All I know is the moon is made of cheese.
I don't remember any of that but I like the story.
Could you please find me the "demonstratable evidence" from that?
Ooooh! A militant atheist! I hope you don't smear our good program's name by wearing a UK jersey at your Soros backed marches and protests...
Signed, A Theistic Evolutionist
A Bible school. That explains everything and it all makes sense now.
To flat earthers, all pictures showing a globe earth are photoshopped by NASA for some reason. Still not sure what the actual conspiracy is.
The sun is actually really small and moves in a circular path above the flat earth. Rather than being a raging ball of plasma, think of it more like a flashlight.
I can't remember the nonsense about why we don't go to the edge of the flat earth, but it's pretty in line with the other stuff.
And there's a dome covering the flat earth, kind of like a snow globe.
Have you guys not seen the Truman Show. That's legit. We all live in one giant Truman Show like set.
Good point. I wonder if this has something to do with Duke being so good at flopping.
Exactly....and that fact rebuffs the notion that there are military bases inside the moon. Those military bases do indeed exist, but they are located deep inside Uranus....
This thread is good for a few laughs. There are some things in this world that can't be debated yet people try still . The earth is not flat , evolution is the process by which organisms evolve over time ect. This isn't debatable . Now if you want to debate what truly set these things into motion and the existance of a higher being/beings that is another story but it blows my mind how dumb some people can be . Truly this is a microcosim of why the world is in the state it is in. That's all I will add. Levi earlier summed it up pretty well. You don't need a lick of intelligence to post on the internet .
Evolution is among the most well-supported and tested explanations science has ever had.
Not macro-evolution, there are six types of evolution, all are proven except macro-evolution.
That is not true. Macroevolution is simply the effects of the lower tiers accumulated.
Here is a concept called a ring species, in which a species evolves in a ring pattern (i.e. around a mountain or some other obstacle) and the intermediate species can interbreed. However, the two species at the "ends" of the ring cannot.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_species
Yeap, being an old chemistry major I firmly believe in the rough dates we have for the earth/solar system and the universe.
As to the flat earth we all watch our basketball and football games and movies and news on cable or satellite TV all the time. If those satellites were not orbiting a round earth the technology would not work. Even in our cars Sirius Radio uses satellites that move around a round earth.
I really struggle with people who LIE about scientific facts that directly impact their lives. They rail against evolution, yet are more than ready to go to the doctor when they are sick to take advantage of biology. Then selectively lie about evolution that true biology supports and on which it depends. You can’t be a biologist and not believe in evolution as all facts point to it.
Maybe a good political discussion would restore your confidence in humanity?[winking]
I struggle to say it's lying, though there is a certain amount of intellectual dishonesty involved in these contrarian ideas. I think it's more a reluctance or failure to understand the premises for all the science. The better we can describe biological systems, physical and chemical processes, the better we can harness the world around us. There isn't some deep conspiracy to undermine a belief system.
But the "acquiring signal" message that you get on your Sirius radio is happening because the satellite is passing over one of the edges of the earth.
There is no such thing as a ring species, there are no known cases. The last one attempted to be (Phylloscopus trochiloides) used as and example was debunked.
Flat earthers are like global warming believers. Not very bright people for the most part.
And there it is. The words "bible school" instantly explains your thought process here, as bible schools are our only institutions pushing this line of propaganda, because they can't deal with the fact that science proves that the book that underlies their school's existence can't be taken literally.
Do you also believe all those dinosaur bones we find were never part of actual dinosaurs, that there was a boat containing a pair of every species on Earth, and similar such whack a doodlery pushed by bible schools today?

Kyrie Irving is a moron.
He has a lot in common with multiple posters in this thread.

Here's a good website with easy to read, evidences for evolution.

If that's too tl;dr for you (although I would suggest reading some of it if you're truly intellectually curious about the topic), here's a short video from biologist Ken Miller. FYI, he's also a Christian.
More like idolator!
I'm not sure why some people don't believe we've got monkey genes in us.
We're so alike that we even throw **** at each other,
Did you watch or read anything that I linked? I've read and have seen many Kent Hovind lectures. I actually attended a Christian school where Kent came to speak to us. I was a Young Earth creationist growing up.
Kent Hovind holds degrees from unrecognized universities in Religious/Christian Education. He believes the US government was behind 9/11 and the OKC bombing. He's also a believer that the government is actively withholding a cancer, HIV and alzheimer's cure from us (apparently, it's a compound that produces cyanide). He also served a lengthy sentence for "failing to pay taxes, obstructing federal agents and structuring cash transactions".
Ken Miller obtained a bachelor's degree from Brown University in Science. He went on further to receive his Doctorate from the University of Colorado Boulder in biology. He taught at Harvard and is now a research biologist, as well as a professor of biology at Brown University.
If we're looking for an informed authority on these issues, who seems more likely to hold the more educated opinion? Which brings me back to my original question, did you even read, or watch, the links I provided?

You are using an ad hominem argument here. No, I didn't read or watch what you posted, you know as good as I do that neither one of us is going to change our position on this subject, there is nothing the links could contain that would change my opinion. Just as there is nothing I could link that would change your mind. Every argument for evolution can be disputed, every argument for creation can be disputed, so we could go around and around all day.
Methodists are pro-temperance. John Wesley was, and the church has been for at least 100+ years. Thomas Welch created the Welch's company to give Methodists a way to receive the Eucharist without drinking alcohol. This is especially true for broad and low church Methodists
