Scientist: Evolution debate will soon be history

Given how much money the church has ever made, isn't it time people promoting actual truths made some?

Definitely not the scientists doing science and publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals, with research confirming the theory all the time. The average scientist stays middle-class just doing his or her their job.

A lot of people making money out of evolution are creationists writing books containing porkies about the subject. Basically stealing money from widows.

It's particularly sad when you consider Islamic history's overall contributions to the worlds of mathematics and science. While I was at University, the Muslim Society put on a display to educate people about Muslim culture and practices, which included a large display about Muslim contributions to science. But right next to it was a much larger display (at least twice the size) of Harun Yahya's anti-evolution bilge. I felt greatly disappointed that a culture and religion which people desperately need to be educated about more these days is misrepresenting itself so badly because of the poisonous influence of hacks like Yahya.

you won't accpet the evidence, the billions of facts that make up the theory. Its already a fact and a scientific theory.

again your breathing oxygen right now because of evolution.


Scientific American
The Origin of Oxygen in Earth's Atmosphere
The breathable air we enjoy today originated from tiny organisms, although the details remain lost in geologic time
"So how did Earth end up with an atmosphere made up of roughly 21 percent of the stuff?

The answer is tiny organisms known as cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. These microbes conduct photosynthesis: using sunshine, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and, yes, oxygen. In fact, all the plants on Earth incorporate symbiotic cyanobacteria (known as chloroplasts) to do their photosynthesis for them down to this day.

For some untold eons prior to the evolution of these cyanobacteria, during the Archean eon, more primitive microbes lived the real old-fashioned way: anaerobically. These ancient organisms—and their "extremophile" descendants today—thrived in the absence of oxygen, relying on sulfate for their energy needs.

Introduction to the Cyanobacteria

Architects of earth's atmosphere
Cyanobacteria are aquatic and photosynthetic, that is, they live in the water, and can manufacture their own food. Because they are bacteria, they are quite small and usually unicellular, though they often grow in colonies large enough to see. They have the distinction of being the oldest known fossils, more than 3.5 billion years old, in fact! It may surprise you then to know that the cyanobacteria are still around; they are one of the largest and most important groups of bacteria on earth.
Introduction to the Cyanobacteria

Early 'see-sawing' Earth experienced hazy shades of life
" Earth's early atmosphere fluctuated between 'organic haze' and a 'haze-free' environment similar to that of Saturn's moon, Titan, a new study has revealed.
And this switch over 2.5 billion years ago was the result of intense microbial activity and would have had a profound effect on the climate of the Earth system.
Research, led by experts at Newcastle University, UK, revealed that the Earth's early atmosphere periodically flipped from a hydrocarbon-free state into a hydrocarbon-rich state."

Can you breath Methane, or primarily natural gas?
Your breathing Oxygen right now because the bacteria called cynobacteria evolved photosynthesis and changed the earth atmophere. Our atmophere today is a direct result of evolution. Look it up.

Why don't you people understand? If'n they accepts the evidence, then they is goin' to hell, no question 'bout it. God says believe my book or burn (paraphrasin' if'n ya understand)

However there is a serious anti-Galileo movement, still small but trying to ally themselves with creationists.

they had a "scientific" conference cut from the same cloth as the ID/Creationist ones before them in 2010. This was very serious.
