  • 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.

For anyone interrested in the evidence for evolution I would warmly like to recommend Benjamin Burger's youtube channel and Walter Jan's youtube channel.

Benjamin Burger is an Assistant Professor of Geology at Utah State University and his channel is focused on the evolutionary patterns in the fossil record. Walter Jan is a biology teacher. Many of Walter Jan's videos focus on the evidence for evolution and he is comparing the ideas of the theory of evolution against creation and the intelligent design models. Walter Jan goes cover a lot of topics such as anatomy and physiology, genetics, embryonic development, prehistoric life, comparative anatomy, etc, etc.

Do they offer evidence, based on the scientific method, for the view that only naturalistic mechanisms produced humanity, as well as all life, from an alleged single life form of long ago?

It'd be amazing if they did that.

Why don't you go take a look and be the judge yourself instead of asking me? Please do, and come back after you done so and tell me what your judgment was. Then, but only then, we can discuss your utterly foolish reply...

I watched the first one, nothing there about evidence, based on the scientific method, for the claim that only naturalistic mechanisms produced humanity, as well as all life we observe today, from an alleged single life form of long ago.

The second link doesn't offer anything, just links to other videos.

You can start with Walter's embryonic evidence for evolution.

And please let me know what he says is not supported by per reviewed publications.

You snookered me with the earlier links....there was no evidence offered. Now you offer nothing but another worthless link.

Do you understand what evidence, based on the scientific method, means? It's not referring to worthless links.

I will not look at anything that will challenge my faith.

That's not very brave. Are you so afraid that new information will cause you to reconsider your ideas? How will you ever grow and learn?

Links aren't evidence, based on the scientific method.

What do you mean 'evidence based on the scientific method'?

Evidence is evidence. We know no evidence will be acceptable to you so I don't know why you post on these threads.

The statement is self-explanatory. Offer the alleged evidence for how humanity was produced from an alleged single life form of long ago and verify it using the scientific method. What you'll not do is offer evidence which is based on the scientific method.

Evidence is evidence. We know no evidence will be acceptable to you so I don't know why you post on these threads.

You haven't offered evidence in this post and you'll not offer evidence in future posts. That's because the evidence doesn't exist.

I will not look at anything that will challenge my faith. I have more faith in GOD than desire for knowledge.

One, it isn't a challenge to your faith. Two, if you think learning will somehow damage your faith then it can't be all that steadfast to begin with.

Oh, I see what you mean. Nothing to do with the OP then.

You're not looking for evidence of the evolution of humans from previous organisms. You're looking for an example of a human springing from a single cell.

That is not evolution: no one has ever said it was so I'm baffled why you would demand this.

I might as well ask you to provide evidence of God creating Adam: do you see now?

Oh well done sir! In just two short sentences you perfectly encapsulate the toxic nature of religious faith.

Bravo!

It has everything to do with the OP.

You're not looking for evidence of the evolution of humans from previous organisms. You're looking for an example of a human springing from a single cell.

I'm looking for evidence, based on the scientific method, for the process whereby humanity, as well as all life we observe today, was produced from an alleged single life form of long ago.

That is not evolution: no one has ever said it was so I'm baffled why you would demand this.

I might as well ask you to provide evidence of God creating Adam: do you see now?

In the Darwinist view of evolution, only naturalistic mechanisms produced humanity from this alleged single life form of long ago. Thing is, there's absolutely no evidence, based on the scientific method for the view. It's based on guesses and suppositions.

Why would you think this has nothing to do with evolution?
