  • 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...?

In another thread, I tried to learn how did Neanderthals extinct. The conclusion is that we do not know. Just a bunch of speculations. Let me see what was the question unanswered. It seems to be: Neanderthals are strong people, why were they defeated?

Neanderthals are human, aren't they?
They were a different species to us, but very close.

They probably had a slower breeding rate and while they were better adapted for living in ice age Europe, they were possibly less innovative then us.

There IS. That is all I am arguing about.
The level of intelligence of animals varied between, for example, 1 and 10, then suddenly, human reached to the level of 1,000,000. That is when your "slightly increase" took place. After that, may be it increased slightly to 1,001,000 today. That is why on the list of skulls, the boundary between "monkeys" and human should be very very sharp and is not gradational at all. The difference is not on the morphology, but on the degree of intelligence.

How much is the intelligence difference between able and not able to raise fire? Only slightly, or huge?
Chimps and proto humans aren't so different.

And even modern humans got by with sticks and rocks for eons.

Millions and millions of years, hundreds of thousands of generations.

Human's are uniquely intelligent, and yes that has only happened once... but why can't that have evolved?

I know you have real need to say it's impossible, but if you don't have a reason then all you are doing is having a tantrum not a discussion.

Sure, and a video recording is only a sequence of still images.
IMO, if every fossil we had was made into a flip book, it would show instant arrival of species.

... two questions:

1. What exactly is it in evolution parlance?

2. According to evolution, did/do these things co-exist?

Same genus as us, different species.

Don't you know, Juve, if you leave a cd of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU sit for 600 million years, you can come back and hear it play the WILLIAM TELL OVERTURE?
Neither will my great grandmother's bones become a lawn chair. Evolution doesn't go by Pokemon rules.

Some of them coexisted, others did not. You do know that one species can evolve from another without the initial species going extinct, so I fail to see how that would even matter.

No, but a child in the womb can be removed and used to heat a hospital.

There you go again. I asked you: Do you have any actual SCIENTIFIC evidence that human intelligence was created and not evolved?
I don't want a comparison between a human and a completely different animal. I don't want you to simply say "you".
I want you to answer the freaking question, which you have repeatedly avoided answering!
Do you have any actual SCIENTIFIC evidence that human intelligence was created and not evolved?

You and your cat are my evidence, the best evidence.

Teach it to your children. We are no more smarter than chimps.
Shame.
Some people legitimately aren't. The average chimp is about at the level of a human 4 year old. The geniuses amongst other apes are often compared to children as old as 9. If we were so much more intelligent than these creatures, they shouldn't be comparable even to 1-2 year old humans, let alone 9.

Species is a label we came up with,
Yup.

Despite Paul's warning that calling yourself [Homo sapiens] can lead to [atheism].

I don't know why.
But I can see the fact.
And I don't see any hope that evolution can explain that fact.

I highly doubt anyone has become an atheist from recognizing the species name as valid in and of itself.

So Neanderthals are much much smarter than monkeys. The time for the evolution of high intelligence from monkeys is getting even shorter and become less likely.

Then you're just making a baseless claim, and there's no point in talking to you because you're just going to keep asserting it as if it is fact on the basis of "cause ya feel like it".
