"Changing One Gene Launches New Species" about Wu's efforts at the U of Chicago three years ago. I search him out once in awhile to see if he's ever made that fly he promised.
Make your own link, if you've a mind'ta. Some scientists with brainpower know how to search.
Otherwise you would post the link. I remember the thread. I just don't think it means what you think it means. I would like to see it again.
Once again, attempting to control the debate by defining terms to suit yourselves. You can make a list--you can spam it and spam it--we'll see if you can enforce it. You clearly can't persuade, so enforcement is the only other option.
I'm controlling debate by asking you to use words within hollering distance of their common definitions? When did I do that "once before"? Did the two fruit fly populations in question fail to procreate, or not? Do you know what speciation means--or do you just prefer the "uncontrolled" form of debate where you hold your breath and turn blue until you get your way?
I said 'appears.' Viewed from a distant point, any planet 'appears' to be supported by nothing.
[...And if God was all-powerful, He wouldn't require a sacrifice to forgive sins...]
"No greater love hath a man than one who would lay down his life for another". (John 15:13)
While God is all powerful, He is also an all loving gentleman. He wants our love through free will, not through force. Since He cannot look upon sin, Jesus became our way to God. When God looks at us, He sees His Son (who is without sin).
While God is all powerful, He demonstrated a Godly love by laying down His life. And no... He didn't have to. He WANTED to. I stand in awe of this amazing love toward me and you.
Go to older articles and don't use exact phrase function button. Glad to help.
[...common animals did get convicted of crimes in the middle ages...]
And that is why is it often referred to as the DARK AGES.
Did you check the link I posted before? Did you read the text?
So you want to stick to informal, common usage? Aren't you getting off the plantation?
Well said Wolf!
Exchanging posts with Demen is like playing with a jack-in-the-box with a broken latch ;o)
Naw. Just applying logic.
Tried that with the same result. You made a claim. Now put up.
"And that is why is it often referred to as the DARK AGES."
I'm not defending it, just reporting. :)

If He was infinitely just He would not kill an innocent, would He?
Note, my argument is not against the existence of God, my argument is against certain concepts of God.
Bag man.
js1138 can't find this thread, is that what you're saying? I think you just don't want to.
" Did you check the link I posted before? Did you read the text?"
Yes, I did. I want citations of specific fossils in specific museums that are faked.
LOL... I know that there's no capital "C" in the man's name.
"I see it as much of an attack by science on religion. That's the problem. The science classroom should teach evolution as the theory that science accepts. It should not attack people's beliefs in intelligent design, and that's the biggest rub. There are professors who punish students who do not give up their religous views. This kind of bigotry in the scientific community is uncalled for. There are extremes on both sides."
I strongly agree with you.
