Jesus knows your body temperature? Is that reason to believe - if knowing apes points to Evolution?

Hi there,

So there is a standard of evidence issue, here - right?
If Jesus knows your body temperature...
is that the same standard of evidence that knowing apes is for Evolution?
We all want something to believe, or to discount something, whatever the case may be - doesn't holding a consistent standard of evidence, encourage a better result, than pinning it on chance?
I mean if you could evolve Jesus into an Elephant, I would believe the Elephant - something tells me you aren't going to take that seriously (as serious as I do?), but it is what it is...

I'm not hurt that you don't get what I am saying, I am just hurt you don't really know how to encourage me to develop an Evolution that is unique to me - like that me being me, is the same as being an elephant, you just don't care.

The exploiter never finds what they are truly looking for. If they did, their sole purpose in life ceases.

Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 10:39

That sounds like it comes, from a lot of experience!

The very best encouragement that can be given is to first learn evolution through reliable scientific sources. Only then will you be able to make a recognizable and sensible critique of evolution.

I have no idea what that means, but I strongly encourage you to develop an Evolution that is unique to you... :scratch:

If we came from apes -- which we didn't -- but if we came from apes, then why are apes still around?

The answer is that we didn't come from the apes that are still around.

We must have come either from some other kind of apes, or we came from a direct act of creation; and those other kinds of apes (called "common ancestors") are actually some other kind of animal that needs to be properly classified.

Therefore Jesus knows our body temperature.

If we came from the British, which we did, why are there still British around?

Wait a minute, this is the correct response.

So if we're Great Apes because we came from Apes, are we Great Britains because we came from the British?

So much for Post 10 then.
Yes, and no. The argument is still valid. But technically we are not British. For a good percentage of use we could say European. The problem is that anyone that made the "why are there still monkey" argument is making the same argument as in Post 10. In other words, you fessed up to your own error, even though you do not understand how you have done so.
