Bacteria make major evolutionary shift in the lab

Shhhhhh... you're speaking from a position of logic and education. Danger! Danger! Danger!

I'd continue, but my appendix is aching. And I strained my both my palmaris and subclavius yesterday!

If that's not specific enough for you, then you and C.S. Lewis are right, the Bible does not teach us How.

It is the specifics we are discussing. Just as God said 'let there be light', but he didn't give us specifics as to what light is. He didn't discuss photons, waves, energy components, etc. If one applied the same lack of specifics, then one would have to determine that light was just made up of God's voice.

The Bible does give us many clues as to how God created the world, unfortunately many people overlook the clues. For example, in Genesis it specifically states over and over: ..and the Earth brought forth.. Seems pretty obvious that God spoke the process into existence but the process he made involved a physical earthly process.

On the other hand. Here's proof that Pancakes are not flat.

Don't bring Rachel Corrie into this.

LoL

Microevolution X 3 billion = macroevolution.

[BibChr]

Hm; kinda football-shaped, if you ask me.

The bacterium changed species? If so, wow! If not, yawn.

Lots of differentiation within species. Nobody’s arguing that.

Explain to me the precambrian explosion please.

[shineon]

yah yah and 0 times infinity is some crazy number too.

[shineon]

uhhh - which one?
or

Now that you have accepted that the earth is not flat do you still accept the idea of a “young earth” of less than 10,000 years old?

Hmmm... I’ve been told that Creationism can’t be science, and yet this religion of evolution is,

because it is a experimentally repeatable theory.

So you’re saying that this is the first observation of such a change, and yet the evos have been spouting that evolution has been experimentally “proven” for years?

I guess that drawing of the evolution of Man must be the “proof”.

I’m going to go draw a picture of an alien as proof of aliens.

Zero times infinity is zero.

[MrB]

“Extravagant extrapolation”

Like, the earth’s temperature has risen half a degree, so soon it’ll be a ball of fire.

[BibChr]

The one that’s Earth-shaped.

[shineon]

I didn’t know infinity was a number, I thought it was an event that’s continually happening.

[BibChr]

Where are we going with this? A 10K-year-old football?

[mysterio]

Wikipedia has an article on it.

[patton]

That’s how calculus works - you add up a bunch of zeros, and get a non-zero answer (as in lim dx—>0).
