    I'm almost glad when someone posts a lame anti-Darwin piece because Jerry Coyne's rebuttals are so enlightening -http://goo.gl/FHU3ZL

        @sapinker @sciam Anti-Darwin comments make me happy because an ad hominem attack reveals one's level of desperation and misunderstanding.

        @sapinker @sciam because of dietary change (nylon eating) that proves EVO ? To have the faith of a deluded atheist/evo'ist

        @sapinker @sciam it truly is amazing to read thru this and to actually believe the factuality of it.it takes more faith to believe in EVO.

        @sapinker the worst argument I have heard against Darwinism: "Darwin was a white supremacist."

        @sapinker @sciam Personally, I would rather believe that I was created in the image of God rather than evolving from an ape. Life is sacred.

        @sapinker I love when creationists focus on Darwin, it's like denying television works because the first one wasn't perfect.
