Oh really?The only feature that can't possibly be the same as the remains were when they were alive, is the colour.
Sometimes you gotta plan ahead
Don't worry, I'll load up on enough for both of us.
Don't worry --- these guys won't give you the third degree --- you said the magic words: "I believe in evolution."I just don't see why the orgin of everything has to be such a big deal, it's not like we are ever going to know for sure. I mean, okay, I believe in evolution, but I also beliee everything is sacred and divine and that my gods effect my life. In my opinion the evidence points towards evolution, but people will see things differently depending on what they believe. For example, I believe in magic because I've seen it work. It's not about truth, it's about perspective.
--- That describes me to a tee.
I was born ignorant, and I'll die ignorant.
What a bunch of malarkey. It's clear why evolution is an embarrassment to real science.
If you were convinced of any of this theoretical dribble in school, whatever school it was did you a great disservice.
But, nobody said that the theory of evolution was for intellectuals.
For shame!As the saying goes we are all ignorant but in different things.
But some of us aren't as much in love with our ignorance as others. Some of us actually don't like being ignorant!
I have been told that the creationists motto is, 'Ignorance is bliss'.As the saying goes we are all ignorant but in different things.

I think it's hilarious that you would even attempt to use this argument as proof that people who "buy into" evolution are wrong, misinformed, or uneducated. I say this because I spent my entire childhood and part of my early adulthood elbows-deep in Christianity and the Bible. I've heard every key verse there is. I've read the Bible all the way through with my family once and another time as part of a year-long Bible study. I've spouted the same creationist nonsense as you are here. I've actually recited the "Darwin recanted his theories" lie word for word.Why would we waste our time and money on such a course when we know we will be fed evolution. How many creation seminars have you attended? How many creation led studies have you been a part of? How many times have you red the bible?
One of the tenets of your belief system is that you can never know the mind of God. God is mysterious; He does things on His own time, for His own purposes. How then can you even posit that one could be as educated in the "things of God" as they could be in the evidence and testable hypotheses of evolution? How very arrogant of you to position yourself as some sort of "God expert!"Perhaps you are just as uneducated in the things of God as we are in the things of evolution?
Does your ownership of a Bible make you infallible? I own a couple of Bibles too, you know.And you can say this because you are completely unbiased? And does your PhD makes you incapable of error?
So then, he's put aside the faulty religious concepts in favor of sound science and logic? Good for him!I'm married to an engineer and after 17 years, he has realized that logic is the only means by which we can learn.
Again, you're showing arrogance in assuming that we haven't done our research when it is you who openly states your unwillingness to even give it a perfunctory glance.I would argue that you are guilty of the same, having little interest in understanding the things of the bible.
You are free to feel that way, so am I. But you are not free to indoctrinate my children and my family and the children and families of other believers in God with your insistance that your theories are fact.
What are you saying? That if it's a drawing or a painting, then you're going to believe it wholeheartedly? Did you think your quote from the EA thread wouldn't count in this one? What's that you like to say? "PWNED!"Excuse me --- is this a picture, a drawing, or a painting?
I usually go by artists' renditions.
Wait...what? You said you like drawings! Now I'm confused...:oThat little Haeckel drawing doesn't fool me one bit.
Yes, absolutely. Better to keep the flock in line if you convince them that thinking is bad.Paul says not to:
znip
This isn't the thread for it, but my "rejection" of faith wasn't due to creationist nonsense - although, I suppose it's part of the whole. My faith fell away gradually as I studied more and more, both within and without the Bible and the Christian doctrine.Let me guess... You rejected your faith when you found how ridiculous creationism is?
--- That describes me to a tee.

There's a reason he's been on my ignore list for more than a year. This place would be a lot better if more people followed my lead. At the very least stop letting him change the subject all of the time with his silly word games.They're just names.
It's like you deliberately try to go off topic when you' know that continuing down the current topic will end up with you having to question everything you blindly beileve, so you change the topic ASAP, to avoid you suffering from a logic overload, short circuiting your brain and causing you to have a seizure.
Whether that's consciously, or without you noticing, it's painfully obvious to the rest of us.
well i cant speak for coderhead but i could tell you why I decided Christianity was bunk, although its not as simple as simply creationism, but it sure doesn't help, that's for sure.Let me guess... You rejected your faith when you found how ridiculous creationism is?
Well, for the record, the Theory of Evolution runs on three big fallacies:
- fake drawings
- god-of-the-gaps
- outdated software
What happened?well i cant speak for coderhead but i could tell you why I decided Christianity was bunk, although its not as simple as simply creationism, but it sure doesn't help, that's for sure.
No, thanks be to God, I'm a little more vigilant than you think I am.
That little Haeckel drawing doesn't fool me one bit.
