Show me through science how the faith of others in any way proves yours, exploding dots, magically appearing life and all. Then produce some documentation on the last billion years or so.
Evolution is not faith-based. It is science-based. Therefore not a religion - unlike what you choose to follow.
Have a photo of the "common ancestor" or do I have to take it on faith it ever existed like you do?
Sure, I'll present it when you present a photo of your God.
Why is it you blind faith evolutionists have to keep brining up the beliefs of others in some feeble, lame attempt to prove yours? If it's science, show the picture - or do I need to continue to take it on faith?

I`m really tired of primitive apes refusing solid proof just on the basis of their brains apparently being too simple to understand it. We make ourselves a society that does not respect our own advancements and people who made those possible and we let loudmouthed cretins attack the very principles which make our lives what they are. Sorry but the more I look at shit like this the more I just want to get away from them all or at least make them powerless to influence my life and the lives of all those who would rather live by education, science and medicine. They have no right to take that from us.
Because it's your faith that forces your denial of scientific consensus. There are thousands of individual and applically related evidences that demonstrate evolution. People who aren't religious or don't have a belief in the supernatural myths don't disbelieve science because of a lack of facts, they in fact just don't care about science either and aren't invested in it either way. The knowledge has done me no good in my lifes endevours.
It's not just that they demand absolute 100% proven evidence in the form of everything available dating back to the simplist life form. That would just be excessively demanding. It's that they insist they never have to support any of their claims AT ALL IN ANY WAY. That's immensely hypocritical.
"Why is it you blind faith evolutionists have to keep brining up the beliefs of others in some feeble, lame attempt to prove yours?"
We don't, those that care provide the evidence (which there most certainly is) that evolution collides with your beliefs isn't sciences fault. It's the fact that you've decided blind faith is the way.
"Why is it you blind faith evolutionists have to keep brining up the beliefs of others in some feeble, lame attempt to prove yours?"
But that's exactly what you do. You claim evolution is a religion or depends on faith, and demand proof, yet you are unable (or unwilling) to provide proof of your own beliefs. If you could give us a single item that makes your beliefs any more valid than any other system, we'd be more likely to at least listen to you. Otherwise, it's just "I'm right and I don't have to prove it."
Faith can't be measured, so no, we won't be showing you through science how one imaginary friend is better than another imaginary friend.
We have the fossil records. We win!

Your call, o Boner.
> He literally used "pics or it didn't happen" as a legit argument.
Actually, most uses of "pics or it didn't happen" are meant as legit arguments. It's just a way to express skepticism.
Of course, Swede has pics, so it's not a very good argument in this case...
It's not an attempt to prove our science. It's an attempt to show you the way we approach a scientific proof. Show the EVIDENCE. We don't have to produce a living, breathing dinosaur to prove they existed. We have to show the EVIDENCE for a dinosaur. Same thing with all the pre-human ancestors: they're gone, but we have the EVIDENCE to show you.
You don't have any evidence of god. Anything that you choose to show us can be more easily and more logically explained by OUR evidence for a natural cause.
Please, get cancer and demand that your oncologist give you a crash course on radiology, cytology, etc. right there in his office. Even in crappy schools kids still get the basics for understanding how the physical universe works; you're just too lazy to apply them.

In a way, this guy does have a point.
If a person doesn't have the brains to understand something you try to teach them, it would require faith for them to believe it, because they don't have any good reason to.
So yes, Oboe, you would need to take science on faith, because you apparently lack the cognitive ability to process the information presented to you.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
