Missing link found by Norwegian scientist

You're entitled to your opinion. Even if that is that the world is flat. It's a free world, after all.

It's not an opinion, FG --- I'm asking a very pointed question.

What is the name of the species 1.876 quadrillion back?

If you don't know --- admit it, please --- instead of trying to make me look bad for asking.

I'm calling your bluff and saying you don't have one --- in fact, I'll say you don't have one even ten species back.

 

[AV1611VET]

No, I didn't. I said "they are all there", not "we have them all". While English is not my mother tongue, I do believe there is a difference between the two.

WOW!

You've never seen them, there's no evidence whatsoever, yet they're there?

Can you spell FAITH?

Sure. And I suppose you want me to give you Pi as well, from start to finish as well? I mean, if I can't then surely it's all false. Right? And since I can't, then pi is clearly 3. Nothing else.

Have you ever seen the entire pi number? No? Can you spell FAITH?

Oh please. Since I have never been to New York, am I then a blind believer to believe it exists?

I'm sure you can name the other seven?

You're on the internet, try to use it once in a while to look up information rather than only posting the limited information you have. You won't learn anything from repeating yourself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but evolution is built on one living thing mutating into another into another into another into...

If you can't show me even a segment of a chain reference from the far past, then don't try and sell me evolution --- I'm not buying.

In the example you gave --- Pi --- it's the starting number that's used --- not the end number.

As I understand it, Pi to the 10[sup]th[/sup] decimal place is enough to hit any target on earth within 100 yards.

Not mine anyway --- I'm not a Homo sapien.

Ectezus, I'll thank you not to sit me down with a coloring book when I'm asking very specific questions and getting stupid answers.

I'm not going to spend an inordinately long period of time here being convinced by you guys that you have absolutely no --- and I mean no --- evidence of macroevolution.

So you cannot provide me with all the decimals in Pi then it cannot be a true number.

I sincerely doubt you'd be willing to accept evolution even if we managed to build a time machine and show you in person how we have evolved. After all, we have seen new species of flies and wasps evolve in laboratories. New species of bacteria evolve all the time. We've observed new plants and earthworms evolving too. So what's the deal AV? Aren't you just stubborn now? It's not like this is contrary to anything but a few peoples' interpretation of a few biblical or quaran verses. Just like the catholic church once used the bible to claim the world was the center of the universe. They made that claim even after the opposite was observed and proven beyond a doubt. They were wrong then, why shouldn't your interpretation be equally wrong?

 

[Hespera]

I'm not sure how you can refute this kind of overwhelming evidence, lol I mean the quadrillion fossils that are missing is minor detail.

Good thing there is a lol otherwise we wont know you are using that most convincing and deadly Tools of Logic... Sarcasm!

But say, if you leave ONE fingerpring at the crime scene, you can just make a sarcastic remark about how you have, like 9 more fingers and they didnt get ONE print from any of them? And palm prints and toe prints, I mean honestly. And no videotape. You know, a complete evidence trail, complete! They would have to see the reason in that, and let you go.

 

[AV1611VET]

I sincerely doubt you'd be willing to accept evolution even if we managed to build a time machine and show you in person how we have evolved.

And I sincerely doubt you'd be willing to accept angels even if we managed to build a machine that can do this for you:

And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

You would not believe evolution under any circumstances so why spedify that one.?

I wonder, if somehow the bible had survived to the present with say page
87 126 and 312 missing, would that invalidate the whole thing? This isnt a book, there is no evidence that those pages ever existed... "I'm not buying".

See you cant grasp that other people are not like you. You refuse to believe evidence no matter how much is piled in front of you.

If an angel were to come along, or god announced himself in a loud clear voice, then ok! Now I believe these are real. I could even be made into a UFO or "Nessie " believer. All they have to do is exist where I or credible others can observe them.

 

[Honkytnkmn]

We've observed new plants and earthworms evolving too.

show me.

I expect this is throwing pearls before swine in a very real sense, but what the heck.
AV1611VET, I have no problem believing in angels, demons, and other spiritual things. I am a Christian you know. One who has seen miracles, prays in tongues and on occasion prophesies. Not that this is an argument in any case. I just wanted you to know as it seems you are assuming I am an atheist or some Pseudo-Christian. Ayway, it is not belief in angels and demons that saves a man. One can pray, and believe in angels without being a Christian. That much is made abundantly clear in the bible.
I'm just not willing to deny what God tells us through His creation, and start believing in human interpretation of what sounds and seems like a parable. Not when that has not worked for us in the past. I advocate a humility when approaching such matters. Not absolute belief in one's own interpretation of the bible. There's a significant difference between seeing the bible as a scientific work and a holy work for our moral and spiritual guidance.

My apologies --- I should not have assumed you didn't believe in angels.

I'm not going to spend an inordinately long period of time here being convinced by you guys that you have absolutely no --- and I mean no --- evidence of macroevolution.

Micro-evolution + Micro-evolution = Macro-evolution
1+1 = 2. It's that simple. The only reason you don't belief macro-evolution exists is because you've been indoctrinated with the idea that god has magic boundaries that prevent 1 + 1 becomming 2. At a certain point 1.9 is closer to 2.0 than it is to 1.0.

If you don't want to educate yourself then fine; stay ignorant. 600.000 posts and you still haven't learned anything. No wonder...
