Quick creationists! Come up with something!

[baseline bum]

Dude your needle is stuck bump the turntable you can't wrap your head around this anymore than the snake handler can wrap his head around the ascent of man.

You'd make a good senator the way you can say stupid and then spin.

[nuclearfm]

NO you ing wouldn't you're an ideolouge.There are tons of sites like the NOI you choose to ignore them in your unrelenting search for the truth.
Some of the first and some of the present's most gallant and brilliant scientist have been men of faith, they found no problem with having both in thier lives. I don't see how lesser minds can not stop and ponder this before they start flinging arrows.

I don't have a problem with them either. Most people like that didn't confuse their lives with nonsense you're willing to propagate.

Ah yes.

The enlightened, powerful, elitist mind of the non-believer.

It is no easier to prove there is no God. Try it.

define God

[Blake]

Evolution might as well be a religion since it is operated on faith.

this gets my vote for best line

[Blake]

When you open your mouth doesn't come flying out? That is proof matter originates from the creator.

from you it does. I have proof.

[Blake]

.....you can't wrap your head around this anymore than the snake handler can wrap his head around the ascent of man.

wtf?

[mouse]

define God

Save us all some time answering you and look in the mirror. You seem to have all the God like qualities many look for in a Creator. Your strong,smart,and very talented. If only you could apply this same passion you use hating the Christians at ST and go to nursing school.
Just think you can work in the X-Ray department and carbon date peoples bones as you check for cancer.

Evolution is not theory.

It is verified, scientific fact - it happens.

Darwin's premise of "natural selection" is what is theory.

You don't help your cause by being ignorant.

[101A]

How do you reason the "bible" is that source, (I'm assuming the new testament) more of an authority than the Torah, or Quran alone. How do you reason it compared to other religions? You can't.

I'm not arguing against your "god". However, when you analyze the specifics of what your god's prescription in the bible, it doesn't hold much weight. Some things in that text are just flat lies, some can be construed as truths, but it takes some creative thinking.

You have to keep in mind, all of these books are written by man. When you give credibility to that book and man (or woman) in doing so, you lose credibility. Man (or woman) is in imperfect

Wow. I never thought of that!

There's other religions? Who knew?

It's not like I'm 41 years old, been through the very same logical, rational, very enlightened exercise you are going through now, and ultimately came out the other side with a different perspective.

rick ramashing and sir fred hoyle calculated the probability for one cell to evolve by chance. The atheist/agnostic team found to their disbelief that it is 1 chance in 10 to the 40,000th power years just for one cell to evolve. Hoyle said, "the chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable with the chance that 'a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a boeing 747 from the materials therein.'

Hoyle's Fallacy

[Wild Cobra]

Sorry Cowboy, I have to agree with ElNono on this.

The odds that one cell could change are so highly improbable, but when you throw in the mix of billions of star systems, billions of years, and countless molecules, etc, something remarkable can happen. Like the Poweball, but on a larger scale. The chances of any one ticket winning it is so ridiculously thin, but when you contemplate the hundreds of millions of games played, someone eventuality wins.

I am a believe of both evolution and intelligent design. I believe a higher power, may it be God(s) or aliens, had an influence on the natural development.

Scientific Theory isn't theory in the sense that I have a theory about who you voted for. If you knew anything about science you'd know that.

[spursncowboys]

You clearly stated you agreed that evolution is faith and now you're backpedaling because it's an incredibly stupid idea to try to equate scientific knowledge with blind faith.

You are thinking of me. Evolution isn't based on facts. Show me how it is. It is theories and ideas.

[Shastafarian]

Evolution is based on observations. Religion is based on a book of stories.

So there is factual data that shows humans coming from apes?

[Shastafarian]

So there is factual data that shows humans coming from apes?

Yeah. It's called genetics.

[hope4dopes]

?religon is based on a book of stories?

?religon is based on a book of stories?

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are based on books are they not?

[spursncowboys]

Evolution is based on observations. Religion is based on a book of stories.

Merrian Webster - evolution: a theory that the various types of animals and plants have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations.

[spursncowboys]

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are based on books are they not?

Christianity isn't.

[spursncowboys]

Yeah. It's called genetics.

That is not factual data that shows any organism evolved to a more complex organism.

[hope4dopes]

judaism, christianity, and islam are based on books are they not?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh..... Nah.

[spursncowboys]

...many evolutionary propagandists are guilty of the deceitful practice of equivocation, that is, switching the meaning of a single word (evolution) part way through an argument. A common tactic, ‘bait-and-switch,’ is simply to produce examples of change over time, call this ‘evolution,’ then imply that the GTE [General Theory of Evolution] is thereby proven or even essential, and creation disproved. The PBS Evolution series and the Scientific American article are full of examples of this fallacy.
Dr. Jonathan Safati

[Shastafarian]

Christianity isn't.

What's it based on then?

That is not factual data that shows any organism evolved to a more complex organism.

Partially it is. Then you could look at logous structures and the genes behind them. But you won't because you have no idea what I'm talking about

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh..... Nah.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh yeah
