I want to know what is required reading to get a degree.

If you want to get a good grade you go to the peer reviewed literature. If one bases one's undergraduate essays on a text book you will get an average grade at best.

Text books are really only used for high school and lazy undergrads. Anyone who got a good grade in a science degree knows this.

It is zero based purely on the observation of natural processes. It is the observation of purely natural processes that leads to your delusion of supernatural processes. You are deluding yourself by restricting yourself to purely natural observations.

Natural observations are all that there appears to be. Nobody has evidenced supernatural observations.

Humans were hunter-gatherers before then. Developments in social structures, tool technology, domestication of plants and animals and possibly changes in climate led humans to start to settle in areas rather than roam around, though the exact reasons for this are not completely clear, though it's a fascinating area of study.

Sure they did. What you are preaching is that for 99% of the time since
pre-humans diverged from Chimps, prehistoric people lived in Caves and chased little animals to eat. SUDDENLY is less that 1% of same time, Humans have gone from Caves to the Moon and back safely. And guess where all this CHANGE from prehistoric to modern Human began? EXACTLY where God told us it did in Gen 8:4 and in the Cradle of Human Civilization on this Planet. http://www.fsmitha.com/h1/map00-fc.html

What a coincidence! Occam's Razor slices the False ToE into bits. Amen?

Correct.

When I achieved a graduate degree in human physiology, we had to perform much of our work, reviewing and analyzing many different scientific studies on the same. We did use the same text book medical students use for human physiology, but the bulk of the work was done relying on scientific studies.

Humans (descendants of Adam) ate plants and Adam farmed with NO evolution, but the sons of God (prehistoric people) ate meat they could catch to take home to the Cave. You are confused because you THINK prehistoric people were Humans (descendants of Adam). This is False since Adam was made from the dust and prehistoric people evolved from the common ancestor of Apes.

Florida:>>Now you're making unsubstantiated claims. Where's your scientific evidence?

Today's Science is totally Ignorant of the time when Adam was made because it was BEFORE the Big Bang of our Cosmos, on another world. The ONLY evidence available is found in Genesis, which you dismiss as UnTrue Myth or Fiction. The scientific evidence is within all Humans.

All Humans (descendants of Adam) have inherited Adam's superior intelligence which is like God's. Gen 3:22 It is what separates Humans from ALL other living creatures.

ALL Humans (descendants of Adam) have also inherited the DNA and ERVs of the common ancestor of Apes. This combination is HOW God has produced some 7 Billion Humans alive today and soon to be 10 Billion Humans alive, soon.

IF we had only developed from the common ancestor of Apes, we would still be living like any other animal, as EVERY other species shows. NONE of them have magically developed our superior intelligence, even after some 6 Million years for old slow moving Evolution to change them into Humans.

The weak link in the False ToE is that it CANNOT explain HOW or WHEN magical evolution produced the superior intelligence of Humans. History CAN and Does show the arrival of the First Humans on this Earth some 10-12k years ago and NONE of you can refute this Truth. http://www.fsmitha.com/h1/map00-fc.html

It is only evidence-free for to those who have never experienced the supernatural or are simply ignorant of it.

The existence of theists going back even before the beginning of recorded history is evidence for the supernatural. The reason why theism exists is because of our experience of the supernatural.

It's not our fault if you have never experienced the supernatural or are simply ignorant of it. That's your fault.
By showing that fat old men cannot climb chimneys with a bag full of toys over their shoulder.
The claims are based on the eyewitness testimonies of those who observed the virgin birth and the resurrection, and by those of us who experience the supernatural effects of God in our daily lives.

Ignorance is not an excuse:

*For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.*
-- (Rom 1:20).
Equating biblical history with The Iliad demonstrates your ignorance of biblical history.

All you have is claims. No evidence.

So text books are written by people that never read books. I use to wonder about this because my dad only read science journals. He never read books. He would even write an article ever now and then.

Aman:>>2. The evidence is in the Scientific Facts, some of which are just now being discovered and which are listed in Genesis. NO man of the time could have possibly known that it was Millions of years AFTER the Big Bang before the first Stars lit up, since was only recently discovered by Space Telescopes.


florida2 What might these facts be?

So do you think the Earth, night and day and the seas were formed before the Sun?

Adam's world was made 2nd Day. Gen 1:6-8

The Big Bang of our cosmos was on the 3rd Day Gen 2:4. The first Stars in our Universe lit up on the 4th Day. Gen 1:16 Now, it's your time to tell us HOW ancient men who lived thousands of years BEFORE Science could have possibly known that...as well as many more things, some of which are currently being discovered, such as the fact that we live in a Multiverse, in Genesis?

Space Telescopes have only recently confirmed that it was some 500 Million years AFTER the Big Bang before the first Stars lit up. Does that give you some idea of HOW long a Day (period of labor) is to God? Some all knowing scientists today should read Genesis since it is advanced to today's Scientific Knowledge...IF you have the proper interpretation.

Adam world was totally destroyed in the Flood ll Peter 3:3-7 and on the SAME Day that Adam's Earth was clean dissolved, Noah arrived in Lake Van, Turkey in the mountains of Ararat and brought Adam's superior intelligence to this Planet of the sons of God (prehistoric people) who had been here for MILLIONS of years before Noah arrived. Amen?

What does any of this have to do with the topic of the thread?

Can you please start presenting evidence instead of empty assertions? I would appreciate it if you wouldn't spam this thread with the same material you repeat in other threads.

Saint Nicholas, also called Nikolaos of Myra, was a historic 4th-century Christian saint and Greek Bishop of Myra. The Santa Clause character over 1000 years later was sort of loosely based on the very real Bishop. I am not sure about toys, he use to leave fruit or candy in the children's stocks they were sleeping. They only had one pair of socks and they would wash them and hang them by the fire to dry when they were sleeping. The little boys or girls that were naughty did not get fruit or candy, they got sticks and coal to throw in the fire to show that our sins can be cleansed and we can be clean and pure before God.

According to Harvard University biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham: Our hominid ancestors could never have eaten enough raw food to support our large, calorie-hungry brains. The secret to our evolution, he says, is cooking. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/cooking-up-bigger-brains/

Noah brought cooking to our Earth. Gen 8:20 Without this, there were only 1 million people alive, 10-12k years ago when Noah arrived. Soon there will be some 10 Billion Humans alive and those who study Evolutionism haven't seemed to notice this change. They continue to make up Fantasies to explain their ignorance that Noah brought Humanity to our Planet of the common ancestor of Apes. Amen?

Abraham was a Chaldean from Ur. They actually knew quite a bit about Astronomy back in his day. Only they had a lot of astrology or error mixed in. The knowledge went from Ur to Babylon and we know what happened there. Saddam Hussein tried to rebuild the city but he failed. As the Bible says the city will never be inhabited again.

Why did God reject Cain's offering?

Isa65:25 "The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent's food. They will do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain," says the LORD.

I tell you God's Truth and you IGNORE it just like most scientists do. Is it because you THINK that you know more than God about the Creation? Is that why Evolutionists reject God's Truth?

I am making my argument against ERVs and the other Lies which are being force taught to our babies in elementary School. Have you no shame? Since you find it impossible to refute God, you DEMAND changeable scientific evidence even when today's Science is totally ignorant of what happened before the Big Bang. God knows and told us in Genesis. Amen?

Today's Astronomy is STILL ignorant of the Scriptural fact that we live in a Multiverse. God made 1 Heaven on the 2nd Day Gen 1:6-8 and other HeavenS (Plural) on the 3rd Day. Gen 2:4 When do you suppose that today's Science will discover what is written in Genesis?

So text books are written by people that never read books.

You love non-sequiturs, don't you? Nobody would think text books are written by people who never read books. But text books are influence by parties involved in the procurement of said texts (such ashttp://www.nea.org/home/39060.htm]Fundamentalist re-write science text books to push their agenda[/url]).

The problem with text books is that they date very quickly: whereas using primary research can be barely weeks old. When I was a psychology undergrad we did not know how lithium worked for Bi-polar disorder. Now we do.

Because Cain didn't offer it by Faith.

Heb 11:4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
