Less Republicans believe in Evolution today than in 2009

....and as someone who occasionally likes correct grammar I loved how you didn't capitalize your first sentence. It backs up that community college thing.

sorry to disappoint....no community college....two graduate degrees and a disdain for rules of grammar......{by the way,I wasn't commenting on your grammar when I pointed out your use of the capital letter in Evolution......I was commenting on your basic philosophical beliefs.....modernists have a tendency to capitalize concepts that have attained a unique identity in their minds.......like Big Business....and Capitalism......and Evolution......}......

Science demonstrates common descent. Why are we discussing basic biology?

it does not demonstrate it with scientific evidence.....if you believe it does, we SHOULD discuss basic biology........

let's start with what is required for the scientific process of deduction.....

Key Info

The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments.
The steps of the scientific method are to:
Ask a Question
Do Background Research
Construct a Hypothesis
Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
Communicate Your Results
It is important for your experiment to be a fair test. A "fair test" occurs when you change only one factor (variable) and keep all other conditions the same.
While scientists study how nature works, engineers create new things, such as products, websites, environments, and experiences.
If your project involves creating or inventing something new, your project might better fit the steps of the Engineering Design Process.
If you are not sure if your project is a scientific or engineering project, you should read Comparing the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method.

would you care to share with us the data you accumulated when experimenting with common descent.....

Start with a site like Talk Origins. They would do a far better job than I would. Or talk to an actual scientist....if you have the balls to face the fact that your lying to yourself.

Bullshit. The fossil record shows it. Your being intellectually dishonest, and this intellectual dishonesty on the part of creationists is one very real reason I am no longer religious.

the fossil record shows evidence of a dead animal.......not your fantasy of common descent......

Again, your deliberately confusing the issue. Scientists study all sorts of things without direct work in a lab. What happens in the center of a black hole for example. What happens in the past is by definition not repeatable. However, science does have a very credible theory known as the theory of evolution and common descent. If you want to remain a stupid fuck, by all means remain a stupid fuck that lies to yourself. Just do not expect me to treat you with any respect whatsoever, because in essence you have lost all credibility with me. In fact, I am pretty much ready to put you on ignore...because of all the people here I honestly feel that you have the least integrity and credibility of anyone.

Again, your essentially not trained in the life sciences or zoology or anthropology. You are wrong.

common sense should tell you that an inanimate object cannot prove an action.....it is speculation that fossil A is a predecessor to fossil B.....they could as well be two totally unrelated creatures.....

ridiculous......almost all experimentation involves repeating something which happened in the past.....that is how the scientific method establishes something to be fact......you mix chemical A with chemical B and you look at the results......if the result is always the same you have a scientific fact......if you can't repeat what happened in the past your hypothesis is proven to be false....

if you can't experiment, then the hypothesis is non-falsifiable.....

weren't you the one who thought we should begin with the basics?......apparently you don't want to know the basics.....

this sentence demonstrates the substantial underlying error of your entire argument......this isn't "a" theory.....it is two theories......I can accept the truth of the first while criticizing the errors of the second.....
 
apparently we've again applied the Law of Failed Argument Thermodynamics.........when critical mass is achieved, the liberal argument and the liberal arguer dissipate in a gaseous state simultaneously.....
