I'm going to have to say that anybody who doesn't parse it out beyond the common generic definition is just blissfully drinking the blue coolade. How so? Evolution, as used by scientists up to this point and commonly understood by them around the globe, has meant exactly one thing. How does parsing a new definition of it improve the situation? Do I need to parse the definition of "gravity" as well, or is that "drinking the blue coolade"?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this case the definition is simple and comes from the poll. 40% of Americans think that "God created humans pretty much in their present form within the past 10,000 years."

Bah . . . even if you quote the cop you can't say he threatened him. He states what he thinks he should have done, but that's very different from saying what he's going to do if the perp doesn't cooperate. This isn't ME parsing it, it's you guys. It's impossible to threaten somebody in past tense. Bringing that back around to this thread, I don't see how anybody can say it's evolution if they think god somehow had a hand in it.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Says the guy who gets all his information on the subject from an organisation whos stated aim is to disagree with it even if it means lying, obfuscating and plain making shit up.
