    Do it without magic.

    No, It wasn't really. But science tests itself by taking into account multiple theories which can agree with each other. Like in biology. Biology is made up of a multitude of theories which when taken together cross confirm and support each other which lend credence to each individual theory...

    Do it without magic.

    And yet science is responsible for everything you enjoy in life today. Exclusively! Science is why you get to be on the internet, mass produced your bible, delivered you into the world, made every thread you wear and sleep on, put all your food on the shelf, is why you have a toilet to flush...

    Do it without magic.

    No, it's to draw contrast. They are synonymous. If a supernatural event was used in the creation of life then how is science seriously supposed to test the properties of that event and make sense of it? Since the supernatural and miracles by definition defy the laws of reality and science can...

    Do it without magic.

    Okay, so for those that don't accept evolution. How did all the animals on the earth today come to be here if they didn't evolve through a natural process of common descent and natural selection? And can you give an honest explanation where magic, miracles or the supernatural is not necessary?

    Micro to Macro: Working Backwards

    Because we can prove that animals with similar features are not closely related. The Colugo, Flying squirrel and sugar gliders are an example of this. You can apply my challenge to them and easily leave them apart. Because there are features that distinguish them as being in separate families...

    The Link Between IQ, Religiosity and Academic Subjects

    I think the point here is the underlying philosophy. It depends on which direction you approach it. Religion promotes a philosophy wherein one must accept everything that they're taught without question (by the church) and to reject all information that contradicts that. The moment you KNOW...

    Probability that a species had NO Evolution

    Really? Have you really looked at it? And I mean really looked at it? Have you read any of the evidence on it, the tests preformed and repeated to support it? What do you really know about how cellular biology works? What do YOU know of geology or chemistry or physics? Cause I'm willing to bet...

    Probability that a species had NO Evolution

    Why? Wouldn't it be greater evidence of God's miracle to just leave it that way? A constant reminder to cherish women as a part of us and vice versa?! Why heal up the only evidence that ever happened thereby eradicating any reminder and leaving it up to humans to believe whatever they want to...

    Probability that a species had NO Evolution

    If Eve was created from one of Adam's rib bones, then why to men still have an even number of Rib Bones?

    Evolutionists - How You're Fooling Yourself

    Might very well be. Wait... who's temptations? God's or Jesus'?

    Evolutionists - How You're Fooling Yourself

    Didn't the Holy Ghost take Jesus to a place that Jesus didn't already know? If either Jesus and/or the Holy Ghost were both God then why would this be necessary, or even possible?

    Which came first? plants or animals?

    Your argument is invalid. Simply making predictions doesn't mean anything especially when the chances of being fulfilled are so high. Example? Then president Dwight D. Eisenhower predicted that people would would one day deny that the Holocaust ever happened and took steps to record specific...

    Micro to Macro: Working Backwards

    I would like to take the opportunity to repeat my challenge since EternalDragon hasn't posted his response to it. Although I do encourage anyone who would like, to take this challenge. Define all of the characteristics in common with all animals without including Humans as one among them...

    you guys.. nothing can't create something. Nothing doesn't consist of anything.

    As it is impossible to distinguish the differences between the deities of different religions then how are we supposed to "KNOW" in our heart? What if the deity of another religion I'm not familiar with is actually the real one and accepting them fulfills me? I mean, Buddhists seem pretty sure...

    Micro to Macro: Working Backwards

    Define all of the characteristics in common with all animals without including Humans as one among them. Define all of the characteristics in common with all Human beings without including any other apes. Define all of the characteristics in common with all living extant species of ape...

    Evolution - Rescuing out-of-place Fossils

    This is the exact reason why scientists are required to record everything they do. That way other scientists can redo the tests in search for error or bias. That's apparently what happened here. That's how the scientific method works. Another WIN for science in my book. The word of a scientists...

    Evolution - Rescuing out-of-place Fossils

    The title said "Fossils"... the title implied plural. I expected to see more than a few Theropod fossils which were inaccurately dated and then redated and placed exactly where we'd expect to find them. Where are the fossil bunnies walking along side tiktalik and piltdown man?! I demand...

    Micro to Macro: Working Backwards

    You're right of course. There's is no distinction between the two. The only difference is time, or more appropriately the number of generations needed to carry the small variations within a species on to distinguish larger variations between species. Otherwise they're both still evolution, which...

    Micro to Macro: Working Backwards

    Possibly. If those two micros produced enough variation to distinguish the population from related populations as well as the population it descended from, I don't see why not.

    Micro to Macro: Working Backwards

    No, we're using pictures to try and convay something that is clearly too complicated for you to grasp without the use of analogies. And even this appears to be too confusing for you. Microevolution is small mutations which usually result in small superficial changes in an animal's appearance or...
