I can not believe that people keep feeding the anti-evolution trolls. That's what they are, real life trolls.
Plenty of scientists believe in God, what these people are pushing isn't even good religion. Talk about cherry picking the bible.
But what most upsets me is not the trolls, but the people who feed them. Scientists debating with them. Scientific debate is not the same as "debate". They are in fact exact opposites.
Here's how best to explain it: In debating competitions you can still argue the pro-slavery side and win! That's debate, it is NOT ABOUT TRUTH.
Science, and the unfortunately named "scientific debate" are about making a claim that can be proven wrong. Explaining how to prove your claim wrong, and then sitting back and waiting for your opponents to prove you wrong.
So lets stop feeding the trolls, and lets rename "scientific debate" to gooobladowy or something, just to clear up the confusion.
When science and trolls engage in debate, science ALWAYS loses.
All the trolls need to win is for there to be debate, not even scientific debate, even TV debate is good enough. You can NOT win by arguing with real life trolls. You will NEVER convince them.
