• 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...?

Haha!
LOL
That's a completely ridiculous statement.
Every system is irreducibly complex.
It simply needs the essential parts to function.
Take away an essential part, and it doesn't function anymore.

How can a sane person even doubt this?

It is the additional claim that such systems can't evolve which Behe has never supported with any evidence. In fact, we have the step by step evolutionary pathway for the irreducibly complex mammalian middle ear preserved in the fossil record.

Yes, we know that. But you have not shown a logical reason for you to believe that.
He has, but you don't see it.
Probably because you can't accept a divine foot in the door.

Because otherwise you would go blind without that added protection from radiation. Part of the plan to enable you to see in the first place. the fact you think an animal that lives in water should have the same eye composition and functionality as one that lives in air (or you think we should believe that) shows your confusion.

You design a sub differently than you design a boat or a car.

This nonsense does not explain why fish have the same eye that we do and not the eye of the octopus. You need to support your claims with real evidence, not with nonsense that you found on a creationist site.

That's why I present facts instead of beliefs.



Planaria have neither a brain nor a heart, and yet they have eyes.

How does the organism use these "eyes" to see? How do we know those are eyes?


That we all descended from a common ancestral population of cells that have DNA is one of the major conclusions of biology. How is that a problem? Are you saying that you accept universal common ancestry for all species?
No, I was asking how cells and DNA evolved if they cannot work apart from eachother.

The process of embryonic development and biological reproduction both occur without any detection of intelligence anywhere in the process.
God created us to reproduce; the very process of reproduction was designed.

Neither has the evolution of meaningless parts into a meaningful system.

Sorry, but acting irrationally seems to be your trait, not mine. If you showed reliable evidence for this deity I would accept it. The plain and simple fact is that you have no reliable evidence.

Give us all this evidence then.

You have been given evidence and you rejected it. That is not what an honest person does. There are literally mountains of scientific evidence for the theory of evolution. But you don't even understand the concept of evidence yet. You need to crawl before you can walk and you can't even roll over on your own yet.

They speak of this mountain all the time, but it seems to be an invisible mountain

When you demonstrate that you understand the concept of evidence then you can demand it. So far you have only shown that evidence is a foreign notion to you.

Your 'evidence' wasn't enough to prove that evolution is valid I'm sorry to say.

You keep saying that. I guess if you keep saying something it eventually becomes true.

He keeps saying that because it is true. If you want to challenge any part of his claim he can support it with evidence. Meanwhile you have no reliable evidence at all for your beliefs. Just because you follow an intellectually bankrupt concept you should not assume that everyone else has no capital too.

Wrong, you won't let yourself learn. For those who have not blinded themselves the evidence is more than ample. Again, when you are ready to learn I will gladly help you.
