:Evolutionists hold that ''all'' animals are non-native to the place they are currently living since they have been scurrying about for billions of years transmogrifying themselves into different things. "Now native" allows for both the Darwinian and Biblical views, as it expresses the idea that kangaroos have been habituated to Australia for thousands of years. This is a reasonable compromise, except apparently to the Darwinists who want to turn Conservapedia into Wikipedia through a slow death of a thousand cuts.

MylesP here. The good doctor Paley might find some of my ruminations concerning precisely this subject on my User Page of some interest. The irony has probably escaped you (unless you are a Doctor of Philosophy) but "a thousand cuts" nicely describes the technique behind "Occam's Razor", which is the removal of elements of an argument which are determined to be unnecessary to the validity of the argument pursued. Science is not just one giant farrago of every imaginable entity. That's Hinduism, or Masonic Lore. Science amasses data, but it REDUCES principles. The history is science is a thousand and ten thousand "cuts". Anyway, have I gander at what I wrote, and see what you think. Btw, I didn't see any reference on your page as to what you are Doctor of, and from what much respected Ivy League college. Perhaps you could satisfy my curiosity on this matter? (As this is an old thread, I will post a copy of this note on your User Page. [[User:MylesP|MylesP]] 23:44, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

::I'm fairly certain that "transmogrifying" comes from Calvin and Hobbes and isn't even remotely the same as evolution. Why are people like the good Dr. here always confused as to the actual definition of evolution? It is simply the slow change of organisms over the course of time based on which organisms are most successful at passing on their genes to the next generation. It's not like a whole different creature is born and it's a new species. It's slow genetic recombination and drift. That's all. WHY is that so hard for people to grasp? Anyhow, it just frustrates me that so many people in America are perfectly happy not understanding the world around them. The US is getting further and further behind the rest of the world. It's like we're backsliding and not even trying to regain our footing. Perhaps one day Doctors will be able to refuse antibiotics to people who don't believe in evolution. Those newly evolved bacteria can just wipe out all the stubborn creationists who refuse to believe that evolution can happen and is all around them.  {{unsigned|Quisculus}}
