Because we're apes, not monkeys. Primates split into monkeys and apes, and we emerged from the latter category. Thus, we are humans, we are apes, and we are primates, but we're not monkeys.Then why are we sometimes referred to as 'glorified apes'?
Got it -- thanks!Because we're apes, not monkeys. Primates split into monkeys and apes, and we emerged from the latter category. Thus, we are humans, we are apes, and we are primates, but we're not monkeys.
Well, that depends on what we call a 'horse'. The modern organisms today we call horses, and our benchmark for colloquial taxonomy is what exists today. Each ancestor of a given horse is less horse-like than the last, to the point where it doesn't have any of the defining features. Nomenclature is a testament to human language, not a detriment to evolution: we call doves and pigeons by different names because they look superficially different, yet they're essentially the same animal."Horse-ish"?
If evolution is still an ongoing process then this horse-ish transition is still ongoing and what we call a horse is really still a horse-ish.
Big changes in the minds of evolutionists, but not in the world of reality. It has never been observed. Only inferred. In other words, assumed.
AV:
I think your god will be able to cope.
You do seem to apply one standard to science and another to the bible. Why?
I infer "Renewal Creation", not "Evolution".I find myself repeating this often here. An inference is not an assumption.

You guys are getting to the point of false witness....
Literalistic readings of certain bits of science are shown up to be totally wrong, yes sir.That's the point. Their God can't "cope". An allegedly omnipotent God needs defending against those big bad scientists....really?
Nothing to do with their faith falling apart if literalistic readings of certain bits of the Bible are shown up to be totally wrong, no sir.
i'd love an example of such a thing, never seen one.Literalistic readings of certain bits of science are shown up to be totally wrong, yes sir.
"Pluto is our 9th planet." -- circa AD2000.i'd love an example of such a thing, never seen one.
It is really the '10th' because I was the '9th' heavenly body.[sadly not now]"Pluto is our 9th planet." -- circa AD2000.
As science can be defined as what we know to be true (or at least as yet not proven to be not true) by rational, logical, intelligent thinking based on evidence, it is unlikely that your statement is correct.Literalistic readings of certain bits of science are shown up to be totally wrong, yes sir.

I don't think you have a clue what I mean by that phrase.Saying 'science can take a hike' is actually urging you to remove your mind.
I don't think you have a clue what I mean by that phrase.
In France they call steer "acier". Therefore, by your AV Logic, the whole of material science and construction is fundamentally flawed. They have a different name for it, gosh darn it!
Why don't you plod through almost 2.3 million posts and find out for yourself?Perhaps you could enlighten us.
Stop whingeing and just answer the question. You habitually avoid and ignore questions, give evasive answers and change the topic, and then you have the gall to whinge about someone else's question being unanswered. Answer it yourself. Go on, have a go.Why don't you plod through almost 2.3 million posts and find out for yourself?
You're the one equating it with "removing one's mind".
Is that your way of finding out information?
By making a snide remark at someone's tag line, then sitting back and hope they'll go into defense mode and explain it?
Did you read that post the other day where some girl asked everyone but me if Embedded Age is known by anyone else?
I'm still waiting for you guys to answer her.
-- Must be a private joke.
Has it yet been proven that all that scientists claim to know is actually true?As science can be defined as what we know to be true (or at least as yet not proven to be not true)
If scientists are so rational, logical and intelligent in their thinking when they analyze evidence, then they should never be wrong. Yet, they often are. Why is that? How can a rational, logical, intelligent thinking being ever be wrong?by rational, logical, intelligent thinking based on evidence, it is unlikely that your statement is correct.
Since scientists consider themselves animals then your point is meaningless.When you are criticising science, you are criticising logical thinking, the very thing that separates humans from animals.
God didn't create animals in His image as scientists believe they are, so your point is, again, meaningless.It's interesting that logical, rational thought, supposedly given to us by god as his greatest gift, is dismissed as evil by his most ardent adherents.
Do you mean remove our mind as in not focusing our mind on the junk promoted by scientism? We already did that.Saying 'science can take a hike' is actually urging you to remove your mind.
It encourages us to stop thinking like scientismists and recognize there is more to reality than the scientific.It's interesting that religion should encourage you to stop thinking.
The dismal standards of thinking demonstrated by scientismists here is not interesting at all.Not really surprising, given the dismal standards of thinking demonstrated by creationists here, but interesting nonetheless.
