Evolution as a theory of creation is a JOKE

[AirPo]

How's come I happen to know though, that rocks would hold a genetic code if God ordained it?

Because you made it up.

 

[AV1611VET]

Because you made it up.

Along with the verse I quoted?

No, that's where you stopped making things up.

 

[Bombila]

AirPo's stating a truth though, AV. For a fellah that insists on the KJV having all the answers, you sure do a lot of airy speculation as to how Creation was accomplished and why there was a dangerous fruit tree in that garden in the first place. Angel food? Now, really.

 

[AV1611VET]

Angel food? Now, really.

What was manna?

Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

Fruit is meat?

 

[Cabal]

Fruit is meat?

Sounds like my kind of fruit tree.

Mmmm, steak tree.

Ya --- make your jokes --- and you wonder why I make stuff up?

Now you know --- (it's all a joke to you guys, as the Bible says it would be).

You know as well as I do that manna grows on the ground, don't you?

Like you've NEVER done the same in someone else's thread (Tony Robbins in a thread about fossilised footprints springs to mind). And anyway, who doesn't love a good steak?

Still waiting for an answer to: http://www.christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=51117444&postcount=75

Seeing as your explanation of the two viewpoints gives the exact same overarching result and all....

If your ideas are jokeworthy, it's not a stretch to predict that they will be joked about.

 

[Split Rock]

Either that, or there's no such a thing as abiogenesis.

This thread is supposed to be about Evolution, Not Abiogenesis.

Thanks for being honest. No joke.

Now to establish that he makes EVERYTHING up except for direct quotes.

That won't happen --- my order is:

1. Bible first
2. Basic theology second
3. Ad hoc (or, more appropriately, ad lib) answers (a.k.a. educated guesses) third
4. "I don't know" last

This is very interesting. So an "ad lib" is, for you, an "educated guess". But I suppose that stands to reason since education takes time and discipline, I suspect that for most Creationists this is the case.

I also like the fact that you'll resort to an "ad lib" BEFORE you admit you don't know. That's great.

While I'm sure you don't mean this, what it looks like to me is that you will make something up on the spot before you admit ignorance of a topic.

Oh well, we're all human. We all do stupid things like that from time to time. But most of us don't wave the banner decreeing that as the order of our standard process.

As I said before, when asked a question like, "What happened to the Flood water", I'll point someone in what I think is the right direction, before I give the dead-end answer, "I don't know".

 

[GoSeminoles!]

I am not saying that some animals have not mildly evolved over time to better adapt to their environment, but to think all life came from one cell animals and plants to what we have today is a JOKE!

Isn't it, though? I mean, c'mon! Pfft, a theory that make accurate predictions! What does that prove?!

 

[AV1611VET]

It's interesting that earlier I asked what comes first, the fossil or the species?

I can't remember anyone answering that question.

If this junk science is so predictable, then show me a species of mankind predicted BEFORE anything is found --- in other words, a true prediction.

The Bible makes predictions, some by giving the very name of the individual hundres of years before he is born.

By contrast, science is nothing more than trial-and-error, after-the-fact retroguessing, and blind as a bat, when it comes to the human race.

As has been asked before, what's wrong with admitting you don't know?

It's interesting that earlier I asked what comes first, the fossil or the species?

You, AV, cannot complain about unanswered questions. The species obviously comes first, otherwise there would be no fossil. You received plenty of answers, just not the ones you wanted. You'd probably prepared refutations for either answer, so that's why you got all in a huff when the answer was "none of the above."

Making up answers is why you talked yourself into a corner in the Embedded Age thread and were eventually ground up into, as Hespera put it, glacial silt. Don't you get tired of that? Admitting you don't know shows integrity, maturity, and most of all, faith.

Are you hiding your faith under a bushel?

OK. Darwin predicted that our ancestors would be found in Africa. This was based on evolution. He was right. The evidence shows our ancestors evolved in Africa and migrated into Eurasia, then to other continents.
