Oh, a pattern. Right.
You could try to present a theory that something came from nothing or that complex genetic structures all the way up to the human brain and through that brain evolution, ipods, computers and airplanes were created. All by random chance.
What is a family? A genus? A species?
Yes, a pattern. Do you need this explained to you again?
I could, but since that's just a strawman, there's be little point. Evolution doesn't propose pure random chance. You've had this explained to you.
There's a difference between a word with a fuzzy definition and a word with no defintion.
Now. Again. What is a kind?
I am quite aware of the scientific assumptions men make.
You've had this explained to you.
Let's get off this "science is wrong" kick, shall we?
I don't really claim "science is wrong".
More accurately, I claim "science can take a hike."
And only if it disagrees with the Bible.
I'm on record here many times as claiming I believe in 95% of science.
If you tell me you believe the sky is pink with yellow polka dots, and I say it is blue, I would expect you to come back with something like:
That's your opinion.
Anything else, and I'm going to suspect you have a problem.
If you asked a blind man what color he believes the sky is, and he says RED, what would you think?
That's nice.
No -- you don't get it.
I have made the claim here I would kiss the feet of a scientist before I kiss the feet of a theologian any day.
But evidently you, a johnny-come-lately here, prefer to listen to all the misrepresentations of the others as to my take on science; and have taken my silence as an admission that I hate science and all science is wrong.
Suit yourself ... because I'm not planning on defending myself every time some Tom, Dick, or Harry accuses me of being anti-science.
If you want to believe them, that's your prerogative; but don't come to me telling me I've got some kind of problem ... when the problem is on your end.
Yes I do -- and for the record, I don't believe I'm a religious person, as I define "religion" as a set of beliefs that arise when the Bible is resisted.
But I'm sure you couldn't care less.
You'll believe anything that makes you look right and me wrong.
You're entitled to your opinion.
For the record, I believe your religion is not "science" but "scientism," of which Google has a short but very poignant definition that ... to me ... fits you guys to a tee.
Well, since I define "faith" as "believing something, even when science says otherwise," I define your faith as "believing something, even when the Bible says otherwise."
So guess what? I'm going to disagree with your statement.
Big surprise, eh?
Says you.
Oh, I bet you would drop it like a hot potato if more evidence trumped your current evidence.
Even if you had to rig a vote to do it.
Is this line of questioning going somewhere?
Then I won't look at the evidence ... the evidence can take a hike.
What evidence exactly? Similarities? That is about all evolution has as "evidence". Hardly compelling and could equally be evidence for ID.
Speciation within kinds does occur, however, if that is what you are talking about.
Otherwise, any rational person should be able to see through the assumed stories being propagated within the evolution theory.
I am quite aware of the scientific assumptions men make.
You've had this explained to you.
Genesis 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

You don't really understand the evidence for evolution, do you?
Please explain why the ERV locations in various primates are EXACTLY the same....
Because primates are similar to us in design and the ERV's like to insert into certain regions that work best for them. They could be independent insertions.
Do Shared ERVs Support Common Ancestry? - Evolution News & Views
New studies show that human genetics are 6% or more different than chimp genetics. Also 17.4% of gene regulatory networks in the brain are unique to humans.
Here are some large-scale differences that get overlooked in the drive to assert our similarity. Our physiology differs from that of chimps. We do not get the same diseases, our brain development is different, even our reproductive processes are different. Our musculoskeletal systems are different, permitting us to run, to throw, to hold our heads erect. We have many more muscles in our hands and tongues that permit refined tool making and speech.
The Mismeasure of Man: Why Popular Ideas about Human-Chimp Comparisons Are Misleading or Wrong - Evolution News & Views
Evolution news and views? Nice and quite credible, when it comes to science.
It would appear, when God designed Man and primates, he took the same approach Toyota did when their Lexus brand used many of the same components to build the Lexus ES, that they used from the Toyota Camry. God didn't want to bother with having a completely different design for humans.
But I thought man was special in God's eyes, yet he uses a primate platform to build man?

Not exactly. Unless you see ape animals walking upright, buying clothing in stores, driving to work, contemplating life and doing science experiments.
Wait, you think you do see that, don't you?

We are apes so... Yeah, we do see apes which walk upright and do all of those things.
Yes, I know. That is your belief faith system. There is no evidence that an ape or ape like animal turned into a man. That only exists in sci-fi land.
