    Christianity evolved from Zoroastrianism.

    There's your evidence for evolution.

    Wait... You believe that in England there is only one dog, one type of bird, only one tree, or flower... Northern England has the exact same species of all life as the south.

    Is that what you are saying?
    I disagree...

    Someone just come up with a scientific experiment where genes mutate to become another species.

    It is that simple.

    If evolution is real - prove it with science... Pretty easy. We can make cats glow in the dark, so obviously we can prove evolution.

    Then your inability to accept evolution is bewildering.
    Maybe a different outdated religion?

    I have been around long enough to identify trolling.

    The thread title is trolling Click Bait.

    The OP makes the FALLACIOUS allegation that Evolution is a "religion" WITHOUT any attempt at substantiation which is de facto trolling.

    The OP then makes ABSURD BOASTS that anyone who disagrees will be "destroyed" which is yet another type of mindless trolling.

    That is THREE STRIKES and I could not be bothered to list the rest of the trolling.

    Not when you understand that ALL of the responses are trolling just for the sake of trolling.

    Essentially this is the PF equivalent of the Monty Python Argument skit.

    I see that. And your disagreement is based on a misunderstanding of what evolution is. The fellow who asked you to define your terms to see if you knew what you are talking about nailed it.

    No it isn't. It's just contradiction. ;)

    It always amuses me when people try to devalue evolution by describing it as a religion - do they understand that they are categorising religion as being less valid than science? Which of course it is.

    I learned this morning. The thing I used to use no longer exists; but this refers to it, and explains it away. The rest of the article shows a ton of evidence I was unaware of. You'll like it.
    https://www.csustan.edu/sites/defau.../Weikart/Darwinism-in-Nazi-Racial-Thought.pdf

    On the upper part of your post, we fundamentally disagree without need for debate. Just no.
    On the lower part, Nazis taught their racial ideology in Catholic and Lutheran churches.

    If you read the entire essay linked above, you'll find the Nazis were fiercely anti-miscegenation. That word was invented by two Boston Globe reporters, to use against Lincoln in the 1864 presidential campaign. I searched for the connection, but could never find solid evidence that they got it from top Polygenist, Louis Agassiz. Harvard is just over 3 miles from the Boston Globe.

    However the Nazis mixed anti-miscegenation with evolution, their eugenics is the opposite of Galton's, Darwin's cousin and ally. The essayist also missed Madison Grant, who wrote Hitler's favorite book, The Passing of the Great Race. And, he neglected the chapter in Mein Kampf, vol. 2, The State. Hitler began and ended his career as a Polygenist.

    I want to make this clear. This claim you just made was refuted on page one of the first thread you created on the topic almost 10 years ago.

    You have to admire the persistence of a man who is on his fifteenth attempt to prove a failed hypothesis.

    Certainly more faith based than science.

    Doesn't the Bible depict God endorsing and even himself committing genocide via the flood? And didn't Hitler claim his God was on his side of the war (as pretty much every religious person at war does?)

    And if the belief in a God is all that's holding you back from murder, genocide etc, then I think I speak for all of us here when I say I am happy you believe, and I hope you continue to keep such sociopathy under control.

    What was it that Einstein said about repeating something and expecting a different outcome....

    No, Hitler was Nietzschean. Nazism was Godless.
    Nazis propagandised the pagan roots of the master race.

    Sure.

    Since the evolutionary record shows that such broad changes occur over thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years, we'll
    start an experiment now and we can check the data in year 3225, and get back to you. But since evolution is a theory
    at this point, we are still trying to disprove it in the meantime - but so far we've found no fossil record or DNA research that would
    cast serious doubt on the THEORY.

    And I would caution you into getting too antsy about experiments on this subject as the ability to trace variances in DNA
    is still a very young process. In the meantime, evolution has stood up to over 100 years of peer review, so it has earned the
    right, at this point, to be considered a "theory".

    Was it E equals MC squared?
    Oh wait, that was something to do with your relatives.
