No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.
Who says that?

Quote:What about insertions and multiple copies (which are then mutated)?
his point that mutations take away from an organism and add nothing new to a genome is fact.

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

"Rue, his point that mutations take away from an organism and add nothing new to a genome is fact." Actually, this is NOT a fact. They can change genomes in helpful ways - for example sickle-cell trait (a single point mutation - look it up) which confers resistance to malaria.
As SignyM pointed out, other mechanisms besides point mutations - like repeats and insertions - do add genetic material and change DNA function. So does viral carried DNA. The vast majority of human DNA appears to orginate from retroviruses. (BTW, the so called 'non-coding' or junk DNA controlls expression of the rest of the DNA.)
The POINT is, the site you think is so exquisite is bull. So PLEASE, educate your self. I don't have time to go around and around your bogus assertions.

Is it even worth trying to educate the uneducatable? If someone won't even listen to an argument, what hope is there of persuading them of anything?

What you are missing is that no new materials are added. They are just different errors within the gene during replication the genome stays the same. It can never result in a new species..never. A simple Google of genetic insertions what is on top....

Instead of spouting basic crap. Oh.. ah, insertions, point mutations yatayata ya. Learn something, or show data that disproves these two sites. How do insertions cause species to change? How long would it take to replace the general population of a species with a new phenotype because of a genetic change? Is the earth even old enough to do it even once? Give one example of an evolutionary change in a species that can't be disproved in 4 seconds? Have fun.

No one has been able to debunk the fossil record. Until that happens, don't waste my time.

The fossil record. Wow now talk about being misnamed. As if it is a liner record of life. Or branched record of life. Yah right. Not one species can ever be shown to split, never mind change all together. The missing link, what a joke. Stop looking for it. Try looking for any of the billions of missing links..Billions. When one is found let me know
Don't waste my time. An alien once landed in Roswell. Don't look I think there is a monster in the closet.

Kaneman is right. Can't everone see it?
Overwhelming evidence doesn't matter. The fact that not every singe element of evolutionary theory have been proven clearly proves that we were all created by the big invisible man in the sky. It says so in an old book. So it's irrefutable.
Or maybe it was the flying spaghetti monster
One of those, I'm sure of it.

Good grief . . . the guy doesn't even comprehend the difference between Darwinism and Lamarckism, forget about molecular biology. OK, on the one hand we have Mr. Website Guy, citing amateur evolutionists and New Scientist articles, not one bit of his own published investigative work in the field.
On the other hand, we've got many thousands of researchers diligently observing nature, publishing study after peer-reviewed study, yet all somehow clinging desperately to a discredited and deeply flawed philosophy.
Sue is DA BOMB! I used to be a Field member when I lived out that way.
It's okay to leave them to die.
