10/ Why do you think he has the last word in matter

Since your questions are idiotic, I see no reason to rehash them,
however, science does not say th at something comes from nothing.
pseudo-science can't say anything about the origin of the world
which is in the realm of Metaphysics. Thank you
for admitting that pseudo-science is powerless
I wasn't talking about pseudo-science.
I rather doubt that you're a man, so, fuck off, WeaselBlower.
Apparently it can, at least on the quantum level.

> 2/Where is the missing link?
There is no "missing link." There may be hominid ancestors we don't
yet know about, but the old notion of one missing link - 50% human and
50% ape - was put to rest by educated people long ago. I realize that
leaves you out, Codie, but there you are.

I read critically. That's why I'm an atheist: I read the bible
critically.

Because no "faith" is involved. Atheism is just "I don't believe
you."

That fact that it's observable, testable, and predictive.

He's buried under the floor of Westminster Abby. When I visited there

Nobody does. Where did you get that stupid idea?

The law of the Conservation of Mass/Energy states no. This leads
to the hypothesis that, while our early universe underwent a rapid
inflation, aka the "Big Bang", the mass/energy of the universe has always existed.
> 2/Where is the missing link?
For which species? Ardi has been recently found for Hominids.
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-transitional.html has a
good listing of a lot of transitional forms.
> 3/Do you read critically or you just happen
> to believe anything you read?
Critically.
> 4/Why do you believe that atheism is not a Faith?
One definition of "faith" is: 'Belief that does not rest on logical proof or
material evidence.' The definition for Atheism is "Non belief in a god or
gods". This non-belief is based on a lack of logical proof or material
evidence for a god or gods. Therefore, not a faith.
> 5/ What makes you see Evolution as Science.
Science observes the natural world, examines evidence, develops hypotheses,
conducts experiments, tests predictions, and forms theories, and then tests
theories, discarding or modifying the theory as new experimental evidence comes
to light.
The ToE has done, and continues to do, all these things. It's good science.
> 6/ My right hand finger is evolving. Can you predict
> which specy will come out of it?
Your "right hand finger" is simply a part of you as a larger whole. Unless
there's something completely freakish about your digits, they are incapable of
indipendently breeding. However, if a trait that your genes possess which
makes you more fit to breed (say, you can type at 250 words a minute, which
allows you to make mucho dollars, making you more attractive to the opposite
sex), then this trait will be (potentially) passed along to your offspring.
In my experience, however, WPM doesn't appear to impress the ladies that much.
> 7/ Can Evolution stop Evolution?
Not sure what you mean? Evolution does sometimes result in dead-ends.
Especially when environments change dramatically. The Burgess Extinction comes
to mind. Luckily Pikaia survived.
> 8/ Why did evolution fail to provide me with 5 dicks
> instead of one?
Because having 5 sets of reproductive organs doesn't appear to be a benefit,
seeing as how a male hominid is capable of mating multiple times a day. See

> 9/Where is Darwin?
Dead. You can find his mortal remains here:

> 10/ Why do you think he has the last word in matter
> of Metaphysics?
Darwin didn't have anything to say on Metaphysics. He posited the Theory of
Evolution, which, as we've already established, is Science, not Metaphysics.

> 2/Where is the missing link?
Don't tell me, you actually think that ToE predicts a 'half man half monkey'
species as the one and only link between humans and it's earliest ape-like
ancestor. There is no hunt for "the missing link" without which ToE falls
completely apart.
If you really are as inquisitive as you claim to be, read up on how modern
evolutionary biology regards species and the links/transitional forms
between them. Look in the mirror for starters. You're a link between, let's
say Homo erectus and whatever species Homo sapiens will have turned into, in
a million years.

It appears more and more likely that something can be created
from "nothing." In fact, we've known about quantum fluctuation
for quite a while and can actually measure the repulsive force
(Casimir force).
It is very likely that some form of quantum fluctuation was the
uncaused change in energy at a point in space resulting in the
expansion of space known as "The Big Bang".
Keep in mind that absolute nothingness (absolute zero) is unattainable
because it violates Heisenberg Uncertainty. Therefore a NO UNIVERSE
scenario is simply not sustainable and thus a universe MUST pop into
existence.
Here's a video by Lawrence Krauss called "A Universe From Nothing'
just to get your thinking jump started:

Thirteen inches? That's all you'v got?
I've had *way* more than that, needle-dick.
Besides, as any woman knows, it's not the size of the wave that

What, Codie, help someone? Don't make me laugh.
Feeling very inadequate here right now.

Nope, still not feeling any better. :)

I guess we'd better not tell him that speciation is essentially
arbitrary. That might really blow his lid.

No. you are a very silly man who likes to be offensive but has only managed
inanity.
snip of adolescent attempt at humor.
I don't know.
Common sense says no.
"nothing" is a strange concept.
Can there really be nothing?
> 2/Where is the missing link?

Many missing links have been found.
The ones that havent been found are in the ground.
Fossils of terrestrial animals are extremely rare.
We are fortunate to have found as may Hominid fossils as we have.

> 5/ What makes you see Evolution as Science.

Your question quite doesn't make sense in english - but I think I know
what you are trying to say.
Evolution is a process that is going on in the real world.
Science can be used to study any natural phenomenon - so you can use
science to study rocks, plants, animals, stars, material substanes ...
anything that is observable, that you can collect evidence for, make
predictions about.
The sciences in which you study evolution are called Biology,
MicroBiology, Paleontology etc - there isnt actually a science called
"Evolution".
> 6/ My right hand finger is evolving. Can you predict
> which specy will come out of it?

Incoherent question.
Fingers don't evolve - individuals don't evolve - populations of
living things evolve.
> 7/ Can Evolution stop Evolution?
>
Incoherent question.
Evolution will only stop if/when there are no more living things
reproducing.
Evolution isnt a being that "does" things - its a process.
> 8/ Why did evolution fail to provide me with 5 dicks

Evolution isnt aiming for any particular outcome - its the "Blind
Watchmaker".

Darwin the man?
I don't think he has the last word in metaphisics.
I think he was a great observer of nature, a great scientist.

So, your not going away, ever?

No, you're a LYING, cowardly piece of vacuous, hypocritical trash who
apparently has a life so devoid of meaning, joy, and fulfillment the
only raison d'être your obviously useless religion has left you with
is that of desperately trying to score points off atheists. Clearly
your faith has done the cube root of diddly squat for you.
> so don't get mad If
> you don't have answers to my questions.
We don't get mad at you, we get thoroughly amused at how crippled your
religion has left you and your ilk, when we're not getting frustrated
at how your religion has robbed you of the last vestige of critical
thinking to the point where it's impossible for anyone to have any
sort of conversation with you that even remotely approaches
intelligent.
> Don't resort to name calling which shows to the world
> your desperation.you know....
There it is: your true color showing. You really cannot help
yourself, can you? You cannot post a message to actually embark upon
a real discussion; all you're capable of is taking ham-fisted potshots
at anyone who doesn't follow you like a blind, lost and crippled
sheep. You have no intention whatsoever of following any religious
prescription of going the extra mile, lending your coat, or turning
the other cheek, do you? In short, you not only failed in life, you
also failed in your own chosen religion! LoL!.
So let me educate you one last time, just like I did with Chicken
Duke, so you have no more lies left to hide behind, then you're
getting dumped in the trash just like he was.
> Questions.
> 1/Can something comes from NOTHING?
> I mean nothing.
Something comes from nothing all the time. Read about vacuum energy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_energy
If there was quite literally nothing here before this universe began,
then what was there to prevent quite literally anything from
happening? Answer: quite literally nothing. Your grade-school
attempt at tripping things up has failed as spectacularly as you have
at life itself.
> 2/Where is the missing link?
There is no missing link, and the very fact that you articulated such
a moronic question shows beyond any contestation that you're not only
one of the most ignorant and ineducable jackasses on Usenet, but also
that you're not even trying to educate yourself.
Instead, you're proud of your abysmal ignorance and wallow in it like
the pig that you are. Here's a list of transitional fossils:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-transitional.html
and even *one* transitional disproves a direct one-time creation ex-
hihilo.
> 3/Do you read critically or you just happen
> to believe anything you read?
No, we're not like you, and therein lies your problem. You're so
inescapably mired in your own profound ignorance and bigotry that
you're quite literally incapable of putting yourself in any position
other than the one to which you're welded like a male anglerfish.
> 4/Why do you believe that atheism is not a Faith?
It takes no faith. When you and your ilk RUN AWAY from every single
request that's ever been made of you that you actually support your
position, the vacuity of it is proven beyond contention.
> 5/ What makes you see Evolution as Science.
The overwhelming weight of the evidence for evolution versus
absolutely zero evidence for a god or for a creation.
> 6/ My right hand finger is evolving. Can you predict
> which specy will come out of it?
And now you know why you're given the finger with such regularity in
a.a.: you've proven beyond any reasonable doubt that you are
irremediably a moron. Thank you. I rest my case.
> 7/ Can Evolution stop Evolution?
We know that you are so thoroughly and wilfully ignorant of evolution
that it's quite impossible to correct your deficits. there's really
nbo need for you to keep on proving it to everyone on Usenet.
> 8/ Why did evolution fail to provide me with 5 dicks
> instead of one?
Biggest you're such a huge dick to begin with, any more would be
superfluous. And only someone as laughably ignorant and shamefully
self-important as you would imagine that one mammalian penis is the
norm.
> 9/Where is Darwin?
Buried in Westminster Abbey in London. Darwin started the long-
overdue flushing of religious shit about the distribution and
diversity of living things, but the massive bulk of scientific
evidence for it came after he died. He really isn't relevant to the
Theory of Evolution today, except as its acknowledged founder, and
only a complete moron would imagine that he is.
> 10/ Why do you think he has the last word in matter
> of Metaphysics?
No modern biologist thinks any such thing. Only a complete moron
would suggest that he does.
I rest my case. Now fuck off, asshole.
