Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design

No one knows exactly how it happened. To claim otherwise is disingenuous. There are plenty of good hypothesis though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis That is a topic for another thread though. Let's keep this one about evolution. Call it a hypothesis, call it a theory, or call it chicken n...

Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design

Pierson5, The explosive nature of the Cambrian is with the appearence of almost every phyla that has ever existed. In China, the record shows that it happened in only 3-5 million years. http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/filesDB-download.php?command=download&id=639 Your pointing to the app...

Re: YouTube...

Well we are not too happy about the atheists religion either. Their religion is based on faith and has destroyed many peoples lives. Could you elaborate on this? I love Youtube, so your post struck a chord with me. As for Youtube being a breeding ground for hatred, I think censoring people with opp...

Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design

Creatism is a make believe "science". In reality, creatism is no where near a "science" but merely a wish/make-believe sort of a thing for all those persons who believe they believe "in the word", but are faced with real science but still need an answer to all their qu...

Re: AnswersinGenesis

Phew, I guess I got the wrong impression of the site from the discussions a few weeks ago. Glad to see the majority isn't fundamentalist YEC's. I am curious, why do YEC's believe the things they do? I have looked through the Bible and can't seem to find anything that points to <10,000 year old eart...

Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design

Pierson5, 6. Molecular clocks confirm paleontological estimates of metazoa phyla origins Analyzing several genes in a variety of metazoa, Ayala et al. 1998 found that their molecular clock approximations of the origins of the animal phyla corresponds to physical data from the fossil record. Their c...

Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design

No one here denies that evolution plays a role in science.. The question is what it can do and can't do. As far as creating life, evolution doesn't even address that specifically. Also, science isn't into asking ultimate questions.. People who mix their philosophy into their science ask that questi...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

I proposed the idea (let me talk to the pastors and choose the church) to my girlfriend. She said she wanted to choose, so I didn't really get anywhere. Hi Pierson5. May I know why she did not let you choose? You seem to be a friendly guy. I think you together should choose the pastor. That's my hu...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

One day I told him that grandpa would not always be here with him and introduced the idea of death by mistake. My answer was I would go to heaven. He told his grandmother who decided this might be a bit heavy for him but he seemed settled with the idea but, wanted to know what heaven was. I'm an ag...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Really? After I gave you that long winded explanation with fossil evidence, I have yet to provide ANY evidence? Did you even read what I wrote? Again with the "drawings." They were based off of fossils from an article published in Nature. If you really want to see them, fine: http://bit.l...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

You do realize we have methods to date these layers of rock right? I never said lower layers = older. Older layers = older. We don't have to rely on what we observe. Do you realize that ALL dating methods require assumptions that can't be proven? I am well aware of the differences in forensic scien...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Like the above. +1, and welcome to the site Moonstroller. I agree with a lot of what you said, but do have a couple concerns, I'll address when I get a little more time :D There is simply no whale that has rear legs. There are whales that have appendages. Of course we know whales have flippers. So,...
