Unfortunately the context reinforces the quote. I can't post links on my phone, but there are several places in the book where he questions the role of mutations in evolution. But as a neo-Lamarkian that's to be expected.
Again how do you know all those parts had to develop specifically for that function? That is not how biology works. Rather, parts develop for one function that can easily be repurposed for another. So various parts can be developed for other functions until a fortunate mutation allows the parts to also work together for a new function. Once you have the crude working of a new beneficial function natural selection kicks in to refine it.
Sure. I used the Godless Internet to tell you that, as you did btw, we find that Godless Science works best without faith, this is just a fact. We then get great benefits from Godless Science, like Godless Medicines that save lives, Godless Technology that improves our health and well-being, I have a Godless Car, Godless heated home, I eat Godless food derived of Godless Agriculture, so on.
Your point?
Ah, so the Bible is wrong about the date of the flood? One common calculation shows it at 2349 BC according to the Bible. Depending on which verses you use you get a different date (after all the Bible does contradict) but I know of no calculation in the Bible that puts it anywhere close to 9000 BC. If you have any evidence the Bible thought it was significantly before 2500 BC, please document your claim.

Do you seriously expect us to believe Mt Everest grew 29,006 ft in the last 11,000 years? I don't think so.
Is it possible that Everest actually existed below the oceans of the time and was upthrust during the time of the flood to it's current height? Then appeared when the waters receeded? I think it's possible and answers the questions of how the sea creatures got there.Of course not. Mt Everest is on the present Earth, not Adam's flat Earth which was only 22.5 feet in elevation. Adam's flat Earth dissolved in Lake Van, Turkey 11,000 years ago as his firmament sank releasing the 450 ft Ark into the Lake.

Okay so I am with you up to this point. I would point out that we may have some attributes of God's intelligence...we by no means posses God's intelligence. For the foolishness of God is greater than all of man's wisdom. (1 Corinthians 1:25)
Okay now you lost me. The Bible doesn't mention any "prehistoric" people nor is there any real evidence to suggest such. History of humanity started with Adam and there were no sub-humans prior. The strata in which bones of humans are found can easily be shown to have been laid down within one global catastrophe rather than "millions" of years of time.
You throw out a lot of other misinformation but we can address that later. Lets get past this point first please.

You are assuming that it was the same height at the time. I admit I am purely speculating here. Something evolutionists are hard pressed to admit. In fact they refuse.What?!?! And you've got the nerve to demand evidence for evolution?!?!?
You really think that that's possible? You realize it's almost 9 km tall right?
That is absolutely mental! Brilliant stuff!
I'm still waiting to find out what these discoveries from the last fifty years that refute evolution are.
If you make a statement like this you are expected to provide examples to back it up otherwise you are just trolling.
Please be specific.
How does it show that we are not related to "apes", please be specific.
Show us a car evolving from a self-replicating molecule.prove it. again: i can say the same for a car. a car (with wheels and engine) can evolve without a problem from a self replicating molecule.
It is foolish to accept what people say without some evidence to support it.
I guarantee you Collins did not provide and scientific evidence for common ancestry being a fact.
Not the basics. It is still impossible for an offspring to receive a characteristic not in the gene pool of its parents.
Most of the discoveries made by science in the last 50 years refute evolution.
However DNA separates species, not links them...
It will also show we are not related to apes.

That is why I am now an atheist. Creationists never present evidence for their beliefs. They just attack evolution in their desperation.
It cannot be godless a sit says nothing about it. It does not say that children are not G-d's children. In fact, it agrees with the teachings of my religion. There are many people who believe in G-d and can accept that ToE is a valid scientific theory that has not been invalidated.False, since it is based on blind faith in an incomplete, easily refuted, Godless Theory. By force teaching these lies to our children, we are teaching them that they are NOT God's children but instead are the same as any other animal. The ToE begins by claiming it doesn't know where the first man came from. Just believe us, they say while they cannot provide ANY support for their "beliefs". Can you?
Brad: Do you understand the definition of "infinite?" If it is something or someone that is infinite then it/He requires no beginning.
Tas: And that is just ad hoc, special pleading. You merely assert that the 'next step up' is infinite. I assert otherwise.
The first definition I saw was "the quality of belonging or relating uniquely to a particular subject."
I agree that car keys have an intelligent source - humans. Are you saying that the Ultimate Designer was a human?
What SETI astronomers are looking for are narrow-band microwave signals of a kind not thought to be produced by natural causes.How? How is that special pleading Tas? I see it as a simple line of logic. If something finite cannot come from nothing and a finite something (the universe) exists it must logically come from something else which ultimately has to lead back to something that exists infinitely in nature. This is because we have never observed something come from nothing and science has to be based in what we have observed not what we "imagine" could have happened. If the characteristics of specificity have only been observed coming from intelligence then when we observe that the universe and life is comprised of specificity the only logical conclusion is that the source of the universe possesses intelligence. If A = infinite source and B = intelligent source then all that is left is a simple arithmetic problem. A + B must = C an infinite intelligent creator. I would love for you to show me where my logic breaks down because I can't see it. And please don't try and tell me to go read a book. Firstly its not my job to support your argument. Secondly I went that route with another poster once and his book he suggested actually supported my argument not his.
Lol. FYI we are supposed to be communicating here, which is where a person listens to someone else and then responds to what they said. So when I give you the definition of what a word means to me you don't get to go find your own different definition and try change what I mean. I say what I mean and mean what I say. Specificity as I am using it here means anything in which an observed can see was formed for an intended use or purpose.
Here we go... the old human intelligence slapstick. That's why I gave you examples of marine biologists and SETI astronomers looking for "non" human intelligence using specificity.
