In fact, Ted Holden's approach makes Star Trek look like A Brief History of Time.Can another stroke of the abuse button be far behind? He hit it on jennyp just for compiling a list of his own posts.
I'll stick with the Greeks. I'm a Western Civilization chauvanist.
The Greeks had the Olympian Gods descended from the Titans, but I forget what the Titans came out of. Chaos, maybe. Or New York.
Wow, what a rebuttal - "probably"! Let me ask you just exactly how do traits coevolve? Not even the charlatan Darwin would claim such. In fact he said:"If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. " In Origins, Chapter 6. Notice the word "successive"? For things to 'coevolve' would imply a miracle and evolution, being atheistic, denies miracles.
In other words Vade, your rebuttal is no rebuttal at all, it is utter nonsense.
Funny that you evolutionists cannot refute his posting if you it is absolute nonsense as you guys claim it is. Insults prove absolutely nothing except the lameness and the dishonesty of the opponents.
Refute me.
Just don't cross the streams...
I was wondering if anyone caught that. :-)
Refute me.
Go to the NASA site and look at the pictures of the earth from space.
Everytime that I ask evolutionists to back up their statements they come up with nonsense like the above, ignore the posting, or insult. For people that claim that their theory is based on scientific evidence they never seem to be able to give any for their stupid theory.
That's because there are no creationists. They only exist as a strawman for evolutionists to deceitfully attack Christians who oppose their stupid theory.
One thing about you Patrick, you never tire of repeating lies that have been refuted dozens of times. Since the platypus has supposedly been evolving all this time, it must have had ancestors during that long evolution. Since evolution says that every feature gradually evolves from something else, then the features of the platypus must have come from another. So what species is the ancestor of the platypus - and I mean species not nonsense like 'the vertebrate family'. I mean what specific species it came from.
From what specific species did the following traits descend:
1. the mammary glands.
2. the egg laying.
3. 3 earbones.
4. the poison spur.
5. the duck like bill.
6. the webbed feet.
7. the toothless mouth.
8. the electro-sensor in the bill.
9. the fur.
10. the cloaca.
11. the ability to vocalize and make different sounds.
The evolutionists have been looking 150 years for the answer to the above, they still have not found it because it is utterly impossible for a species to have descended from several totally unrelated species.
LOL, sage advice from one who knows.
Beware of absolutes, I think the article this thread is based on should demonstrate this notion quite clearly.
Simply because evidence has not yet been discovered does NOT mean such evidence does not exist. How will you feel if fossils are indeed discovered on Mars? Will such a discovery place your faith in God on shaky ground? Remember, the popular opinion of the solar system was at one time that the Earth was the center and all other bodies moved around it. The Catholic Church was particularly testy on the matter. And yet, here we are today with a heliocentric model.
Never say never...
No the article does not demonstrate any such possibility. A species cannot descend from two different species. The platypus would need to have descended from several totally unrelated species if it had descended according to evolution. The 11 characteristics mentioned are found in totally unrelated species if found anywhere at all so yes it is impossible. That is why Darwin (even though he knew about the platypus, it was an utter sensation in Europe in the 1820's) did not even dare to mention the platypus in his works. Even though he was a complete charlatan who could talk his way out of almost anything, he did not even dare to try to explain away the platypus.
How rigid and narrow your thinking is...I was not addressing the issue of cross-breeding, but rather the possibility that there are phenomena that exist quite nicely without our ability to comprehend the mechanisms for their very existence. There must be something about God and His activities that you personally do not comprehend and yet accept without question.
Do you know exactly how He accomplished this? Does God claim that He created every species at the moment He endowed Adam and Eve with consciousness? Does the Bible claim that each of these species are alive today, unchanged from that time? If you can claim personal knowledge of these things, then I refer you to the following:
there are no creationists.I'll have to add that one to my ever-growning placemarker.

No, the Titans are from Tennessee. They came from Oilers of Houston. The Giants were from New York, but actually play in New Jersey.
