    Then you did you respond in a post... obviously you don't get heard or nobody listens to you.

    This is your avenue to be and get a response... I am sorry for your situation, but... if you post, please be on topic please

    Okay...

    I will play your game... how is evolution real? It is a religion that was brought up to defy RELIGION!!! If I am wrong then prove it... there has to be some scientific evidence to show evolution is a real thing...

    If... IF you believe the preachers that told you it was...

    So you don't believe in evolution... because believing in it is saying ants can do as you posted...

    Ridiculous isn't it...

    Far enough...

    I feel religion is as the dictionary states, but someone tells you that that crap is real.

    I know everything about evolution...

    Faith is where you blindly believe stupid crap without looking it up - you just believe in some idiot telling you something that might not be true...

    Got it?

    Do you believe in evolution? You have no clue what it is and you believe in it because someone told you to...

    Sheep...

    If my question was not on topic then it's apparent you are doing your evasive best to try to still appear as though you got it together.
    I see no sign of that, but by now I am no longer surprised.

    That isn't how it works. You've made a definitive assertion, it is on you to back that assertion up. I don't even need to "believe evolution is real" to question your claim that it is a religion. After all, I recognise lots of religions without believing in the elements they're based on. All you need to do is provide the definition of religion you're using and establish that evolution meets it. If you're so certain of your claim, that should be very straight forwards. :)

    You already have your hands full around here so ok by me if you want to be a coward.
    I just think your biggest problem is your ego. It has you operating in a protective bubble.

    Please, does anyone know WHY that I do not believe in your faith of evolution? Why the science isn't there and why it is a religion?

    ANYONE?!?!?

    Because this is like talking to a group of eight (8) year old hippie kids that just repeat what their parents said!!! Which is a big point of my argument...

    There was nothing vague about my post

    What part of "Evolution is small changes to human DNA over time (mutations if you want the technically correct term) do you not understand ?

    Do you not believe that there is such a thing as mutations?

    That's not evolution. Evolution is the adaptation of a species to best suit it's environment. It would make sense if we all looked like, for example, Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie mixed with the brain of Nikola Tesla. My question is, "why hasn't that happened over the several millions of years we've been on earth"? Whole species of humans and animals have died out in less time. I don't understand that. I guess we are all perfect enough just the way we are? We all have a purpose? I wonder if it has more to do with technology than genetic mutation. The thing is, we still haven't progressed to where we know how the Romans, Egyptians, Greeks, Mayans or Incas and others have been able to build things with the accuracy they have. How is that possible if it's all evolution? I don't get it at all.

    What DBM is trying to say is "give me another 60 posts of mine while I gear up and get ready to answer all you people's questions..... In the meantime, please stay on topic."

    Look...

    Get everyone you know to combat me... but, please, not about sidebar crap like my grammar, I misspelled a word, or anything that doesn't deal with the subject.

    We are at page five (5) and not ONE of you had said anything about EVOLUTION!!!!

    Not a one... five pages of diarrhea of the finger... trying to look smart when you are a drop out...

    Sad...

    Uep...

    Another post of someone not dealing with the subject and just talking crap...

    Nothing about evolution... nothing... just a bunch of dog crap...

    I deal with intelligence on people who can discuss things ON TOPIC and not bring up how many grasshoppers they saw in their uaed last uear...

    IF YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE SUBJECT- DON'T POST... It just makes you look... well, looking like you never graduated high school or if you did, you bus was short and picked you up from you house as your mother escorted you...

    Is there any INTELLIGENT people who would like to discuss Evolution as a religion?

    No, almost everything beyond the interaction between large objects we know because there are people who study that stuff in a rigorous manner.

    Most people don't know how their toilet works. It's just not their job.

    It's preposterous to call humans "sheep" for not knowing how things in our environment actually work.

    We have a process for exploring the universe, called science.

    We need to learn how to incorporate the understanding of experts.

    Otherwise, we're doomed to ignorance, as there is NO POSSIBILITY of each of us doing the work required to watch at the cellular level how evolution happens, become experts in the anatomy of life forms across the centuries, etc., etc.

    Wait...

    I don't... kick me off... how do you say you are ridiculous, when you are being ridiculous?!?!?

    I think what is why I do not have an intelligent conversation... I had several with scientific analysis and great discussions to where they ended because the thread got to large on every situation...

    Now...

    I have this to deal with... rules...

    Sad...

    Why it is sad, if someone you know said the sky was brown, you would say they were retarded or just stupid... but, we can't say things that we say in everyday conversations...

    I say this because I have been warned about my language... whatever... I just wanted to bring another installment in the longest and largest threads on this website...

    Religion is the belief in deities, with a doctrine of salvation, code of conduct, sacred stories and rituals.

    Evolution is not religion.

    I seriously doubt it, since you're not that smart, as your subsequent post proves.

    The mere fact that you posed the question proves you don't understand the most basic theory of evolution. Every organism evolves to survive in its unique environment. Evolution is not some kind of stepping-stone or ladder, where species progress to higher levels.

    And contrary to your beliefs, bacteria can and do still evolve, as evidenced by bacteria that are resistant to anti-biotics.

    Here's an instance where bacteria recently evolved in the laboratory:

    When the scientists put the hyperswarmers under a microscope, they could see what had changed. An ordinary P. aeruginosa sports a single tail. The hyperswarmers had evolved so that they had as many as half a dozen tails. Those extra tails gave the bacteria more speed.

    To determine how the bacteria had gained their tails, Dr. Xavier and his colleagues sequenced the DNA of 24 lines of hyperswarmers. In 24 out of 24 cases, they discovered that they have gained a mutation in the same gene, called FleN.

    A religion requires the supernatural and evolution doesn't have this.
