There's increasing evidence to show that trees are able to communicate with each other.

[MennoSota]

You know, I was just watching a movie where a tree spoke to an elf. That right there is all the evidence I need. [emoji8] [emoji41] [emoji266] [emoji267] [emoji268] [emoji269] [emoji318]

The author of the book in the OP is being interviewed right now on Radio 2.

Shifting the burden of proof? We're still waiting for your calculations, did you make your claim up?

"Your problem is adding to a mutation that has enhanced the fitness of an organism. The odds alone tell us a second mutation BY CHANCE occurring in the DNA that adds to the first...is impossible....let alone a third, fourth, fifth, etc."

Did you actually mean to say that you don't believe it's possible? You made it seem like you were stating an evidenced fact which is a bit misleading when it's neither evidenced or a fact. At least be honest about it.

You didn't answer the question Jimmy.

So you don't know, why didn't you just say so. I don't know either but then I haven't studied plant evolution in any detail, has any research been done to identify this mutation or series of mutations?

BTW the thread is not about dolphins so I'll ignore that. Feel free to start a dolphin thread if that's what you like to discuss.

In this reply...you avoided the question.

Shifting the burden of proof. It's not my job to do your calculations or research.

Red herring. Why should I answer a question about dolphins, your assertion was about plants?

All I did was ask you to support your assertions with some evidence. You obviously can't do that, yet you presented them as facts not opinion. I'm withdrawing from this conversation as you've clearly demonstrated your intentions.

Gods amazing creation can be seen in the plant word as well as the animal world.

Gods amazing creation can be seen in the plant word as well as the animal world.

Just saying that means absolutely nothing, you could also use:
(Put your chosen whatever here) amazing creation can be seen in the plant word as well as the animal world.
It has exactly the same meaning, none, saying a God did it tells us nothing and explains nothing.

It's totally up to you. You can either worship the creator or the creature. I chose the creator. You chose the creature.

This obviously went completely over your head:

However, I choose reality not myth.
If it needs magic to make it work then it's false.

... saying a God did it tells us nothing and explains nothing.

But that's exactly what God's amazing creation came from: nothing.

 

[MasonP]

Are you saying you think something was made from nothing by nothing?

 

[MennoSota]

Are you saying you think something was made from nothing by nothing?

Yes, that is exactly what s/he claims. The blind faith needed by atheists is quite impressive.

 

[AV1611VET]

Are you saying you think something was made from nothing by nothing?

No.

 

[MasonP]

Are you saying you think something was made from nothing by nothing?

No.

Does that mean you think your God is not a spirit?

 

[AV1611VET]

Does that mean you think your God is not a spirit?

No.

You should know what creatio ex nihilo is by now, I'd think.

 

[MasonP]

Does that mean you think your God is not a spirit?

No.
You should know what creatio ex nihilo is by now, I'd think.

What has your Gods state of existence got to do with creatio ex nihilo?
