  • 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?

Are you saying that human and pig DNA is identical, which is why pig valves are not rejected by the patient's immune system?
Nope.

Do they have to be identical?

Can't they be slightly diverse, yet symbiotic?

What scientific law is broken by deep time?
None that I know of.

The laws were written to accommodate deep time.

Macroevolution is a violation of shallow time.

(Okay, I see the point being made. My bad.)

You are the one who said that human heart valves are rejected by human patients because of genetic diversity. You tell me.
Was that a wrong answer?

Owned by Evolutionists, judged by Evolutionists, and if you dare insult or bring proof against their precious "Darwinian Evolution" dynasty there will be hell to pay and your funding will cease to exist.
Are you kidding?

If you had proof overturning evolution you would be rich. First, you would win the Nobel prize. That is something like 3/4 million US $ right there for personal use. Imagine what you would get from speaking fees? Heck Sarah Palin was making over $100,000/engagement at the height of her popularity, and you would be a way bigger celebrity than her. You would be regarded as one of the great scientists of this era. Then you would get funding from the Templeton Foundation and other religious based organizations. You wouldn't know what to do with all the money you would get.

All you have to do is show the TOE is incorrect. Simple right?

Oh, please.

What's with the 20 questions?

Macroevolution can't be explained without deep time.

In fact, from Homo sapiens to SN1987A, this universe is portrayed on paper as a product of deep time.

Why do you think it is the right answer?
We're not like the cheetas, who are so genetically alike, yet teeter on the brink of extinction due to ... what's it called?

Inbreeding depression or something?

I don't know.

To be honest, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Outside of the Bible, I'm like a fish out of water.

Not only that but you would be described as an absolute hero in the scientific community

Science flourishes in a open environment without constraints of the various biases of other scientists.

Largely theocratic societies tend not to be open environments. For instance, in the USA there was a long time ban on doing Stem Cell research.

Two humans share more DNA than a human and a pig, yet pig valves are less likely to be rejected by a human patient than a heart valve from another human.

To be honest, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

I am talking about the fact that a pig heart valve has a lower chance of being rejected by a human patient than a human heart valve, or even a chimp heart valve.

And now explain how macroevolution violates those laws. And how microevolution does not.
Microevolution is essentially "Natural Selection". Natural Selection doesn't violate anything.
A baby changing over it's lifespan is a natural occurrence. Natural processes with-in a system.
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.

Creationists believe the genetic code is already in the animal for the variations to occur.

Macroevolution is just repeated rounds of natural selection over many generations.

So you are saying that a giraffe could give birth to a human?

No sir. It's not natural selection creating new life forms.

A giraffe and a coconut was produced from the same life form by the same process? Where on earth did that idea come from?

Define "new life forms". If you're talking about species, then you're wrong. Natural selection does lead to new species. Are you suggesting that genetic mutations and natural selection stops happening at a certain point?
