I wasn’t aware anyone still believed in evolution. Even most non Christians I know don’t believe Darwin. Darwin himself before he died even admitted that he didn’t believe his own theory.
Lots of people will admit to intelligent design, but still refuse to acknowledge God too.
Darwin’s theories
Man came from apes so why do we still have apes?.
I scanned through Wiki.
Summers got his PhD at age 27 (not the youngest).
He became a tenured full professor of economics at Harvard at age 28 - which was the youngest STEM professor in modern times.
Remarkably, Summers is now back at Harvard, as a full professor and the Director of an endowed “Center” at the Kennedy School of Government.
I killed my 7th grade teacher on eveloution I asked
“What killed the dinosaurs? “
“A giant asteroid”
“How?”
“ well when the asteroid hit, it threw all the dust in the air, blotted out the sun and we had the ice age”
“ how long was the ice age?”
“Thosands of years!”
“ how thick was the ice?”
“ some say thousands of feet high”
“ so let me get this straight, reptiles get wiped out, ice covers the planet were vegetation can’t grow, the sun comes out one day and melts the ice, and suddenly there are mammals. Is that something Darwin just forgot about?”
She never taught Darwinism to our class again.
“In other words, he isn’t a biologist.”
neither was Darwin ...
“Each cell has over 3 Gbits of error-free information “
Obviously posted by a misguided person.
Thanks,my source was wrong!
“I wasn’t aware anyone still believed in evolution.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The percentage of U.S. adults who believe that God created humans in their present form at some time within the last 10,000 years or so — the strict creationist view — has reached a new low. Thirty-eight percent of U.S. adults now accept creationism, while 57% believe in some form of evolution

And a biologist isn't a mathematician ...

Where have we heard this before?
Oh yes. Nobel Prize winning physicist points out absurdities in Global Warming claims.
He's not a Climate Scientist scream the true believers.
Argument by authority has no place in science.
“He became a tenured full professor of economics at Harvard at age 28 - which was the youngest STEM professor in modern times.”
Economics is not STEM.
Hey Tex. My favorite all hat no cattle true believer on the dark side.
I’m still waiting for you to address “there are no examples in scientific literature showing that “mutations that affect early development and the body plan as a whole and are not fatal.””
Show us your cattle if you have any.
Yes, I always look to comedians for wisdom and knowledge.
If man evolved from monkeys
Does ANYBODY seriously propose that Man (as we exist today) evolved from monkeys (as they exist today)? This looks like a straw-man argument from the same sort of person as thinks that the question "Why do we park on the driveway and drive on the parkway?" is funny.
It's called "reusable code". Intelligent designers do it all the time.
Is this sacrifice of the individual for the survival of the population something a loving intelligence would design in?
Apparently, He did. Perhaps He is aware that there's more to Man than biology. Perhaps He wishes to relate to Man spiritually, rather than just biologically. Or perhaps some people have forgotten that (according to Genesis) death only entered into creation after Man sinned. It wasn't part of the original design.
Speaking for myself only, I use the term "elegant".
When someone doesn’t give an expert level critique of comparative anatomy and comparative genomics when he is claiming that evolution is false, he isn’t to be taken seriously.
Saying he isn’t a biologist is an act of kindness.
“When someone doesn’t give an expert level critique of comparative anatomy and comparative genomics when he is claiming that evolution is false, he isn’t to be taken seriously.”
Thanks for responding.
Have you read the article in Claremont Review? I have not yet, but downloaded the PDF.
Did he address genomics?
Very well stated.
That doesn’t take into consideration others that still believe in intelligent design.
On another note, FR I find is usually full of intelligent people, so I’d be very shocked to find anyone here believing in a theory (evolution) that has been debunked so thoroughly and so many times by secular and Christian sources that I lost count. I would really think FR wouldn’t have anyone of such dubious intelligence levels though.
But this is not an ordinary memory storage device. Each coil is only 3.4 nanometers across (by comparison, the human hair is 50,000 nanometers thick), and, if stretched out would be approximately 80 inches long. Yet if this information were stored in books, they would fill 48 feet of library shelves – or, in computer terms, over 3 gigabits of data. Yet we cannot even see it with the naked eye! It took over 100 engineers 5 years to write this much code for Microsoft, and they are still de-bugging it!
The truly amazing part, however, is what is written in this code. On June 26, 2000, in a ceremony at the White House, President Clinton was to say, “Today, we are learning the language in which God created life. We are gaining ever more awe for the complexity, the beauty, and the wonder of God’s most divine and sacred gift.” Where else would this code come from? In the same ceremony, Dr. Frances C. Collins, who led the effort to decode the entire human DNA, was to remark, “It’s a happy day for the world. It is humbling for me, and awe-inspiring, to realize that we have caught the first glimpse of our own instruction book, previously known only to God.”
Somebody IS misguided, indeed . . .
Well done. It’s the same at the graduate level. They can’t answer questions about evolution but instead of retreating, they mock your for not accepting their religious dogma.
