No it isn't, read your own quote:

Do you need me to give you the definitions of the words "ever" and "happen"? You used those words, I assumed you knew their meanings.

And even so, sure, he didn't demand it, but he accepted it when he could have stopped it. Your god is an ass.

Quote:
There was a commandment wich required continous animal blood to cleanse Israel from sins. It's all in the bible. Gogogo.
And what sin exactly needed that human sacrifice? Do you even know what is the story of Jephthah? Apparently, you don't. But again, why would you know the book you consider so holy?

Quote:
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.
Who cares about peer review? Mmh, let's see, I dunno, maybe 99.9% of the scientific community? The one who consider the peer review process as an extremely important step of the scientific method? The same scientific community that researched the universe, improved our knowledge, achieved real success, and realized more in a few centuries than religion could ever in thousands of years?

But yep, you're probably right, peer review is completely useless. At the end of the day, it's not as if science worked, we'd know it, right?

You amaze me, continually. You're so ignorant about everything, from the universe to the bible, from genetics to culture, that it is hilarious. Keep up the good work

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.

You misunderstood. We were talking about the sacrifice of Isaac. Obviously, no sacrifice of Isaac ever happened in the bible.

Stop lieing by piling all of the different religions in the world together. There is only one way to reach to father in heaven and receive eternal joy, and that is through Jesus.

Other religions cannot reach the divine joy and pleasure given to the saints who have faith in Jesus.

Once again, I tell you this: there is no way to confirm that evolution happens on such a large scale in the nature, it has actually never ever been conclusively proven in the first place.

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.

I find it hilarious how locked you are in your world view to ever concider seriously investigating the matter and finding out the truth.

Oh, I see. But then, if lusting after a woman is the same as raping her, then surely, intending to murder is the same as actually murdering, right?

At the end of the day, your god's still an ass.

Sure, sure. And what about Thomas? Is he in hell?

But again, I can use my computer or fly in a plane, yet I still wait to see a concrete proof that anything claimed by religion actually exists.

Indeed, you're right, and it's not like all those who actually studied and researched genetics, biology, geology, archaeology, etc. would know anything more about evolution than we do, they are just stupid, brainwashed, or part of that worldwide conspiracy that wants to kill god and replace him with satan

What are centuries of research compared to a 2000 years old book and schizophrenia divine revelations?

Well, I actually did, and just to give you one point: human chromosome number 2. I'll be glad to read what delusion you're going to invent to make it fit in your claim (creationwiki is forbidden, be creative!). I expect great things from you on that point, don't disappoint me, ok?

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!

There's much more complexity when it comes to biological life it just cannot be measured the way that standard physics, like water can. So we must make premises. And there is where evolution goes wrong: it makes the premise that all life has same forefather.
Experiments with microorganisms are not physically observable?

Here is a little example of such experiements.

And what is your explanation? God made the diversity of life? This is not even an actual explanation because its missing the how and the why.

I dont need to believe you, you can simply show me the evidence that will, using your words, "amaze me". I am very interested in reading actual scientifical stuff, but you are not giving me any links. And everything I find on my own does only show me that you have actually no idea about biology and evolution.

Wait wait wait, isnt one of your arguments against evolution that we cant observe it directly? (Which is false, like already shown) Why is it different for your case? Why are you allowed to use indirect and anecdotal evidence, but when scientists do it you consider that insufficient?

Do you argue that you dont have the burden of proof when making a claim? Evolution, the phenomenon is observable, and as you said, you're not arguing against the phenomenon. Now the theory of evolution is very consistent, well-reviewed, there are many experiments supporting the content and there is currently no competing theory that is verifiable at all. I ask you to present us with your theory of evolution and show us the experiments which support your version. Creationism as in "god did it", is not verifiable at all, or do you have any experiments that would prove god created organisms like they are?

Thats why evolution 150 years before was very controversial. But with todays evidence, its widely accepted because its the most precise, consistent and verifiable explanation for the diversity of life we have today.

No, I say that because you did not present us with a shred of evidence. So less scientifical is not even appropriate, I should have said "not scientifical at all".

Let me say it slowly : Ape, is, no, species.

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.

Originated from monkeys? What the hell are you talking about? You have demonstratively no idea about the theory of evolution.
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.

The evidence for the traits organisms share and how we classify them by that? Are you serious?
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?

How many people on this forum already told you that evolution nowhere implies to take a certain amount of time, that the current theory of evolution refers to how long certain changes in reality needed, based on the circumstances and the evidence found. If findings imply that change X needed three billion years, does that mean every other change also needs as long?

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.

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.

Though you could argue a good person is good regardless of being atheist or not. Maybe. I dunno.
Evolution creates atheists? Couldnt you simply say that god made evolution? I dont see how evolution is relevant for metaphysics. Evolution may invalidate certain claims, like creationism, but beyond that, it has nothing to do with any metaphysical possibilities.

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.
