The problem is that they don't even understand that they are being made fools of.
Can you end a sentence with a preposition?
There are numerous myths relating to grammatical dos and don’ts, many of which were drummed into us at school. The one that stubbornly refuses to budge from my mind is the diktat ‘never start a sentence with a conjunction such as and or but’. Another one is that one cannot end a sentence with a preposition. Let’s try to zap the one – sometimes referred to as stranded prepositions – and lay it to rest once and for all.

Why do "evolution" threads keep getting posted in the "Origins & Creationism" forum? These are supposed to be completely unrelated topics.
Oh wait, I know...

Becsuse modern evolutionary synthesis falls under the umbrella of 'origins'.
Is that the best you can do? Pick at the way someone writes a sentence?

So origins is part of evolutionary theory, or the other way around? Unless this was meant to be a joke that went over my head (no pun intended) I'm not sure I know what is meant by "umbrella of origins"
Perhaps Noinden should offer his thoughts on this.

Origin of SPECIES, not life itself.
And completely OT, but Tzar, I love the new avatar.

They say a thousand years is a day in Gods eyes. Or roughly like that. That explains evolution.

You're wrong, again. But hey, don't let that stop you posting more things that are wrong.
Oh, for your viewing pleasure about oxforddictionaries.com
