| That's what I said. God didn't demand any human sacrifices in the old testament. |
| There was a commandment wich required continous animal blood to cleanse Israel from sins. It's all in the bible. Gogogo. |

Who cares if X supports Y? It doens't neccessarily mean it's true. If you want to learn the truth, you must investigate evidence yourself. You don't need to be a high-level scientist to understand and read a study about genetics. It's not selective reading either. You have this idea in your mind: if you read a scientifical study and absorb it, you become a staunt believer in evolution, or if you don't you are selectively reading. That's not the case at all. I read the study, and understand their opinion, and then I try to understand why exactly they believe is that. This makes it much easier to understand these people, and where they are coming from. Honestly, I believe they mostly believe in it, becouse they havent been taught to question. And why would they spend their time questioning evolution, if there is no personal gain from it? In fact, they might even lose their job. Ignorance is bliss. |

I have to agree with Hey00, the entertainment value I get from reading these creationist claims by some theists on this forum fills my day with joy.

Other religions cannot reach the divine joy and pleasure given to the saints who have faith in Jesus. Quote:
Only thing wich we can confirm in the nature to occur are spontantenous instances of specialization. One could say specialization fits the evolutionary theory, but I dsagree. The instances of specialization we can see in the nature are extremenely limited; and when we have such huge instances of specialization that evolutionits themself agree are huge, there is no evidence of any X species becoming Y and so on. There is a certain lizard with very regocnizable digestive trait, "evolved" over the span of 40 years, yet the Lizard looks just like any other moderday lizards does. Thus, these spontantenous instances of specialization cannot be used as evidence for macro-evolution. Moreover, it actually looks like some animals are actually simply programmed - in genes - to be able to adjust to their new surroundings. The Lizard's new digestive trait is a brilliant evidence of that. Yet, you wouldn't except a Zevra or Camel to be able to adapt to eating any kinds of meat, as those are simply programmed to be grass eaters with an excellent grass-eating stomatch and so on. At least not so from a creationistic standpoint. Quote:
Ignorance is bliss, huh? |

The only way I can make it fit is that god is either an ass trying to deceive us, he was drunk when he created man, or he's just plain stupid, but again, I am no religious specialist and god never spoke to me, so please, enlighten me, I can't bear my own ignorance!

It seems more and more that you have actually no idea what you are talking about. Humans share the exact same traits as all other apes share that no other family shares, thats why they are classified as apes, just like we share all traits that all animals share, that no other lifeform shares, just like we share all traits all organic lifeforms share that no other thing shares. Again, ape is no species, its a family of species, based on the commonalities between these species. So what you say is complete nonsense, because you cant prove that something is either human or ape, because humans are also apes. Proving a skull is from a human automatically means its an ape skull. Quote:
The classification is not even based on evolution. Its directly based on the traits all families and species share, so do you really argue that we do not share the exact same traits that all primates share? Just look up the definition of primates and check for yourself if you share the traits that are described there, you may be amazed. Quote:
There are many bones of ancestors which have similar traits to two or more species that currently exist, just as there are bones with traits similar to two or more species of these ancestors and so on and so on. If god only made the animals we currently have on earth, why do we find bones of extinct animals that are similar but not identical to one or more species currently alive? Quote:
To make it clear, just because certain changes took place over billions of years doesnt mean every other change needs the exact same amount of time. Quote:
Quote:
Actually no, by evolutionary margin, they dont have that huge differences, they are both part of the same family. (But huge is no objectively tangible figure without a relation like already stated the last time) All animals share also traits with animals from other species, but the classification looks at a set of traits only shared by one group. So no, by only knowing a few traits of an animal, you can easily mistake its species. Lets play a game, I say four traits you tell me which species I am talking about. The species I am talking about is carnivore, nocturnal, an agile climber and solitary. And did you guessed it? Probalbly not, because these traits are shared by all Felidae (the biological family of cats). So yes, they indeed display traits that could allow us to identify them as a different species. Quote:

To me it seems that you have a very incomplete understanding of biology and evolution and that your claims are based on misinterpretations and strawmans (like the "billion years" one). But if you can actually present evidence, I am glad to examine it. |
