  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Which scientific experiments were done by you? What predicitons were verified by these experiments? Where and how did you document your data?

You obviously don't know very much about biology. Callipepla gambelii, Gambel's Quail, and the California Quail, Callipepla californica, are indeed two different species. (See how the second word in the scientific name is different? This denotes a different species.) And they do interbreed. Comparing different species of quail that interbreed is no different from comparing different equine species that do.

Nope not a theory, it is a religious belief and possibly a hypothesis. For it to be elevated to a theory, you need to test it by gathering data and doing experiments. What experiments do you propose to test the hypothesis that God (I assume that "God" here refers to your god) created the heavens and the earth? If there aren't any, than it is untestable, and thus unscientific and clearly not a theory.

Just as both Bobwhites and Coturnix Quail are quails, horses and donkeys are both equids, perissodactyls, mammals, amniotes, tetrapods, vertebrates, cordates, deutrostromes, animals, eukaryotes, and biots.

If all it takes to show that two thing are the same kind is the ability to call them the same thing, then horses and donkeys are of the same kind.

If all it takes to show that two things are not of the same kind is the ability to call them different things, then each quail species is a separate kind.

Using your logic, Blacks and Whites are at the same time separate kinds and the same kind (Human).

Do you see how arbitrary and ineffective your logic is?

In fact, the donkey and the horse comparison is no different biologically from the "two quails" comparision:

Domesticated Horse=Equus caballus
Donkey= Equus asinus

See? They share the same genus name and thus are grouped similarly.

Different in what sense?


I suppose we will hear how Blacks and Whites and all races share exactly the same genes, but we don't we have different pigment genes and different structural differences.

Do historians do experiments on history books? The bible is a history book, put together in a very compelling way. It is the best history book I have ever seen, it's too compelling to be dismissed as a hoax, that is why you are here.

Sure! Go look at a black man and see that his pigment genes make him a different color than white or other humans. See the build and facially different structure Oriental and Black people have, or if you wish call White people different. I am not prejudiced at all.

Heck Jesus may have been pretty dark skinned too.

Similar to how humans and Chimps are the same yet different.

Biologically, there really is no such thing as race. "White," "Black," etc. are simply cultural concepts based only partially on biolgoy. Ethnic groups are a more accurate way to apportion up humanity. That being said, there are no such thing as "Black" genes, "White" genes, "Jewish" genes, "English" genes, etc. What distinguishes different ethnic groups is not different genes, but different frequencies of genes. (This includes "zero" as a possible frequency.) Humans are really one freely mixing population, 80% of the genetic diversity occures in suppopulations and 20% occurs between subpopulations.

Who are these intelligent people? Scientists that came up with the theory of evolution only to admit on their deathbed that much is missing?

I have not seen one person EVER prove the bible to be fallicy.

Big words! You are smart at least in your wording. I don't understand exactly what your saying here.

But thee must be something that makes the races LOOK different. Of course there is ad there are genes that Colored people carry that others do not. It must be a gene thing, because we LOOK a lot different.

No, that's why history is not a science.

The bible is a religious text. Like all religous texts it contains history, legends, mythology, stories, morals, folk lore, among other things.

It is the best history book I have ever seen, it's too compelling to be dismissed as a hoax, that is why you are here.

Really? To see why I am actually here, read posts #29 & #33 in this thread.

It´s the gene frequency not different genes. Like: a lot of colour, a little amount of colour, yet the same colour.
