Splifford the bat says: Always remember:

Just say no to narcotic drugs, alcohol abuse, and corrupt ideological

I fart in your general direction.
Well DNA evidence backs up the Bible.
NOVA Online | Lost Tribes of Israel | Tracing the Cohanim
According to biblical accounts, the Jewish priesthood began about 3,000 years ago when Moses anointed his older brother Aaron the first high priest. Ever since, the priestly status has been handed down from father to son through the ages.
If this hereditary tradition has been closely followed, the Y chromosomes of the Cohanim today should bear some resemblance to one another because of their unbroken link back to a common ancestor, Aaron.
Genetic studies among Cohanim from all over the world reveal the truth behind this oral tradition. About 50 percent of Cohanim in both Sephardic and Ashkenazic populations have an unusual set of genetic markers on their Y chromosome. What is equally striking is that this genetic signature of the Cohanim is rarely found outside of Jewish populations.
...
Cohanim chromosomes coalesce at a date that corresponds with when the priesthood is thought to have begun.
Still waiting to hear your theory.
Not a theory but this should differentiate you from others.
EMOR: Cohanim and The Illusion of Death
| In his book on the laws of mourning ("Gesher Hachaim"), Rav Tokachinsky related the following parable in order to explain the Jewish view on life after death: Twin brothers, fetuses in their mother's womb, enjoy their carefree life. Their world is dark and warm and protected. These twins are alike in all aspects but one. One brother is a 'believer' - he believes in an afterlife, in a future reality much different than their current, tiny universe. But the other brother is a skeptic. All he knows is the familiar world of the womb. Anything besides what he can feel and sense is an illusion. The skeptic tries to talk some sense into his brother, he warns him to be realistic, but to no avail. His brother naively insists on believing in an extraordinary world that exists after life in the womb, a world so immense and fantastic that it is transcends their wildest imaginings. The months pass, and the fatal moment arrives. Labor begins. The fetuses are aware of tremendous contractions and shifting in their little world. The freethinker recognizes that 'this is it'; his short but pleasant life is about to end. He feels the forces pressuring him to go down, but he fights against them. He knows that outside the womb, a cruel death awaits, with no protective sack and no umbilical cord. Suddenly he realizes that his ingenuous brother is giving in to the forces around them. He is sinking! "Don't give up!" he cries, but the innocent one takes no heed. "Where are you, my dear brother?!" he calls out. He shudders when he hears his brother screaming from outside the womb. His poor brother has met his cruel fate. How naive he was, with his belief in a bigger, better world! Then the skeptic feels the uterine muscles pushing him out too, against his will, into the abyss. He screams out ... "Mazal Tov!" calls out the doctor. "Two healthy baby boys!" |
I almost missed this double B.S.

Adolf the Darwinist
Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler
Volume One - A Reckoning
Chapter XI: Nation and Race
In both cases, Nature looks on calmly, with satisfaction, in fact. In the struggle for daily bread all those who are weak and sickly or less determined succumb, while the struggle of the males for the female grants the right or opportunity to propagate only to the healthiest. And struggle is always a means for improving a species' health and power of resistance and, therefore, a cause of its higher development.
Straight out of the Darwinist Handbook.
We'll be interested to learn of your fate as you try to colonize Jupiter or a magnetic star some day. Be sure to send us a post card. You are obviously sufficiently unaware of the part Earth's magnetic field plays in deflecting harmful solar activity. If I were you, I'd write to your bursar back at Starfleet Academy and ask for a refund.
2. The Earth's magnetic field has reversed itself many times in the past. It is always waxing or waning in one direction or the other.
In one direction or another, perhaps. No argumant there. Blinded by your mockery, the point lost on your inability to read and which you subsequently failed to address was that I was speaking of the inherent strength of the moment, not its position, which is tracked, and has found to be diminishing over time at a measurably and remarkably consistent rate.
Which you then, evidently, imbibe.
No, it is not. Cows bear cows, dogs bear dogs, humans bear humans. We see this every day. We do not see, have never seen a species transform itself into another.
Nonsense. The abolition movement had started long before Darwin ever published the Origin. In addition, England had been promoting abolition for decades before the Origin. If that were not enough, there is nothing in evolution supporting abolition. The racism is patent throughout Darwin's work:
"I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing more for the progress of civilization than you seem inclined to admit. Remember what risk the nations of Europe ran, not so many centuries ago of being overwhelmed by the Turks, and how ridiculous such an idea now is! The more civilized so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilized races throughout the world."
Darwin to Graham, July 3, 1881.
In man the frontal bone consists of a single piece, but in the embryo, and in children, and in almost all the lower mammals, it consists of two pieces separated by a distinct suture. ~~This suture occasionally persists more or less distinctly in man after maturity; and more frequently in ancient than in recent crania, especially, as Canestrini has observed, in those exhumed from the Drift, and belonging to the brachycephalic type. Here again he comes to the same nclusion as in the analogous case of the malar bones. In this, and other instances presently to be given, the cause of ancient races approaching the lower animals in certain characters more frequently than do the modern races, appears to be, that the latter stand at a somewhat greater distance in the long line of descent from their early semi-human progenitors.
Darwin, Descent of Man, Chapter 2.
I have also stated my alternate theory many times. Briefly: species are tremendously adaptable. They have a large gene pool which enables them to adapt to different environmental circumstances. This is how they were designed by their creator.
Just repeating the same old lies. I guess Francis Crick the discoverer of DNA is not a top-notch biologist?:
"An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going" (1981, p. 88, emp. added). "
from: Review of US News Article on Evolution.
Lying as usual. I guess that you, an inveterate atheist, understand the Christian religion better than Christians? The Pope's encyclical specifically says that any theory which states that man was created by material means is false.
If the human body take its origin from pre-existent living matter, the spiritual soul is immediately created by God. Consequently, theories of evolution which, in accordance with the philosophies inspiring them, consider the SPIRIT as emerging from the forces of living matter or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter, are incompatible with the truth about man. Nor are they able to ground the dignity of the person."
To properly understand the above we need to understand what epephenomenon means.
epiphenomenon, n, a secondary phenomenon accompanying another and caused by it.
Reading the above paragraph after understanding what epiphenomenon means one sees that he is saying, very clearly that man did not descend from lower species - the central theme of Darwinian evolution. In the next paragraph he says:
"With man, then, we find ourselves in the presence of an ontological difference, an ontological leap, ".
ontology, n, 1. a branch of metaphysics relating to the nature and relations of being. 2. a particular theory about the nature of being or the kinds of existence.
He is saying that man is beyond the realm of the physical, that man exists in the realm of the divine, not the material. He clearly states further that the Bible is the guide to man and the meaning of life. Further he had made prior to this the assertion that materialistic views are not acceptable and the following is to the point:
" In other terms, the human individual cannot be subordinated as a pure means or a pure instrument, either to the species or to society; he has value per se. He is a person. With his intellect and his will, he is capable of forming a relationship of communion, solidarity and self-giving with his peers. St. Thomas observes that man's likeness to God resides especially in his speculative intellect, for his relationship with the object of his knowledge resembles God's relationship with what he has created."
Great point! Moreover, what the evolutionists always ignore, is that Darwinism laid the foundation for Hitler's mass murders in the public mind. It legitimized such views. It called them science. Therefore Hitler just reaped what Darwin had sowed.
Materialistic Darwinian evolution is indeed anti-Christian and the Pope said so. Now what intrigues me Patrick is why you, a virulent atheist, should care a hoot about what the Pope says.
