Evolution versus Creationism

[sarawna]

Uh, if it is "evident" to only some, it is then not self-evident.

Some convenient philosophy you have there:
If I think it is true, it is therefore a universal truth and anyone who disagrees is "blind"!

Mercy, and you consider yourself superior to other animals! Thinking like that isn't superior to plants.

That's the most reasonable scientific explanation of a vast amount of evidence, most of which you've never even heard of and have no interest in learning. As for posting nonsense from those ignoramuses at the AnswersinGenesis website, why would anyone believe those liars? They have no understanding of science.

Just thought I'd pop in and offer some more evidence for Archie to completely ignore.

Try the Eusthenopteron.

You should visit this place. It is not far from me, and has all sorts of interesting stuff that would blow your mind (assuming yours hasn't wasted away from log time inactivity).

I patiently await your demonstration of supernatural reality by non-scientific means. One that would convince a non-believer like those so common in the Bible.

Still waiting for an answer!!!

[Rabbo J]

Maybe you should use logic instead of blind faith? To answer a question as to the existance of God you may want to consider: If he/she/it does exist would he/she/it condone the incalculable amount of slaughter that has and still is being perpetrated in the NAME OF RELIGION?
Is it a conscionable god that slaughters millions Jews, gypsies and countless other unwanted undesirables (including INNOCENT babies and children of these unwanted undesirables)...or the unwanted Chinese, Vietnamese, Turks, etc. Etc. Etc. Let

Bacteria, like all organisms, mutate for a variety of reasons, but most often due to changes in their environment - like exposure to anti-biotics for instance.
One, and I'm only giving one example here, of a human evolutionary trait is tails.
Human beings retain the genetic code for vestigial tails. We have additional genes that "turn off" the coding so that most people do not actually have tails. However, the coccyx, or tailbone, is the remnant of a "lost" tail.
All mammals have a tail at one point in their development. In humans, it is present for a period of 4 weeks, during stages 14 to 22 of human embryonic development. This tail is most visible in human embryos 31-35 days old. The tailbone, (at the end of the spine), was no longer needed to assist with balance and mobility. It still serves some secondary functions, such as being an attachment point for muscles, which explains why it has not degraded further. (Natural selection - evolution)
Since tails are part of our genetic code, and part of our embryonic development, why would God have made that little detail if He actually fashioned us out of "dirt".
Doesn't it make more sense that He guided the process of evolution, and when we were "ready" gave us our immortal souls "in His image?"

Well yes. Everything we believe in this world is based on faith. Nothing can ever be known for sure.



Not quite. You are using two forms of faith as one. UK's faith is not the same as your's. Do we know the sun will rise tomorrow? Not 100%, but based on historical data we are pretty sure. That's still faith. Your faith is something different, a belief in something without evidence entirely. You can't consider one faith that is based on reasonable assurances from history to be the same as a faith that has absolutely no empirical evidence.



Well that all depenRAB on what you define as "provable." I see science producing the wonders around me and the Modern World as evidence that its assumptions are indeed correct. After all, how can a incorrect assumption used time and time again be false when it leaRAB to tangible products such as petroleum deposits? How can the scientific methoRAB be unprovable when it is the foundation for the various new lines of products we enjoy daily? Does not the fact that these items exist prove that the scientific method is in fact viable, true and provable?



Then could you explain how all of these new products and the basis for the Modern World came about if the methoRAB we base our beliefs on aren't accurate or reliable? Are you saying that the atomic bombs we used on the Japanese didn't work?



Of course.



I recall that you did not want to address this issue when it was in the context of gasoline. Why do you keep using that argument when you deliberately want to avoid a discussion on it?



Which creator? Who's creator? And the foundation for life has been created in a lab, essentially by accident.



So God was the foundation for all of the advances?

[piglet28266]

Yes; because God gave it to us as His guide for living within His will. And if He is Truly God then He is worthy of that honor, trust and respect. By rejecting Him and His precepts we are elevating ourselves above Him and making ourselves like Him. According to His spiritual laws that is blasphemy and all who claim science over faith are guilty of that.

Not really. He seems to merely have a bit of knowledge about his sick, perverted version of god, but beyond that, his posts go to show that either he is lying about claim of being in his 50's, or he simply has not recieved any sort of education.
