ahahahha yeah as if going to a community college is some sort of indication of intelligence? maybe it has a bit more to do with me being poor as fuck.

maybe your education has a bit to do with your education and so it's related to your 'high school biology' quip?

maybe you're dumb as fuck to think that you'd get any less of an education at a community college as opposed to being taught by TAs at a larger college??? i get taught by the actual professors for my class.

that's actually fairly impressive that you aced biology in a nation with the no-child left behind program at a community college where you're graded in relation to the rest of your genius classmates, maybe i don't have the best understanding of highschool biology, because highschool biology covers evolution and philosophy of science right?

uh, yeah.

and i'm fairly impressed that in the most fundamentally religious and conservative city probably in the entire USA (and in the shadow of a university that has classes on creationism) i've been able to obtain a much better grasp of evolution. even with no child left behind!

you realize evolution is the foundation for all of modern biology, right?

because you're so smart that you've transcended above all of us racists who believe in evolution because it is far superior in terms of scientific data than any hypothesis put forth by mythologies such as the one you believe in?

you realise a flat earth was the foundation of all classical sciences, right? regardless i'm pretty sure GENETICS was more important than RELATION TO THE DINOS and genetics is the foundation of all evolution (which is why lamarckian stuff isn't used today). either way i don't think evolution is REQUIRED for all biology or even most biology in the same way that the theory of phlogiston isn't necessary for baking

because you're so smart that you've transcended above all of us racists who believe in evolution because it is far superior in terms of scientific data than any hypothesis put forth by mythologies such as the one you believe in?

i don't see how this related to anything, this whole discussion came from Dada saying evolution doesn't need support anymore, it's already proven, stop looking. i don't even understand this at all, i never said i was smart, i said it didn't mean a lot ryan calling me dumb.

why don't people get this i'm not saying it's WRONG i'm saying LOGICALLY IT DOES NOT FOLLOW. on top of that i said it's not very useful and so far people have called me dumb for this because:

i skipped omcifers post and i realised half way though i was using "you" rather than "i" but it doesn't matter. the only thing that came near to addressing any point i made was dada's citrate example. honestly read through that, it's like a youtube commentary. none of those address the logic or usefulness of evolution. i guess usefulness is implied in relation to the foundation of modern day biology, but how or why isn't given and i have a feeling you wouldn't be able to without drawing on the same arguments i criticised for unverifiability and disgusting conclusions.

for being dumb as hell it sure looks like i can argue better, and if you don't believe me then you just don't understand logic

and the concept of a flat earth isn't really equatable to evolution, even if it was the foundation of classical sciences (it wasn't)

foundation... i think the earth was in fact... the bedrock of classical sciences. belief in the flat earth was what all classical science... stood on

regardless it was attacking your underlying assumption that the more people use it or believe in it the more valid it is

Without the Post 9/11 world I can focus on the stuff that really matters.

so you are saying

Aristotelian Physics
Mathematics
Medicine
Biology
Greek astronomy

all had their routes based on the notion that the earth was flat even though it was only relevent to one of the fields mentioned? I'm an art major, I havn't touched greek history in years but I'm pretty sure they thought the earth was round or at least a mountain to some extent, I might be wrong but it doesn't matter because you still make no sense.
