  • 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 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.
You seem to fail to understand that I said they had the potential to be smarter. Survival of the most promiscuous sir, what reproduces survives, and what doesn't dies.

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".

I make the claim based on the fact. You are smarter than your cat.
Why is this baseless?

So is your great grandmother becoming a lawn chair.

-_- you not only previously cut out the important part of the post you are referring to, but you are additionally cutting out the part of my other post that called you out on it. Do you think people aren't going to read my posts themselves?

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

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

That's not evidence!! And I specifically asked you not to use comparisons between humans and animals as your 'evidence'.
I will ask you one more time for actual scientific evidence for human intelligence being brought about via creation and not evolution, or I will report you for being a troll.

We do not know potential. We only see the fact.
Animals failed the potential of being very smart for at least 1 billion years, if that potential ever exist.

Excuse me guys! what makes you so sure man is the most "intelligent" species on the planet, what about whales and dolphins?, or are the scientists testing the the mice or rat, or are they doing testing on us?

How do you define "intelligence" what does it have to do with "wisdom"?

Me being smarter than a cat has nothing to do with the evolution of intelligence, or more specifically, whether or not a deity is required for human intelligence to exist. It wouldn't matter if all other life forms on this planet besides us were as smart as a jellyfish. And you have failed to show how the gradient between animal and human intelligence would make a difference.

Human is much smarter than animals IS a scientific evidence of the argument.

So? How long it takes for a trait to appear is irrelevant to whether or not it can.

Here's your post in its entirety:
Neither will my great grandmother's bones become a lawn chair. Evolution doesn't go by Pokemon rules.
1. I don't know what "Pokemon rules" are.
2. Evolution runs on connect-the-dots, not "Pokemon rules."

In evolution, the survivor is the winner.
Whale is smart. But we put them on the list of "endangered animal". So we are evolutionally much much much smarter.
This is the fact.

Except your supposed argument doesn't make any sense, because his smart we are compared to other creatures has no bearing on how plausible it is that our intelligence developed through naturalistic causes. At least bring in the bible quote that mentions humans are the smartest animal on earth, because then I could at least understand the way you came to the conclusion. I can't even grasp your thought process here, it's too illogical.

I don't know about trait. But I can see the difference in intelligence. The evolution of intelligence is not likely to be true.

Humans are smarter than viruses, but Ebola puts us down, and kicks us while we're there. More than just intelligence matters.

They're taught they are double-wise (Homo sapiens sapiens).

Use cat, or dog is just an example. A better one is the monkey which is taken as our common ancestor. We are super smarter than that creature. This shows the evolution of intelligence is absolutely wrong.
