[In response to a diagram showing the evolution of dachshunds]
That's not evolution. It's still a dog. You let me know when it gives birth to a rat or a cat. Otherwise, what we see in that pic is called variation (microevolution is what evolutionists call it) within a kind, in this case, this kind is called a dog. It's not evolution (macroevolution).

I've sen some stupid arguements against evolution before, this aint the worst but let's go ahead and have some fun with it.
I wonder if a Fundie's head would explode if you explained to them tht we bred severall breeds of dogs to tbe the way they are. I mean in thier book wouldnt tha tbe defying god's design?
nah, on second thought they would jsut take up thier pitchforks and find the bastard responsible for the poodle.
So... even though there's more morphological differences between a dachshund and a wolf than there are between humans and apes, the wolf-to-dachshund is not enough to be evolution, while the ape-to-human is too much?
Rejecting Religion. Reason #7826
Religion can make you decide not to learn about fact as it may conflict with your fantasy. This can and may lead to you being instantly identified as a braindead sheeple, even on a first impression. This willing ignorance has a high "ick" factor for sane people who will do their best to avoid you at all costs.
Conclusion: If you DON'T want to be a hermit and have the purposeful stupidity of a rock mold, then by all means avoid this scenario at all costs.
Do you think Russell Davies (producer of the new Doctor Who series) reads this site?
After all, he must have got that idea for an unstoppable army of strawmen from somewhere!
Microevolution is complete and utter nonsense:
1) It requires evolution to halt after a certain time. If it didn't, two populations of the same species, that were isolated from each other would grow so different over time they constitute different species.
Who decides when the rate of evolution decreases? Divine interference?
2) If you believe in the young earth, species wouldn't have had the time to evolve very far, meaning evolution takes place on a "micro evolution" scale.
But the mechanisms for evolution as we know it would still be there, so in a few million years, you would see "macro" evolution after all.
"(microevolution is what evolutionists call it)"
Microevolution is what creationists call it in an attempt to keep believing their fairy tale in spite of evidence to the contrary.
"within a kind, in this case, this kind is called a dog."
Creationist experts in a court trial were called upon to define "kind". They couldn't. Are land turtles and sea turtles different kinds or the same kind? THe creationists couldn't tell us.
If you can't tell us which animals are which kinds your blathering about the dog kind is only hot air.
"Microevolution" is not a different "type" of evolution or whatever the fundies proclaim. It's simply a term for analyzing evolution at the microbiotic (i.e., genetic) level. Macroevolution is simply looking at evolution from a macrobiotic (i.e., population) level. They're two perspectives of the same thing, and it happens.
"You let me know when it gives birth to a rat or a cat"
At least this one acknowledges that evolution doesn't involve a single individual of a species.
Other than that, man, keep drooling. You might come up with a thought yet.
Otherwise, what we see in that pic is called variation (microevolution is what evolutionists call it) within a kind, in this case, this kind is called a dog. It's not evolution (macroevolution).
Right. Now integrate with respect to time over millions of fucking years. It's not hard.
Scientifically speaking, this person is correct. Breeding and interbreeding of dogs produce a variation of the breed, a cross-breed, etc. They're all still canine when it comes down to it. Wolves are some of the most primitive (and still alive) examples of the canine species. Wolves, dogs, etc are all variations of that species. This person is not a fundie... they just payed attention in Biology.
"(microevolution is what evolutionists call it)" *'Not a single one I've ever met, you clearly know nothing about evolution.'
That's not evolution. It's still a dog. You let me know when it gives birth to a rat or a cat.
I'll let you know if it gives birth to a dog that's slightly different, inside and out, and that acts a little different from its parent. And I'll let you know if it's children are a little different from it. Will that do?
no evolutionists call it crap. you call it microevolution.
let's try this again...
THERE IS NO MICRO/MACRO, IT'S ALL EVOLUTION!!!!!!!!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
