AntiNormal

Thanks for your replies guys, but I was actually looking for a comprehensive listing of examples... sort of a visual tree of life with real pictures as to make it clear to anti-evolution minds. by the way, that amphibious fish thing .... It totally fvcking pwns in the arena of evolution. How the hell can anyone, when they see that, not realize that evolution happens??? It looks like a fish AND a frog... a clear ancestor type of both... *rolls eyes*

Hey I was arguing with someone about evolution, specifically transitional forms, and I tried to google some images of living animals that display a fair amount of transitional traits, like with the Okapi or Tasmanian Tiger and whatever else. I know that everything alive is the current transition of something that could be different thousands of years from now... but I just figured that by now it would be easy to find a website that listed real photographs of living animals that display the best possible evolutionary path of life. Yes I know a lot of species in between have become extinct and the two sides even more evolved and fine tuned... but still, there has to be something that can clearly show this process for people who still don't get it thanks

you're right iNow. Maybe I'll try again sometime later. I am just so mad with them because I was unfairly banned. They block out the stronger minded people who would offer really good differing points about what they believe to create a completely biased environment where the unaware people will walk right into their worldview trap. Makes me so mad. anyway, thanks for listening to me. At least I am not censored here. later

While I agree with you, I want to tell you that I used to be one of those people with a mindset like that. But after a while the better side of me started chipping away and now I am not brainwashed. So I do have a few things left to say there but I am blocked. So I am wondering if someone could make an account for me, that way my ip does not show up as the same one I have here because you will be in a different geographical location. Just make a user name that sounds neutral and for worldview choose agnostic. Make the password like 123456 or whatever. If one of you can do this and then pm me, I can get back in there and make a few more posts that I already have written. I know I have some good points that people with a good mind will get something out of. We have to fight for truth, or at least against mass ignorance.

Regarding Eugenics: I hate that when you bring this type of stuff up people immediately bring up Hitler, so eugenics must be evil.... Hitler also painted, so that must be evil as well? sorry I just wanted to vent. I saw someone mention this on a creationist forum I was recently banned from for having too much evolutionary evidence

hahaha thanks that gave me a great laugh!

omfg I got banned. That's gotta be the quickest I've ever been banned from a forum. Hell, I've only been banned one other time about 13 years ago on the [H]ard forum for something stupid. And this was a Christian site!!!! I wasn't even there for a whole week. I presented tons of points that supported and explained evolution in what I feel is my own unique and convincing way. Then I was immediately targeted by the mods for termination. WTF I mean, I know these people are hard headed and asinine to a degree, but this is a new level .... jesus.

wow actually I've already found myself in an "explain myself or get banned" situation. Apparently my arguments are too good and they are getting pissed at me.... Plus I just found this: http://www.evolutionfairytale.com/guestbook_data/evobabble_alert_page.htm on their site which are things used for spotting "evolution-babblers. Can you believe it?!?!?!?! They create rules designed to weed out the people who would actually bring meaningful discussion to the table.... im so pissed off right now.

hahaha tell me about it... I've only been on their forum for 4 days and I already want to put a gun in my mouth

thanks a lot iNow. Yes, miss-framed is the proper term I guess. It seems obvious now when I read your reply, and I pretty much already figured as much, but I was just under the impression that there is also ancient and inactive information deep within our genes -- but then again, I dont know very much about genes yet. Thanks for the link. I am reading them over right now.

Hey! This is my first and hopefully not last post in these forums. I am currently trying to engage in sort of an online debate with some creationists and I am trying to show how evolution works and various evidence for it, etc. I am learning a lot and consider myself a novice in the fields of biology and genetics, etc, but I know that I understand the basics of evolution, and I get it (it has really clicked in my mind after several years lol). The specific information that I am looking for right now is concerning how humans (and other animals) have some unused or deactivated genes in their DNA from generations and speciations ago. I once read somewhere that humans have an old deactivated gene for laying eggs. I am trying to find research material showing and explaining this as part of my method of convincing the people I am debating with. Again, I am not that knowledgeable in genetics and biology (I'm at a mid-college level of education), but I have been reading and studying and I intend to get into learning about genetics. I am mainly fueled by my own interest to understand how life works on all the levels. Please help me with some links and key words and helpful replies. Thanks!
