LOL! I just LOVED how tgamble made a post that would print out to be several pages long explaining how something being a theory does not mean it isn't a fact, and exactly what a scientific theory is.

A few posts later Crowding Shadows says:

"If evolution is proven as you say, then why is it still taught as the "theory" of evolution?"

Do these people read other people's arguments??

Do these people realize that creationists bitch nonstop that evolution is NOT taught as theory but dogmatic proven fact blah blah blah?!

"Dinosaurs were alive at the time of Noah. Some species may have gone extinct, but for the most part, they were alive and well."

Well, this part is true, except we usually call them birds.

well it didn't take the mod long to close that thread did it?
whatever could he have done that for?

Oh well I was beginning to get a headache after reading what the one poster had as a definition for macroevolution, "a fish becoming not a fish" <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" /> <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" /> <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" />

I say, those people are just pure geniuses aren't they?

I mean we ALL know that the world was created in 4004 BC, and that humans and monkeys, though genetically similar, have absolutely nothing in common ancestor-wise.

Someone please gag me with a spoon.

They (the xian posting population at payableondeath.com) seem to be just kids. If any are over the age or 25, I would suspect clinical significant brain damage.

There is fantastic Cretigo material on that BB. I scored a HOVIND on just one thread!

In fact, they're a bunch of real dumb fuckers, actually. As one of the first Infidels to go over there and attempt to debate, I say:

Hitting your head against a brick wall is a waste of time. And going over there is hitting your head against a titanium wall.

It ain't worth it, guys. Reality is lost on them.

You may be right. the latest bit of idiocy is a claim that:
Noah took 100 years to build the Ark
people pre-flood were twice our size, therefore the Ark was twice the size we think it was
Since people lived to be very old they got to be very smart and developed cold storage units and mechanisms to deliver the food to the animals while on the ark

I gotta go take an aspirin
