Evolution 404

[Obliquinaut]

I don't consider myself a Homo sapiens.

Paul warns us not to.

And if we did our science per first century CE folks we wouldn't have to see your opinion on a computer.

 

[Subduction Zone]

I don't consider myself a Homo sapiens.

Paul warns us not to.

So you are a Homo erectus? Or perhaps a Australopithecus afarensis, that smile looks like one.

Kind = genus.

Jolly good. So now creationists can start using the same terminology everybody else uses - until somebody trips them up over it, and then they will insist that genus and kind are not synonyms.

 

[AV1611VET]

Reality care not of your opinion.

Unbelievers' reality consists only of things "under the sun."

Paul knew a lot about twenty first century biology, didn't he? I don't remember seeing him mention σοφος ανθροπος in his writings anywhere. In fact I don't remember him talking about biological species at all.

Trip me then, and I'll stop using it.

But until you do: kind = genus.

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

What does "Homo sapiens" mean in English?

What does "Homo sapiens" mean in English?

homo sapientia? It means human wisdom.

 

[AV1611VET]

homo sapientia? It means human wisdom.

By that standard, are you wise?

 

[lesliedellow]

By that standard, are you wise?

My dear boy, the extent of my wisdom is beyond all understanding.

 

[VirOptimus]

And?

Yeah, I missed PZ Meyers. But if Ray Comfort attempted to show up Meyers I would immediately suspect creative "editing".

Again, a man with a track record of misrepresenting/misinterpretting science who focuses on some "observation" gambit as a critique of science is not going to get much time from me. Considering that it is a disingenuous point at best and it is being leveraged to misrepresent science.

Observation is important in science, but that means observation of the DATA. You don't have to see the individual molecules react to characterize the chemical reaction. You don't have to see the crime committed to solve it through forensics.

PZ later speaks about editing and how he further explained Ray's questions, that never made it.

Nobody really takes Ray seriously, do they?

 

[Non sequitur]

Right
Right
I know what Ray said
I've watched the video several times

Ray
made a serious mistake
telling me the truth about God
Mr. Comfort is an idiot
Watch the video
Embarrassing, isn't it?

Of course,
I might be lousy at
science
QED

I strongly agree with the words you used.

Certainly no one with education in most of these topics. But what is worrisome is that many Creationists and evangelicals love his stuff.

His "take down" of atheists was risible at best. His mischaracterization/misinterpretation of science is scary. It's sad that too many people lack an interest in learning such that they would ever investigate the topics Ray is dishing out for them.

Appears so.

I think this might educate those who don't see the "take down" for what it is.

I might be lousy at Chutes & Ladders, but what does that say for those I beat?

That they are more favoured by Lady Luck than you? Perhaps their prayers are more powerful than yours? There's no skill in the game, it's 100% luck of the roll.

 

[AV1611VET]

There's no skill in the game, it's 100% luck of the roll.

Would you say that about Backgammon?

 

[Bungle_Bear]

Would you say that about Backgammon?

No.

 

[Mr Laurier]

This guy wasted evolutionists and made them go 404.

Even though the video is not available, enough people have pointed out that its Ray Comfort, resorting to his trick of asking questions to drunk college students on march break.
And then editing their reply in post production.
Comfort is nothing if not dishonest
