Here are a few more to consider

After all, why should we limit what we teach to things that we actually have evidence for?

Hey! I bet that's photoshopped!!!!

You're saying we never made it to the moon, and that's why JFK was shot?

There's another theory?

Nothing ever gets past you.

As I said above...

Of course silly. Sonic vibrations caused by chanting levitated the blocks into place. No flying saucers needed. And you call yourself an educator

You know very well that I have long stated here on TWeb that you are unquestionably THE Master of Straw Men here. You supply more ammo to prove my point than I could possibly hope for. The above post illustrates that splendidly.

I doubt it but perhaps you are unaware of your hero's views on presenting BOTH sides of an argument equally and fairly. Here it is in your hero's own words:

Darwin wrote in On the Origins of Species that when considering the evidence for evolution, “a fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question.”

Of course, TEs have very long since abandoned such archaic thinking. For quite some time now - at least 40 years - the quickest ticket out of a job, out of being regarded as a scientist, out of having any credibility or respectability, out of being considered scientifically literate ... etc ... etc ... the fastest ticket out of all of that and more was obtained by simply questioning the Sacred Cow of Evolutionism.

TEs are p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c which is why in a recent post I stated - and here repeat - that Atheists cannot hold a candle to the majority of Theistic Evolutionists. TE's went from being mere allies of Atheists to being their most valued offensive and defensive asset. Heck, Atheists can sit by the pool sipping on margaritas and allow the TEs to do all the heavy lifting!

Way to go, R06 ... good show!!!

More bad stand-up comedy from ol' Jorgey Porgie. He'll never make it into the business at this rate.

Hey, that's a fairly handsome gentleman there!
Too bad some ghetto ruffians had to practice their graffiti on his pic.

Oh well, we have to be politically correct by allowing the down-trodden,
uneducated masses to express themselves with their "art" as best they can.

Hey, Beagle Boy, they just built a new overpass bridge near downtown.
Grab yourself a few cans of cheap paint and sometime after midnight
you can do your graffiti-thing on that bridge. Go on, express yourself!

“a fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question.”

The underlined is where you come up short.

I know, I know, you think I'm a moron.

Darwin wrote in On the Origins of Species that when considering the evidence for evolution, “a fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question.”

Correct. And that was done over a century ago and creationism lost big time. Since then you guys haven't brought anything new to the table but instead keep digging up and trotting out the same hoary old PRATTs. Meanwhile, cross correlating, corroborating, consilient positive evidence from dozens of different and independent scientific disciplines continues to amass in support of evolution on literally a daily basis.

Of course, TEs have very long since abandoned such archaic thinking. For quite some time now - at least 40 years - the quickest ticket out of a job, out of being regarded as a scientist, out of having any credibility or respectability, out of being considered scientifically literate ... etc ... etc ... the fastest ticket out of all of that and more was obtained by simply questioning the Sacred Cow of Evolutionism.

Meanwhile, in the real world scientists have indeed been challenging the ToE for quite some time as new and more accurate information continues to come in and doing quite well.

• Like when Conrad Waddington proposed developmental evolution (evo-devo) in 1942

• Like when Willi Hennig proposed phylogenetic systematics (cladistics) in 1950

• Like when Motoo Kimura proposed the neutral theory of molecular evolution (genetic drift) in 1968

• Like when Lynn Margulis proposed Endosymbiotic theory in 1970

• Like when Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould proposed punctuated equilibrium in 1973

• Like when Søren Løvtrup proposed Epigenetics in 1974

• Like when Carl Woese proposed horizontal gene transfer in 1977

These are all (and not the only) examples of controversial theories when they came out as they accounted for observed biological changes that did not correspond to the expectations of the neo-Darwinian models derived from the New Synthesis (which itself over-turned pure Darwinian thought and theory and was developed in the mid 1930s through the mid 40s).

And how about Ford Doolittle? He raised questions about the Tree of Life concept -- IIRC, concerning the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA). Was he run out of town? Marginalized and ridiculed? Only if that means being made a Professor Emeritus at Stanford and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

You really need to start at least trying to fail better. Maybe it can be a belated New Year's resolution

Oh, look, a quote-mine. Hey, Jorge! Did you chop off the rest of that sentence and put that misleading period there, or did you just copy that quote from somewhere other than Origins and pretend otherwise? My guess is the latter since you also got Darwin's title wrong, but you might want to clarify in case there's some-one out there who is wondering if you are dishonest or merely gullible.
