    Faith in evolution? Allah? Jesus?

    No. I'm a Christian, but as I and others have pointed out numerous times in this thread and provided examples, evolutionary science doesn't require faith, we instead require evidence.

    Congradulations Christian brother, 8) :clap: why couldn't Jesus as an omnipotent God use evolution then?

    Do ya believe in the strict bible, (as written), or Jesus Christ hissef?

    Evolution / Darwinism definately requires lots and lots of faith.

    Show me yer "evidence" of species to species evolution, or genus to genus or even phylum to phylum evolution, please. :roll:

    Ya actually think a salmon is related to a horse, (other then the fact that they are carbon based vertebrates livin' on the same planet)?

    Evolution is all theory, which changes frequently, as bits and pieces of "evidence" blow up huge chunks of said theory.

    Not talkin' 'bout dogs, tulips et al, butt: phylums indicating a common source.....

    Yer "evidence" is yer faith in evolution....., and as a "man of faith" you should be able to recognize faith when ya see it.

    No need for congratulations, but thanks anyway. Belief in Jesus takes no faith, it's a historical fact that he walked the earth and was killed by the Romans, the only aspect that requires faith is whether he was divine.

    He certainly could use evolution to create humanity, but we're now able to describe the scientific processes through which it occurred.

    No, it was written by men, men are flawed.

    Repeating a lie doesn't make it so.

    Such as bacteria completely changing their chemical makeup in response to stimuli? Or we can use fossil records to point to our own ancestors and can confirm our connection to them genetically. We could also point to species in the midst of evolutionary changes such as the lung fish. Don't let your microscopic time frame hinder you here.

    Of course not, but life began in the sea, all life at some point something similar to a lung fish made it way unto land, and over the course of hundreds of millions of years of mutations and natural selection we arrive at the gigantic amount of diversity that we now have.

    Exactly, the goal is to disprove it, the fact that the banner is still being waved despite many attempts to falsify it is evidence of the strength of the theory. We don't prove anything in science, only state a hypothesis and put it out there to be disproved. I've yet to see anyone do that yet.

    This is the theory because we're all, plants, animals, fungus etc are all made up of the same "stuff", all life on this planet is made up of the same biochemical material, as I'm sure you know we decoded the human genome recently and were stunned to find how similar it was to even the most simple life forms on earth.

    Repeating a lie doesn't make it true. My evidence is observable, reproduceable and empirical.

    did you know that quietly the scientist that were previously behind the primordial soup theory have now backed off that and say that is not an option? :sunnysideup:

    "Belief" in Jesus is not the same as accepting the historical evidence of his existence. Ya said you were a "man of faith", are ya?

    Could be.....

    10-4

    I'm not a liar, so I don't repeat lies.

    I guess that is one of the huge differences between a "man of faith" that is Cornservative and a "man of faith", (yer werds), that is an angry Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Commie/Statist, eh?

    We disagree on many things, n' I don't call you a lair, you maybe full of Commie kool aid, n' miss-informed, butt: I can't read yer mind so I have no basis ta call yer horse poop lies....
    :roll:

    4.5 billion years is "microscopic" ta you eh: Einstein? :roll:

    Ya think yer stating evidence of: {"Show me yer "evidence" of species to species evolution, or genus to genus or even phylum to phylum evolution, please"}?

    Does yer brain werk?


    That's the theory: Einstein..... I see no "evidence" of yer religion yet.... :fart:

    The goal is to prove theories not disprove them: Einstein. All the rest of yer horse poop in this segment is jus' drivel.... n' an attempt at deflection.

    Why should that be such a surprize if there is a God, (as I believe), who set the rules fer life on this particular planet in this particular universe? Other planets may have very different life....

    I don't lie, so I'm not "repeating a lie": Einstein.

    What "evidence"?

    The only "evidence" you have stated or rather: shown; is that of severe Commie kool aid cornsumption.... burp...

    You've failed to address any of the evidence/links I've prevented so far. Your only rebuttal is the "commie kool aid" schtick that does nothing for your case other than giving the appearance that you wish to remain ignorant.

    I'm sorry if being called a liar offends you, but you are being dishonest about what I've clearly presented. By definition, you are a liar. You can continue to hide from the evidence if you like, you can even continue to lie and say that I have no presented it, but everyone reading can see your fraud. So now it's put up or shut up time, refute the evidence I've clearly presented or admit you have no counter argument other than hiding.

    You have presented zero "evidence". :roll:

    I doubt you understand what the werd "evidence" means. :eye:

    I don't debate C & P.

    You jus' like to call people you don't know liars, when ya get owned and very frustrated and uptight on an internet board. A fresh set of panties could help ya calm down.... :fart:

    I suggust you stick yer hear in the ol' terlet n' flush a few times ta help clear yer Commie kool aid fog.....
    :toilet:
