Oh pshaw!!!


"Why evolution is true (Wacko's link)"

If you didn't want to watch it, you could have taken 14 seconds to look up Dr Coyne in Google before you launch into name calling and ranting. Are you not aware that you only make yourself look petulant and deranged when you do things like that?

For God's sakes, you claim to have a brain. You claim to be superior to Newton in the clarity and purity of your scientific dogma. Do you think that Newton wouldn't have Googled before he ranted? I think Newton would have Googled and NOT ranted and called me names.


I think Newton would have said. "Thank you kindly Mr. Sailor for pointing out this excellent informative and humouresque video from the most excellent Doctor Coyne!"


Dr. Coyne wrote a book called "Why Evolution is true" the same time that Dawkins wrote "Greatest Show on Earth." Coyne is a bit less of an apologist for evolutionism than Dawkins. And the evidence he shows on the video is compelling and clear. It might even be clear to pete. Though it must be said that though Coyne is not near the condescending arse that Dawkins is he is a bit of an arse. Is it too much to ask that someone, anyone would produce such a video without being deliberately rude to those that they say that they want to convince?   Much of the evidence presented by Dr. Coyne is new to me at least and Dawkins asked Coyne to make the talk be about undermining Creationism. He does that very well. At the end he comes up with a far more constructive and compelling way for dealing with backward religious folk than any argument I have seen on this forum. He partly credits Theologian and social scientist, Dr. Gregg Paul for that.
