  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Madagascar and Australia, a question for creationists.

there is no limit for convergent evolution. anything is possible. including a bat wings.
No, once again, if a dog developed bat wings it would falsify the theory of evolution. I don't know why you are having such a hard time with such a simple concept.

But since you are having such difficulty with this, perhaps a more detailed explanation is called for. It is theoretically possible that the forelimb of a dog could evolve into a winglike structure capable of supporting flight. It might (and I stress the might) come to superficially resemble the wing of a bat, since both the dog and the terrestrial percursor of the bat are mammals. But unless it was morphologically and genetically identical to the wing of a bat, it could not be said to be a "bat wing." And if it was, the theory of evolution would essentially be falsified.

again: false. if a dog will evolve a bird wings its also will be a convergent evolution.

Repeating false things about subjects you don't understand won't make them factual. Dogs with bird wings would falsify evolution - period.

6,000 years wouldn't quite be long enough for a super continent to break up, and its constituent parts to find themselves in their current positions. Britain is currently moving away from America at the rate of 2cm a year. So that's 0.00012km meters in 6,000 years.

It didn't quite just break up.

The video shows the oceans appearing after the land, whereas Genesis 1 says just the opposite.

So it's unbiblical and unscientific? Sometimes people just can't see the wood for the trees. It's a nice looking animation though.

"God could have done it any way he wanted" AV1611VET
And do you call the way He did it "science"? :scratch:

(I can't believe we're having this discussion.)

How do you know God hates science so much anyway? He might be awfully angry at you at this moment.
God knows I hold science up to a Higher Standard than atheists won't go on principle.

I don't understand. Perhaps you could respond to my comment about it (post #362)
