No, absolutely not. Science has deep roots in ancient Greece, early China, the Arab world in the Middle Ages, etc. It's quite vain of you to believe it all stemmed from Christianity. Actually, during the Enlightenment, the Christian Church was getting pretty irritated that science was departing from being just a group of people out to prove the Bible right. I'm sure many scientists back then were inspired by their faith to study the world, but that's hardly reason to claim that modern science was birthed from Christianity. It seems these days that a sizable chunk of American Christians wish to insert religion back into the science classroom anyway...

That is what my question asked about. Could we say that those "many scientists" actually set the foundation at that time, which leads to the development of modern science?

LewisWildermuth, this question is actually for you. Where are you?

What technology uses macroevolution in its development?

Some medicine uses evolutionary theory in its development. All I'm saying is that you don't have to accept that it's true. All you have to do is justify it or twist it to where you won't feel bad about benefiting from what you claim doesn't exist, right?

Then you won't mind if I go ahead and use 'technology, medicine, or whatever', will you?

I don't think anyone minds. Personally, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of your actions is all. If using your "Boolean standards" make you feel better about using something you claim doesn't exist, then by all means. Just don't expect to not be called out on it.

I said 'macroevolution'.

Before you consider me a verse-twisting hypocrite, you might want to understand the angle (torque?) I'm coming from.

The same place he got the rest of the chromosome pairs he inherited?
Then evolution is blasphemous, since it denies the virgin birth of Christ.

I must have missed that. Perhaps you can point out where that is stated in the theory?
You've never heard of the virgin birth?

What's with even basic doctrine being questioned now?

LOL

Google is your friend.

Basic doctrine is a theory now? I was asking where the theory of evolution states that Jesus was not born of a virgin birth as you claimed.

Evolution is not actually the theory that established that you need an egg and a sperm to make a zygote. That would be cell theory. Is that blasphemous?

Not necessarily; God provided the male portion of DNA. Not with His own DNA, of course, but He used the appropriate bits to make Jesus, genetically, the way He wanted Him to be. That would be compatible with evolution for everything else.

Oh, sorry -- I misunderstood the question.

I asked where Jesus got His y-chromosome, and you said:

You don't see blasphemy here?

Tell Belk that -- I'm not interested.

All I want to know is: From an evolutionary perspective, where would Jesus have gotten His y-chromosome?

I can't believe an evolutionist has no specific answer.
