What's wrong with flatworm sex?
In and of itself, nothing. When someone wants to teach kids that a few flatworms having sex long long ago is why humans exist, we have a problem.

I see you didn't challenge the two other evos who admitted flatworm sex was how humans got here!!!

Yes, and Europeans still exist, even though I'm now in America instead of Europe. Just as "funny".

Getting on a plane is not the same as having a bug start a birthing chain that produced mankind itself!


There is no Godless evolution. God USED evolution.

He used it in Eden, and used it in the former state, where it happened real fast. Even now, in this state, creation adapts and evolves slowly, and the best way it can. Long as you do not mean God used flatworms copulating to produce Adam and Eve!!! (over a succession of imagined intermediate links)

You shouldn't go telling God what He did or didn't do. Instead, you should trust the word of God revealed in the stars, the rocks, and the genomes.

Man's belief based ideas of what we see are not what God revealed! Stars we do see...the space and time they exist in as being the same we do not see, you just use that to make unbiblical claims.

Lean not to your own understanding.

There is no Godless evolution. God USED evolution.

Actually God designed natural selection and genetic characteristics so species could adapt to changing environments and do so very fast. But it has limits.

It's called speciation and happens within kinds.

Thank-you for clarifying.

Sorry for asking...Geeez

You only had to read back over the last few posts by me...

What about the sea sponge?

Is it the same species? Sea sponge is a group of animals, like birds or sharks. It's not a single species.

How would we know all the sorts of flatworms that lived?

So you admit there are many different species of flatworm. I take this as an admission of my point, that the flatworms we have today are NOT the same as the common ancestor between modern Humans and modern Flatworms.

?? Crazy talk. Just because only so many types may be found in the fossil record does not mean that is all there were. Perhaps worms are not the best thing to expect to find fossilized?

My point remains. The common ancestor was NOT any species we have alive today.

You confirmed that evolution believers really think they owe their lives to flatworm sex! What more could I ask for?

Ahem, how many times do I have to make this clear. Not flatworm sex. "Common ancestor of both modern humans and modern flatworms" sex.

And I have NEVER denied that humans are the result of sex between members of earlier species, have I? Are you having fun playing with your straw man?

Chilling.

Like I've said many times before, reality doesn't give a damn if you find it unpleasant.


You go a source for this claim?

Creation was made like that. Doesn't help your belief system at all.

The case for evolution over billions of years is well supported with actual evidence. You know, evidence. The thing you don't have.


First of all, you are trying to muddy the issue because you are incapable of responding to the point.

Secondly, the only thing imaginary is your idea of a different state past.

Man is a kind. Not flatworms or apes, or eels. Not even bananas!

This is not a valid definition. Please explain how I can determine if two different animals are the same kind or not.

There have always been differences when a woman reproduced! You thought we were clones??

Obviously not, because I said we were different, didn't I? (BTW, it wasn't me that reproduced, it was me and my husband. It took two of us. Perhaps you need to take a remedial biology class). You love arguing your strawmen, don't you?

If water smells bad, and there are dead things around it, it is a warning. God's creation is generally beautiful..stars, plants, ocean, animals, birds, mountains, etc.

So bad water can't exist in God's creation? And I can name lots of things that you would call God's creation that are disgusting. Ichneumon wasps, for example.

Godless evolution is gross and ugly.

So it doesn't meet with your approval, but remember, reality doesn't care about whether you approve or not.

Assertion based on ignorance. We do not have hundreds of species of flatworms fossilized do we? How then, would you know what is a different species? Either you know, or you don't.

My point remains. The common ancestor was NOT any species we have alive today.
How would you know how many species of flatworms existed? That is crazy. Don't let me confuse you with the facts.



Ahem, how many times do I have to make this clear. Not flatworm sex. "Common ancestor of both modern humans and modern flatworms" sex.
You already fessed up. What is this, a regression? Once again class, if as science claims, (foolishly as usual) the flatworm was a common ancestor, and indeed even the oldest common ancestor still alive today, how could it be that you claim it was NOT an ancestor! You must be true to your religion!

And I have NEVER denied that humans are the result of sex between members of earlier species, have I? Are you having fun playing with your straw man?
Oh great, now you seem to be admitting flatworm sex resulted in YOU again!

The case for evolution over billions of years is well supported with actual evidence.
False. Your dark belief system imposes itself onto the evidence in a rude way, but there is not the smallest speck of evidence for what you claim standing alone.

First of all, you are trying to muddy the issue because you are incapable of responding to the point.
The point IS that you believe you are a direct result of flatworms having sex!!!! (they produced offspring which kept evolving on up to you)
Secondly, the only thing imaginary is your idea of a different state past.
You need to do more than wave like a bangee to make the bible go away. You have no proof that the state of the past was as you claim, so we best go with God on that.

This is not a valid definition. Please explain how I can determine if two different animals are the same kind or not.

You can't. Except in the case of mankind, we know we are a kind. The ineptness of science to be able to go through time and observe what the kinds were in NO way diminishes the importance or reality of the created kinds!



Obviously not, because I said we were different, didn't I? (BTW, it wasn't me that reproduced, it was me and my husband. It took two of us. Perhaps you need to take a remedial biology class). You love arguing your strawmen, don't you?
Notice that two flatworms were involved also? I think we know the basics of reproduction here. Why try to blow smoke?



Some adaptations of creatures are pretty brutal, but overall, the balance of nature is amazing, and contains incredible beauty. It has to, since He approved it!

So you are telling me that a life form half a billio0n years ago would remain completely unchanged, despite the different environment, different temperatures and different oxygen levels it would have faced throughout that time...

Would have remained completely UNCHANGED?

You have no idea what you are talking about.

How would you know how many species of flatworms existed? That is crazy. Don't let me confuse you with the facts.

Since you never provide any, there's no danger of that.


Your lack of understanding is your own problem, not mine. As usual, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Oh great, now you seem to be admitting flatworm sex resulted in YOU again!

Having fun twisting my words there? Do you know how to discuss things like an adult?

False. Your dark belief system imposes itself onto the evidence in a rude way, but there is not the smallest speck of evidence for what you claim standing alone.

Since you obviously have no idea what actual evidence is (having never presented any yourself), how would you know what is evidence or not?

(Hint: you don't.)

The point IS that you believe you are a direct result of flatworms having sex!!!! (they produced offspring which kept evolving on up to you)

Excuse me: I said earlier species, didn't I? Don't twist my words. You are lying to support your own agenda.

You need to do more than wave like a bangee to make the bible go away. You have no proof that the state of the past was as you claim, so we best go with God on that.

I go with reality. Feel free to show me God if you want, but you'll need more than an old book.

You can't. Except in the case of mankind, we know we are a kind. The ineptness of science to be able to go through time and observe what the kinds were in NO way diminishes the importance or reality of the created kinds!

So the term "kind" is completely meaningless. When you base your case on meaningless words, your case is worthless.

Notice that two flatworms were involved also? I think we know the basics of reproduction here. Why try to blow smoke?

Glad you know the basics of reproduction. You still have to learn the basics of evolution, of science, and of logic.

Some adaptations of creatures are pretty brutal, but overall, the balance of nature is amazing, and contains incredible beauty. It has to, since He approved it!

And evolution is the most beautiful part of nature. Shame your blinkers don't let you see it.

No. I am telling you you were wrong about the old ages. I am also pointing out that you have no clue what spectrum of flatworm species existed in early earth times.

That depends, can you fond one to post for you!?

Since you obviously have no idea what actual evidence is (having never presented any yourself), how would you know what is evidence or not?
I look at what you post...I see no evidence. What more could I ask!?

Excuse me: I said earlier species, didn't I? Don't twist my words. You are lying to support your own agenda.
Forget earlier. Flatworms having sex and resulting in you is the current focus here! You still admit that!?

So the term "kind" is completely meaningless. When you base your case on meaningless words, your case is worthless.
How would man kind be meaningless? What is meaningless is to pretend science could go back in time and observe the created kinds. Science can't observe it's way out of a present state paper bag!

Glad you know the basics of reproduction. You still have to learn the basics of evolution, of science, and of logic.
We see your logic here. You claim you are the resulyt of sex between worms!!! Think about it. You may renounce your evo belief system here. I might go easier on you!
And evolution is the most beautiful part of nature.
Oh? So forget stars? Forget sex? Forget the moon? Forget the balance of nature? Forget hummingbirds? etc? You want to claim that adaptation and evolving is the epitome of beauty? You think worms copulating is the most beautiful thing?? Get a grip woman.

Reality tells me more about the past than you ever can, so I think it's safe to dismiss your ideas about the past as false. Also, I don't need to know the genetic code of ancient worms to know they were different.

That depends, can you fond one to post for you!?

Let me know when you can grow up.

I look at what you post...I see no evidence. What more could I ask!?

You are incapable of recognizing evidence.

Forget earlier. Flatworms having sex and resulting in you is the current focus here! You still admit that!?

Will you stop twisting my words? I have made it abundantly clear what I have been saying, and the only possible reason for you to keep doing this is because you are deliberately trying to misrepresent me.

I said EARLIER SPECIES. The common ancestor of modern Humans and modern flatworms. How many times do I need to say this?

How would man kind be meaningless? What is meaningless is to pretend science could go back in time and observe the created kinds. Science can't observe it's way out of a present state paper bag!

The definition of "kind" is meaningless. By your own admission, if I show you a sparrow and a hawk you can't tell me if they are in the same kind or not.

We see your logic here. You claim you are the resulyt of sex between worms!!! Think about it. You may renounce your evo belief system here. I might go easier on you!

You mean this is you going hard on me? Please, that's a laugh. You still haven't learnt any of those things, have you?


Oh, I'm so sorry I don't view the world the same way as you. That is something for which I am eternally grateful. Yes, I do think evolution is beautiful. Not the only beautiful thing, but it has a great deal of beauty. If you actually knew what evolution was instead of this crazy idea you have, then you'd see it too. But don't insult me because you are blind, okay?

And I've told you: Don't call me woman.

No problem, keep us informed of the communications 'reality' makes with you! Whether they be voices, inner feelings, phone calls, etc.
so I think it's safe to dismiss your ideas about the past as false.
Obviously are on such good speaking terms with 'reality', anything it tells you to dismiss can be dismissed! Feel no obligation to offer proof of any kind. Your chats with reality suffice.

Also, I don't need to know the genetic code of ancient worms to know they were different.
Excellent! The cease and desist all claims they were or were not!

I think you admitted you think reality involves that you are a result of sex between flatworms billions of years ago. Correct? Just as PshcoSarah has admitted.

No idea what that is supposed to mean. Are you claiming flatworms are not your ancestor as science claims now?

The definition of "kind" is meaningless. By your own admission, if I show you a sparrow and a hawk you can't tell me if they are in the same kind or not.
They are birds. A raven was a kind and a dove. A complete list was not given, and science has no ability to determine what was what...it is too steeped in godless religion!


You mean this is you going hard on me? Please, that's a laugh. You still haven't learnt any of those things, have you?
"These things"? Ancestor reproduction? Your chats with reality.. or??


So there is some euphoric bliss to surrendering to the belief of godless evolving? No thanks.

But don't insult me because you are blind, okay?

And I've told you: Don't call me woman.
No? Why not, you just called me blind! You find being called woman an insult? Yet you find the thought of coming from flatworms having sex just honky dory!?

Perhaps you can record a chat with this 'reality', and we can listen to it!? Meanwhile, since no proof and evidence for the fundamentals of your claims on a timeline can be provided here, any claims that you are on speaking terms with reality must be taken with a grain of salt.

When your reality includes coming from flatworms having sex, all I can do is laugh.

Well it isn't as if we were born directly from flatworms, that way back hundreds of millions of years we had a flatworm ancestor isn't far fetched when you analyze all the species and evolution which occurred between then and now.

What in the world are you going on about...?

Obviously are on such good speaking terms with 'reality', anything it tells you to dismiss can be dismissed! Feel no obligation to offer proof of any kind. Your chats with reality suffice.

There are no words to describe the ridiculousness of this argument from you...

Excellent! The cease and desist all claims they were or were not!

I still know they were different.

I think you admitted you think reality involves that you are a result of sex between flatworms billions of years ago. Correct? Just as PshcoSarah has admitted.

Humans are the result of sex between previous species that were ancestral to Humans. Each person alive today is the most recent link in a chain of life that goes back billions of years, each previous link being one that had sex in some way. Perhaps you know of a way to create offspring that does not involve sex?

No idea what that is supposed to mean. Are you claiming flatworms are not your ancestor as science claims now?

Are you incapable of comprehending English? Apparently, because I've already explained it several times, and if you don't have the mental capacity to understand what I;ve already told you, then you won't have it to understand if I say it again.

They are birds. A raven was a kind and a dove. A complete list was not given, and science has no ability to determine what was what...it is too steeped in godless religion!

So a raven and a dove are two different kinds. But are a sparrow and a finch the same kind or different kinds?

"These things"? Ancestor reproduction? Your chats with reality.. or??

Nope, you haven't learned. You should, you'll stop embarrassing yourself when you do.

So there is some euphoric bliss to surrendering to the belief of godless evolving? No thanks.

Ecuse me - you are the one demanding that reality be whatever you find most blissful.

No? Why not, you just called me blind! You find being called woman an insult? Yet you find the thought of coming from flatworms having sex just honky dory!?

When you refuse to actually try to comprehend what I've been saying because you'd rather cling to your beliefs, then yes you are blind. And I find that when you call me "woman" you are reducing me to my gender, which comes across as very dismissive. So I am asking you to respect my wishes and not call me that.

You are capable of showing respect, aren't you?

I still know they were different.
You can't prove it in any way and admit this, but 'just know' genetics were a certain way anyhow!!?? Do not dare call that science!


Humans are the result of sex between previous species that were ancestral to Humans.

Flatworms are said to be the oldest living ancestor. You attribute all humans to flatworm sex!!! Ludicrous little religion.

Perhaps you know of a way to create offspring that does not involve sex?
Hey, no one questions whether flatworms do the wild thing. The issue is your claim that this resulted in you!

So a raven and a dove are two different kinds. But are a sparrow and a finch the same kind or different kinds?

Who cares? With the rapid evolution ability we had in the former state, it makes no honest sense to sit there guessing.


Ecuse me - you are the one demanding that reality be whatever you find most blissful.

I notice that God is Beautiful and what He makes has beauty. Like a genetic trait that can be seen woven in to creation. Godless evilution is evil, and ugly and Satanic. Not beautiful in any way.Flatworms having sex is all fine and dandy, the ugliness is someone claiming that all humans are a result of this! teaching that to kids is a great evil and offense to them and God.


And I find that when you call me "woman" you are reducing me to my gender, which comes across as very dismissive.

Too bad. You are what you are and a man is what he is. A bird is what it is. Let's be grown up about reality.

Mt 15:28 - Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
So I am asking you to respect my wishes and not call me that.

Ok man, I'll try
You are capable of showing respect, aren't you?
I try to reciprocate to some degree. That OK with you?
