Sorry, all. I even tried to post in a link and that didn't work. Odd little site controls, I guess.
Besides, my keyboard is Fried!

Or is it some sort of mental defect?
Maybe you think it's "cute" or "original" to write that way; but as for me, I just think it's extremely annoying and obnoxious.
Please go away.
Actually, it is you who failed to answer the simple question from my first post: The next question would be: Are you either a competent scientist or a competent physician yourself (or Pyysician, as some of you may spell it down there in Tennessee)?
Your private reply said, "Of course."
Sure. Right. Whatever you say (what did you say?).
Let's see, if you are a physician and "fat fingers" get in the way of competent spelling, I hope you don't choose to pick up a prescription pad and mix up a prescription due to your poor spelling any time soon. Furthermore, if you are a surgeon, one would hope you would not brush off the possibility that you dropped a scalpel into someone because manual dexterity wasn't one of your stronger areas in med school. Similarly, we all trust that you don't arrive at your diagnoses with the same careless haste as you post.
If you on the other hand claim to be a competent scientist, as I do, particularly where it comes to making a valid point in this discussion, can you tell us what it is about his faith in the tenets of evolutionary biology that you hope your personal physician relies upon as he treats you for an ailment?
I'm very glad to see that we three are in general agreement on the program.
The sufficiency of our conclusion depends on the accuracy and adequacy of our definitions which are no longer subject to direct test.
IMHO, your statement is so true it bears repeating. To many of us, the lack of direct evidence makes evolutionary theory look thin by comparison to theories which can be tested empirically.
Some on the evolutionist side may bristle when it is suggested that the theory is grounded in faith, but at least one scientist is quite frank about it:
My comment was aimed at why this student should get so excited over the fact that a biology assist. prof. should expect him to believe biological science. If this is a favor provided by faculty, why the article about having to change schools?
And congratulations for joining up. I lurked for about a year before I signed up.

"No one doubts the improbability of events. Your existence is highly improbable. So is mine. Think of all the events in just the past 100 generations which could have caused any of our ancestors to behave differently than they did. Yet all the past events happened, naturally, step by step, and here we are, so mere improbability is not much of an issue."
"The facts upon which evolution theory is based are rather well established. Mutations happen. They really do. And new species appear over time, really. And they appear in form and DNA to be related to pre-existing species. No joke, that's the evidence. In every generation, those best suited for the game of life are most likely to breed the next generation. Mutation and natural selection. And time, lots of time. They're the stuff of evolution."

The second reason I posted was to give a personal first hand testimony of what happened to me. I was healed in a Church service along with about a dozen other people.
I find it pretty humorous that I am debunked. Leg length is debunked, Healers don’t happen, and a million bucks will buy peace for evolutionists at night for easy sleeping.
The only problem is that I am healed. And I listed the research and observation that I and 5 other people did using gold placer placement. Perhaps if I had one of your Priest's Ordainments by having a Doctorate and wrote in your Bible by publishing my research papers you could then dare to read anything outside your little church.
But the placer is there still and that anybody with a gold pan can go test it does not count because dirt is layered and large rocks are in valleys. Only problem is that the research was done, the results posted here and the rocks I am talking about are the anomalies. Which if you actualy read what I wrote is the subject, not the normal rocks in the valleys which are not a result of placer placement anyway because erosion does not placer (or placed here) a rock. The way you can tell a placer rock from a erosion rock is the rounding and smoothing of the rock by streambed action.
So what happened didn't because someone somewhere said it is bunk, and the research is bunk because dirt is layered. Guess what, stream beds are layered. I kinda lean towards A world wide flood making all of the earth a streambed. *doh*
I am not a circus act. I am just another Joe blow on the street, like millions of others. If you want to see healing I suspect that there is a Church a lot closer to you than I am.
But with the "objective reasoning" being shown here I can tell just what spirit your million dollar lottery is done in.
Did you catch the clue that I don't give a rip about your million bucks? I know the concept that there is something more valuable than money is hard to understand.
Keep your bucks, sleep well at night, but remember the dawn comes.
Lets keep this simple, in the same spirit it was offered. I did some research myself, and it is just as valid as anyone else’s even if it refutes your religion. And I am healed. Face it, healing happens. Take a look at how long I have been a Freeper, and notice that I have not been flaming you evolutionist wacko's all this time. I frankly do not give a rip what you choose to believe, obviously I have not tried to "save" you from your folly for two years and I am not going to be forced to do it now. I am no evangelist. I am just a Freeper with a first hand experience that pertained to a thread and gave it as a simple example. Take it in the spirit that it was offered or stuff it in your nose for all I care. I have never played preacher here on Freeper, and resent you trying to force me into that box along with your circus act routine.
I do not give a rip about what some MD says is real, I give a rip about what the Spirit of God says. And this Evangelist that came to church was led by the spirit he said, to check leg length. God seems to have felt that the theory had enough backing it because my leg grew. Did you think the kid that prayed was like some ET throwback that lengthened bones by thinking about it?
You guys are the best at the world in ignoring the obvious to study the sublime. I see your MD and raise you one God. Call.
Go back to your fantasy, and quit trying to debunk what you are afraid to understand. If you do not want to believe in God, fine. Have a nice life. But sheesh, your fear does not make my lifes experience's a fantasy no mater how important that is to your peace of mind.
