Creationists: Explain Evolution
I have found that many times, when a creationist makes an argument against evolution, it seems that they have no understanding of evolution, whatsoever. I've never had a creationist follow up explaining that they, in fact, do understand evolution. For this reason I don't think its fair to keep badgering them and claim that all creationists don't understand evolution.
I am asking creationists to explain evolution, whether or not you believe it in doesn't matter. Just explain it and prove to me that creationists aren't simply ignoramuses.

your argument against evolution as a case in point in support of Stosis' interesting post.
"As a Christian who denies that humans came from a lower life form, I don't see anything as ever validating Darwinism... because it never happened.
For fossils and mutations to be evidence for Darwinism you have to presume that Darwinism is true, otherwise you just have bones in the dirt."
eXnihilo.
There you are folks. Pesky evolutionary theory crushed by assertion it never happened...

Well I think I saw this video on here before but here we go again:

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Speaking as an ex-fundie I can say that I would have flat out said absolutely nothing about evolution was true and that would be it. If I had to explain evolution back then I would have said the belief that we all came from monkeys
No really,., I swear to FSM I once said " If humans came from monkeys why are there still monkeys"
I also said " If evolution was true, people wouldn't be born they would just grow from monkeys'
In my defense I was only about 13 at the time, but I still believed evolution was a lie for years after that.

Argument from Sadism: Theist presents argument in a wall of text with no punctuation and wrong spelling. Atheist cannot read and is forced to concede.
lol i myself but i never spoke to any atheist
i came this this position thru learning because i have a passion for knowledge
So, no takers?
Also, lol at the humans growing from monkeys.
Here he demands I supply myriad intermediate forms:
"Why don't you and i buy a proper science text that deals with the gaps between the living species and the fossil ones and we can see then.
the entire fossil record does not support evolutionary theory if there should be hundreds no thousands of obvious intermediate forms leading inexorably to the next thing in line.
anyway, unless the theory only worked in the past it should still be working shouldn't it? is that agreed?
and if it is not as there do not appear to be too many intermediate forms living as opposed to thousands, did it ever?"

I'm pretty sure francis collins could explain evolution much better then you can.
Then again, perhaps you mean young earth creationists.
Lol, of course.
We're asking 'Creationists' to explain evolution. As in, the people that don't accept the theory of evolution and think that God made all organisms instantly with all of their present characteristics.
