Okay, when I commented on how a few more posts from you would convert me, I was being sarcastic. Really. Your posts make no sense, they have no point and don't do anything but spout out silly nonsense in an attempt to ridicule rather than reason.

But evolution denies God as a caretaker, it denies that God has anything to do with how living things, and especially man, his greatest creation came about. So how can you reconcile evolution with the idea of a benevolent caretaker?

Evolution is the change in alelle frequency over time. Why the alelle frequency changes and exactly what "forces" direct the changes is not an issue, thus divine intervention is permissable as a driving force for evolution (it's simply not scientifically testable).

"No, I don't. I asked for the evidence, as any sensible fan of science and reason would. "

There is lots of evidence against abiogenesis. Pasteur showed proof against it. The creation of life from non-life has never been observed. Seems to me it is up to you to show proof of what has never been seen and has at least partially been proven to be impossible.

But, I am wasting my time, I know. I would rather talk with real brains, like my husband (mensa qualifier and aced college calc in 10th grade - and oh yeah... new earth creationist... his evolutionist college profs didn't like the questions he asked.)

Ah, the scent of pseudo-intellectual snobbery! Nothing like it in the world.

Listen, Sweetie...why don't you take all your bubbleheaded ideas and pack them nice and neat into your little purse. Then, get hubby's permission to feed your brain at a local junior college and TRY to get some sort of an education.

Mensa qualifier? Didn't get in, did he? His professor didn't like his questions? Didn't actually GET his diploma, did he? Tsk, tsk...too bad.

One final thought...you have insulted some of the finest minds here in FR with your presumption. Perhaps at the very least you could apologize to SengirV for your bad manners.

It is you who has to prove that it happened. It is you who is going against everything that science knows about life. It is you who is arguing for the almost impossible. You cannot even tell us how such a thing could have happened. You have not even tried to overcome the objections put against your theory.

"God does play dice with the universe. "

I didn't say this, but thanks for the compliment. Of course, the dice are entangled.

Earth to gore! All you do is move your road-show of spew to another thread when someone shows you up.

Pole Shift

Don't forget the "TIMECUBE" link.

"The TRUTH of the TIMECUBE cannot be denied!"

Hubba-hubba!

In a word, WRONG! Does this include the gravitational lensing we observe, the light from a supernovae that gave us an incredibly accurate distance...

Unless you've been to that supernova and checked the mileage, then you've got no real basis to claim that any of our present distance measurements is "incredibly accurate". The same misconceptions which paint scientists into ideological corners like the "big bang" idea is present in some of these measurements of distance.

Evolution is a theory....an educated guess in essence...but still a guess. That's all.

Earth to Vade the proven liar. You got beaten on everything from the platypus to macro-evolution. You always claim you won somewhere else. You can't win nowhere because as Junior says, you are only a third stringer for atheism and as I say, you can't beat a Christian with four aces. Evolution is bunk.

Guesses as bad as evolution don't come down the road very often. Check out the real lowdown on Chuck Darwin, the stupidest white man who ever lived, and his BS theory, and on feebs like Steve Gould and Niles Eldredge who are trying to keep the clunker theory going for another generation:

Evolution is a theory...

Evolution is not a theory, it is the atheistic rantings of a charlatan - Charles Darwin.

Hey....I don't like Darwin nor the great leaps over scientific voids the anthroprocentric humanists make in their argument for evolution anymore than you guys do.

Evolution says nothing about God

Evolution specifically denies the Word of God. Evolution is atheism.

Answer this one: if evolution did not deny God, what sense is there in making up such a contrived, ridiculous, convoluted excuse for a non-God ordered world?

The problem is that believing in one bankrupt ideological doctrine makes a person more susceptible to the next and the next, kind of like what hitmen say about killing people, i.e. that the first one is hard but it gets easier after that. In other words, things like evolutionism dumb down the entire human race.

An atheist theologian interpreting the words of the Pope! Don't make me die laughing!

The Pope said "truth cannot deny truth". He said that any theory that denies the divine creation of man and makes him an artifact of nature is against the faith. Because truth cannot deny truth, evolution is false according to the Pope. That is what the Encyclical means, not what atheist theologians say it means.

The real bottom line reason for evolution and it's embrace by many is the separation from our creator they think it provides.

I thought that this was a discussion regarding evolution.

You are darned right it is relevant, because with a God evolution is nonsense. You cannot deny that your species came out of your beloved pond scum if there was a Creator around to do things properly.

What finest minds here on FR? You certainly do not mean the evolutionists do you? You certainly do not mean those folk that get half their posts pulled for abuse do you? You certainly do not mean those folk that for a year have not been able to answer one simple question:


WHAT IS THE PROOF FOR MACRO-EVOLUTION ???


You certainly are not talking about that bunch of losers are you?
