A short dialogue I had that made a Darwinist go nuts

how did marine fossils get on the top of mountain ranges across the world?

The mountains at some time in the past were ocean bottoms.  Google plate tectonics and go from there.

There is now a HUGE shift away from evolution theory both in the U.S. and Europe. You gentlemen need to get out of the 60's, we now have overwhelming evidence for design. The strangest thing about the religion of evolution and atheism is your God, [ dirt, hope,and time ]. I will provide all the science to bury Darwins antiquated theories. Let me know if you want to learn.

I'm not sure where you're getting these ideas, what HUGE shift are you talking about?  Creationists have been trying to get ID taught in the classroom on several different attempts and failed every single time.   Intelligent design isn't a scientific theory, it's simply a way to get biblical literalism [young earth] implanted into our society. 

Evolution isn't a scientific theory either.  It's simply a way of explaining the historical fossil record.

I have to more careful myself about using the word evolution when I mean Darwinism.
Jimmy, I am not a young earther either. I have read some of your posts and believe we are alike in thought on many issues.
It is the Darwinian explanation, including the tree of life which is not represented in the fossil record.

Many people define Darwinism to mean nothing different from evolution.  You should probably define exactly what you mean by it.  I don't think there are many scientists out there that claim Darwin was absolutely correct about everything he ever said.

Show us something in biology that couldn't have formed by increments.

Life; living organisms

Tod Said -> A probability of less than 10 to the 50th power is considered a complete impossibility.

Isn't this backwards ? Shouldn't it read -> "A probability of more than 10 to the 50th power is considered a complete impossibility." ??

Those numbers are just crazy to try and wrap my mind around.. It's like trying to encompass the number of square miles in the solar system...

Including Uranus...<snicker>...

[Beavis' Voice... heheheh... he said Uranus....heheheh]

Well most of the replies were laced with pretty bad language so I'll skip to the interesting parts:

Me: "If bacteria needed to evolve to survive, then why is bacteria still around? And yet everything dies anyway. If an organism MUST evolve for survival purposes, then why do the organisms supposedly inferior at surviving (ex: bacteria) still exist, and yet more evolved species are better at surviving in the same sorts of habitats.

I don't know why this other person stated that one MUST evolve to survive...it's flat out wrong.  Ants haven't evolved much over quite a vast period of time [hundreds of thousands of years?]. 

Nor have things in the ocean changed much either =) and anyway, if evolution exists, it's absolutely logical to assume there is a God controlling the evolution.
