If Evolution Were True

[Autodidact]

sandy: I make the best chili in the county and am happy to explain the Theory of Evolution (ToE) to you. Which do you want first?

background: Do you understand that ToE is a theory in a specific scientific field, Biology, and that it explains why there are so many different kinds of organisms on earth, and why they are so different, complex, and adapted to their environments? Do you understand that science is all about evidence, not proof, and that the most important kind of evidence is when a hypothesis generates specific predictions that are then confirmed? If you understand all that, I can move on and explain what ToE says.

And again we return to – truly pathetic.

Here you go, don’t say I didn’t give you what you asked for.

Truly pathetic, I'm surprised you fell for it.

Chili. I already understand the ToE. Do you have any Lakers tickets?

fantome: Your chili recipe sounds mediocre to me. Here's mine:

1 # cheap steak, such as chuck steak
1 large can minced tomatoes
1 regular can beans: black, pinto, etc. as you prefer
1 medium onion
1 red bell pepper.
1/4 # salt pork.
1 habanero chili pepper [use caution.]
1 cup beef stock or, if you prefer, beer.
salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder--1/4 t. each. (for dredging only.)
1/4 c. flour

Mince salt pork fine. Render it. Meanwhile, cut steak into around 1" cubes. Add spices to flour in plastic bag. Dredge meat in flour and spices. Brown meat in rendered salt pork. Remove and set aside. Dice onion and bell pepper. Mince habanero pepper fine. *Use plastic gloves to mince habanero* Cook onion and peppers in rendered salt pork over medium heat till soft. Add meat back in. Add remaining ingredients and cook over low heat until you can't wait any longer to eat it.

Then why do you want me to explain it to you? And no, although I am the source of all knowledge, I am not the source of sporting tickets.

Does this mean you don't have Lakers tickets?

Could you explain it to me?

 

[Autodidact]

No, this does:

no, although I am the source of all knowledge, I am not the source of sporting tickets.

So do you understand ToE, or want me to explain it to you, which?

 

[sandy whitelinger]

Then why do you want me to explain it to you?

Just to see if you'd do it.

 

[Autodidact]

I'm happy to explain it to you, if you don't understand it.

Are you sure, because your posts indicate that you don't. Maybe you only think you do. I'll tell you what, you tell us what you think ToE says, and we'll tell you whether you understand it or not.

It's really not that complicated, and once you understand it, it's hard to see how it could NOT be true.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm sick of this game.

You obviously have no intention of doing anything but attempting to derail this thread.

Wrong. Go back to post #22. Aparently I need things explained often to me. I was just trying to oblige.

Which posts would those be?

 

[fantome profane]

Which posts would those be?

I would be happy to answer that question if you could convince me that you are willing to learn.

Do you want me to answer that question, or do you want my recipe for guacamole?

 

[Autodidact]

Which posts would those be?

Post # 21, for example.

Anyway, as I said, I am happy to explain ToE to you, and you don't even have to invest as much time as I do. All I ask is that you stick around, read my posts and respond. O.K.? For starters, would you answer these questions, which you've already rudely ignored? Thanks.

Did you try the chili yet?
