Brilliant example of the failure of imagination on the part of those whose abilty to think has been restricted by religion.

Actually evolution happens constantly on a much smaller time scale than 6000 years. For instance, it takes many generations for bacteria to evolve drug resistance, but since the generations are so short, many of our older antibiotics are now of limited use.

Its simple really. Evolution COULD occur, but not in the 6000 years the earth has existed… No scientists admit there’s any way major scale evolution could have happened in that time.
(Save for divine intervention of course.)

what did I write there? Should be ‘evidence of this’ not ‘theist’. Is that Freudian?
Forman, who are you addressing? I assume you mean all of the posters above you when you say ‘none of you’. I can’t speak for them, but I’m quite certain that Miller is someone most have heard of. What does your comment about ‘applies to your cartoon’ suppposed to mean? I really don’t get what you are saying. Please explain. On Miller, you might want to read Jerry Coyne’s recent article, posted with responses here at Dawkins’s site. Unless you don’t dare to venture into the lion’s den.
I find it interesting that your comment drifts more and more into passive-aggressive anger towards the end. This reveals a deep insecurity. In case you do go to Coyne’s article, perhaps you want to discuss a few things with the ‘fundamentalist Evolutionists’ there. You might be surprised. A hint: praying doesn’t help you in a rational discussion.

Ahh, yes, the elusive micro-macro-barrier. I asked for evidence of theist barrier in a recent discussion. The guy stated that a) the barrier is there because we can’t show it isn’t (as usual ‘they’re still bacteria, they’re still lizards, blah blah). Which invalidates the whole logical premise that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Which means that by insisting the barrier is there, the same argument allows an atheist to insist God is not.
b) asked for positive evidence, because surely he accepts that the burden of proof is on the claimant, he said that that was what ID was working on, and that the establishment of dogmatic science wouldn’t let them. In response, I and a few others provided evidence that in fact the DI itself has a funding that is far above that of secular university institutes, and that there are several other creo/ID ‘research’ institutes. Put together they have produced exactly nothing substantiating ID in the last few years. Which seems even less compared to the 15,000+ papers about evolutionary biology that are published every single year. ID has no excuse. But that’s apparently sufficient to fool people blinded by faith.

Thanks for lumping all people of faith together. I’m sure you’re very proud of your bigotry (I’m sorry, “intellect”). Have none of you heard of Kenneth R. Miller?
BTW, the whole “walking on water” thing applies to your cartoon, proving once again that the long odds embraced by fundamentalist Evolutionists places them in the category of religious cult. Next time you look in the mirror, don’t forget to pray.

Ryan- I followed your link- Ugh! Any idea where that Pennignton ppt can be obtained? It would be fun to post a rebuttal linking to it.
