but I can go the distance with anyone on this board in an argument!

Ummm....not when you have no clue what you're talking about, you can't. And, as usual, you don't. Just like in the "Guns for bears" thread, just like in the "Is MMA A Sport" thread, and just like in your "I'm not sexist, but that shit a'int fer wimmin!" thread. Your version of "going the distance" appears to consist of being whomped on, beaten to a pulp, carried out of the ring unconcsious, and then hauling yourself upright to declare victory long after the actual winner has departed.

We see the true colours of the average atheist in threads like this - look how patronising Mantus is to me, look how anyone who believes in God is a moron, a simpleton, a superstitious idiot to these elitists.

Ballocks. I'm a theist (Christian, even!), and I haven't felt persecuted or patronised to, but I also know what I'm talking about when it comes to evolutionary theory and the scientific method. If you're beginning to sense a pattern, you might want to meditate upon it.
Quote:
I repeat - the THEORY of evolution - ie, the way species can change to adapt to their environment and pass these characteristics on by these adaptions making them more successful - is supported by some evidence and should be taught
The RELIGION of evolution - from men who believe God is a "magic man in the sky" and that all humanity can be linked to single cell pond slime by a series of millions of random chances and pure unthinking chaos...

Two points:
1: You are creating a false dichotomy. There is no difference between the two scenarios you posit except
time scale. The observable process of evolution, which you acknowledge in your first paragraph, -leads to- the longer-term processes and changes you describe in your second paragraph. They are the same process, indivisible, with the only difference between the two being that the second scenario typically takes place over much longer periods of time.
2: The theory of evolution is the only one, of all the various hyptheses you present, which is supported by observable evidence. These is no evidence, zero, nada, nothing...to support the idea that humans (or any other form of life with the possible exception of viruses; some interesting work being done here in re comet dust) have any extraterrestrial origin. Therefore, it is the only one which belongs in any type of science classroom.
