How can you know they are better informed and not merely baffling you with bullshit?

The disciplines of science prove creation and disprove evolution.
No, they don't. Frequent repetition of a falsehood does not make it true.

You have posted a link that does not address any specific substantive points pertaining to the Grants' work on Daphne Major. Why did you do that? Did you hope that I wouldn't notice?

Are you taking the piss, Pahu? The Grants' work on Daphne Major was the substance of the link I posted here, that you pretended wasn't evidence for evolution. You should be very interested in the Grants' work - it blows your silly creationist claptrap out of the water.

Oh and you latest C&P drivel from Brian Thomas is entirely irrelevant to evidence that emerged 8 years after it was written. Surely you can see that? Or was posting that just taking the piss as well?

It seems you and the Grants are jumping to conclusions. The finches are still finches as the article by Brian Thomas points out. They have not changed into a different kind, which evolution demands.

Oh FFS, Pahu! Repeating Thomas's falsehood does not magically make it true. Either you are taking the piss or you lack the wit to comprehend the Grants' work. There are no other possibilities.

Also, now we add "conservation" to the list of things you don't understand (or pretend not to understand).

There is nothing false about Brian Thomas' article. Your unwillingness to comprehend it does not make it false.

Pahu and Tetenterre in a great debate on evolution. Keep it friendly. I know very little on evolution, so I can't participate. I am an astronomy geek. If you have any questions on astronomy you can ask me.

I too know little about evolution, but I think we can both learn from this debate. Pahu is pointing out (or rather demonstrating) that clever people, and there are creationists who are pretty clever, are able to pick holes in the theory of evolution which virtually all people today, including most Christians, accept. It is worth trying to pick out flaws in these arguments, which depend, in the case of human evolution, from the underlying agenda that any fossil found must be either ape or human - thus Neanderthals are human but Lucy was an ape.

Pahu, I am addressing you now. What about homo habilis? Please read the attached Wiki article and come back with some genuine thoughts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_habilis

The article starts off with an evidence free assumption that the fossils lived over a million yeas ago. The disciplines of science prove creation and disprove evolution. For example:

What about your paradox, Pahu? When are you going to get round to answering that?
Alan Henness

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Pahu, please explain how an opinion piece (Brian Thomas's) written in 2009 addresses findings that were made in 2016/17. Speciation has been observed. Your "finches are still finches" comment is about as relevant to speciation as saying "primates are still primates": chimpanzees are a different species to silverback gorillas.

Your statement "not changed into a different kind, which evolution demands" is meaningless: "kind" has no meaning where speciation is concerned; evolution does not "demand" anything; it is merely a word that means "generational changes in inherited traits" (i.e. precisely what has been observed on Daphne Major).

Same here. What's your speciality? (Mine's HEA on the theoretical side, and I recently acquired an Alpy so I can split starlight from home on the practical side - still getting to grips with it. :D )
