The iconic horse series has been debunked

BEFORE I too retire from debate with Keith Harris, I would just like to point out his errors.

The iconic horse series presented in textbooks has been debunked. One of these creatures is now thought to be a badger, another a tapir. The series was constructed from fossils found in different parts of the world, and nowhere does this succession occur in one location.

Even if it was true, they are still horses varying within the created kind - they don’t come from anything else nor do they change into anything other than horses.

Mr Harris claims there are plenty of transitional forms. Name just one.

Whales do not share an ancestor with hippos, nor do they have useless back limbs. These bones are vital for anchoring reproductive organs.

Apparently, geological layers are disrupted in places due to earthquakes giving diagonal formations. Yes, yes, so what’s your point? Why would I disagree?

His assertion that evolution is based on science is false. If I had enough space, I could prove how evolutionary atheism contradicts the law of cause and effect, the first and second law of thermodynamics, the law of biogenesis, the laws of chemistry and probability, and the law of information theory.

Mr Harris fondly thinks of himself as a ‘free thinker’, utterly oblivious to the glaring irony. If evolution were true, why should he trust his brain chemistry over his opponents since they both obey the same infallible laws of chemistry and so he can’t help what he believes. There’s none so irrational as those who suppose that rationality even exists if that rationality was caused by the random movement of non-living atoms.

Mr Harris hasn’t produced a shred of evidence against my ‘sciency nonsense’ and resents any opposition to his protected monkey religion that by decree must be taught in schools and universities.
