How to choose between creation and evolution.

[bhsmte]

You need to let science 'take a hike' for a while and research some other disciplines.

That always helps and is an excellent defense mechanism, when well evidenced reality, is too painful to acknowledge.

Ya -- science history is full of "well-evidenced reality," isn't it?

I used to wonder how people made it without science, then it occurred to me... they lived to be 900 years old.

Reality, there's only one!

More like an improvement, if you ask me.

No, being dishonest is never an improvement in debating. Of course if one can't win by debating the evidence one has to find an excuse. Or, and I am just floating this out there for your consideration, one could admit that one was wrong when all of the reliable evidence told him that was the case.

LOL!

In reality, not long ago in human history, many people didnt make it to 30 and died from infections that formed from dental infections and spread to their brain.

Things were a lot purer back then, and God often took an active role in the affairs of men.

Reality, there's only one!

And it can be your friend, or it can be your enemy.

Then where is the evidence of these long lives? All we ask for are reliable sources, not stories from the book that is in doubt. When one makes claims that should be verifiable with objective evidence and none is to be found it indicates that that claim is wrong.

 

[Subduction Zone]

And it can be your friend, or it can be your enemy.

Reality is our friend. If reality said that your beliefs were correct we would change our beliefs.

There is an easy way to see if someone is thinking rationally or not. Simply ask them what it would take to change their minds. If no amount of evidence will change their minds then they have admitted to not reasoning rationally.

But, reality to some, is far too painful to acknowledge.

I see, you cant, well, hot air it is then!

Gone but not forgotten.

Depends on what it is that needs changing.

This is patently false. We actually have DNA over 100,000 yrs. old, and people never lived to be 900 years old. It's ridiculous to think so.

 

[HitchSlap]

And it can be your friend, or it can be your enemy.

It can be one, or the other, but it can't be both.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Gone but not forgotten.

Not gone, never existed.

In some cases here pretty much everything.

 

[AV1611VET]

We actually have DNA over 100,000 yrs. old,

IF that's true, the DNA of that plant or animal has only been in existence for some 6100 years.

Support this with data and evidence.
