Indeed, you just need good rebuttals to show it....something you seem to lack. Prove me wrong.

Hmmm....kitty!! Hi kitty!!

It is not inherently cute, it's a mechanism in your brain that responds to certain facial features to face and limb to trunk ratios that indicate an infant. It's what makes babies look cute. It's just a coincidence that it also makes other infant mammals look cute.

I have a feeling this post is in jest though D:

Come on! Enough with the scientific mumbo jumbo! Just admit that the cat is cute! Thus, a cute cat refutes evolution;how could a natural process bring such a cute animal?

Yep. Amazing cats.

Through the same natural process that brought about our ability to perceive such a cute animal.

Wait, that was supposed to be serious?

OK, I'll bite.

'Cuteness' increases our love, connection, and protective nature over our children. It's not hard to see how that's important to our species survival and hence evolution. The same mechanisms that allow us to see cuteness in our children (as previously said, the ratio of size in facial features to the size of the head, and the size of the limbs to the trunk) - work in other mammals because we can recognise the same features that are present in our babies in their young.

I know more about science than you can ever hope to know.

You do?

What's this and what does it do? (I don't have enough posts to post images, so you'll just have to clicky)

"The sign of a good parody is confusion. Why you ask? There are many paordies that are not well thought out;such parodies are noted as parodies. But,my readers, a good parody is such that people have trouble distinguishing as a paordy.When people take you seriously, you are a good parody."--Sen Tzu

It was made of the same thing it is made of now. Written language is a way to express spoken language. DNA is a way to express the spoken langage of God.

Let me give you something real simple so that a child can understand it. DNA code is made up of ACGT. The A here is the first letter in the alphabet. It is the beginning and DNA is also the beginning of everthing that is living. C stands for Christians. It is the Christians that are here to deliver God's message to the world. G of course stands for God. It is God who is expressing Himself in the DNA and thus God is expressing Himself in Creation. The T of course expresses God and the head or in His leadership over man. There is a lot that can be said about this, but now is not the place. If you have a small t then of course you have the cross that Jesus gave Himself for us. If you have a small g you will see that God has expressed Himself in us. The small c of course represents our humility before God. If we have pride or ego or are puffed up before God, then it is not going to work according to God's plan and purpose. The small a of course shows how things start off small in the beginning and over time they become greater. A journey of 1000 steps begins with one step. A study of the Bible begins with one word and one passage at a time.

That is pretty much the extent of it. In order to get more out of it, you would have to look at it in the origional Hebrew Language. We are limited using English because they have made changes to try to make it easier to learn and that tends to cause it to lose meaning.

I thought numerology was crazy. This is "alphabetology" the search for significant patterns according to related first letters between words.

"I know more about science than you can ever hope to know." - JohnR7

John, THE LATIN ALPHABET WAS NOT CREATED BY GOD. THE LETTERS USED IN DNA CODE ARE NOTHING BUT L-E-T-T-E-R-S. DNA IS NOT MADE UP OF TINY LETTERS. THE LETTERS STAND FOR THE ENGLISH NAMES OF THE NUCLEOTIDES THAT MAKE UP THE DNA. NOTHING MORE.

Just for fun (and to throw in another ancient example), the Futhark runic alphabet has a "th" too, the rune Thurisaz.

<irony>
Funny how English degenerated from its more or less "Nordic" origins so that it now needs those two stupid letters where earlier there was one...
</irony>

Sorry couldn't resist

Actually there is one last situation in which we get a TH sound in English with one letter: The "Ye" in the names of places that are trying to be quaint, like "Ye Olde Coffee Shoppe" isn't pronounced "Yee" as in the old plural of "you". The Y is an attempt to indicate an old Anglo-Saxon letter for TH that looks vaguely like a Y. So in examples such as the above "Ye" should be pronounced like "The".

That's called selective breeding. Chapter 1 of Charles Darwins famous book. give it a try. its not hard reading at all. Promise it won't bite.

 

[shinbits]

Only for you.

wow.

It shouldn't be considered a fact. A theory is a collection of facts that corroborate each other and explain any given phenomenon.

Very good.

As it shouldn't. Neither can religion, so how is that a problem for science?

It's a problem if the devine is responsible for the creation of the world, since science is unable to even detect the devine.

You think appeals to incredulity and begging the question is a sound thing to believe in?

Apeals to logic is always a sound thing to believe in.
