Yet again, you are showing your lack of reading comprehension.

Yet again you show your lack of math comprehension.

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.)

I'm still wondering how life can come from non life... of course, it MUST have happened because of course there can't be a God. Fine. If you admit your faith is what it is I am fine with that. Yes, we have faith that an intelligence without beginning exists that created all this. You have faith that somehow, everything came from nothing, that life came from non-life, that intelligence came from nothing, that everything proceeds at the same rate today as it did thousands of years ago when you weren't there because while at once you say that the world was different X^Y number of years ago, you also assume that things change at the same rates they do right now. (e.g. erosion - carbon 14 deterioration etc.)

I am not going to convince you. Either real life will, or you will learn when it is too late. That's all I can say.

No. You're applying your reasoning backwards. You're assuming there is a God, and therefore It created life.

The scientific method assumes that real answers can be found, without applying unanswerable mystic solutions, and therefore works to discover methods whereby known natural law can explain the origin of life.

Since a satisfactory scientific theory of life's origin's does exists, there is no rational reasons to pretend that "God" had anything to do with it.

I'm telling you how to measure the the distance to stars within 100 light years and you tell me I have a lack of math comprehension? I'm trying to tell you that for over 30 years we can reliably hit an 18 square inches target from 239,000 miles away while we are moving at roughly 500MPH( Earth's rotational speed around 40 deg latitude) and the target is moving at .636 miles persecond(orbital speed). Given this information, you continue to argue that we don't have the abiltiy to handle this simple concept. Please show your ohh so intelligent husband this post and let him decide how nuts you sound. Unless you are one of those "We didn't go to the moon" nuts as well.

I have a profound belief in God, and I believe that we can't begin to comprehend him/her/gender neutral. But I know one thing we can attempt to understand, his creation known as the Universe. And unless he is playing a big trick on us, the universe is about 15 billion years old.

I thought that this was a discussion regarding evolution. As such, the issue of the existence of any gods is not relevant.

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.
