Except you have to draw lines between vast areas of missing dots.Thank you once again for pointing to the evidence for evolution. The very fact that you can connect the dots is evidence for evolution.

I am not vested in the notion, did you forget that I hope to convert? I am immensely biased in favor of any possible evidence for deities or an afterlife, yet people still have failed to convert me.I know.
You are totally vested in the notion that there is no god.
85% of Americans know you are wrong.
You aren't punished for random thoughts, you are punished for your desires. Longing for another woman (or guy) is committing lust in the heart. Just a double look does not. Imagining some nasty person's name on a headstone is not the same as dwelling on the notion of killing them.
The evil thoughts you feed are the ones that devour your soul.
Irrelevant, given that the deity sentences people there anyway. If the deity you worshipped truly didn't want anyone to go to hell, it wouldn't force anyone to go against their will, nor have it be something as shallow as belief be the determinant. Also, unless you think Satan and his angels have a means set up to redeem themselves, there's really no reason to send them to hell either; just destroy them.God did not create Hell for man. God created Hell for Satan and his angels (demons).
The latter is never a fully conscious choice, if it were, I wouldn't be an atheist, and depending on what you consider to be sin, that also might not be a fully conscious choice. If people genuinely didn't want to have a relationship with this deity, why not have a middle place for them to go rather than torture them?Many, maybe even most will go there, be consumed by the fire and be destroyed because of their sin and non belief.
You act as if I haven't prayed on at least a weekly basis for belief or a sign since I was 13. Most people would have probably stopped trying by now, but I am very desperate.Some will linger there for eternity because of the weight of their sin. This need not include you, Jesus said in Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." That means that you don't have to exasperate yourself looking for God. He is trying to be part of your life. Whether you accept Him or reject Him is your call.
Adultery is to lust after another man's wife. Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.If you've ever lusted after a woman other than your wife you're an adulterer.
My grandmother did not convert until she was 100 years old. Her last year could have been her best because she finally had the peace of God in her life.yet people still have failed to convert me.
What do you call a platypus?Nobody is telling Him He can't. But if He did, it would easily be identifiable as not a product of evolution.
Actually it has an order.What do you call a platypus?
It has no family that will admit to it.
Answer me this: is it or is it not possible for a person to get into heaven without a belief in god without, say, dying as a baby or some other such situation? If the answer is no, my statement still stands in terms of your own personal beliefs.
If the deity you worshipped truly didn't want anyone to go to hell, it wouldn't force anyone to go against their will,
Extreme sins receive extreme punishment.Also, unless you think Satan and his angels have a means set up to redeem themselves, there's really no reason to send them to hell either; just destroy them.
I have no idea what you do. However, if you want to learn about God, find a good church; preferably one small enough where you can go talk to the minister. I could talk to you about God but I'm pixels on a message board. You need to sit down one on one with someone who can walk you through he Bible and show you step by step how the Bible validates itself.You act as if I haven't prayed on at least a weekly basis for belief or a sign since I was 13. Most people would have probably stopped trying by now, but I am very desperate.
See you there then?Save the preaching for church.
What cats have wings with similar anatomy to birds? Show us.
its a theoretical question.
If there were cats with anatomically identical wings to that of birds then it would falsify evolution. It could not be convergent evolution.
why?
Yeah, there is a limit.
the id model also predict "missing links" between a designed objects: for example: a commercial car is a missing link between a car and a truck. but it doesnt prove any evolution.
News flash: This is a Christian website.I
Save the preaching for church.
first: evolution doesnt predict nested hierarchy either
(convergent evolution for example)
. as for the second claim (we should NOT see species with a mixture of bird and mammal features) i can say the same thing: if we will find a species that is a mix of a bird and a mammal features it will "solve" by convergent evolution
No need to go to imaginary cats with wings.for example: if we will find a cat with wings we can claim that wings evolved twice (in borth birds and mammals).
Nested hierarchies are among the machinations of man.Cars and trucks don't fall into nested hierarchies.
No they aren't.Nested hierarchies are among the machinations of man.
We group animals and plants into categories and then subcategories according to their characteristics
and then say, "Look! This proves evolution."
It proves that we studied enough about each species that we can chuck it into a slot based on our notion of how things came about
Wait... this bat is a strange bird. It shares characteristics of a flying mammal. Voila! A transition between birds and mammals!
We aren't seeing common descent at all. We see a common Creator creating similar creatures from the same elements at the same time with the same blueprint for life to serve many unique purposes. The classification is man made.
