Yeah, so what is it about 'no physical significance' that you don't understand?
It is you who lacks understanding, as nothing you've presented is evidence of your stated position that 'the universe is geocentric'. You are not just simply deficient in the evidence area, you have no evidence whatsoever.

Summed up it states that the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one. This misses a little. Simplicity is a tie-breaker. Of equally workable explanations, the simplest is preferred. Another formulation: "Include nothing unnecessary."
The Wikipedia Article.
The folksy saying, "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck--it's a duck" is really Occam's Razor all over.

Because I don't accept other men's descriptions of God. How hard is that to understand? I said nothing about 'other men'.
I'm trying to understand YOUR statement: HOW do you 'know' there is a GOD and yet NOT 'know' if he (HE?) has a plan???

Very interesting; however Darwinian evolution requires an evolutionary sequence within one species.... before it creates ANOTHER specie!

Evolution assumes that every offspring is of the same species as its parents, if that's what you mean. This CAN'T be true, for then you'd never get a DIFFERENT specie.

Study some biology before opposing it.

Because chromosome doubling is so common in plants, you don't have such a severe problem of mutant individuals finding mates. Except, ironically, in the plants we cultivate for food. They can't mate successfully without human intervention.
Ironic is NOT the word I would have chosen.

Regarding speciation, take a look at this and tell me exactly where red changes to green.
If you have trouble finding the exact spot, I'll magnify the transition.

But for the record, "species" is a man-made concept that doesn't really have a clear definition in biology. There are many living examples of species in transition, in which the individuals blend as seamlessly with their immediate neighbors as points on my color gradient.
We do not need to look for transitional fossils. We have living transitionals.

selling their snake oil religion?
One can't buy or sell salvation - it's a free gift. Focus should be on their need for a Savior and not on any person.
Sidenote: If a relative/friend had a billion $ for them; and, all they had to do is believe that they needed it and then accept it, do you believe they would 'allow' anyone (or claim to allow anyone) to stop them from receiving it?

It's too bad some well-meaning biologist(s) at some point in the past, oblivious of the religious implications, ever coined the largely meaningless and artificial terms micro and macro evolution.

...just like anything that Dr. Laura says on the radio doesn't count, because, see, "she's not a Christian"...oh and any of your parents who "didn't accept Christ BURN IN HELL!!"... You better brush up on your news. Dr.Laura is a Christian by her admission. So much for your sarcasm. Also, as for those who don't believe is Christ going to hell, well you can take that up with God. "..he that believeth not, shall be damned." Christians have nothing to do with that. Again, another false premise on your part.

Dr. Laura claimed to be an Orthodox Jew until 2003. As Al Simmons was relating past conversations, your accusation would seem to be premature, as it is possible that he was relating an event that occured prior to Dr. Laura's 2003 announcement.

Also, I am unaware that Dr. Laura has ever claimed to be Christian. Do you have a reference for this "admission"? While she has stated that she is no longer a practicing Orthodox Jew, she did state that she still considers herself
Jewish. What reference do you have for her announcement of conversion to Christianity?

I'm still waiting for a list of Hindu, Buddist, Athiest, and muslim scientists to sign on that ID or Creationism is backed by scientific fact.
Christian, Jew, muslim, Hindu, Buddist, and Athiest scientists can all agree on the Theory of Gravity, Theory of Relativity, Theory of Evolution, and the Theories of Quantum Physics. Where is all the cross religion support for ID and Creationism?
If it's science it is science for all religions. If it is a belief of scientists of one faith. Then it's religion.

And one would be correct.
