Considering the subject matter and the perspective of its author - this whole thread seems remarkably thin on actual science. It seems more like a promotion of the faith of Scientism by means of attacking its more traditional counterparts.
Funny I read these preachy science threads and seem more attracted to creationism than science.
It does seem remarkably thin on science and the op opening statement was nothing but TV evangelist preachy.
Is this what the science of evolution is now, point scoring on the internet between fan boys, anything but science in the real world.

When did I say I was a scientist?
When did I say I was going to post a hardcore academically motivated scientific piece?
Seems to me I was quite clear in all my statements that I am not a scientist myself, merely a former creationist and that if people want to learn about the actual work that goes on in the field they can contact the scientists themselves or look at actual scientific papers on Google Scholar.
I find it funny when people's ONLY objection is to psychoanalyze someone else and they don't actually say anything of substance... perhaps you missed the things of substance I brought up - Genetics, the fossil record, morphology, behavior, artificial selection, cross referenced dating techniques, etc.

a reply to: RaggedymanI think you've pretty much nailed it.
I've personally never felt any aggression by religious people trying to push their beliefs, but militant atheism seems almost impossible to avoid. Its methods of propagation seem to be primarily based around the attack of its designated enemies, rather than using the cold hard reason of science that they claim is the very basis of their enlightenment.

Creating threads like this gives undue attention to absurd creationist claims which on merit do not deserve even a canned a laughter track devoted to them.

It is Creation which allows for any evolution to take place...
Let's see nothing evolve into anything...
that would not even be evolution, that would be creation...
evolution as a start of things is therefore laughable...
Figure it out...
Evolution isn't and has never been about where everything came from. So making that kind of argument is what is laughable. Evolution is about how living things change over time. Cosmology is about the beginning of the Universe.
‘I’ll show you how great I am, how holy I am. I’ll make myself known all over the world. Then you’ll realize that I am God.’”

So how does anything evolve from nothing?
If nothing in the universe is eternal or perpetual and all things in the universe have an origin and end then you need creation...
I don't care what name it has something else was needed to kickstart it that is creation...
if evolution was the deciding factor and not creation allowing for it well then your corn could evolve into an ape and then a man I suppose...

Who created God or did he come from nothing? Would love to hear a simple answer. So you agree with evolution but your struggling to differentiate between creationism (created) and evolution (process).????

So if I was to say all evolutionists are retarded would that be a scientific statement?

So, not trying to find out what is the mechanisms BEHIND evolution is a waste of time and yet knowing how evolution might work at some point 700 years from now isn't ?
The divide is only growing larger.
I am telling you right now, there is a growing EVOLVING GROUP lets say lol, that does not see ANY relevance or interest in the ways science is going about plodding around like a blind drunk in regards to everything.
And this group knows that things are ALOT more complex than what is being theorized by so-called modern science.
All of the answers are there to be had, and your science will not near any of them, unless by accident, because they are controlled and prodded to look the other way oh so many times.
AND NO, we in this group DO NOT believe in the BIBLE or any other dam religions revisions and histories.
It is too bad, that those who believe in evolution as being even remotely interesting or beneficial, in the ways stated, will never see what comes next, they actually LACK the so-called GENES to do so, at least right now they do !

Funny how you can find the Fibonacci sequence in most everything in the universe, that includes man made things...
Like computer code...
