Given that non-Christians like to point out they know more about god [sic] than we do...Why are you asking non-Christians to explain things about your god?

The Tilt-a-Whirl, a product of intelligent design, uses chaotic motion to perform its function.
Demonstrate how God could have done the same, but didn't.
Collaborators. So do you really believe you are distant a cousin to a turnip?So you consider Theistic Evolution believers an Enemy?
No it does not. Quote.Well, duh! TE means THEISITIC evolution. So that kinda makes it impossible to be ATHEISTIC evolution.
Now you are making it about him and not the issue.As for them being your brothers and sisters in Christ, well that's awful ecumenical of you.
If you believe you have a common ancestor with a rutabaga then i don't know what problem you would have with 6 day creation.And probably pretty accurate...unless you are of the type of creationist who feels that anyone who disavows literal 6 day Creation is disavowing Jesus himself (which some Creationists DO think that very thing).
And how exactly is common ancestry with a turnip certain and useful?This is why Creationism is so uncertain and useless.
Your assumes actual understanding is of value in the first place. Food is of actual value if your belly is empty and understanding Earth is of no value if starving.Since Creationists are at each others throats over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin-type questions it cannot move forward with anything useful to add to our understanding of the ACTUAL earth.
Fish bowl reality. Reality relative to what?Theistic evolution, IMHO, is what people believe who want to have BOTH God in their lives AND an appreciation for what REALITY says about things.
And a common ancestor of humans and apes might have existed sometime. Do you have problems with unicorns existing? Why? How bout Godzilla? At least Godzilla has a name.I think of Theistic Evolution as the same as "Unicorn Quantum Mechanics". A Unicorn Quantum Mechanics person wants to believe in Unicorns AND QM. So they can operate as a chemist or physicist and it won't impact their performance at all that at some part of their head contains a desire to believe that Unicorns MIGHT EXIST somewhere.
There is a large gap between QM and imaginary history so don't conflate the two. Or don't leech onto QM to smuggle in Blind watchmaker evolution since the two are not in the same ballpark science wise.Unrelated, maybe linked through some "imagination" game, but in the end not standing in the way of using QM to do actual science.

You hide the information that Evolution is a faith. A mark of extremism in debate.Actually we know it. You are the one that has only weak belief. Knowledge trumps belief.
You wish.Knowledge is demonstrable - no faith needed.

Lack of transition fossil sequences is a reality
You continually make this claim of an education, but your own posts continually show that you do not have such an education. For example your claim about a lack of transitional fossils. You either do not know what a transitional fossil is, which would refute your education claim, or you are totally ignorant of the fossil record, which would also refute your education claim. Or you are lying. Which would make your posts worthless. I am going with a combination of one and two and giving you a break on the third possibility right now.You wish.
You forget that I was an educated Evolutionist, and trained in the Faith. One who for a period of time over looked the weaknesses of the theory. One who walked by assuptions as givens. One who ignored the possibility and signs of Higher Life and an extremely Powerful Creator.
Lack of transition fossil sequences is a reality that should not exist if no faith is require in Evolution. Some debaters continuously march right pass this reality. And act like it means nothing. You are one.
Once one sees their foundation of faith is Naturalism then they may become open to other faiths in what is reality in this realm we are in.
Freewill exists for a reason.
The existence of transitional fossil sequences is also a reality.
Why do you focus on lacks due to the incompleteness of the fossil record, when we have knowledge where the record is more complete?
More power to ya'.You wish.

Aren't you a seeker?You are the theist.
You lost interest in your own topic which you even bumped in order to get a response to me? Ok.Aren't you a seeker?
How long do you plan to seek?
No, I wouldn´t label myself "seeker", particularly not in metaphysical matters. CF did that.Aren't you a seeker?
Like, when I am seeking to find my keys, I am not setting a time for that task but usually plan to seek as long as it takes to find them. At some unpredictable point, though, it becomes obvious that they are lost. That´s when I stop seeking and start looking for other solutions.How long do you plan to seek?
Just incidentally, I find it interesting that the point at which we decide to change tack or stop vacillating over a choice is regulated by the periodicity of biological clocks such as heart rate, and weighted according to urgency (and other factors), so our deliberation time varies according to the rate of those clocks; it's also influenced by our general arousal level. If you want to curtail someone's decision-making, get them agitated or stimulated.Like, when I am seeking to find my keys, I am not setting a time for that task but usually plan to seek as long as it takes to find them.
