Actually, I probably value your word more than I would "talkorigins".
You ignore my entire post, which includes the basic building blocks of the argument and you post an ad hominem.
You misrepresented the entire TTOE. I can send you some links, but you will just wave it off as propoganda anyway.
Your summary of my post doesn't repreent what was posted.
Standard CRIDer technique: Logical Fallacy (a form of lying).
If evolution is bunk why does the ancient fossil records lack the remains of ALL modern day animals? If things don't evolve then we should find fossils of the single hooved horse next to the horses are five toed? We should see all types of modern day animals in the fossil record that go all the way back to the beginning of life on Earth. But we do not.
Why?
Well thanks, I think :-)
My point is a finger from that long ago would not look so "good" just because we have seen human flesh that were covered up in the same way the article suggests and they do not look like that (it would be wrinkled, darkened color, etc...). Also the article I pointed out does discuss the CT scan and such.
Besides you almost never find any animal whose flesh is fossilized so well from so long ago. It just seems very very very very very unlikely.
Now... if you found a skull... or even a jawbone that was hominid... doesn't have to be human just a hominid, that would really be something.
Are you off your meds? TTOE is silent on God (or a Creator of any kind). I have said this to you twice. Likewise, understanding TTOE is no more a sign of atheism than the choice of color of your underwear.
By the way, a lot of evos seem to have a case of logorrhea but no one has yet been able to explain away the Cambrian explosion, the irreducibly complex systems, etc., etc.
That is because you don't understand the explanations. A standard CRIDer strawman is that evolution must proceed in some sort of stepwise, stately fixed timeframe. The fact is nature is messy, and the changes over time happen in fits and starts. It is observing the cumulative effects and seeing where they are introduce that gives significant credibility to TTOE.
"Irreducibly complex systems" is also a canard frequently trotted out by CRIDers. In a nutshell, it means TTOE is too complicated to understand in all its full presentation so instead we will have God go {poof}.
Of course things like string theory, quantum physics, etc. etc. which are equally complex are valid lines of research, but not biological origins.
Look, I understand that is easier to read and digest Genesis which can be read in a day than the nuances of TTOE, but you should have a basic grasp of what you are arguing against before entering the debate.
Someone once said that we see what we wish to see...or something like that.
Jenny already exploded that one. But it'll be back, next thread.
How you people link athiesm with TTOE is beyond me. Not only is this unverified that such a link was made, but this i a classic eample of post hoc ergo propter hoc AND non sequitur (2 fallacies in one!).
Stalin had a beard. Stalin was an athiest. Therefore if you have a beard you are an athiest. Stalin killed millions. STalin was an athiest. Therefore if you have a beard you have killed millions.
I am waiting for a SINGLE post by a CRIDer that is not full of logical fallacies and/or purposeful deception.
Just one.
Repeated encounters with such ignorance and mendacity does that to one.
See post #81.
bttt
Non sequitur. Are you reading the materials involved?
You see, the link in post 93 is a total refutation of your 81. Note also the the Glen Kuban article. Essentially none of the statements in the Bible.CA link you keep referring to are true.
The creos like to squawk about Piltdown Man, but creationist lies are never abandoned by creationists even after exposure. Malachite Man, Cretacious Hammer, various footprints, Darwin's rhetorical questions ...
That's because you are freedumb.
Follow the thread, read with comprehension, and then stop being beyond yourself.
IOW you can't answer. I have pointed out MULTIPLE TIMES the logical fallacies used for the linkage and have ZERO direct answers.
I have zero answers because I have exposed you all for the prevaricators you are.
Tell me how my logic is wrong or accept your proper label as liars.
