Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
thanks, I do not know who Fanny Crosby is but will have a look.Wow ... that was good!
You're not related to Fanny Crosby by any chance, are you?

cheers!
You are pretty good at resisting calls toHere is what the moth has to say.. lol.
In depths of night, where shadows reign,
I, the howl moth, shall now explain,
My eyes, a marvel, God's design,
Beyond the reach of reason's line.
In silent woods where moonlight gleams,
God wove a tale within my beams.
With each blink, His grace does shine,
In every gaze, His love divine.
Not mere chance nor evolution's dance,
Could craft such sight, this mystic trance.
For in my eyes, His artistry lies,
A testament to the Creator's skies.
So heed my words, you skeptics wise,
In every creature, God's hand lies.
No evolution, no random chance,
Could fashion beauty in this dance.
So let my howl echo through the night,
A hymn to God, in His pure light.
For in my eyes, His wonders rise,
A fable spun beneath the skies.
Sorry it came to mind and could not resist.
You are pretty good at resisting calls to recognize how absurd your claims are.
You are playing a highly deceptive game with words, intentionally or otherwise. Let me assume you are correct in claiming that DNA has these mechanisms. Here, from the reputable Cleveland is the even-handed, fair, and non-deceptive way to frame things (I added the bolded part):
Genetic mutations are changes to your DNA sequence that happen during cell division when your cells make copies of themselves. Your DNA tells your body how to form and function. Genetic mutations could lead to genetic conditions like cancer, or they could help humans better adapt to their environment over time.
You characterize all mutation as "errors" since you cannot countenance the truth that some of these "errors" yield benefit, not damage. A gullible reader of your argument will think "well, if all mutations are errors, this cannot possibly lead to a fitter (i.e. "better") animal as proponents of evolution believe since errors invariably make things worse".
But the truth is that while in a very strict technical sense, all mutations are indeed copying errors, what really matters is whether this "error in copying" hurts or helps the organism. An "error" can have good consequences despite your implications to the contrary. If I commit the error of losing my passport that is an error. But if that error causes me to miss a flight that crashes, this error is a benefit to me.
Lactose tolerance, ability to ingest gluten, higher bone density, resistance to malaria in certain populations in Africa, resistance to HIV in certain European populations, ability to move cholesterol inside the human body to the liver meaning lower risk of heart disease.Can you show some copying errors that advanced "evolution" ?
I've got tons that are killing machines.

Those are ones I found looking up 'positive mutations' on Google.
And what was the cost to the organism ?Lactose tolerance, ability to ingest gluten, higher bone density, resistance to malaria in certain populations in Africa, resistance to HIV in certain European populations, ability to move cholesterol inside the human body to the liver meaning lower risk of heart disease.

Would it suit you to have "bible", "your faith"Can you show some copying errors that advanced "evolution" ?

And what was the cost to the organism ?
When hemoglobin molecules get mutated, it causes sickle cell anemia, would you volunteer to have this mutation?
You dont understand the relationship to malaria?And what was the cost to the organism ?

How did they "acquire" them?If you want it from a creationist perspective, how does this sound:
In 4004 BC, God creates the Noctua kind.
Fast forward to 2348 BC, and the Noctua board the Ark.
After the Flood, the Noctua fly off and, if it doesn't have them yet, they acquire these "eyes" as a defense mechanism against predators.
Lactose tolerance,
You do know that most educated Christians have no problem understanding evolution?
That the "denier" churches draw their membership from "the trailer park", the lowest rungs of the socioeconomic ladder?
That to disprove a theory you need contrary facts, not quotation marks and questions?
Curious if you know / will admit the above is true.
Would you explain this further please?
Why are you considering lactose tolerance a benefit of evolution?
It looks to me like you're saying that, if it wasn't for evolution, we would all be lactose intolerant.
How did they "acquire" them?
Yes, lactose tolerance is benefit. Because if you try and have anything with lactose when you can't, the results are nasty,
How is the tolerance to lactose then not a benefit of evolution?
You claimed you had made your last post on this thread. Despite that I asked if you might take the time to anwer my questions from post #93. I asked this, and repeated the question, in post #103 . Now, for your convenience I repeat them again here and ask that you please repsond.Here is what the moth has to say.. lol.

I submit lactose intolerance is the exception, not the rule.
it makes perfect sense, would you trade sickle cell anemia for malaria resistance? Because that's what happens.Your comment makes no sense. The organism was getting a positive beneficial mutation, thus allowing the organism to live, thrive and produce offspring. That's all there is to it. It's not a cost related thing in the slightest.
And you can't 'volunteer' to get a mutation. Mutations occur. Mutations are the reason your hair colour is what it is, your eyes are the colour they are, whether you have wisdom teeth or not.
68% of the world is lactose intolerant. I'll leave it at that.
