Horse shit, I could do the same thing. It's a cop-out like the rest of your posts. You don't answer the question because you can't. And learn what a straw man is before using the term incorrectly. They are valid questions which you can't answer. All you are doing is making an argument by...

Are these statistics about illegals from Mexico or Immigrants in general?

Why don't you post the relevant parts instead of directing me to some undoubtedly vast work? Am I to assume you can't answer the question? Actually, you have inspired me to look at the issue a bit deeper and I must say, the ID guys do raise some good points. I know it is easy to dismiss...

No, nature would have to produce a series of highly precise changes to produce evolution. Not enough change would cause nothing and too much would simply cause extinction. Relative to the radical changes that take place, this would be like threading a needle thousands of times. It would require...

Are you some kind of troll or something? Do you understand it is a neurological disability that disturbs one's ability to read and or write? It has nothing to do with intelligence. Do you also make fun of the blind or deaf for their disabilities? Really, judging from your own inability to use...

I'm guessing you had computers when you went to school? I had to write out all my assignments by hand and use a library card catalog to find books in order to look stuff up. No word processors with spell check and no internet. And no understanding teachers. If our work was sloppy or...

Dude, at least they had an excuse to be in the bottom set. WTF was your excuse? And they probably were clever, most have IQs considerably above average and a lot can't pay attention because the class moves too slow for them. Einstein was dyslexic.

An immunity to HIV would certainly be beneficial although I'm not sure how this would cause much of a change to the population were the HIV resistant people the only ones to survive. Did you read your own source material? Do you know how many harmful mutations occur for every beneficial one...

While I've never heard of "partial dyslexia" people can suffer from varying degrees dyslexia which certainly is a real disability that is well known and definitely diagnosable. It is a problem with a bundle of nerves in the brain called the corpus collosum that is responsible for routing...

I quoted the question so you can re-read it. I'm looking for a specific known beneficial chromosomal mutation. Your post doesn't answer the question. What it does seem to do however, is demonstrate how easy it is for harmful mutations to make a population less fit as with your slower lizards...

Actually, if we are talking human rights, it's safe to say that allowing any Islamic theocracy to exist is immoral. By their very definition they are essentially one big human rights violation. Honor killings, women as second class citizens, zero freedom of religion or expression, state...

Can anyone give a single fully understood and fully explained example of a situation in which a beneficial mutation in a higher life form caused it to be more fit for its environment? Surely, if there are millions of these mutations it should be easy to point out a few that are fully...

More proof of your burning desire to prove your own beliefs. But why would you post that? I already know we are primates and related to chimps. I can look at a chimp and see we are biologically similar without looking at DNA. Again, you are debating claims I never made. Why don't you just...

This is a monumentally stupid question. Have you ever heard anyone discuss why God wouldn't make his existence obvious to us? Little secret - it's the same question. How about I just toss something out there to consider just for fun. I don't know maybe your evidence is found in the...

I raised two issues. One is that there is a great deal we can not explain about the evolution of humans. This is an ancillary issue and a matter of curiosity. I brought it up as food for thought. Nowhere did I attempt to argue that there is no evidence or that humans didn't evolve. I made...

Yes, you can take a clone from a plant just before harvest and it will eventually root and revert to veg - just wait it out.

I generally avoid this issue because it is very complex and I don't know all the facts. I think one would pretty much need to specialize in this area to really have an informed opinion. The obvious question that comes to my mind is exactly what jobs these illegals are filling while we discuss...

You know what is particularly telling about this thread? It is that nobody made any effort at all to address the points I raised in the OP. Oh, people tried to change the subject and raise straw man arguments and all the typical old saws. But, nobody even came close to addressing what...

I'm glad to see you have decided to be reasonable. However, you are still trying to prove your point via red herring. I'm going to state yet again (as I have done numerous times) that I am not disputing evolution. I do take issue with the conjecture from anthropologists like that above which...

I have heard reams of stuff like that. Now, let me point something out neither of you know about the actual science of evolution which I have studied on a molecular level. Many pseudo-scientists such as anthropologists like to create these possible explanations in which a population would...
