it seems that the Science Council in Turkey are not comfortable with the Koran standing up to comparitive analysis, why else would they ban Darwin?

The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) has put a stop to the publication and sale of all books in its archives that support the theory of evolution, daily Radikal has reported.


Titles by Richard Dawkins, Alan Moorehead, Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Levontin and James Watson are all included in the list of books that will no longer be available to Turkish readers.

It’s a pretty stupid theory anyway so for that alone I would ban it too! :lol:

CBBB, you and all the other members in here is enough evidence for me to debunk the theory of evolution! :lol:

Ok, so which one of you evolutionists is seriously saying that he or she is the culmination of 15,000 (odd) years of human existence? :lol:

Dudes, if I put you all in a blender I’ll end up with fucking grasshopper juice!

:lol: :lol: :lol:






And one for the road... :lol:

GR's REALISTIC definition of Evolution:

It’s a theory of such extremely slow development (in fact unquantifiable) that nobody can possibly be around long enough to witness it!

Not even the 15,000 (odd) year existence of man has experienced anything that could possibly be described as “evolving”!

In fact, the presumed theory is so slow that it cannot possibly be quantified with respect to time that everything else is!

For example we often hear things like:

“It took monkeys 10 billion years to stand on their two feet!”

Right! Well if it took a monkey that long to stand then during those 10 billion years when he couldn’t stand there was NO evolution because the monkey was NOT standing and he had NOT accomplished anything that could be described as progress!

And one day, all of a sudden one of them stands and you claim that they had to think about it for 10 billion years to do it?

Shouldn’t “development” be bound by time if it is to be quantified and evaluated?

I mean, if it takes a creature 10 gazillion years to take a step forward is that a creature evolving or just a fucking stupid creature?

I say it’s the latter! :lol:

Human Kind is lots older than 15000 years - probably over 200,000 years.and yes evolution is slow.

Brrrr... well yes that last sentence prob does apply to people from Paphos but you try telling all that to things like viruses and bacteria replicating so quickly they are able to evolve resistances to over-come made-made antibiotics in a short time.

I’m talking about “modern man” as we know him, not the morlocks in Darwin’s fantasies!

Who says that their ability to overcome resistance wasn’t built into them from the start?

Viruses are not evolving, they are just using their survival mechanisms like you and me!

NB: I hope you don't get "evolve" and "morph" confused here.
