• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How much longer?

I have done that countless times. I did it in my previous post. Your inability to understand a refutation does not mean that you were not refuted.

Where in your previous post? What did you give which is verified by the scientific method. Simply claiming it doesn't suffice, actually show the process of verification.

What good would that do? You don't understand it. You don't even understand the concept of scientific evidence. You need to learn how to crawl before you can walk.

I understand baseless claims aren't scientific evidence.

No, it is not. It merely mentions the evidence. It does not explain how it is scientific evidence. Once again. You need to learn how to crawl.

You need to offer just one example which can be verified by the scientific method. Empty claims aren't verification by the scientific method.

What law(s) of science are broken by macroevolution. To minimize confusion for me, please list the law of science broken by macroevolution and explain how macroevolution breaks that law.
It would be helpful if you also included how microevolution did not break that law, but you don't have to provide that if it is too difficult.

Apparently, it does not break any scientific laws when a human is born with 50 mutations. However, some mysterious scientific law is broken when that human passes on half of those mutations to a child along with a whole new batch of mutations. There is also some mysterious scientific law that is broken when a chimp is born with different mutations than a human child. I have yet to find a creationist who can explain what these scientific laws are, or how they can be so easily broken by living populations.

Repeating your error only makes you look worse. Let's get back to the lesson on evidence again.

You still have not shown that you understand empirical evidence much less scientific evidence. Is a fossil found in a specific stratum empirical evidence? This is a fairly easy question. Why or why not?

This isn't about common ancestry. Stick with the issue of HOW/process.

And humans are humans with the mutations and chimps are chimps with the mutations. And bacteria are bacteria and finches are finches and moths are moths.

Sorry, if you can't read that is not my fault.

I understand baseless claims aren't scientific evidence.

Once again, no false accusations. I do not make baseless claims. That is why I am trying to teach you what scientific evidence is.

I will gladly do so once you understand the concept of scientific evidence. That is why I am now in the process of teaching you. When we are done I will be offering you evidence and showing why it is scientific evidence.

Your response at the beginning of the post is indicative of a baseless claim.

And yet another baseless claim.

Sorry, we do not need to go into the "HOW" yet. How is often the last question answered. We do not need to know how life evolved to know that it evolved.

In real life we do not need to know how a gun works to use a gun. Proving that evolution occurred and is the source of the diversity of life was done long ago. Scientists are now working on the HOW.

I have to run, but when I get back I will start the lesson on scientific evidence again.

You have been dodging a question. Is a fossil found in a particular stratum empirical evidence? Why or why not?

Once again this is goading. You made a request. I fulfilled that request. What you are doing now is goading and I will not respond to it. If you continue to do so I will not get mad, I will simply report it. The last thread was closed because both of us got out of hand. If you are the only one that is breaking the rules what do you think will happen. I will not fall for your tricks this time. Right now the lesson is on evidence.

No, the attempt at changing the issue isn't going to work. The issue is the HOW/process which is proposed by the faith-based, pseudo-science guesses and suppositions of Darwinism.

And I asked the simple question where and you couldn't point it out.

Ok. You're the one making disparaging personal remarks against me and Christians.

Right now the issue is your complete lack of evidence based on the scientific method.

Ah! Making fun of us for understanding the taxonomic relationships of living things which you do not.
Why wouldn't you understand them?

After all, you guys are the ones that made them up.

It's your game.

Why do you think pig heart valves are used instead of chimpanzee heart valves?
Trial and error?

Do you think it is because pigs are more closely related to humans than chimps?
No.

I think it is because pigs are more closely designed than chimps.

The law of Biogenetics. Laws of Physics
Natural Selection doesn't break any laws. It is a Law of Nature in itself.


Fossil record, embryology, DNA, comparative anatomy, etc.
There isn't any other way to say this....you're wrong.
No, I'm not. Evolution needs mutation to be a viable theory, which is a chaotic process, so there should be a ton of fossils of the mutations which did not succeed, demanded by statistics because we have many fossils of single animals, but no fossil record of the billions of mutations which did not succeed.

Would you consider one human to be more closely designed to another human than a pig? If so, how do you explain the fact that a human heart valve has a much higher chance of being rejected by the patient's immune system than a pig heart valve?

Why do you use the laws of thermodynamics as an argument when you know that has been easily refuted over and over again?

The law of Biogenetics. Laws of Physics

Fossilization is a pretty rare event.
We can see the changes in the fossil record pretty clear.

Human evolution says hi as well:

What do you think an extinct species is?

Yes.

Genetic diversity.

We are so genetically diverse, no two DNA are the same.

We pay a price for that though, in the fact that we just can't transplant organs everywhere.

Imagine you getting my brain! :eek:
