I think the more interesting question is, if Adam and Eve are "genetically perfect", what was their skin color? What is the melanin level of someone that is "genetically perfect". I always found it funny how Adam and Eve are always depicted as white, so is white skin the sign of genetic...

I, for one, would love to see this experiment happen, seeing how dogs and cats have a common ancestor millions of years back. It would really be a great test for evolution if they could interbreed. Of course, the important point is you're showing how little you understand science by saying a...

Well by determining if the science discovered contradicts a literal reading of the Bible. If it does contradict the Bible, it's not a "true science." If it supports the Bible, it is "true science". Duh.

Lucky for you, I'm also a math major. Funny that your comment shows that you also don't understand math if you think that's a proof. That's just probability with large state spaces and single events. All your probability math is based on flawed premises. According to mathematics, events with...

Please, show me this "mathematical impossibility". Sounds like magic hand waving. As for me, I know from experience that allele frequencies in a gene pool change over generations. I observe it in my family history just by observing the different hair color in my parent's and my grandparent's...

Well, mathematics isn't science, but a source of knowledge. However, I lump it all together because I accept science just as I accept mathematics. And regardless of my religious views, I accept both as a valid source of knowledge. You just proved me point. Do you accept the scientific...

This is probably the best answer. I don't consider myself a theistic evolutionist any more than I consider myself a theistic gravitationist or theistic mathematician. Basically, it boils down to this. You have people that accept science and the scientific method as a way to explain natural...

Isn't it depressing that until I got to the law of gravity part, I thought you were serious?

So you think that one of the most well respected Christian universities in the nation is lying in order to survive? That they would release a statement they do not believe in just to be able to continue teaching? Personally, I would have no respect for liars like that. Good thing you're...

While this isn't an official stance from the higher ups of the Baptist community, Baylor University, a very well respected Baptist university released this statement: "Evolution, a foundational principle of modern biology, is supported by overwhelming scientific evidence and is accepted by the...

That's all fine and dandy, but all it does is open new problems. For example, what good is a quarter of a wing?

Well, I zealously defend that .99999~== 1 and 1+1=2, so I guess I worship math. I would've never guessed that I've been praying to the false idol of calculus and number theory.

No, I would say he's wrong on his terminology and definitions. Science doesn't deal with proofs. Proofs are for math and alcohol. Theories are about as good as you get in science. That's why we still have atomic theory, theory of gravity, and germ theory. To call it a "mere" theory shows...

This may be strange, but I completely agree with you. It really isn't about winning and losing, but about educating people. That's why I'm here. I try to correct incorrect statements, and occasionally, have of ribbing at another person in jest.

Just wondering, what science field do you study?

That's a stock reply if I ever heard it. I said it before, and I'll say it again, Creationism has answers for everything but explains nothing.

Hahah. This is so funny. I've noticed that many Creationists hate to admit to a mistake since it goes against their mindset of fundamentalism. So in this thread, we have a Creationist saying that people that think religion is a science is stupid, but in the very same thread, say that religion...

You're still avoiding the details. Do you understand what sfs said? Here's an analogy. Humans and chimps share similar set of blueprints, which you say is attributed to a common creator rather than common descent. Now, every animal contains a set of blueprints in them that follow a similar...

You keep saying this, but how do you explain what sfs just said? You choose a horrible example to defend your view. Why would one of our chromosomes contain endpoints in the middle of another chromosome? Why would that same chromosome match up with two other chromosomes as if a fusion...

So is forensic science art or science? What about astronomy, the act of studying things billions of years ago, art or science? Sounds pretty absurd to think that origins theory isn't science. I can come up with a hypothesis: "Mixing these inorganic chemicals can create organic chemicals"...
