Fanatical evolutionists are simply unable to withstand
any criticism because their widely believed and
fiercely protected theory is itself just a fantastic
speculation, unsupported by evidence.

Some evolutionists have taken to blind defense of some form of the
theory, copying in effect the mode of the creationists. That is surely
a silly way to defend a theory, but your statement that it is just
fantastic speculation unsupported by evidence is not so.

You're kidding, right? If you had HIV and various strains inside your
body were evolving resistance to various drugs, as they are in many
AIDS patients, I doubt you'd have this attitude.

The fittest survive. Traits are passed on. That's all -- it's very
simple. The evidence is everywhere. What "fantastic speculation"?

Paul,

Glad you enjoyed the PBS show.

So you are saying that the HIV virus has evolved into
new species?

I thought that on the show, when they took the people
off the anti-viral medications, the HIV reverted to
its 'wild' type. That's not evolution, that's stasis.

The theory of macroevolution is fantastic speculation.
It's like two guys staring at the sun and speculating
that they are looking at a gigantic cubical marshmallow
diffracted through a lens to appear spherical.

There's no evidence whatsoever for the 'theory' (which
is of course not a theory at all but a masturbatory
fantasy, a psychotic delusion detached from all
reality) of macroevolution. And that's a fact.
