Atheism is about 5% of the global population n is on its way out. CERN is about to change everything u want to believe

Why is atheism on the way out? Hopefully it is on the way in as mankind becomes more rational. What is CERN about to change, and how do you know?

Also, you didn't answer my question from last time. If a scientist designs and then creates life, does that make him God?

Why do ppl act as tho they are so educated n act as tho they are not subjective in their scientific truth..., look I gave u something to pursue n I am not going to educate u on the forums n do your work for u.... Science is still after the fact not behind it all.... He's another tidbit.... Your brain resonates at 7.83hz n the earth resonates at 7.83hz, now that said u think u could survive on earth being out of phase?

Is the theory of evolution really a theory
Yes.
The theory of evolution is used by the opponents of Christianity to ridicule the concept of creation so in the first place Christians are defensive.
Huh? Nearly all of the Christians I know agree with evolution. In my Catholic high school, we were taught that the theory of evolution is true.

Because it isn't subjective. It is objective.

If you can't even describe what you are talking about, why would I ever be compelled to pursue it? It seems that you are just slinging some sciency sounding words around to create the false appearance that you have a valid point.

When the Pope say it looks like evolution may be true it is difficult to work out what he is talking about or why he would want to talk about it in the first place.
I don't find it difficult to understand at all. He's educated enough to know that Christianity can't be true if it contradicts reality, and to realize that those in the past who said that God brought humanity into existence by other means simply didn't know any better, or were trying to convey symbolic truths.

A religion that needs to put its head in the sand in order for its teachings to make sense isn't a very strong religion, so he's not going to do that.

A "theory" means it is much more powerful than a mere fact. It takes millions and millions of facts to make the current TOE.
U mean like tesla vs Einstein lol. Have u seen what tesla said about Einsteins theories n why Einstein said about Tesla but how is Tesla portrayed in scientific "ARTS"

Same here.

Same where?

Since you claim to understand the science, why don't you go to my thread discussing the genetic evidence for human evolution.

I can do it here.



One of the scientific papers to discuss is this one:

"Given the size of vertebrate genomes (>1 × 10^9 bp) and the random nature of retroviral integration (22, 23), multiple integrations (and subsequent fixation) of ERV loci at precisely the same location are highly unlikely (24). Therefore, an ERV locus shared by two or more species is descended from a single integration event and is proof that the species share a common ancestor into whose germ line the original integration took place (14)."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC17875/

As it turns out, there are over 200,000 endogenous retroviruses in the human genome. Of those, more than 99% are found at the same exact spot in the chimp genome. This is smoking gun evidence for common ancestry.

One could just as easily say it's evidence of common design. The creator would use the materials available, so to find commonality could just as easily reflect common design. Gold and lead are only separated by one element.
What is wrong? References?
What are these evidences?
Where do creationists use it?
If you actually know anything about science, you know that it isn't done with youtube videos. Have any peer reviewed references that you are willing to discuss?

The video will answer all these questions. Actually, the video doesn't answer anything, it's the Berkeley Biologist in the video. If you prefer, you could read his book. Some would find the video more practicle for this discussion.

Peer reviewed? That's a meaningless term. "Peer"

Full Definition of PEER
1
: one that is of equal standing with another : equal; especially : one belonging to the same societal group especially based on age, grade, or status

In short, a peer is someone of the same group as another. The bible is peer reviewed and found to be 100% accurate. To say that something that is peer reviewed simply because people of the same group agree, doesn't provide validity.

The Creationist Biologist in the video is the peer of his counterparts that believe we evolved. In effect, the biologist is refuting his peers.

How does it support creationism?

The Cambrian Explosion supports creation because it shows that prior to it, nothing existed, then suddenly, everything exists. Exactly as the bible describes, all life was created at roughly the same time.

What information contradicts it?
See all of the above.

Why can't you discuss it?

Since I am discussing it, clearly your presupposition is wrong.

Evolution is too broad of a term, adapting and mutations are thrown under it which are all true and then they sneak common ancestry into it which is completely a pathetic move but it works and people fall for it. You dont need to debate evolution anyway, people get caught too much into it. The main reason its even debated is because atheists use it against christians. But if you look past evolution dogma then you can see how ridiculous their core beliefs are such as abiogenesis ( Failed hypothesis ) then things get uncomfortable for the atheist.

Why would it matter to science what Tesla and Einstein said about each other? I guess if I was into TMZ I might care, but honestly it doesn't interest me.
