The evolutionist arguments remind one of the global warming thing. It's accepted as the great what is and ever will be regardless of actual data supporting it. The argument for evolution is another one of those points that can bring together polar political, socioeconomic opposites.
Exactly--it's akin to Obama saying "the debate over global warming and whether it is manmade is over--science has already proven it to be beyond debate."
That's so wrong that it's funny.
It's actually dead right. Look at how Darwinians defend their case: by employing fallacy after fallacy, including heavy appeals to authority. In fact "Origins" by Darwin begins with an obvious fallacy on its title page (the tautology that the fittest survive and the fittest are those who leave the most off-spring!) We've been told repeatedly in this thread that evolution must be true because the majority of scientists say it is. This is an elementary logical fallacy, but it's exactly the same fallacy employed time and again in defense of AGW. That is a fact, however much DBT wants to wish it away. Obama's quote on the science of AGW is something defenders of Neo-Darwinism do all the time. We've heard it time and again "the science is settled" and 97% of scientists believe in man-made, catastrophic global warming. Defenders of Neo-Darwinism constantly employ the exact same fallacy. Yet as every logician (or philosopher of science) with an IQ higher than an ant understands, truth is not determined by consensus. It has been said that you don't need to know much about neo-darwinism to know it probably isn't true---just look at how its defenders argue their case! When you are forced to resort to ad hominem marginalization, appeals to authority (which DBT and other defenders of Neo-Darwinism have done repeatedly in this thread---just as defenders of AGW constantly do) when these tools are employed by the proponent of an argument it's practically a confession that the argument the person is defending is not defensible.
This is actually funny. Look at what the anti-evolutionists have been doing this entire thread, and you have pretty much nailed it perfectly.
Obviously the fittest have the best odds to survive and therefore leave the fittest offspring.
Human Evolution Evidence | The Smithsonian Institution's Human ... humanorigins.si.edu/evidence “Evidence of Evolution-Scientists have discovered a wealth of evidence concerning human , and this evidence comes in many forms. Thousands of human fossils enable researchers and students to study the changes that occurred in brain and body size, locomotion, diet, and other aspects regarding the way of life of early human over the past 6 million years. Millions of stone tools, figurines and paintings, footprints, and other traces of human behavior in the prehistoric record tell about where and how early humans lived and when certain technological innovations were invented. Study of human genetics show how closely related we are to other – in fact, how connected we are with all other organisms – and can indicate the prehistoric migrations of our species, Homo sapiens, all over the world. Advances in the dating of fossils and artifacts help determine the age of those remains, which contributes to the big picture of when different milestones in becoming human evolved.”

“In Trump We Trust.” Right????
SOMEBODY please tell TRH that Netanyahu NEVER said "Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away."
