The Anti-Evolution Hall Of Fame

   Seems to me black holes are necessary to support the big bang and expanding universe, which is necessary to support
   theory of evolution, necessary to support that the universe is progressive, which means only what we have achieved with all our progress, is of any consequence in the whole of it all. And the devil take the hind-most.

   This sounds like an interesting discussion, so, if you don't mind, I am going to jump right in and have my say. Earlier in the discussion, Prophecy Teacher mentioned that he cannot envision, if I recall correctly, something coming from nothing. However, he added that he can envision something coming from something. On that note, I would argue that as many mystic and sages of old tell us that "God is the universe and the universe is God". Science teaches us that energy becomes matter and matter becomes energy. Being both a lover of mystical wisdom and a lover of scientific knowledge, I would tend to argue that the belief in God and the belief in evolution do not necessarily have to be in conflict with each other. You can believe in God and Evolution at the same time. As I see it, there can be no evolution without God. The two are co-joined. Evolution, of course, from my vanish point, is the subset of the major "set", God. The question that many of you are probably asking is this: How do you know that your first principle of God being synonymous with the universe is true? Answer: I don't. I tend to take the mystics and other seers having similar experience throughout the ages and throughout the world at their word. Or, as Jesus Christ put it: "Lest you be born again, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven". Translation: Until you have attained Buddahood or been transfigured or have experienced Cosmic Consciousness, you CANNOT and WILL NOT ever know these things. My point is that I cannot prove my first principle. On the contrary, I have to rely on the reports of others.

   We seem to be veering away from the purpose of this thread, which was to gather together great examples of anti-evolutionists' more bizarre lines of argument, stripping away the more ordinary and nowhere near as amusing actual arguments.
   
   If you want to have a debate about evolution, start a new thread or dig up one of the old ones.
   
   This is not a debate thread; this is an awards thread.
   
   Anyone can make a nomination, but you must nominate someone ELSE; you can't nominate yourself.
   
   When you nominate, suggest a score. Others are welcome to debate and dispute the suggested score. Scoring is out of 10, with a 10 representing the best possible example of an anti-evolutionist presenting an argument that actually supports evolution as though it disproves it instead.
   
   Blatant ignorance of the mechanics of Darwinian evolution, geology and the scientific method are usually prerequisites for a good score.
   
   Simply asserting things written in the Bible as though being in the Bible makes them ipso facto "facts" that are "true" is only worth a 1 or a 2, and generally doesn't make the grade for nominations. We are looking for 5 and above - things that make your jaw drop.
   
   And yes, it's supposed to be fun. Don't start arguing the pros and cons of evolution in this thread. This is the spectators gallery, where we watch and enjoy, and make comment on the sport ...

   How many evolutionists does it take to buy airline tickets?
   
   A loaded question.  They might as well just stand in front of a junk yard, wait for a couple thousand tornados to ramble through it and then they'd have their airline ready for flight.  But that's a best case senario.  They'd probably end up with some unsafe value jet DC-9 in crappy condition.

   Yes, it's amusing, but you're right - to fit the qualification, the quote needs to display ignorance of the theory of evolution. Bonus points for providing evidence for evolution as though it is evidence against.
   
   I think it should stay, though, because it's a pearler.

         We're all equally evolved, since we all co-exist at the same point in time ... but we should take this discussion to another thread, it's getting OT.

    I am confused at how many anti-evolutionists have no idea what evolution actually means...  There are no fish "changing" into lizards, and no one is saying that they are or ever could...
    
    Did none of you ever take basic biology?
    
    Genetic mutations happen in pretty much every generation of every species, and when one mutation works better than the other, the better one gets the chance to breed.  That is evolution.  Do you seriously have an issue with THAT??  It's irrefutable and says absolutely nothing about (for OR against) religion...
    
    I think that the anti-evolutionists are fighting against something else entirely.

    Not as spectacular as some previous efforts, but a solid 6/10 I'd say, based on equating accepting a hypothesis like the Theory of Evolution with religious worship, and then the whole fascinating bastardisation of stem cell research, revealing an almost total ignorance of biology.
