Those idiots actually seem to believe that "refuting" the kind of evolution that Pokemon shows, refutes real life evolution??
quote:
In science fiction terms the Pokémon game seems plausible, so evolution may have found another ‘credibility niche' through the workings of children's games. While not teaching evolution at a rational level, it does tend to condition children into accepting as ‘normal' the idea of massive biological change. (It's a bit like the slippery ‘bait-and-switch' definitions that evolutionists used for the word ‘evolution'.)
In the real world, of course, such transformations are not observed. To change one type of creature into a radically different type requires a way to generate totally new genetic information. Evolutionists have still not found any mechanism whereby evolution could pass this unassailable hurdle.
Perhaps Pokémon has finally provided the answer. Is evolution observable, testable and repeatable? Yes, but only in the world of the Pokémon.

| Yea maybe. But it goes to show how little some people understand about evolution. Noting that basic evolutionary theory can be learned in about an hour at the local library, this is a bad sign before a good one. If such idiotic arguments fell upon an audience of laughted (as I showed above) it would be great, but so long as it is even entertained with an ounce of seriousness, it remains a sign of how little impact critical thought, logic, and science have on the average Joe Christian. |

Personally, I hope Grant Williams succeeds! It's about time the theory of Pokemon evolution (and it's only a theory, not a fact!) was taken down.
Seriously, it's great to see an idiot like Williams spinning his wheels in the mud of irrelevancy, and providing wonderful unintended humor in the process. I hope more join him.

I forgot to mention that the CMI claim that evolution has "no new information" has been shot down before. I believe even the Dover trial transcript may have a mention of that, as the whiners at DI show:
http://www.evolutionnews.org/2006/07/peerreview_intelligent_design_1.html
Yes, it's a Discovery Institute article, but a read here shows that they're just trying to explain away new genetic information because the word "information" wasn't used!
as well as
http://evolutionblog.blogspot.com/2004/09/me-and-mr-ham.html
(that one is a good one!! He gets Ham caught in a question about genetic information that he can't answer, and Ham tries to weasel his way out of it.
quote:
Anyway, when it came to be my turn I very politely asked, in front of a group of about thirty or more audience members, why he persisted in repeating this charge even after biologists had responded to it many times. I rattled off several mechanisms by which information could increase and asked why he had not mentioned them in his talk. I finished by pointing out that since most of Dawkins' books address, at least indirectly, the subject of information growth, it was rather unfair to make it appear that he had no answer to the question.
Ham stuttered a bit and finally suggested I walk over to the book exhibit and pick up a copy of the book In the Beginning was Information by Werner Gitt, where I would find answers to all my questions. I politely thanked him for the suggestion and walked away. Happily, quite a few of the other audience members came with me and asked me some follow-up questions. I was more than happy to answer them.

And some other article that I can't find right now...
