18) If evolution is true, how come there are still monkeys?

19) Evolution requires faith.

20) Survival of the fittest means organisms should go kill off weaker members of its species to make survival easier for the stronger members.

21) Physical changes that occur during the lifetime of an organism will be passed on the offspring.

22) Survival of the fittest is circular logic.

23) Only the fittest survive. (In actuality, if an organism can barely get by then it classified into the "fit" category).

24) Kent Hovind is an expert in the fields of evolution, biology, and other sciences.

25) Organisms evolve/mutate during their lifetime if a new selection pressure exerts itself.

26) Evolution caused slavery.

27) Many scientists are now casting doubt on Darwin's theory.

28) Charles Darwin is Satan.

29) Evolution can't exist because of irreducible complexity.

30) Evolution is JUST a theory.

31) God made evolution so he could trick as many scientists as he could into believing it, instead of him, just so he could light them on fire for all eternity. But he still loves them.

42) Evolution is not testable or empirical, therefore it is not science.

43) No Darwin, then no Hitler

44) The perfect match between bees and flowers must be a designer because it can't be evolution.Evolution has to do with survival from predators, not how well you can carry pollen.

45) Mutations are never beneficial

46) There is limits to biological change: new kinds never arise

47) Vertebrate embryos never resemble each other

48) Evolution must be wrong because gravity pulls things down right, but that clearly doesn't happen because birds can stay up in the air.

49) Oh you evolutionists make me laugh, it was God who created the world. It says so in the bible and the bible says its true, so IT IS TRUE!!!

"the bible says its true, so IT IS TRUE!!! "

ei jaksa kommentoida kaikkia joten tää on hyvä...eli täytyy sanoa, että on se raamattu kyllä niin vakuuttava ja todisteita pullollaan, että kai siihen on vain uskottava...ei tässä mitään tietosanakirjoja tarvita, ehei, onhan minulla raamattu...biologian kirjat voi heittää mäkeen sillä siellä ei puhuta kuin paskaa...muttä raamattu, sitä kannattaa opiskella, siintä oppii vaikka mitä uutta ja hienoa!

Uskisten älykkyys tiivistyy juuri tämän ketjun avaukseen. Onkohan viimeaikoina tehty paljon tutkimuksia, miten kreationismin kannatus on verrannollinen keskivertoa alempaan älykkyytteen.

  • Tuskin se suoraan älykkyydestä riippuu. Tunnen eräitä kavereita joilla on aika korkeat ÄO:t ja silti uskovat luomisoppiin. Se mitä kotona on opetettu vaikuttaa paljon. Tosin tunnen kyllä myös joitain todella tyhmiä ihmisiä jotka uskovat luomisoppiin.

    Eikä tuo ÄÖ-arvo kerro älykkyydestä vaan lähinnä loogisesta näppäryydestä. Esimerkiksi minulla tuo arvo on n. 150, enkä ole keskivertoa älykkäämpi..mielestäni ainakaan. Olen vain matemaattisesti lahjakas.

    Uskonnon aivopesuvaikutus on huomattava. Jos ihminen ei ole enää lapsekas, utelias, alkaa se uskomaan myyttisiin kansantarinoihin.
