    Some of the evidence for chimp-human common ancestry.

    “Deletion of a mission-critical section of nucleotides alone would offer thousands of way to cripple a gene. Combine that with all the other mutations that can cripple a gene and it turns out I've probably underestimated the possibilities by orders of magnitude.” JEP: This is very vague and...

    Happy Birthday to our Members!!!

    “So if you mean secular humanist then your are trully debating theism vs atheism, not one science vs another.” JEP: Well, actually I’m trying to debate abiogenisis. But it would seem you might want to veer the subject into another tangent. That’s OK. We can go there. Just please don’t put...

    Apolipoprotein AI Mutations and Information

    “Nice info, Ardipethecus. Notice that AiG plays the shell game when it comes to 'information'. They pick and choose what they will consider information and ignore anything else. Come to think about it, why are we surprised? That's the modus operendi for the professional creationists in general.”...

    The Big Bang Theory

    “Doesn't matter how the order could have occurred, or why. The very fact that it's possible to occur means that it does not violate SLOT. You still lose.” JEP: Well, LOL,,,If I’m going to lose, it certainly won’t be because you are making an argument based on logical fallacies. “The very...

    Project Steve

    “If I recall, none of which were biologists. ” JEP: In all honesty I don’t remember what the scientists were. I do remember being impressed that I was aware of most the universities they taught at. But one doesn’t have to be a biologist in order to study evolution. There are many...

    "I am confused." JEP: Funny, I thought you were Yinlowang. ;) But what are you confused about??

    “Spontaneous" in science refers to reactions that produce heat or to events occurring as a result of internal rather than external causes. Even the vernacular definitions refer to "without apparent causes," not "without causes." The scientific definition of "spontaneous" doesn't have anything to...

    “Again, this has been turned into theism vs Atheism.” JEP: Well, not really this particular debate. I have mentioned secular humanism and I was referring to exactly that. But I do recognize that there are evolutionists who are Christians. ”It doesnt work that way they dont "get one" just...

    "What does mices in grain got to do with chemical reactions?" JEP: Well, you gots to understand where the Jepman is coming from. Mices in grain don't have a darn thing to do with chemical reactions. But life from non-life has a bunch to do with one another. Now. The Jepman made a rather hefty...

    The Big Bang Theory

    ”Discriminating is not the same as ignoring. You cannot legitimately ignore those forms which are increasing simply to show that one particular form is decreasing in order to counter my argument. Fallacy of exclusion.” JEP: When did I say I was ignoring other forms of energy? Entropy is...

    Here's an interesting and timely subject that quite fascinates me. Did you know that a company has come up with a way to take garbage, turkey guts left over from poultry processing, worn out tires, used paper, torn down lumber, and anything else that contains carbon and process this into oil...

    Project Steve

    “Project Steve was started in response to a similar Creationist project. The Creationists got themselves 50 (?) 'scientists' that agreed with a vague statement regarding evolution not being an accurate description of origins.” JEP: Oh. I see. I wasn’t getting it. I’m familiar with that...

    “Isn't this a bit of a contradiction?” JEP: No, not at all. ”Special creation IS spontaneous generation.” JEP: No, special creation would be non-spontaneous generation. The word ‘spontaneous’ as used here is a scientific word meaning that a process or event happens by itself and is not...

    "I dont believe abiogenesis is considered a theory yet." JEP: Well, the secular humanists that I converse with all over the Internet need to get one. How else are they going to counter on how they got here when I tell them they were created?? :) "I would suggest though checking the...
