Migration:does THAT make ya smarter?
These ducks will soon outwit the hunters!
I see that any attempt at serious discussion goes right over your head.
God told me to tell you that you are wrong: "I AM made ya, and by Myself, I AM can break ya."
Because history is not entirely unrecorded. Forensic evidence is more reliable than eyewitness evidence in many cases. It is certainly more reliable if there is a conflict between the two.
It ain't a lie if I'm programmed to do it, and, since I did it, by your own rules you've stated here, God did it.
Better than missing something more important.
I have not seen any 'discussion' yet, merely jibes flying back and forth.
What arrogant idiots these leftist goons are. The American right consists of lots of people who are scientifically sophisticated, and reject the leftists' ridiculous ideas of what makes America tick.
If the mere interpretation of forensic evidence is what constitutes science, then why is it "unscientific" to interpret biological entities that function as machines to be the product of intelligent design?
I see that you missed responding to my post in an educated manner. Or, was it that I just blew you out of the water with that post?
Can't read?
I watched the train for years but never jumped on board because in thinking for myself, I noticed the train you mentioned never appeared to be on the right track.
Very neat point!
Selection is not just a WAG. It implies many things and predicts many knnds of evidence that were not available when the hypothesis was first formulated. And many kinds of evidence not yet found. It predicted, for example, the minimum age of the earth at a time when physics was wildly off base. In short, it has survived 150 years of accumulated evidence.
I would rather stand up for God than be on the side of pure evil like the left no matter what the cost thank you very much.
In order to know what God's intelligent design really is, you would have to be as intelligent as he is. Maybe his "design" is for life to evolve--what works works, what doesn't dies out. Maybe it's something for us to ponder in our own lives---what works makes our lives and the lives of those around us better, what doesn't makes people unhappy and is commonly called sin and the souls of those who practice it tend to die. Maybe. He didn't create us as robots, after all. He gave us free will (sorry, Calvin). The beauty of life, physical and spiritual, is motion: adaptation and change and the possibility of improvement. Not that the species aren't beautiful per se. But evolution is beautiful too.
Do you really think science needs a testable design hypothesis to tell the difference between a machine and a non-machine?
Actually it's about 40. That's when your immune system starts to shut down, because it's not needed anymore, as it no longer matters whether you live or not.
It is difficult for humans to comprehend things that exceed their lifetime. That is why we have written history, art---and religion: an attempt to give the next generation the wisdom of the preceding ones. Evolution is one of those things. The so-called fossil record is one pinpoint in the story, completely incapable of explaining by itself the minute, step-by-step changes that have vanished and left no record.
I seem at 54 to have beat the odds then, along with most adults across the developed globe. Odd. Yes, I know you were elliptically suggesting something about procreation. Males however seem to be able to do that too past 40. It must be some sort of evolutionary gender discrimination. Sue the evolutionist. He is not PC.
