It's not when people like DILV are included in our evolutionary tree

REPLY: Yes...there are many species of Fish arent there ? Before
we even consider the subject of blind, random, accidental macro-
evolution...can you show us how first life on earth arose
spontaneously (10^40,000 chance) when Spontaneous Generation was
disproven in the last century ?

Yes. Any many species of flying fish. Evolution is wonderful, isn't it?

Making incorrect assertions doesn't help your case.

Another unsupported assertion. The factual nature of evolution
doesn't depend on me, you or anyone else knowing how life first
arose - you are back to your argument from ignorance again.

Oh dear, that is just a bare faced creationist lie.

No, it's a creationist misunderstanding. In the past when you found mice in
grain it was assumed mice were spontaneously generated by grain. This was
shown to be false by science. This kind of spontaneous generation is that
kind that would exist if god could bring things into existence - yet science
proved it didn't happen.

Steve - I think that, institutionally, creationists know precisely
what they mean. I'm sure that the sky fairy footsoldiers, like Dave
and Pahu, possibly don't understand until it is pointed out to them
here.
Of course, once their error has been pointed out and they repeat it,
then it does become a bare faced lie.

Lying for Jesus seems to be an accepted part of their duties! The
curious part is that they are so dim that they think others will be
convinced by their lies.
Their performance here would suggest that they need urgent psychiatric help.

That's the sociopathic part.
Lying to further their religion has been almost a sacrament since the
earliest days of the church.
They don't even think it makes them liars.
But they're too stupid to understand that all we see is the lie,
whatever their excuse is.
And they're too sociopathic to realise either.
So they imagine we say it to insult them, and take offence.
Confirming just how out of touch with reality they are.
>Their performance here would suggest that they need urgent psychiatric help.
Yep.

No it didn't. The type of nonsense in which you there indulge results from
too much thinking in religious terms of black and white, good and evil, true
and false. It is also supremely wishful thinking.
Derren Brown might be able to stop his pulse by praying to God, or by will
power, or he might be wearing a band round his upper arm in similar fashion
to having his blood pressure tested.
You and I think that #3 is the most likely explanation, and it would
certainly work, and is in accordance with all the evidence, but it still
doesn't prove it.
