So now....first you assign a label....and then you pretend everyone else knows what a TRUE one is? Compared to....someone like me who isn't a liberal at all?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '

Never worked for a news organization...I told you before...I do science. Analysis. Research. However you'd like to characterize it.

You may have never met one of what I am before. Your posting over the years indicates not much more than repeating what others have said, and when they are wrong, you are wrong, and then forgetting to think before doing it all over again.

You understand you aren't REQUIRED to make the average Missourian look like such a backwater fool, right?

They've been doing it all the decades you've been saying it. Ain't that AMAZING! Proving Armie wrong for decades now. Now THAT is a conspiracy! They probably kept the world afloat just to spite you. As opposed to you just being a fool all these years...I mean really? Buying high priced gold like all those other suckers?

Wake me up when you find a transitional fossil showing a species changing kinds. Here’s a hint.. there aren’t any and there will never be. Why? Because no species has ever changed kinds….ever

lol @ evolution. Only brainwashed dopes believe that fairy tale. Didn’t DNA convince you?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'Y')ep, it coming. If they didn’t lie about inflation, GDP would have been -5% for years. They wont be able to keep this charade going on much longer.


I can't believe everyone quotes the GDP as though it means anything, even alternate analysts talk about it. It's all just a measure of money shuffling now, Bank loans, insurance payments, student loans. In other words Gross Domestic Drains on society.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')tudent loans amount to 6.6% of total GDP

So some brainDead kid borrows $100k to get a degree in African American studies and can't get a job, yeah, a real boost to the national economy :roll: Some cornucopian will cite the fact that the loan is used to pay wages (a drain on the economy) and fund some new upstart college (a drain on society) but at the end of the day nothing is created but a bunch of bullshit jobs and campuses that will end up like those abandoned shopping malls in the years to come. Selling education to overseas students brings in wealth, sure, but it's pissed up against the wall on salaries for Fatcats and useless professors. There are too many professors and not enough Gilligans.

I saw it all begin in the 1980's with "Bank Products" being advertised. I thought "What? Banks don't sell stuff, they just take deposits and make loans" But that was the beginning of the coverup for a collapsing real economy, though I didn't know it at the time.

If you want to see an argument, go to a Evolutionist's conference, they can't agree on anything.
To the public though they talk about "overwhelming scientific evidence". Reminds me of the overwhelming scientific evidence that covid vaccines were safe and effective. I've had a few vaccines in my life, but I never had to go back and back and back for boosters, never seen one with such horrendous side effects either. But that's the Pharmaceutical industry for you, they don't have a Hippocratic Oath, they have a Hypocritical Oath.

Define "kinds". Regardless, a 10 year old can use AI nowadays. And interesting that whales are certainly on the list. Let me guess, the church didn't teach you that whales themselves would make a Top 3 list?

You'll notice that nowhere does it say something so ignorant as "evolution can't happen because WHALES BE SO BIG! Did the church feed you that stupid crap, or did you just add that on your own for color? You shouldn't freelance in terms of things Armie, hell, you can't even define "collapse" yet pretend to know what it is. Looks like your understanding of the fossil record is just as incompetent.


Transitional fossils are remnants of organisms with traits that are intermediate between an ancestral form and its descendants, providing key evidence for evolution. Examples include Archaeopteryx, which bridges the gap between dinosaurs and birds, and Tiktaalik, a fish with limbs that could move on land. These fossils demonstrate the gradual changes in species over vast periods, revealing patterns of life's development and the interconnectedness of different life forms.

What They Are
Intermediate Forms:
.
Transitional fossils show characteristics found in both an older, ancestral form and a newer, more recently evolved species.
Evidence for Evolution:
.
They provide insights into how species have changed over time, illustrating evolutionary pathways from one form to another.
Examples
Archaeopteryx:
.
This famous fossil exhibits both dinosaur-like traits (such as teeth and a bony tail) and bird-like features (like feathers and a wishbone), connecting non-avian dinosaurs and birds.
Tiktaalik:
.
Found in rocks about 375 million years old, Tiktaalik has a fish-like body but possesses fins with skeletal structures like the bones in a tetrapod (four-limbed animal) limb, representing a transition from fish to land-dwelling creatures.
Whale Ancestors:
.
Fossils like Pakicetus and Aetiocetus show the transition of early land-dwelling mammals to aquatic whales, with changes in features like nostril position.

I remember reading of Darwin, he believed in God, just let his hubris get in the way of the creation account. The Theory he proposed was to be proved by the transition fossils, that in all the centuries following, and having dug up half the Earth, still haven't materialized. As far as theories goes it's a total failure but the humanists cling to it because they like to think of themselves as God.

It’s easier for them to believe in their tooth fairy evolution theory than to believe in a creator and have accountability for their actions.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'N')onsense. The fossil record shows complete species and always will.

You used the words "transitional fossils". And I provided both the definition and examples demonstrating that apparently you didn't even know the meaning of the word. Why is that not a surprise from someone who can't define "collapse" even with the internet at their disposal?

Do you have a problem with the definition of "transitional fossils" from a theological point of view? Then go find the idiot pastor in the backwoods church that sold you an idea that apparently neither they, nor you, understand.

Just another notch in the "need to understand your words" before making about everything you say suspect from sheer ignorance. You don't really want to be in the same boat as the Parrot who can't read graphs and even more amusingly...wait for it....CAN'T PICK HIS OILS FROM A LIST!!!.

If you would prefer to list other transitional fossils, then by all means, please do so. I dare you to engage in a conversation involving some thinking...I DARE you. :)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '
')The millions and millions of fossils showing species changing kinds is missing. You are duped.


The entire church that sold you that horseshit "transitional fossil" line that you didn't understand did the duping. I imagine you've used that line for decades...and the first time someone looks it up to find out...presto....the ability to think matters, the ability to say stupid stuff I'll leave to those who...wait for it....DON'T EVEN KNOW THE DEFINITIONS OF THE WORDS AND CONCEPTS THEY USE.

As far as "duped"....sure, this guy online once told me the American draft would happen by 2006...and I believed him! And then this same person says buy gold low, and it will increase in value, and we find out....the person bought expensive gold! And this person drives MAN trucks! Why? Because they are so afraid of their driving abilities they need a safety cage wrapped around them twice as big as normal cagers do!

You are a riot Armie. What is that definition of collapse again? Oh right...so sorry..Armie can't....it requires UNDERSTANDING WORDS.

It is easier for me to believe the definition of "transitional fossils" than words from someone who...wait for it...CAN'T EVEN DEFINE COLLAPSE.

A basic part of the doing and publishing of science is defining ones terms (couldn't STAND writing out those pages for a paper). There is a reason why it needs done though. Because otherwise some halfwit might misinterprete the words/phrases/terms in the paper.

Sort of like...people who go to religious school to debunk science and come away with the horseshit that was fed to them and they never thought about. Until they use these idiot terms in front of someone who goes and looks them up. And then laughs hysterically at the value of their religious teachings.

You aren't in this book are you Armie?

We have millions of fossils of complete species, but not one showing a species changing kinds in their intermediate stage. lol, what’s next, the tooth fairy theory?

Also, DNA is way too complex to have happened by chance. Your odds are betting blowing up a library and having complete sets of encyclopedias falling down from the explosion.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'W')e have millions of fossils of complete species, but not one showing a species changing kinds in their intermediate stage.

I asked you before, define "kinds". I presumed you meant genus. Now that we know you don't even know what "collapse" is, or "transitional fossil", you had better be able to explain "kinds" because otherwise I have to presume genus.

Not that you understand any of the nuance here, I believe you should find whomever made you so uninformed on arguments against evolution based on "because whales...they be big!" and slap them for suckering you, and then slap yourself for not thinking for yourself.

The transitional fossils angle is done, as the information presented shows. Some of those fossils most certainly showed intermediate stages if you had even perused the pictures and documents provided.

So...what are you going on about now? You saying WORDS that are nothing but claiming "nana nana nana!" with your fingers in your ears is not an argument, a debate, a discussion, or anything except you being repetitive because..wait for it....YOU CAN'T DISPUTE FOR A SECOND THE INFORMATION PROVIDED,

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', ' ')lol, what’s next, the tooth fairy theory?

No need. Already provided the information related to the transitional fossils, and their names. Look them up. Or not, and remain ignorant. I'm guessing you will stick with the latter. So what do you want to talk about next?

How about the American draft you thought would happen by 2006? You think maybe it's just been delayed by a couple decades, and is still right around the corner?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '
')Also, DNA is way too complex to have happened by chance.

You know no more about DNA than you do any probability calculation to even define what level of CHANCE might have created it.

Stick to being a CAGER in a TRUCK and try not to get into a debate with an 8 year old to be safe, it would just be...embarassing.

I studied Biology up to the the university level. A fascinating subject, but the deeper you go the more questions were raised and always a Brick wall at every end. The natural sciences really should have been divided into different sets, and Biology thrown in with botany and zoology. Underpinning it with Evolution simply put blinders on it, no true science is limited by one unquestioned "Truth" In the final analysis Evolution is a Religion, it's god a set of dice.

They have been scratching around on Mars for decades now, their stated aim, always to find traces of life. They haven't found a single one and they no doubt never will. It'll likely all be over soon anyway.

Interesting. Previously you have claimed to not have made it out of high school. And certainly your parroting tendencies would seem to verify that.

Now we studied some biology at university level! Did you go to one specializing in training primates rather than people perhaps?

By "they" you mean Americans. Because so far all your countrymen have been able to do it launch a jar of vegemite 50' off the ground for 14 seconds. Americans have put working cars and helicopters on Mars. Australia can't manufacture their own cars or helicopters, let alone get either off the ground or out of the atmosphere onto another planet, and have them roam around and fly and take pictures of stuff.

Americans did that.

Back at what you do Lucky...service the King's "biology" and enjoy serving on your knees because you lack the balls, brains and willpower to do what Americans did centuries ago.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Newfie', '

Within which might lay...opportunity! I remember the end of the world being claimed 2008, first with oil price skyrocketing and peak oil happening (snicker snicker boy were THOSE folks silly!) and chaos was imminient!

But for every chaos on the horizon, have any NOT been followed by BAU?

I think chaos and BAU are consequences of the internet running into silly folk who just naturally see doom around every corner and under every couch cushion.

Certainly the likes of Armie and UnLucky fit that mold, but they really are the majority opinion over the years. Forget the peak oil nonsense that few if any had any clue about, the doomer parrots and chicken littles defined this place.

TOD tried to keep it at bay and play "thoughtful" but that didn't work either.

The hysterical parrots and chicken littles were a bunch more fun to participate with.
