Do you believe everything you read? I have this bridge for sale...

What's all this about changing ends? If they could all agree beforehand where they want the ball to be, it would save a lot of effort. Or maybe they should have a ball each.

If you don't know where they are, I certainly don't.

Is GodDidIt?

You appear to agree with me that GodDidIt cannot explain why things are one way, and not another way. This means that it is not a real explanation for anything.

For something to be an explanation of a set of phenomena, it must make it clear why those phenomena are one way and not some other way. This is why GodDidIt or TheDesignerDidIt are not explanations. God or the Designer could have done anything whatsoever, for any reason whatsoever, or for no...

Variation can lead to speciation. That's "macro-evolution". I would be fascinated to hear about "facts and information that speaks against prevailing ones". So would all the world's biologists. What are they? You (creationists) are the only ones who ignore facts, and who bring...

Scientists form hypotheses for explaining the evidence, and then seek further evidence to confirm or disprove those hypotheses. If the hypothesis explains a broad range of independent lines of evidence, and is not contradicted by any observations when a huge number of observations have been...

Love the show of indignation over being misled (a false accusation), while the basic M.O. of professional creoIDologists is to lie their heads off. All the time.

Is that a sort of ointment?

Evolution explains how and why life changes over time. It explains the data that is available to us. It assumes that the world exists, and that life exists because - well - they do, don't they? There is not enough data available concerning the beginnings of life for anyone to be able to say...

Genesis is not the Gospel. A scientific theory is "a set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena". (Free Dictionary). As...

Lifted out of a private debate between myself and Aman777, I'd be interested to learn what you imagine the refutation to be. It's easy to make claims like this, but meaningless, and useless, unless you can back them up. Nowhere have I said that "all the ERVs in humans and chimpanzees are...

Mark, it is not very graceful for you to but into a debate between two people. I have started a new debate thread for the two of us. I have started it by responding to the statements you have made in the above post of yours. Go to http://www.christianforums.com/t7782779/

The first refers to the earth. The second two refer to figures drawn (in our imaginations) on the surface.

Anti-NGSS lawsuit filed in Kansas

Oh, I think we can agree that the physical world exists and that life exists, can't we? Science has worked out a lot about how both work. What has Unnaturalism worked out?

My wife saw that report before me, but didn't say which males made the most attentive fathers, the owners of bigger or smaller jewels. I successfully told her the right answer and explained it using evolutionary principles. :P

Natural selection will account for the minority that happen to be adaptive, but the majority will have become fixed by drift. Bottlenecks will play a part (hominids have never been populous species until the recent human exception), but we are talking about accumulation over a very long period...
