What is it called when it is impossible to distinguish between a sufficiently extreme position and a parody of that position? I've lost track of what I think is a troll and what isn't. I have a tendency to think almost everyone is just fricking around.

I believe in Creation. I do keep an open mind and seek knowledge even at my elder age.

It is getting harder. I do think people like Demon Slayer Who Shall Not Be Named is a true believer. We know that lunatic DawgfaninCA is. Dude believes he's seen giant sea serpents and the whole scientific community is against him. And we've found links to his "evidence", etc.

This might be the dumbest thread I ever been apart of.

I'll give you mine. Evolution is descent with modification. Natural selection is the mechanism.
I believe in natural selection. Evolution, on a larger scale, is, at the very least, unprovable if not fiction for adults like he said.
One of the larger problems I have with evolution is DNA/MRNA. DNA needs MRNA to send out the messages. So, how did DNA ultimately get "read"? It sent a message to create MRNA without MRNA in existence to read it?
I don't believe in evolution. No one has ever witnessed one "kind" become a different "kind". There's a problem with the definition of "species". Just because a virus "evolves" via natural selection doesn't mean that it ceases to be a virus.
Having said that, I have problems with God as well on a personal level. I believe in a creator, but I have issues with the God of the Bible. He's allegedly love, and love is allegedly kind, but kids getting Cancer outside the realm of a personal choice or the "system" genetics doesn't seem kind to me.

Most cancers are proven to be man made creations that cause cancerous mutations to body cells. If this is wrong y'all can straighten me out.

Oh it gets dumber. You know shite is off the chain when people start talking about summoning demons and slaying them, being summoned to God's thrown room, and pine tree elephants.

First...using the word "kind" twice is kind of a tell.
But having said that, I'll address this.

You're addressing the false notion of micro versus macro evolution. It's a strawman. There is no difference, only time scale. It's like saying no one has ever seen an oak tree grow from acorn to maturity and then die. Does that mean we don;t understand how oak trees work? Nope...just means our lifespans do not coincide with the timescale needed to see that particular phenomenon.

Should I start with the LUA or the LCA between humans and apes? Both are hilarious 
Words that fill these claims and their "evidence" always include: Should, Would, could, we think, possibly, etc. Scientists search for "evidence" from the belief that evolution is true. The same way Christians look for "evidence" of God's work. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Growing from a seed into a tree is substantially different than human beings ultimately "evolving" from birds.
If evolution were a result of a few hundred years over the course of recorded history, I would probably believe in evolution
It's not. It's stretched out over billions of years. It pertains largely to time.

Its the exact opposite.
Learn about how the process works.

So if it were less believable you would believe in it. Got it.

Exactly.
"If the process made no scientific sense whatsoever it would make more sense!"

No. If the evidence were demonstrable, I would be more likely to believe in it.
Posted on 6/1/16 at 5:06 pm to studentsect
It was hypothetical. "If it were..."
Making it demonstrable over recorded history with eyewitness accounts of one "kind" becoming another "kind" would make it more believable. I understand the theory. It depends on stretching everything out over billions of years because of descent with modification ultimately leading to higher levels of organization.

Rush is a professional arguer, and this point is hard to argue in a radio segment.
