Evidence for God from Science

Please do not take my disagreements personally, bc you seem like a reasonable guy. If you do want to debate works, please lay out your case. I am a former Catholic-so I understand the Catholic Church well. My whole family is Catholic, so I have debated this to the moon and fortunately, I have been a...

Thanks for the post and you are correct that he seems to have changed his position, but in no way has he solved the suppossed puzzle and his source material is sparse. If you think you can recreate a complete phylogeny based on 150 bones, you are on drugs. His conclusions are based upon his commitme...

JP was an energetic pope who did help get Catholics back to reading the Bible. In fact, that started happening after Vatican 2 when the Mass started being said in the local vernacular. A huge sin of the Catholic hierarchy was to keep the Bible out of people's hands and telling them that only the &qu...

Man Made ideas like purgatory and indulgences lead to a lazy Christian life and dramatically reduces evangelism.

Protestants did not cut the book of Maccabees out of the Bible. That is false. The Catholic Church added the book. The book is not included in the Jewish OT Canon because it was not considered to be inspired. Also, your point is completely meaningless because this happened before Jesus came to save ...

Your statement is laughable. Rana is more than qualified to discuss the whale phylogeny. Your special pleading is ridiculous as the facts are the facts and a peer reviewed post doctorate in biochemistry can discern basic science fiction writing even if it is dressed up as "fact". There are...

I was a Catholic for many years and here are the problems with the RCC: 1. They believe that Mary was born of a virgin. This is false. 2. They believe that you cannot know that you are saved until you are in heaven. 3. They believe that you must have good works plus faith to gain heaven. This is fal...

The discovery of two 50-million-year-old whales from the family Pakicetidae suggest that the previously thought link between the mesonychians and whales seems unlikely, according to Dr. Hans Thewissen (Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine). The fact that these fossils have more primiti...

Human violoence does not necessarily stem from separation of different groups. This is patently false. The number one cause of death is domestic violence and 85% of murders occur within family groups. Sexaul predation is typically commited intrafamily. Human violence comes about due to the threat of...

My sincere apologies Jbuza. Zenith - Thanks for the reply and in fact, the projections of deleterious mutations to beneficial mutations ranges from a low of 10K to one and a high of 10m to one. Macro evolution is mathematically impossible from a Neo-Darwinist standpoint. They may be teaching you thi...

"mutations and changes occur in every new generation, but only the ones that are advantageous or help the organism survive better will be passed on." Deleterious mutuations are absolutely passed on to their offspring. I learned that in my Freshman College Biology Class. The reason that you...

Your analysis of people "communally living" as a virtuos fact is not substantial. In fact, humans are the most destructive and murderous creatures on Earth. We are also dramatically sectarian and violently divided on philosophical, religious, economic, geographical and political lines. Als...

I think Borel's law states that the factor of 10 to the 200th is the crossing line for the statistically impossible. I would say that abiogenesis is metaphysical. Please look at the book Origin of Life by Rana to gain a thorough treatment of the different theories scientists are pursuing.

You responses have been very enlightening because it shows how twisted, weak and contorted your worldview is. Your statement that all fossils are evidence for transitional forms because we are all transitional forms not only begs the question, but is unscientific. There is not one piece of evidence ...

Jettlogic, Your statement is false that a DayAge interpretation is not literal. I am an Old Earth Creationist, but I take the Analogic Day view, which has strong support inside of the Christian Community, but more importantly, is very much ingrained into Ancient Hebrew Culture. Days 1 through 3 desc...
