Really?HitchSlap said:L. Ron Hubbard literally made up an entire religion - in your lifetime - and is “getting away with it.”
Only one of us accused the other of intellectual dishonesty, and it wasn't me. Are you sure you're correctly identifying where the anger is located?No, it's a process I sense a bit of anger and sarcasm on your and others behalf that is directly related to your inability to understand.
You're confusing disagreement with lack of understanding. Your claim is clear enough. It's the logical support for it that is lacking.I'm just trying to help you guys understand that behind every interaction/law in the physical world there is a structure that needs defining..
This could even serve as a guarantee of the existence of God. It just takes a very logical mind to understand it. It could actually serve a new untouched branch of science.
The only fool is the one who the thinks one religion is better than another.Really?
What holidays and martyrs are associated with L. Ron Hubbard?
And if he is getting away with anything, he's fooling you unbelievers into believing that God is in the neutral zone, along with your other examples.
Ya ... "love thine enemy" is hard to distinguish from "convert or die," isn't it?The only fool is the one who the thinks one religion is better than another.
The Bible was written by MEN that were INSPIRED by GOD. You have to be HOLY and SANCTIFIED to be used by God. Many are called but few are choose because they do not live a holy sanctified life to be used by God for his purpose. We have to be very careful what we say because God watches over our words. God says "I am watching over My word to perform it." (american standard) "I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled." (NIV) Jeremiah 1:12
We have a covenant relationship with God. He is going to do what He says He is going to do. That is why we know how to pray and we know how to get results when we pray. IF you do not understand God. If you do not KNOW God then you do not know how to get results and answers.
That's the equivalent to saying " you didn't build that house, those hammers did"
Evolution is very directed. What determines the evolution required for adaption? Why makes a caterpillar turn into a butterfly? All of this is directed. The formula for everything is predetermined.
I tried to break it down as simple as I thought necessary.. but I'll try to make it even simpler. You have object A and Object B. Each Object has a specific interaction with each other. That interaction had to be defined prior to either objects existence.
Water puts out fire.. why?
Says who? Who says that the interaction between water and fire happens the way it does? Where did this definition come from? God.
it will not work in this case, since we are talking about a mammal fossil that doesnt have any DNA.
iam trying to prove to a friend that the christian way is the true way but he tells me to give an explanation of evolution and dinosaurs.
any things i could say to prove him wrong?
love

If things evolve randomly, in tandem, then this would rule out the fibonacci pattern, because what has evolved on earth can never be consistently repeated throughout all of creation, without fail, throughout all galaxies.
Except that nobody thinks that everything is purely "random". We know there are basic physical laws that operate in the universe and that to a certain extent, there is consistency in how things operate.
This idea that everything in nature should be purely random sounds like a strawman you made up.
I can and have proved it. The proof is at http://www.GHart.net/Evolution_Theory.pdf . I would greatly appreciate it if you would read it over, and provide any feedback that might improve upon it. My writing style is a not “professional”, … I’m not a writer. That’s where I was hoping you or a friend from your Church could help me.If you can prove evolution wrong there is a Nobel prize waiting for you. Good luck.
I have written a paper that debunks the theory of evolution, and does so by using logical argument and scientific observations. It contains no religious references, but draws an end conclusion that evolution should be different than what we see, and that evolution is guided by some form of higher intelligence. Granted, it’s not proof of God for fact, but; it is one of the closest proofs I’m aware of that uses only science and logic to prove the existence of some form of higher power in life that guides and controls it.Why would you cite a source that refuses to use the scientific method and refuses to acknowledge evidence which can't be reconciled with their preconcieved beliefs?
I have written a logical paper that proves evolution to be false, but uses different logic than this post.If an Engineer designed a smartphone, therefore the repeated embedded functional states of that device will infer a unique designer.
If say another Engineer designed another smartphone, therefore the repeated functional states of that device will infer a second designer, distinct from the first.
In the example of smartphones, say Apple phone Versus Samsung phone, though the user phone functionality on the surface appears to be the same, that is you can call or recieve calls, send and recieve emails, take pictures etc. The embeded functional states beneath the surface, that is the platform or patent patterns governing embeded algorithms to provide those user functions highlight two different designers, that is Apple and the other Samsung.
Now in the case of galaxies and planets, evolving due to evolution theory, one would see similar functional use on the surface, yet within the embeded detail of each galaxy and planets, we would need to see an infinite array of patterns that arrive at the functional surface level. This means that for evolution to be true, there must be an infinite array of patterns distinct from the Fibonacci pattern. The truth in the matter is that there are not.
Therefore since we can determine at the embeded level that Apple smartphone uses a distinct algorithmic pattern to that of the Samsung smartphone, therefore infering two distinct designers, who arrive at the same functional use, through the evolutionary research and design of their products over time.
What does this mean?
It means that the deeply embeded Fibonacci pattern across all of creation, dismisses any second, third, fourth to infinity evolutionary paths, because there is only one designed PATENT and that is the Fibonacci pattern. Now this SINGULAR PATENT must have a single designer, therefore go figure!
Your "article" in no way answers my question, it's merely one long argument from incredulity and misrepresentation.
For example, this little gem....
“Transitional” forms between horses with teeth designed for browsing (Parahippus) and those with teeth for grazing (Merychippus) are rare
Which is simply a lie. The evolution of horse teeth has been thoroughly researched and is understood.....
Fossil records verify a long-standing theory that horses evolved through natural selection, according to groundbreaking research by two anatomy professors at New York College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYCOM) of New York Institute of Technology.
Working with colleagues from Massachusetts and Spain, Matthew Mihlbachler, Ph.D., and Nikos Solounias, Ph.D. arrived at the conclusion after examining the teeth of 6,500 fossil horses representing 222 different populations of more than 70 extinct horse species. The records, spanning the past 55 million years, indicate a "critical" lag time between the evolution of horse teeth and dietary changes resulting from climate change.

I don't know if you bothered looking at any of the papers or books that are cited as sources but the majaority of them very much support and evidence the current understanding of horse evolution.
Anyway, I've already spent too long looking at that rubbish, if you're interested this blog points out many more of it's errors.
Besides, I'm not asking you to quibble with what I posted, the fossils I mentioned have all been catalogued and examined which you can verify for yourself , I'm asking for your explanation of how we can clearly observe many species of Equidae appearing in the fossil record with slight differences to preceding species chronolgically?
