...evolution debate? I'm not going to post a big article about phylogeny, endogenous retroviruses, human/ape DNA studies, vestigial organs, etc. but the info is out there and not too hard to find online. Like on talkorigins.org for example. The evidence doesn't even leave any room for debate.

Instead they come on here arguing about how humans didn't evolve from monkeys. They argue carbon 14 has a short half life and cannot possible be used to date dinosaur bones (No mention of Uranium 238, Potassium 40, Rubidium 87, etc.)

Why not just spend a couple hours objectively looking at the evidence
 
@"just spend an hour or two investigating the other side of the evolution debate?"


Now, that's not necessary. God is the Creator of everything existing, even you.
 
Because it's irrelevant completely to them. It is false in their minds, not of God, and if they even take one step in that direction of investigating, it means that Satan has a hold on them and is leading them down the wrong path - ultimately leading to their souls going to hell.

Needless to say they are not interested in whatever information is out there unless it can be found directly in the bible.

EDIT: Oh and it has to conform to their particular Christian doctrine as well.
 
Many f us have spent many hours looking into those things, and the biggest problem is people like you who close their eyes to the issues and make such a ridiculous statement as"The evidence doesn't even leave any room for debate."

Are you kidding me? While it is a stupid argument, it's MUCH better then most of the shitty questions we get from the fundies.
