Scientists find missing link between whale and its closest relative, the hippo

Where is the conscience of creationists when they attack evolution with no facts? Where is their conscience when they offer no science to refute evolution, yet claim their view superior?
Where is the conscience of creationists when they alter scientists quotes?
Where is the conscience of creationists when they preach cultish heresy and conflate the Gospel and Genesis as needed for salvation?
I wouldn't put much stock in the conscience idea if I were you.

If I've done any of those things let me know - I can't speak for anyone else. I know that you and I don't feel the same way about God. That's fine. I have personal reasons and have witnessed some things that are partly responsible for my beliefs. I'm not a nut and I'm not out to get anyone. In fact the Bible teaches that we're supposed to try to bring people to Christ. It goes on to say that if the would be convert refuses twice we're to leave them alone. That's it. What's so threatening about that?

I was involved in the engineering for our second flight to the moon.We went to the moon based on proven mathematics and proven laws of physics.

That's not strictly true. By which I mean (especially when speaking to someone who demands absolute proof) that it's not true at all.

The mathematics were approximations, taking into account the gravitational influences of only a few of the many bodies in the solar system, but good enough, and underlying them was Newtonian dynamics, which is a false and superseded theory, but again good enough for the purposes.

If you spelled it right, not in my dictionary. Tell me what you think Pakicetus means.

Clarify. Kerry was in Cambodia.

Proof is therefore impossible with respect to postulates about the natural world.

Wow, that's far out.
So Newton's laws, Laws of Thermodynamics, Ohm's law and many other "LAWS" are not PROOFS OF THE NATURAL WORLD? Yet they all started as postulates and were proven mathematically.

I guess with such convoluted thinking about the difference between NATURAL SCIENCE and UN-NATURAL(?)SCIENCE, the proof of evolution as a fact is seen as absolute.

Good luck, Buddy.

I never followed Ellen G. White, she was not a fundamentalist, she was a cultist.

... there are still apes today ...

But why? Gotcha, huh?

Probably the same place it is when they alter our posts. Had another creationist excuse bearing false witness because he was a soldier of God.

Really? They invoked the Muslim defense???

Please go reread Evolution 101.

I lost my only copy. Does it argue that everything has been evolving backwards? By definition to evolve is to develop or achieve something better than before (hence the idea that to evolve is to take a step up). Do you just enjoy arguing?

"One of the most difficult problems facing those who accept the naturalistic origin of life"

Evolution does not speculate on the origin of life, so I guess that point is moot.

[WildTurkey]

I think they modified it later to "Christian Soldier".

Then I suggest you get another copy and then come back and try to discuss evolution.

"who casually dismiss anti-evolutionist scientists "

There is no such thing.

[Theo]

No, God didn't design the human eye. It evolved. No Almighty God would have been so stupid as to come up with this design.

I've noticed that many people's belief in evolution stems from their hatred toward God....

[WildTurkey]

Do you just enjoy arguing?

No. Do you enjoy misquoting evolutionary theory?

[WildTurkey]

I've noticed that many people's belief in evolution stems from their hatred toward God....

Where did you notice that. In thousands of posts here I have not seen that a single time.

[shubi]

I can't tell you how much contempt I have for creationists. If a little comes through TOUGH!

[WildTurkey]

As you were previously informed, Newton's laws are outmoded.

One thing is certain....
The third human to be born, came from the first two...
