• 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.

What is the greatest evidence against the theory of evolution...?

So it has to be short and simple, yet it has to explain a complicated topic...I will repeat myself then:
God can, dead unconscious things can't explain the universe and living nature.

That's a claim, not evidence. The opening post asked for evidence, not empty assertions.

The evidence for me that some are beneficial is very inconclusive. You have failed to meet your burdon of proof.

This statement is a blatant violation of the rules.
It's not against the rules to say how things seem to be in your perception.
It wasn't nice though.

That would require a complete change in the laws of physics,
What do you think dad and I have been talking about all these years?

Well obviously we're still here, so ... no.

It is a well established fact in biology that organisms can adapt to their environment, it s sometimes referred to as "micro-evolution", which is not accurate, because it doesn't involve mutations.

Then all we have to do is show that beneficial adaptations are due to mutations, and you will accept evolution?

Stuff you don't understand.

No . . . as in the laws of physics were not different in the past. The changes required for DNA to not form a double helix would prevent every protein in your body from working properly. Your bones couldn't even form. You wouldn't be able to extract oxygen from the atmosphere.

Maybe, but it's about implementation of the present data, not corruption of existing data that miraculously turns out to be beneficial for temporary circumstances.

And even less evidence.
I linked to the evidence.
But you're obviously free to ignore it.

Iḿ sorry iḿ not able to condense the information provided by the hours of lecture in a comment that will actually be read.

How do you differentiate between implementation and corruption?
Are you really asking this?
How about a dictionary, look up the meanings and see the difference between implementation and corruption.
You can do it!

I find no definitions for "corrupting mutation".

How do you determine if a mutation is a corruption or an implementation?
