Evolution in Progress

[RedAnarchist]

Rare orchids found growing on a spoil tip next to an old coal mine could represent "evolution in progress", according to experts.

The orchids, known as Young's Helleborine, or Epipactis Youngiana, only grow at 10 locations in the UK.

Experts believe they took root at Almond Bing, near Falkirk, almost as soon as the last miners left in the mid-1980s.

Only two sites in Scotland are known to support the rare flowers.

Each of the 10 areas of the UK on which the flower is found are former industrial sites.

Thoughts?

Don't we see bacteria evolve all the time.

Denying evolution at this point is literally closing your eyes...


Shouldn't this be in science anyway?

I put it in religion so the OI'ers could respond to it if they wanted to.

I have yet to see freakazoid respond.

It seems just as well because any links to "Dr. Dino" will drastically lower the average post quality for the board.

Oh, thats fair enough.

The only argument I ever hear is that that represents micro evolution, and macro evolution has no proof. But macro evolution is just the combination of a lot of micro evolution. Point is its all a bunch of nonsense.

I mean these fucking atheists are going to tell me how to become a christian.

They don't even believe in God.

They never read the bible.

Don't know nothing about the bible and they're going to tell me what a true christian is?

Ain't that fucking insane?

I'm trying to tell you I'm fucking crazy, I'm a fucking pervert, I'm a fucking sinner.
I'm retarded, ignorant, stupid.

But these fucking atheists are fucking insane (http://youtube.com/watch?v=WXX7rrZs9YY)!

So far you&#39;ve not provided an adequate reason why atheists like me are insane. Except your religious bigotry of course <_< .

That&#39;s because you don&#39;t have to read the bible to become a true christian. This is what you have to do--it&#39;s just one easy step. Follow me now:

Fuck yourself



Enjoy being banned, troll. :P

I was thinking the same thing myself. I wish he would, all of the &#39;arguments&#39; I&#39;ve seen from him are hilarious.

[Yardstick]

You havn&#39;t provided an adequate reason why being a true christian means you fuck yourself. <_<


With that said, my personal experience has shown that atheists generally are much better read in the Bible than many christians.
