then what is your definition of "science"? Is it evolution? The idea that dinosaurs suddenly sprouted wings and became birds? Or that monkeys broke there tails, started walking on 2 legs and became people?
Is that science to you?

"Then what is your definition of "science"?"Science is data gathering by controlled experiments and observations, and drawing logical conclusions from the data.
"Is it evolution?"
The ToE is indeed science.
"The idea that dinosaurs suddenly sprouted wings and became birds? Or that monkeys broke there tails, started walking on 2 legs and became people?"
None of us who understand and accept the ToE propounds such ridiculous blather. You should be ashamed of yourself for either thinking that we do or for knowing that we don't and saying that we do anyway. Either way, you are an asshat.
"Is that science to you?"
No, what you wrote was entirely Fundiebabble. That is NOT science to me. The ToE is indeed science.
Seriously, dinosaurs did not suddenly sprout wings and become birds overnight, and nobody claims they did. Small meat-eating dinosaurs related to Velociraptor, as one theory goes, started by developing long, flexible arms for grabbing prey more easily. This process took many generations. Later, the arms were further developed for climbing trees and gliding from them. Finally, stronger flight muscles developed. While all this was going on, and before that even, feathers had started developing, first small downy ones for insulation, then bigger plume-like ones for display. The latter were modified for flight along with the arms.
Does everything have to happen suddenly to these fundie fuckwits?
The idea that dinosaurs suddenly sprouted wings and became birds? birds eventually grew long feathers on back edges of their arms that allowed them to stay airborne.
Take a look at the skeleton of the dinosaur Struthiomimus . Then look at the skeleton of an an ostrich. Can you tell the difference? Probably not.

Learn what it is you are attacking before you attack it. I can't guarantee that you won't look like an idiot as a result, but it can't hurt.
quoting Berny:Does everything have to happen suddenly to these fundie fuckwits?
Seriously, anytime I've ever read a criticism of evolution by one of these idiots, it has involved instantaneous mutation of some lifeform to something else.
Can they honestly not understand the concept of gradual changes over several thousands of years?
Well no. Remember, there's only a few thousand years for all these things to appen in. In fact, given that it all happened before man, there's only a couple of days. Come on! Think like a fundy!
Monkeys. Are. Not. Apes.
Then what is your definition of "science"? The definition of science is as follows:
The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.
Yours is apparently different.
Is it evolution?
No. Evolution is a theory and a fact which was discovered through science. Science, however, refers to a method.
The idea that dinosaurs suddenly sprouted wings and became birds? Or that monkeys broke there tails, started walking on 2 legs and became people?
No one suggests that either ever happened. However, creationists often suggest that scientists suggest that it did.
Liveexclaimationpoint, you really ought to learn what evolution says before you criticise it. Populations evolve, not individuals. That's about as basic as you can get.
Who was it, again, who said: "Creationists think that evolution means seeing a donkey turn into an octopus in about four hours in your backyard?"
Is that science to you?
No, that's a straw man that you brutally destroyed. I'm a member of the AHTSM, and I strongly protest your murder of our straw friends.
Science is a series of methods to explore and understand the world around us, and to benefit from what we learn. That computer and the Internet you're writing on are such benefits, and the heating in your house, the material it's built of and the method with wich it is built, to take just a few easy examples.
The word science comes from the latin word for Knowledge. That is all.
None of your stupid strawman ideas are science, no. Nothing in evolution happens suddenly, it usually takes thousands of generations.

Question:

How many humans can walk on a rope - without a balancing pole, least of all a woman with her child ? Have you got the cojones to do the same, Live!? Because if your answer is anything other than 'Yes', and are prepared to prove it now - with footage uploaded to YouTube - your argument has not only been blasted out of the space-time continuum, it - like your so-called biblegod (Genesis & all that 'Creationist' jazz) - never fucking existed in the first place.
The more you know . And that's what 'Science ' is defined as.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
