Lol
I had a feeling you would like that.
I'm a little confused here.
Are you saying you don't agree with that statement?
I would think you would be in total agreement.
Did she say something incorrect?
Yes.
- Do you believe we are of one kind? In a sense, but the word "Kind" is being used instead of the correct word for the context. I will explain further down.
- Do you believe we come from monkeys? No. Nor does Science or Evolution. That's my point. It's a false statement and always was.
- Do you need "proof"? Yes. Yes I Do.
Okay, I'll give you a couple of answers... sort of
lol Ok Mr. Sarcastic
I meant that not all were really questions, but question or not I wished others opinions.
Then scientific methodists would say there were too many species for the Ark at the time of the Flood.
Thus "species" is too low on Linnaeus' paper chart; that's probably been changed ten or fifteen times.
Scientific Methodists? Nice
No the term "Species" refers to a life form. It is the correct Egnlish word to use when speaking of life forms.
In Biology (Which is what Evolution is) Species: Biology . the major subdivision of a genus or subgenus, regarded as the basic category of biological classification, composed of related individuals that resemble one another, are able to breed among themselves, but are not able to breed with members of another species.
Kind: a class or group of individual objects, people, animals, etc., of the same nature or character, or classified together because they have traits in common; category: Our dog is the same kind as theirs.
You see, the word "Kind" is too specific, you could have a Bulldog and if your neighbour has a Bulldog, you both have the same kind of Dog.
But when talking about All dogs, a Dog is a "Kind" of what?
You will say animal.
Ok so what "Kind" is a Human?... Ape perhaps?
When speaking in terms of Biology, the word is "Species" No If's, no But's.
And that would make your head explode?
Yes. Would you trust a mechanic who doesn't know what the parts of a car are named?
If you were going to have surgery and the Dr. was using words like "Thingys" instead of "Testicles", would you be happy?
Because that's what we were initially taught.
After scientists lost the scopes trial, they "conveniently" discovered we didn't come from monkies after all, but from some other branch.
Ok, did you read the trial?
Firstly, Scopes was on trial for teaching Evolution. The only person who mentioned "Monkeys" was the prosecutor, Bryan.
This has always been a misconception. It's because Apes and monkeys both share a common ancestor, but since the very first moment of the very first monkey, there are no human descendants from any of these monkeys.
The monkeys thing pretty much came from those opposed to Evolution and with a misunderstanding granted future "Anti-evolutionists" the wonderful argument "if we come from monkeys, why are there still monkeys" , which is an extremely easy question to answer.
But somehow this notion gained momentum, and before you know, tons of people, myself included at one point, think Evolution means we come from monkeys.
The fact of the matter?... Science has never once suggested seriously that humans evolved from monkeys.
Therefore, to say it does, is slanderous.
I would venture to say the general public isn't interested in trying to keep up with your latest fads.
It's not a fad. No serious scientist or anyone who understands evolution ever said it. Creationists made it up.
You guys decide this stuff behind closed doors, then don't tell us anything, and we're expected to know this stuff as well as you guys?
The information has been available to the public as soon as it was written. It's in hundreds of thousands of books and thousands upon thousands of websites.
Not to mention, you could be taught it in schools and learning centres.
That's why I don't expect you guys to understand things like dispensation theology, ontological subordination, or diabolical plagiarism.
These things are unique to our understanding.
Not really, I personally find most religious beliefs easier to understand than science. That's why I have the opinion that it's just a case of something makes more sense and says everything will be ok , is how believers get by.
Understanding Science is not easy, it takes some real open mindedness to be able to grasp how much of it happens, mainly due to much of it happening on a scale so small or large that our humans brains sometimes struggle to process this information.
It's easier to say "God spoke out the Universe and I don't have to know why"
Than go and learn Particle Physics.
That, my friend is a grand statement, and I truly thank you for your honesty.
Fair enough ... it's a Scientific theory.
Ok briefly, ...
Theory as you know it (philosophical) : An idea that someone has about how or why something works.
A Scientific Theory is a body of knowledge, the ideas, hypothesis, experiments, results, data, research, ... everything all put together is the Theory. It's loooong past the point of being "Just an idea" as you would believe.
Again, I commend you for your honesty.
Ignorant -- like you guys.
What is it you are suggesting we are Ignorant of?
My question was about the Ignorance of the 3 terms in my original post.
I am not ignorant of them, I will not profess to fully understand Evolution, but I understand perfectly the definition of those words.
