Good acid?
Good acid?
I agree with that totally.
Fundamentalist aethist is not quite a contradiction in terms.
It is one thing to have formulated a worldview, it is quite another to be a total jackass about it.
We have come to understand the nature of the development of the human brain fairly well.It may only take the evolution (sorry Mouse) of our brain capacity, or it may be that it's not a supernatural occurrence, only a natural process we fail to understand.
Again, if god is the one who set these occurrences into motion, how can he be above what we deem "natural.
Again, I fail to see why ANYONE would shut of the possibility to further our knowledge. My issue is not what they believe, but their steadfast belief that they are indisputably right.
Science can prove lots of things, but even those things aren't truly absolute. Fact, the freezing temperature of water is 32F, unless it's salt water. Hmmm, variable leads to different outcome. Not so absolute when you have to make a distinction.
The only absolutes we have are mathematical, and even math has theories.
Again, I believe in science, hence why I want science to further my knowledge of our world and universe instead of shutting off certain things because "we don't like them."
It is simply a combination of traits that provided a reproductive edge over populations of hominids that didn't have them.
Human beings, even before the industrial revolution, had spread to every climate and area of the globe.
Communication, tool usage, and the ability to reason abstractly seemed to have been an explosive combination.
Fair enough. AD wasn't a simple typo/misspelling of ID.
My apologies for making an incorrect assumption in that regard.
That said, it still draws massively from ID in both form and substance.
Same bad logic, same lies, same distortions of science.
If you have to lie to people to make your case, your case isn't worth listening to.
lmao religious people who get all insecure and butthurt about evolution. If you believe you have to make a leap of faith. Not a leap of ignorance, which ignores science.
You did not answer my question. It was not rhetorical.
I think the application of the word "faith" in this manner cons utes little more than a strawman fallacy.
Do you have faith that purple unicorns do not exist?
They have hundreds of scientific papers every year published in the field of biology, genetics, and physics. The theory of evolution makes verifiable, testible hypotheses that have been borne out time and time again, much to the consternation of creationists of any stripe, ID/AD etc.
We have observed new species being formed in nature, have observed the natural formation of new species in tightly controlled lab experiments, constructed down to the exact genetic level the precise mechanisms of evolution and speciation, and increase our ulative knowledge with each passing year.
Against this there is what? A mildly interesting do entary detailing a few theories that you find emotionally appealing?
That's what you are going with? Really?
To my knowledge you have never completed a college level physics, chemistry, algebra, trigonometry, statistics, genetics, biology class.
It is as if you are attempting literary criticism of another languages classic works after being taught by the friend of a friend how to ask where the toilet is.
Do you really think you understand the science well enough to state conclusively that the theory of evolution is being discredited?
I don't understand why persons like this can't answer a simple question.
So then I take it you don't want to hear anymore I have to say and have no further comments to add. I did get a merit badge three days before my Cub scout master's son back in 1974 does that count for anything?
It's simple according to RamdomLie he's not qualified to answer.
To my knowledge you have never completed a college level physics, chemistry, algebra, trigonometry, statistics, genetics, biology class.
If you want to claim that a theory "is slowly dying", but you lack the background to understand the theory, much less explain it to anyone, you open yourself up to such questions.
Define the theory of evolution then.
Show me you understand it, because you continually make statements that directly go against modern understanding of the process.
Evolution draws from Beauty and the beast so what's your point?
If your going to split hairs and compare each word this closely then your 9/11 debate replies in the politics forum will have to be modified as September 11th draws from pear harbor.
Isn't that just your personal opinion? Same could be said about Evolution and other subjects. If your so against alien life and think the history Chanel is so full of shouldn't you be E-mailing them instead of wasting your time with an uneducated person as myself?Same bad logic, same lies, same distortions of science.
Proof of such lies?If you have to lie to people to make your case, your case isn't worth listening to.
A discussion of faith does not hinge on much education.
A discussion on the scientific merits of a theory and whether it "is dying"... does.
Nice try, but no banana.
Save your banana for your Ape ancestors.
And why are you responding to an uneducated liar?
whoops.
Did plantains evolve into the banana? Or vice versa?
Probably a common ancestor, much like apes/chimps/humans. Honestly, I don't know though.
As if you can cause any intelligent person to feel shameful for having a common ancestor with monkeys....a load of time ago.
In fact, we are apes, mouse. Wikipedia is a great tool, you should honestly be on it hours a day to educate yourself for free. Very organized information.

You humiliated?The Hominidae (anglicized hominids, also known as great apes[notes 1] or humans and great apes), as the term is used here, form a taxonomic family, including four extant genera: chimpanzees, gorillas, humans, and orangutans.[1] In the past, the term was used in the more restricted sense of humans and relatives of humans closer than chimpanzees.
Mouse, you're an ape!!!! What are you gonna do about it,? OR you can just not give a , being a human is pretty damn great.
You do know that mouse will ignore your response and bring up the same exact thing again, right?You humiliated?
Mouse, you're an ape!!!! What are you gonna do about it,
Banana trees are sterile hybrids, like mules. They are propagated by splicing sections of a tree off and planting the e.
This makes them uniquely vulnerable to diseases and insects. Since they can't be evolved to develop resistance.
The current global supply of these sterile hybrids is being ravaged by both, and is currently estimated to be commercially unviable within 20 years or so.
I read this somewhere in an Economist artile (NPR maybe?), but the wiki article backs this up.
It also states that this happened to at least one previous early variety.
To answer your question, current bananas were cross bred by very adept farmers over a hundred years ago.
You wanted me to point out a lie on your part and there it is.
Humans did not evolve from apes. No one has ever claimed otherwise.
Want to claim we evolved from snails next?
As I said before, you can't even get the theory you are attempting to debunk right, how are we to take your word that it is "dying"?
Same bad logic, same lies, same distortions of science.
Up is not down, left is not right, and blue is not red no matter what my opinion.
Logic follows certain rules and can be easily, readily determined. It does not matter what my opinion is, but what does matter is the circular logic, and provable logical fallacies you use continually to support your irrational belief system.
I feel little need to catalogue them for you again at this point.
It generally boils down to cicular logic and ad hominem for the most part, both specific terms within the study of logic. I would say look them up, but I have given you the definitions and explanations time after time after time.
I'm not "against" alien life. I am sure it exists.
I don't think aliens had a hand in our evolution though. There is little to no evidence of it.
There is even less evidence that our planet is 6000-10000 years old.
As for the History Channel, I love 'em. History, Science, and Discovery channels are my idea of a good time.
That doesn't mean I am going to believe everything I see on the History channel is outright gospel. They do occasionally supply a platform for interesting stuff like the ancient alien show, but one has to take such stuff with a grain of salt.
There is some intriguing, unexplained stuff out there, but it hardly rises to any level of certainty by any scientific metric.
As if you can cause any intelligent person to feel shameful for having a common ancestor with monkeys....a load of time ago.
So if you found out your mom had sex with Koriwhat would it be ok as long as it was a laod of time ago?
Or would it still matter, think about it you knowing your part of Koriwhat's sperm? to be honest it creeps me out and i am not in your shoes.
also.....all the info your used to believing in is changing daily..even the most ignorant evolutionist will admit science is always learning and changing.
example one day sunlight is goo for you the next year its bad for you. At one time tobacco was good for you science backed it up.
So why would you be so hard headed to change and new discovers is that a problem you have processing information?
Your who life evolves around Wikipedia?In fact, we are apes, mouse. Wikipedia is a great tool, you should honestly be on it hours a day to educate yourself for free. Very organized information.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_ape
Do I need to post the millions of Wikipedia posting that had to be removed due to no proof?
http://www.wikipedia-is-wrong.com/
Find out who removed my tail and sue them.Mouse, you're an ape!!!! What are you gonna do about it
I used to respect your input.
One of the things that differentiates apes from monkeys is the lack of a tail, FYI.
