Because human beings become attached to eachother. And it becomes normal once you've been around someone for such a long time to lose them and have your life's normal pattern interrupted. It takes getting used to.
i would say the efficacy of liberalism/statism is a good example of this. the preponderance of evidence that statism/liberalism is unefficacious to such an extent that even the russkys and eastern bloc nations abandoned it. yet today, morons here cry out for it as the answer.
Sure it can. If, for instance, we saw a species zap into existence ex nihilo (which is what creationists believe), that would be a falsification.
Did Weinberg change his mind again?
Out of order fossil layers would be totally unreconcilable with a naturalist explanation. Since fossil layers are all found in the correct ascending order, the naturalistic explanation remains persuasive.
If you believe this, then you don't understand the theory. The genetic interrelatedness of the world's life forms reflects in exquisite detail the development of life as revealed by the fossil record. If these disagreed, it would surely falsify evolution.
Then why should they ever kill each other?
Actually, it is the opposite. Man is being called upon to do that which he naturally does not want to do -- turn against the tyrant of sin (and even its religious works) and deliver himself from it through Jesus Christ.
The passion of Christ was to deliver men from the tyrant of sin through His own death and resurrection. It was for love's sake, remember? (John 3:16)
Those who do not receive Christ, as those who cried, "Give us Barabbas," are supporters and endorsers of a cruel, seditious, thieving, murderous tyrant -- sin. So, for not receiving Christ, they are "condemned already." And whether they know it or not, yes, they have good reason to fear. (I cannot sugar coat it -- God is righteous, and just, and holy, and must judge.)
The solution is so simple -- invite Jesus Christ into your heart to save you. It is the truly merciful, loving and right thing to do. And all it takes is asking.
Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name[.]
"Zecharia Sitchin's best-selling series The Earth Chronicles provided humanity's side of the story-as recorded on ancient clay tablets and other Sumerian artifacts-concerning our origins at the hands of the Anunnaki, those who from heaven to earth came. We can discuss this era, of their colonization: gold to replenish the dying atmosphere of their own planet. Finding this precious metal results in the Anunnaki creation of homo sapiens-the human race-who will mine this important resource.
In his complete works to date, Sitchin has compiled the complete story of the Anunnaki's impact on human culture from the fragments scattered throughout Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Egyptian, and Canaanite sources-all ancient civilizations that benefited from knowledge brought to earth by these visitors from the 12th planet. Missing from these accounts, however, was the perspective of the Anunnaki themselves. What was life like on their own planet? What motives propelled them to settle on Earth-and what drove them from their new home? Convinced of the existence of a now lost book that formed the basis of ancient Sumerian texts and held the answers to these questions, the author began his search for evidence resulting in his latest "Lost Book of Enki". Through exhaustive research of primary sources, he has re-created here the memoirs of Enki, the leader of these first "astronauts." What takes shape is the story of a world of mounting tensions, deep rivalries, and sophisticated scientific knowledge that is only today being confirmed. An epic tale of gods and men unfolds, challenging every assumption we hold about our creation, our ancient history, and our culture."

Amen, brother!
Take a time machine back to day six with a doctor and a geologist, and a biologist.
The doctor says Adam's thirty years old, the biologist cuts down a big tree and says it's a hundred years old, the geologist picks up some rock and says it's a million years old.
JUST LIKE ME WHEN I WAS BORN AGAIN, I HAD NEW BIRTH DNA, GOD'S DNA PUT IN ME
BUT I DIDN'T LOOK "NEW"
Seven days before the time machine arrives, there was nothing, nothing anywhere.
Six days later it was all there, with visible indications there was a past.
