No fuckin' way! I get way to tired of many people going from misconception to misconception, having them pointed out, only to have new people just starting all over again.

• Various BS about misconceptions(or even strawmans) basically seeing evolution as creation, as many narrow minds can apparently not even conceive evolution;
  • Mutation DOES NOT always give beneficial traits. (like tumors in people, which can be a cell-division error.)
  • Evolution DOES have random variation in it. It DOES NOT produce "perfect" creatures in any sense.
  • Evolution IS NOT totally random. Small changes can get made during cell divisions, and crossing over is done with sexual reproduction.
  • And in god sakes, different animals have different genes not like every species has a single set.

• There are no irreducible traits on any of the creatures, for instance the eye in this thread.(Or explore the link hackle gave) Many things have redundancies and still function when changed. Also note that functions of certain attributes can change. Lastly, notice that many creatures actually differ a only a little on the microscopic level. Or even macroscopic; mammals, reptiles and birds all have the same basic shape, spine, four legs(arms) and a tail. Mammals have similar lungs etcetera. It might well be that these have not evolved differently because it does not have the oppertunity to.

• "Life comes from life"; Well, evolution itself does not attempt to explain abiogenisis. Creationists are the ones so crazy to claim abiogenisis creates entire creatures of all species, with everything on it, which is way crazier then just thinking it created a single or a few. (independent from each other.) There actually might be ways of increasing the chance.

• "I never see life in my pasteurized peanutbutter or whatever other such product."; Ever watched your peanutbutter with a microscope? If you did, and there was a single cell of 'new life' in there would you find it? Should i calculate it for you?? Do you fuckin' expect a whole creature with legs and lims in there?? And why dont you compare the volume*time of all pasturized goods ever to exist to the volume*time of 0.001% of the water(aka potential spontanious life creation volume) on the earth times 1.0 billion years.

• In conflict with thermodynamics; Thermodynamics does not say what hypothetical poster says it does, and is not that sure thermodynamics and statistical physics is true either. (For instance arrow of time problem.) Works so far in experiments, Maxwells demon might indicate that microscopic manipulation might break it. Has various problems, but works in the cases we work with.

• "Where are the missing links?"; Then we find the missing links, guess what the question becomes then? You have guessed it, "Where are the missing links?". People wont be happy about this until we have found fossils of every creature in the world. I also always wonder where the missing link is in the rotation of my clocks pointers.

• "No proof"; there is at least partial proof(in link), and there really is no other reasonable theory.

• "It is only a theory"; So is gravity.. Sayings like "Just a theory" are just sayings, actually theories have varying acceptedness in the scientific community, and some are true for approximations. Some are not true at all. Just about everything in science is theory; that does not stop the laser in you cd-reader, the electron gun in your CRT, you car, your cpu and memory from working.

• Misquoting scientists; In the science community evolution is by vast mayority accepted. Do not let discussion of scientists about how it happens mislead you. And for god sakes, TAKE POPULAR SCIENCE ARTICLES WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.(that one more general)

• But it is all-so-beautiful non-arguments.; Not about evolution nor abiogenisis. Seems most of the universe does not actually contain life by any standard. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

• Does not explain anything. Yes it does! And what does creationism explain? Some dude pulled it out of his magic hat?(Dont whine about we not knowing about the origin of the universe either, we admit not knowing that, so should you.)
