How can someone observe, study or experiment on evolution? Evolution is the process of something moving from one stage of development to another. What do we really have to scientifically prove evolution?
A scientist might have a fossil, but we can only speculate as to the age and appearance of the animal creating that fossil. No one has ever witnessed evolution of life, no one here now was there to observe, study and experiment. Like it or not, we can only form theories and beliefs about what might have been. As sound as these theories might be, they are and will always be theories. Evolution is simply a system of belief based on what we think might have happened. Those who believe in evolution have faith in the scientists abilities to speculate and imagine what might have been. This is not science. This is faith.
It is time we removed the phony and inaccurate label of science from evolution and see it for what it really is - a religion, based on faith and a system of belief. If public schools are not allowed to teach religion, then the theories of evolution have no place in a public school classroom. If they are allowed to teach theories based on faith, like evolution, then creationism should be taught also.

The all the fowl the could have been made from the water were, all the fowl that were made from the ground were. hence water fowl and land birds.
Actually there are alot of reputable scientists that know evolution is not supported by facts, especially the fossil record. I could find the names of many if you would like. Your side doesn't have a monopoly on the truth as your dark side wants you to think.
You don't get it. It does not say "all the fowl that could have been made from the water", nor does it say "all the fowl that were made from the ground". You're making everything up.
I do not see the point in continuing with this conversation. We are discussing the bible, and you're not even reading it.
I am not really up on genetics...so I dont know if the gene(s), for no wisdom teeth is(are)dominant or recessive...but if a dominant trait, then indeed, that would weed out the trait even quicker...I was just glad that both my boys, like their dad, had no wisdom teeth...
I remember when my husband, myself, my older son, and my younger son, all had to take a blood test for compatibility with my older son...my husband, my younger son, and my older son all tested out at being blood type O+...I however tested out as being A+...I remember the doc telling me that I had to have an O+ gene for blood type, but O+ was always recessive compared to A+...so we could figure that I had a gene for A+ blood and also a gene for O+ blood...but both my sons obviously received an O+ gene from their dad,(as he was already blood type O+)and in both instances, they received the O+ gene from me, rather than the A+ gene...it was a 50-50 random shot as to which gene they would get from me, and it proved to be a case of 100percent of my children getting the recessive gene from me...
That is the one time I got a little lesson in genetics from a doctor...it found it very interesting...
My mother had none. I had only two.
These "profs" were PhD holding professors in the SUNY system.
Maybe RW should stick to "high-fiving" his fellow creos.
I'm a big ole giant CSICOP fan. The name Art Bell repulses me about as much as the name Hillary Clinton. :-)
I like Teller, but Gillette's voice gets on my nerves.
Got any new drugs to help you with your problem?

What say you??
Get their names. Please make sure you quote them in context. And please don't give use the usual "converted scientists" crap. Supply specific scientific argumentation on why they now turn their back on evolution.
Your side doesn't have a monopoly on the truth as your dark side wants you to think.
Oh no, my young Creationist. You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things.
I take that as a no.
You should consider some support groups.
What I am doing is exposing the problems with hubristic literalism.
I don't talk about posters behind their back.
This ought to do the job for him:
Now I don't think we should start a thread on Bible tranlations. Yes I know the history of the "Textus Receptus", (received text) used for translating the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek into the language spoken by the people in 1610. I also know that all the other translations are not from the T.R. and that they were taken from the Latin Vulgate and other copies of the parchments. I have chosen to use the NASB because it stays truer to the most literal translation of the words used in todays English. In the areas where there are differences between the R.T. and the L.V. (missing verses, and doctrinal differences) I take in consideration all of the most widley used translations and alot of prayer to help me make a choice in what I will believe. Young's Literal Translation is also good along side with the KJV.
But I think we have beat this horse enough. My wife says I have a life at home that I'm neglecting by debating so much (I'm a hunt and pecker index finger typer that needs a dictionary for words with more than 3 syllables) so just to write this has taken quite a long time. Thanx for debating and allowing me to sharpen my skills while sharing my insight with you and trying to understand where you are coming from. I will agree that we will just have to disagree.
To all who read these posts, please take the time to read my post 450. This is my wittness as to what the Savior of the world has done. We all have broken God's Law and will face judgement someday. Christ has paid our penalty.
Grace and peace to all.
With me it's the other way around
