Can you give me an example? I'm learning while I lurk!
Here's one of the more striking examples, although there are many more mundane cases as well:
Technical papers:
Ring species as bridges between microevolution and speciation (the Greenish Warbler material starts about halfway in)
...and your point might be...?
How very convenient of your personal thesaurus.
I have no "personal thesaurus". What exactly are you incoherently trying to say here?
Tell that to democrats.
I repeat the question.
Jack Chick knows more astronomy, cosomology, physics, chemistry, and biology than all you fancy scientists combined!
A comic placemarker.
Tonight, being the darkest, longest night of the year, is the best night to go and see all the "Christmas" lights in your city. I think the tradition of Christmas lights has really caught on in America because it's symbolic of Man's rational minds building a world where December 21st doesn't have to be the darkest, dreariest, most miserable day of the year.
(It seems even more appropriate to celebrate the lightbulb up here in the Pacific NW, where the sun will set at 4:20 in the afternoon!)
After doing the tour of the lights, hubby & I will top off the evening at Krispy Kreme, which is symbolic of... um, well, I'm not sure about that part. :-)
He sprung from the same gnostic, anti-God, theosophical, socialistic materialism which birthed many 19th century "thinkers."
When studying history as well as science, it's important to see the timeline and context clearly.
The money behind Darwin created Darwin, et al.
All mathematics is based upon mutually-agreed upon "givens" which cannot stand up to intense scrutiny without a handshake and a wink. It works to get airplanes in the air and it works to create aspirin to get rid of a headache.
But the deeper questions confound mathmematics and science just like they do the bushman in Africa and the first-grader in Peoria. They answer those questions with more numbers...endless numbers in endless mazes. And still they're only guessing; still they can't cure cancer or stop Africa from being destroyed or keep the earthquakes at bay or explain why Angelina Jolie represents UNICEF.
"Could I get that in English?"
NO
"And the astute reader will note the large difference between the current version, wherein JMT asserts that "all he said" was that we are "obsessed with the flesh", and the original, "they are completely obsessed with their flesh". "
Either statement "obsessed with the flesh" or they are completely obsessed with their flesh". Pick either one.
Paranoid much?
No. Nice attempt.
"That's nice and all, but it fails to answer the question I posed. You wanted to see an evolutionist address a certain point you were interested in, and I'm trying to answer it, but I need clarification on what specifically you're asking about.
Once again, are you going to provide the clarification, or are you going to admit that you don't really want an answer after all? If the latter, are you going to stop complaining that "The E crowd never addresses this either they are completely obsessed with their flesh", since it's becoming apparent that you run away from honest attempts *to* address it?"
Here we go again, before I was insulting and now you question my honesty.
Why would I choose to discuss with you anything when you do the very things you accuse me of doing.
Is that your final answer or are you just nuts?
You waitin' for theme music or something?
"I would think that most biological scientists would be very interested in finding scientific evidence for the existence of the soul. It would probably lead to immense fame, Nobel prizes, wealth, etc."
LOL, By the way I have a relative in search of "immense fame," (not sure about the "Nobel prizes"), "wealth, etc.", we do not discuss the existence of the soul as he believes you live and you die. Belief in the existence of the soul would require him to live life with accountability to the Creator and life would not be as much fun. He calls that a crutch.
His pet name is the professional welfare beggar.
No.
"Festival of the Trolls who had too much Eggnog" placemarker
BWAHAHAA! (in tears)!
The Nobel committee might want to have that toilet bronzed for posterity.
Hardly seems sporting, really...
Because I'm still trying to discuss something of substance with you. Let me know if you are, or if you're just here for the banter and to slur people as "completely obsessed" and so on.
You earlier stated that you had never seen an evolutionist address a certain point. Now I'm beginning to see why -- when they try, you start questioning their motives, their mental state, and your own willingness to have a discussion.
Now, one more time -- do you want to discuss that point you raised, or are you just jacking me around?
If you don't agree with my rants.....ad hominem!
I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but this one isn't very good.
All mathematics is based upon mutually-agreed upon "givens" which cannot stand up to intense scrutiny without a handshake and a wink.
...and you've been smoking *what* today? That's the most bizarre description of "premise" I've ever seen. And, of course, it's quite incorrect.
It works to get airplanes in the air and it works to create aspirin to get rid of a headache.
...thus indicating that it's based on more than just "mutual agreement" that "cannot stand up to intense scrutiny"... It stands up to reality -- the most intense form of scrutiny there is.
But the deeper questions confound mathmematics and science just like they do the bushman in Africa and the first-grader in Peoria.
"Just like"? Hardly. Is English your first language?
They answer those questions with more numbers...endless numbers in endless mazes.
Apparently not...
And still they're only guessing; still they can't cure cancer
Sure they can -- just not every single time. You don't read much, do you?
This thread is a veritable clinic on snake-handling. yeesh!
