This article details all the major misconceptions people have about the theory of evolution, in a rational, scientific tone.
It dispells myths such as "People evolved from monkeys"
I find it highly accurate, and it taught me a thing or two.
This shows that there is some obvious misinformation about evolution being spread by the ID/Creationist proponents.

That you posted this link indicates that you should not be posting about origins topics.
That you this thread 'taught you alot' further indicates you shouldn't post Re: origins theories.
Generally starting a thread means you know something about it. Obviously, you don't subscribe to this beleif.
Okay, Madness... this is your fourth bait thread.... still waiting for some enlightenment from you about how misinformed I must be to support the ID movement.
[sarcasm]Please... please... I don't think I can last in the science community much longer without your insight re: origins theories...... don't leave me hanging, man.[/sarcasm]
This link does nothing to refute ANYTHING from IDT... or even YECism for that matter. The author of this site has apparently read ZERO literature from an IDTist or YECist. Great choice!
My suggestion is that we discuss each of these 'facts' in some detail... I would suggest we start with most lame, ridiculous, and misrepresented example: the NaCl molecule... boy, what a frickin' joke that is. This person obviously understands less about CSI than you do.
though likely what will happen is 'madness' will turn tail and start a new thread.
This link is a joke and does nothing to 'prove' evolution over ID or any variety of creationism.
Your move

now, read it if you want,
mock me if you want to look immature
it isn't there to prove anything, it's simply there to dispell some misconceptions people have about evolution
discussion and debate aren't about making the other person look like they are wrong, it's about figuring the truth out. this is a supplement to the discussion.
i didn't even intend this to get more than a couple of responses, i wanted to inform the community
mattison, if you want to be confrontational, i may just be willing to be throw down in the debate forum.

Andy1033,
I don't think that ToE was invented by people in order to support racist views, I'm pretty sure that we have enough evidence to say with certanty that it did in fact occur..

Unfortunately thats just how it goes sometimes, people will take different advancements and use them for their nefarious ends. Don't blame the science blame the people.

At first maybe, I don't know. But now there is a lot scientifically going for it. All it says is how life spread and changed over time not how it came into being. Nor does it say that any form of life is any better then any other.

also, sunmatrix, this isn't about faith, it's about showing mountains of evidence

That's not a myth. Find us some/any (creationist or ID theorist) sources that claim, "people evolved from monkeys."

Where on the page does it say that specifically ID/creationist make that claim? It's just giving the number uno misconception of the theory of evolution.

read the site it's absolutely hilarious.

Furthermore, as Ian Taylor has pointed out, many of our alleged ancestors, including monkeys...
Human Descent
Modern molecular biology tells us that modern humans arose less than 100,000 years ago (confirmed by three independent techniques), and most likely, less than 50,000 years ago (37-46). This data ties in quite well with the fossil record. Sophisticated works of art first appear in the fossil record about 40,000-50,000 years ago (47) and evidence of religious expression appears only 25,000-50,000 years ago (48, 49). Such a recent origin date for modern humans precludes any possibility of any previous hominids being our ancestors, since Homo erectus died out 300,000 years ago, and Homo neandertalensis has been proven to be too genetically different from us to have been our ancestor (50). Where does this leave the evolutionists and their descent of man theory? Well, they can always fall back on their favorite line - "the fossil record is just incomplete." For more information read the paper, "Descent of Man Theory: Disproved by Molecular Biology."
