Speciation

I went to a room in Paltalk where someone who claimed to be a Christian just badgered others and would not allow anyone to talk in response to his comments and questions. He proclaimed himself to be a creationist and attacked "evolutionists", insulting them over and over. He defined a strawman position for evolution, and then attacked this spurious strawman. He misrepresented facts.

He claimed that no form of life ever reproduced asexually. He stated that since you needed two life forms of the same kind to get reproduction, and that there was obviously a first life form when life began, this first life form could not reproduce since it had no partner.

He stated that evolution describes the creation of the earth, universe and life, which is not the theory of evolution. He claimed that all people who accept evolution are atheists. He was told that the Catholic Church supported the theory of evolution and he quickly ignored that.

He said that everyone including all creationists believe in speciation, which is definitely not correct. He said that all creationists believe the exact same things, and that all Christians are creationists and believe the exact same thing. He was so confused about what evolution was, and what creationism is, that it was extremely difficult to argue against him.

It was also just impossible to discuss anything with him since he had control of the room. And so I gave up, after hearing him ranting and raving for a while. And I left...
