Oh! It just hit me. The reason why we never hear about plant evolution is because plants don't have sexual intercourse...well, at least not in the way evolutionists like to envision it. See, evos are obsessed with sex, especially if it's forced sex or if it's between two different types of animals, like chimps and humans. But since plants don't do any of that, then they're just simply less sexy of a topic. Science only gets interested when animals have harems or multiple partners, or -- of course -- if they're's any homosexual activity going on...that as well gets them real excited. I suppose the ultimate zenith for science would be evidence of homosexual activity between a Neanderthal and a chimp.

1. Plant evolution is very widely documented but disregarded by fundies.
2. No, scientists working on evolution (not "evolutionists") are not sex crazed people. You are the one obsessing about sex.
3. Science does not get interested in anything, scientists do.
I suppose the ultimate zenith for science would be evidence of homosexual activity between a Neanderthal and a chimp.
4. Is that wishful thinking?
5. Grow up and start thinking for yourself.
"See, evos are obsessed with sex, especially if it's forced sex or if it's between two different types of animals, like chimps and humans."
Wow. When you're right, you're right...

"The reason why we never hear about plant evolution is because plants don't have sexual intercourse...well, at least not in the way evolutionists like to envision it. "
My Biology 102 research paper says otherwise.
The evolution of photosynthesis (about 3 billion years ago during the Precambrian) was, of course, a very important step towards the origin and evolution of higher’ plants, and of other life forms on Earth. In particular, the origin of photosynthesizing bacteria, such as the cyanobacteria, and the subsequent origin of the eukaryotic lineage, the green algae, which had acquired chloroplasts through endosymbiosis, was critical for later stages of plant evolution. Polyploidy is also an important evolutionary process in the plant kingdom, due in part to the ability of plants to form viable (and sometimes fertile) hybrid progeny between closely related species.

It's called google. Use it sometime.
Yeah I agree Sporty, they're always thinking about sex aren't they ?? I mean constantly, they're constantly just thinking about all kinds of sick disgusting sexual practices. They never stop, they don't admit it but I know exactly what they're thinking about, people doing all kinds of things to each other. Dogs copulating with children while fat men smear each other with butter and women look on masturbating with spiked toys. Those sick bastards, that's all they ever think about, sex,sex,sex,sex,sex ... Wait a minute. Where did my pants go ??

Horticulturalists would like to have a couple of words with you. Those words are "cross pollination," or sex between two different types of plants.
@Tomby Stone (#809140): They never stop, they don't admit it but I know exactly what they're thinking about, people doing all kinds of things to each other. Dogs copulating with children while fat men smear each other with butter and women look on masturbating with spiked toys.
And they call it "The Aristocrats"!
Evos are obsessed with sex?
HUH? Talk about the pot and the kettle....
I learnt about plant reproduction several times in school. You must have missed every single time it was tough (maybe your parents heard the word reproduction and pulled you out of school)
True, plants do not have sexual intercourse, they do however have sexual activity, that's how they reproduce. The rest of your post is full of monumental fail.
'Science' isn't a sentient being, and as such, can't be 'interested' in anything.
Scientists on the other hand, are interested in many, many things. Even plant evolution. Ever heard of something called Botany?
Look who I'm talking to...
SS: I know you are not a big reader, but pick up an issue of "Plant Systematics and Evolution", "Systematic Botany", "Evolution", or the "American Journal of Botany" at some point. The pages of these journals are replete with studies of plant evolution and breeding systems.
"Replete" means "full of".

"I once had a passionate affair with a privet hedge"
I bet it had a nice bush
"I had to be very quiet so as not to wake the neighbors"
Which is why you had to do so in privet.
Whereas supersport should just make like a tree and leaf
"But since plants don't do any of that, then they're just simply less sexy of a topic"
supersport, you should stop beating around the bush here and get to the point.
"plants don't have sexual intercourse"
Why not? Old Viking's hedge also loves a mushroom. He's a fungi to be with. He provides her with instant grassification.
...I'll get my coat.
Feel free to add your own treemendously bad puns in this thread.
Would it squish your fundie little pea-brain mind if I pointed out that, since plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually, that it's entirely possible for a new species to form very quickly if a hybrid tetraploid is generated? Bananas are one example of this happening.
I mean, your real argument against evolution is that you don't want new species to be found- so it's pretty much game over for you.
Leaving aside the occasional leaf (salad), trunk (pineapple) or bark (cinnamon), the sexual organs of plants and related doohickeys are what we most prefer about them : their flowers, fruits and seeds. You, Supersport, couldn't be more wrong.
Plants can evolve, they can do it quite quickly through human intervention. Corn has evolved from a grass-like plant to what we know it as today, through the human intervention of carefully selecting plants from each generation that have the qualities they're looking for. There's your fucking proof. It just takes longer in the wild. Get a god damned education.

Your Argument Is Invalid
Ever hear about "the birds and the bees" in relation to The Sex Talk, dearie?
Humans are pretty much obsessed with sex, why shouldn't "evos" be just as obsessed as everyone else?
Chimpanzees and humans are both great apes; not really different types of animals at all. Different species; yes, different families; no.
In reference to evolution, homosexual sex is much less interesting than plant sex, stupid.
How the heck could we find evidence of homosexual activity between a Neanderthal and a chimpanzee? Neanderthals have been extinct for some 30 000 years.
The reason you've never heard about plant evolution is probably because anytime something seems to lead to knowledge or (gasp) science, you ram your fingers in your ears and start screaming LALALA at the top of your voice.
We never hear about plant evolution? We never hear about plant sex? The evolution of plants and their methods of reproduction was one of the first things covered in my Biology 101 class.

Oh, wait, it's Supersport. Never mind, that's a lost cause if I ever find one. Damn it, Supersport! I spent about twelve seconds of my life on Google images looking for a half-decent cladogram. Those are twelve secondsof my life that I'm never going to get back!
Fundys are more obsessed with gay sex than i am and a i am gay myself. This guy managed to bring it into a discussion. It probably comes from the fact that many species of anamals have gay sex, these scientis would love to find more so they can promote homosexuality. These scientests are anti god because they believe evoloution and are very eger to promote homosexuality. Fundies believe that there are individuals or very shadowy groups promoting all manner of bizarre and evil things.
New ideas and social changes must come from subtil promotion by nefairus individuals and groups instead of complex interactions..the conspericy is much easier to understand than the truth.
You are an idiot if you seriously think trees have to have penises and vaginas in order to reproduce/evolve.
So what about bacteria? Their evolution is very well-documented, and they don't have penises or vaginas.
Real translation:
"Oh! It just hit me [all over my face]. The reason why never hear about plant evolution is because {I'm totally fucking stupid.] don't have sexual intercourse...well, at least not in the way [normal humans] like to envision it.
See, [fundies] are obsessed with [butt] sex, especially if it's [sibling] sex or if it's between two different types of [cousins], like [my aunt-sister] and [my gramma-daughter].
But since plants don't do [it for me], then they're just simply less sexy of a topic.
[Fundies] only gets interested when [preachers] have harems or multiple [young altar boys], or -- of course -- if [there]'s any [repressed] homosexual activity going on...that as well gets [my repressed ass] real excited. I suppose the ultimate zenith for [fundies] would be evidence of [my own hand friend-zoning me because I'm too repressed to masturbate]."
Fixed that shit for you.
Fundies;
Obsessed with sex,
Obsessed with everybody else's sex,
Butt sex, animal sex, man on dog sex,
Sinful sex positions, sex for fun,
now plant sex,
Soon; homosexual Darwinian Evo plant sex with dead animals.
And they blame this on everybody else, instead of themselves.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
