I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it has been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so flimsy and so dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has." Malcolm Muggeridge, British journalist and philosopher

Your interesting and compelling arguments in the field of evolutionary biology and deep understanding of molecular biology/organic chemistry/ genetics have convinced that evolution just isn't possible. Thanks! Great job!

This is the same second rate hack Muggeridge that was taken in by the Mother Theresa myth and who made a fool of himself on British tv debating the Life Of Brian with the Pythons.Philosopher my backside...

Taken in by the Mother Theresa myth? Hell, he practically invented it! A fraud of massive proportion.

While we're quoting people to support and tear down the fairy tale of spontaneous generation let's see quote some men that I'm sure have more intelligence than you do.

The "father of evolution" (Charles Darwin) said, "To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting to focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

"Most modern biologists, having reviewed with satisfaction the downfall of the spontaneous generation hypothesis, yet unwilling to accept the alternative belief in special creation, are left with nothing." (Dr. George Wald, evolutionist, Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University at Harvard, Nobel Prize winner in Biology.)

"Evolution [is] a theory universally accepted not because it can be proven by logically coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible." (Professor D.M.S. Watson, leading biologist and science writer of his day.)

"My attempts to demonstrate evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years have completely failed.....It is not even possible to make a caricature of an evolution out of paleobiological facts...The idea of an evolution rests on pure belief." (Dr. Nils Heribert-Nilsson, noted Swedish botanist and geneticist, of Lund University)

"Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever! In explaining evolution we do not have one iota of fact." (Dr. Newton Tahmisian, Atomic Energy Commission.)

"Evolution is unproved and improvable, we believe it because the only alternative is special creation, which is unthinkable." (Sir Arthur Keith, a militant anti-Christian physical anthropologist)

"Life doesn't spontaneously generate from dead matter." A fact that that any child in primary school knows.

Muggeridge was a toilet-head.

his spiritual beliefs began to become more significant in his professional career. He became a figure of some ridicule and satire as he took to frequently denouncing the new sexual laxity of the swinging sixties on radio and television. He particularly railed against "Pills and Pot" – birth control pills and cannabis. He was contemptuous of fellow countrymen the Beatles. In a 1968 article in Esquire magazine, he called them "four vacant youths... dummy figures with tousled heads (and) no talent."

They got rid of the Aristotle textbooks?!?

So science does not fully understand abiogenesis or evolution,which are seperate subjects btw,so what?Make stuff up?

or that boys come from cabbage, girls come from roses, and are brought to their parents by stork birds. At least that's how you explain it to little kids in france, when comes the embarassing question "how do we make babies"

LOL... except, spontaneous generation has almost nothing to do with evolution.

In fact, what you argue.. that God put everything here essentially "as is" is the one defeated by the spontaneous generation arguments to which you refer.

Just one of the many reasons why you face repeated criticism and ridicule.

Debating evolution begins with actually debating evolution.. not some cokamamie theories someone has told you represent evolution.

Don't tell me that children AREN'T BORN OUT OF CABBAGE PATCHES. DON'T DO IT. I CAN'T TAKE IT.

WHAT IS THERE LEFT TO BELIEVE IN THE WORLD.

The Frenchman is very poetic.

In Saxony we tell the kinder that girls are chiseled out of rock in the Lugau-Oelsnitz coal mines while the boys are forged out of steel at the Raschau iron works. A She-Troll from the forest carries the kinder to the parents. When the She-Troll arrives with the kinder it is slain by the villagers and her body parts hammered into schnitzel and served as a feast while the fluids of the She-Troll is drained and the child nursed on troll blood and marrow (helps avoid embarrassing conversation about breasts).

I've always heard that if you are superstitious your ears will turn into cabbage but I don't believe it because I don't want to take that chance.

So just going to gloss over the fact that evolution has little or nothing to do with spontaneous [life] generation?

Those boxing chaps are a really superstitious bunch I tell ya!
