You have truly outdone yourself in post 144. Could you be anymore insulting with your baseless assumptions?!?! I have had quite enough of your type - smarmy evo defenders who pull out all their supposed ‘trump’ cards (i.e. flat-earthers, equating christianity with islamic religion, etc.). You show little if any true understanding of U.S. history let alone world history. Grow up before it’s too late. Here’s a hint for you junior - this ‘desert nomad mythology’ that you speak of is very embarrassing - for you.
You insult other fine folk’s intelligence, as if none of us have analyzed anything in the present world, rather just dumbly/blindly ‘clinging to our guns and religion’, nothing more than a bunch of hicksters and hucksters conning and being conned by some misunderstood ancient writings.
But in reality it is you who have failed even minimally to study the Bible and all the related extensive/exhaustive research defending it as a unique book in all of history and showing supernatural signs and wonders which no mere human could possibly have predicted and no mere scientist can begin to explain.
Shall I go on or will you apply your stupendous intellect studying and analyzing the unique nature and claims of the Holy Bible which any true believer will tell you is the inspired Word of God?
You completely under-estimate the defenders of creation with your old hackneyed arguments for evolution. All the while ignoring that it takes much more faith to believe that 3 billion lines of living breathing code came to life (somehow - since evolution does not like to address the point or origins anymore) and now with millions and billions of years is/was capable of accidentally re-programming itself into myriad life-forms all the while hiding all evidence. Any mathematician worth his weight will tell you the odds are simply staggering beyond your puny comprehension.
This hysterical evolutionary science still has far more questions than answers and far more dead-ends than they will ever admit. And don’t even think of re-examining all of the factual science evolution has swept under the rug along the way. I’ll cling to my faith any day of the week rather than being a modern day talking-head consensus clinger with nothing better to do than polish my pride. But ymmv...
The lottery winner hypothesis I mentioned earlier makes it just as impossible, probability-wise, for someone to win a lottery, and yet, they do.The "3 billion" lines of code didn't all get compiled in one go. It started off from something far simpler - protein molecules. Innumerable iterations of natural selection allowed the "code" to grow.
Many may prefer superstition instead, but that is something I cannot help them with. Whatever standards of judgment they used to reject the scientific evidence for evolution, I can only request them to apply the same to the mythologies they accept as true, as well.
As for the picture on post 144, if it's that 100+-years-old picture you're complaining about, here's a better version of the same, from the following website:
