No hurries, here's a cat to help.

My game? How wonderful that you can ascribe motives to me based on written words on the Internet! You should get a late night infomercial and make some money.

_Ad hominem_ is when a claim or argument is rejected because of the person making it. Your claims and arguments have reasons for being rejected that have nothing to do with you. Primarily, your claims and arguments are rejected because they, purposely or accidentally, confuse multiple things. I'll get to that later.

Well I have no doubt that life started with divine intervention, and is maintained and expanded with intelligent intervention - whether God's or some kind of native intelligence in life itself that knows how to play with that toolkit. It's clear to me we're looking at a complex interplay between both.

(shrug) If we're going to be living in the information age, we might as well act like it and discuss information.

This emperor has no clothes, folks—-follow me now; this is contemporary Darwinian high-church propaganda. I'll be keen to see the lads explain further how artiodactyls' teeth "transitioned" to cetacean baleen. A mouthful of teeth are one thing; I guess we can imagine a favorable mutation taking them down to, what…1/3…

Can I just say that I love how you back up your assertions with links to source papers?

I was referring to the author describing "artiodactyls" as if it is the name of a single species of hippo-like creature, rather than an entire order within the animal kingdom composed of dozens of families and hundreds of species, living and extinct. My point had nothing to do with the phylogenetic relationship…

"incredible evolutionary changes"

That is the most hilarious headline which I have ever read.

idk. Atheists and ultra religious people both irritate me. Anyone that's fanatical about whatever they believe is pretty much bonkers in my book. Especially when they bash the other side. Humans just don't know enough about the universe to say anything for certain. For all we know those stories were told by time…

One of the central points of Christianity suggests that humanity's common ancestors were from Northern Africa/the Middle East. Tigress and Euphrates area. It's in Genesis.

what if god created evolution

Let's not forget Buffalo Bill

Please. I speak to you in friendship. Do not ever try to use a curse word with a couple asterisks in it. You wanted to say douche, you wanted me to read the word douche. But you put an asterisk in there to feel slightly better about using the word douche. It demeans both of us.

The reductions in spending authority are approximately $85.4 billion (versus $42 billion in actual cash outlays^{[note 2]}) during fiscal year 2013,^[2](p14) with similar cuts for years 2014 through 2021. However, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the total federal outlays will continue to increase even with…

You are angry at a small reduction in the increase of spending? These articles are complete propaganda. The government just needs to focus on cutting waste in all spending...military, science, education...everything has tons of waste.

Lowest level of sea ice ever recorded...in 34 years. If the Earth is 4.54 billion years old, we've been recording the sea ice for about .0000008% of it's existence. That's plenty of information to write alarmist posts about! Isn't that like doing a demographic study of the US population based on two people?

I hope you are prepared for the flood of hate speech you are bound to receive from the "tolerant" and "open-minded" liberals on here.
