Radio Show on Evolution vs Creation debate
Posted on 2/11/14 at 2:27 pm

So. I was channel flipping yesterday and happened upon a radio host who was a creationist supporter taking calls. It was a religious station I assume. No shite, these are the three calls I endured IN ORDER.
1)"If we came from Monkeys, why are there still monkeys?"
2)"That last caller sort of hit my point......I was wondering. If everything is supposed to be survival of the fittest and 'evolutionizing'(no shite, he said evolutionize), why are there any lower life forms left?"
3)"I had this idea pop into my head thinking about cows. I mean....when a cow has a baby, what is evolution supposed to know about what it takes to survive that the mother cow doesn't know? I mean, she survived".
In each case, the host lauded these callers for great points.
I mean come the frick on. Question 1&2 indicate that the people don't even know what evolution actually says on the subject. They're arguing against something that no one is asserting. #3? Well, he's just retarded.

I admit, that's a new one

Oh, now that I can understand. My bad

I'm trying to process this statement but it keeps getting spit out of my brain like a crumpled $1 bill.

Well, that was how evolution was originally taught. Millions of people went to their grave clinging to that garbage. And of course it was proven wrong. As people of that day said it would. And were mocked, by people like you.
But now we have the branching tree theory of evolution. And billions of people will go to their grave clinging to that belief. And it will be proven wrong and replaced by something like, oh, I don't know, punctuated equilibrium. And if you didn't know, that replacement IS already in the works

'The tree of life is politely buried, we all know that,' he says. 'What's less accepted is that our whole fundamental view of biology needs to change.' Biology is vastly more complex than we thought, he says." " 'The tree of life was useful,' says Bapteste. 'It helped us to understand that evolution was real. But now we know more about evolution, it's time to move on.'"
But that's not gonna do any good to the billions that were lied to while they were still alive, now will it?

And as usual, you would be wrong.
Remember the Scopes Monkey trial, that ushered in the teaching of evolution in schools? It happened in 1925. This is the chart used by the teacher that was at the heart of the case. The science teacher. Who was teaching the students about how man evolved. Based on Darwins theory from 1868. That's 57 years of a flat out lie taught in schools as 'proven science', and he won the case. With what we knew then, and even evolutionists admit today was false information
And 57 years from now, what you are defending as 'proven science' will once again be admitted by evolutionists of that day to be false information. Forced upon children in schools. Who they died with that belief

False information =/ False premise
Building upon a premise will always produce bad information with regards to certain aspects of the premise. Its part of the process of gaining knowledge as a society. They didnt even know what DNA was and the field of genetics didnt exist yet, of course aspects of evolutionary theory were altered with that information.

WTF are you talking about. That chart was not at the heart of the case. Scopes didn't even teach evolution. He volunteered to be indicted to push the case to courts to challenge Tennessee's Butler Act, which forbid teaching evolution in schools. The whole Human came from monkeys was pushed by the prosecution to get public and media support for his side of the case. There are even political art still out there from that era about that case. Now your spreading misinformation, Scopes flat out lost the case ,but got off the hook because the judge imposed a fine greater than $50. Did you just pull that out your a** ??
Scopes Monkey Trial (The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes) name was an invention of the media. To this day, I still never did find the origins of that picture as it has been responsible for so much misinformation.

No, it wasn't.
Maybe some grade school instructors who didn't know better taught it like that, but it was never proposed by that.
This is revisionist history at its finest.
