You said that we are 100% apes. Which is nonsense no matter which definition you will choose. Its nonsense even in a purely biological way.

Humans are 100% apes.
Humans are 100% primates.
Humans are 100% euarchontoglires.
Humans are 100% mammals.
Humans are 100% therapsids.
etc.

We can be from apes, but we are obviously somewhere else now.

You don't seem to understand monophyly or that you never stop being what your ancestors were.

 

[Tone]

Definitely not. Perhaps a parakeet or a lost kitten.

But in reality you are an ape.

I found this great quote on another thread!:

Faith is the "substance" from things hoped for, the evidence from things not seen. Faith is not a weak theory, but faith is actual substance from things hoped for. Faith is the evidence of things unseen. A theory may have some evidence to support the theory but a theory is unproven. This is why a theory needs much trial and practice. However faith means you posses the substance of what you are hoping for plus the evidence of the things unseen. How many theories or practice involve things not seen?

Yes, the bogus definition of faith from the Bible. Mark Twain had a much more accurate definition:

"Faith is believing something you know ain't true."

Mark Twain owes our martyrs an apology.

I wonder if his definition was the cause of anyone being martyred? or beaten?

Why? Are you claiming that your "martyrs" are not that bright?

Wrong light.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

No wonder academia favors Mark Twain's definition.

We had a missionary testify at our church she was beaten almost beyond recognition, and as she was being beaten, they were saying, "Tell us again! How did God create the world in six days!?"

Mark Twain is in aitch.

One can't be in a place that does not exist. And though barely possible I sincerely doubt the so called testimony of your guest at church. Lying for Jesus is unfortunately quite often a sin of Christians.

Wow -- that's pretty sad.

Wow -- that's pretty sad.

Yes, it is. Why some Christians do it is beyond me.

This thread is devolving...


*Which may be a good thing...

 

[Tone]

Whoa,what's this!:

*Dr. Schaefer (http://www.veritas.org/person/fritz-schaefer/), five time Nobel Prize nominee...in the video!

**I recommend starting at 30:00 in.

What sort of mistakes does he make?

Wow -- that's pretty sad.

We think so too.

It doesn't sound as if she was beaten for her faith in Christ.

 

[AV1611VET]

It doesn't sound as if she was beaten for her faith in Christ.

Why? do they sound differently or something?

 

[Speedwell]

Why? do they sound differently or something?

Based just on what you posted it appears that she was beaten for her belief that the world was created in six days. Nothing to do with belief in God or faith in Christ.

That said, her beating was cruel and horrible, whatever the reason for it.

I wouldn't be able to spot a Noble Prize nominee's mistake,let alone "mistakes" (emphasis mine)...you must be a scientific somebody if you have!

...who are you...really...?

So why should I watch it?

 

[Tone]

A new facet of science that allows man to studies God's creation in new ways. How's that for an answer?

Are there any really practical advances that came from Darwinism? Or is it all just another way to look at things? Serious question.

Do you call physics "Newtonianism?
