Then why don't you define it?levans said:i know exactly what ur trying to do, we all know what macroevolution is,
That's hard to believe considering your inability to spell properly, your complete lack of understanding with respect to how science works, and your inability to back up your claims. Have you studied science at the college level?and i study science and have studies evolution in great detail,
Then why is it the conclusion of the scientific community? Is it some sort of vast conspiracy? Why can't you prove it to be wrong?and have found their isno substancial proof that it occurs.
It's hard to believe that you study science in detail considering you don't know how science works in the first place. You can't prove anything to be true in science; you can only prove that they are false. The better question is, 'can we substantiate evolution?' And the answer is yes.When i say this i am talkin about macroevolution. Now im sayin to u can u prove macroevolution?
As I said before, prove it. Prove that the mechanism for microevolution and macroevolution are different. Macroevolution is nothing more than microevolution over time.macroevolution is not microevolution, ur changing topics, their two entirely different concepts,
Of course there is no "proof" of a frog turning into a horse because you are parading around a strawman version of the theory of evolution, which states no such thing. You say you've studied evolution, but if you had, you wouldn't be promoting such a blatantly obvious misrepresentation of it.microevolution is like a frog getting greener or bigger due to environmental factors however as u know macroevolution is completely different, like a frog turning into a horse, their is no proff of this so i dont see how u believe in what u believe considering their is no facts supporting your so called "facts"
Prove it. (You can't, obviously).oh and if u look in any book about evolution, look at the refferences, go to that book and keep going to the refferences, they all either refer to each other or back to Darwin, sorry to burst ya bubble but that to me doesnt count as a fact, just because another person says its true without any decent proof
Bless ya
This doesn't answer my original question.JohnR7 said:Being of one mind comes with maturity and perfection. If people are not in agreement, it just means they need to grow up.
As I said before, prove it. Prove that the mechanism for microevolution and macroevolution are different. Macroevolution is nothing more than microevolution over time.
I have asuggestion. Find the last one of your posts and work your way forward. Then you don't miss things.JohnR7 said:Did I miss something> I usually go to the end of a thred and work my way back. I will try and go back to see if you wrote a post I did not see.
So why bring up my work? Isn't that a threat that mine won't stand testing by fire? After all, if you thought my work would stand testing, there is no reason to bring the subject up, is there?No, it's not a threat, I thought you knew a little bit about your Bible. Did you not read the part where every man's work will be tested by fire.
Have I ever posted to you what you posted to me about your work not standing the test of fire?I know that, the question is do you know your not God.
Ah, out of context again. John, will you please stop raping the Bible?It is no threat, your work will be tested by fire.
1 Cor. 3:10-15
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. [11] For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, [13] each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. [14] If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. [15] If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
Hmmm. You seem to have left out worrying about being God's servant! You seem to worry more about yourself than you do your fellow humans or any harm that your actions cause God.I worry about doing what I can to please God and living a life that is well pleasing to Him. I worry about living a life of victory and overcoming all obsticals and adversity right up to the end.
Why should I suffer loss if you do? Sorry, John, but complete non sequitor.If you think my work is going to end up as ashes, then how much more are you going to suffer loss when your work is tested?
People making mistakes about evolution is very different than saying evolution is a mistake. Can you see the difference? Saying evolution supports the "great chain of being" is a mistake about evolution. But evolution is not a mistake.JohnR7 said:lucaspa: Now, can you point to anywhere on this long page where it says evolution is wrong or false?
The artical talks about "common mistakes" that people try to pass off as evolution. Even perhaps people like you Lucas. Are you going to try to deny that a lot of what people claim is evolution is not evolution at all?
And so Christianity is destroyed by turning it into another feel good about yourself selfish lifestyle! No wonder evangelical Christians are all for tax cuts and more for me, me, me! Jesus is weeping.JohnR7 said:Either way, I would still live the christian life for the benifits that I am able to receive here and now. Benifits that can be substantiated by science and scientific methoid.
And you think God is so dumb that He won't figure out that your belief is a fake just to get the reward?Sounds like pascal's wager, where we have everything to gain and nothing to lose. The benifit is that I do have comfort in that if there is a afterlife than I am covered. If there is no afterlife, then you say, "I will not be disappointed".
Sorry, but the theory was based upon and tested against facts. Obviously you have not read Origin of the Species! Let's try just one example:levans said:all evolutionary facts arent actual facts, look up on where all the sources are from. If u look back, u see the only source they all end up referring to is Darwins theory's.
1. G Kilias, SN Alahiotis, and M Pelecanos. A multifactorial genetic investigation of speciation theory using drosophila melanogaster Evolution 34:730-737, 1980. Fact -- observation -- of microevolution producing a new species -- macroevolution.Ok in the whole developing over time theory, sure microevolution happens all the time (frog gets greener, or bigger for the environment) however u can not use microevolution to prove macroevolution correct.
Ah, the idea that theory is just a wild guess. Yes, making up a theory does not make it fact. Testing the theory against facts does, however, make it fact. Remember, gravity is a theory. However, it has been tested so much that you consider gravity to be a fact. You don't throw yourself off buildings thinking gravity is "just a theory and not proved", do you? Well, evolution has been tested as much as gravity and, by the same way that gravity is fact, evolution is fact. BTW, see the thread "Evolution proved".By one person makin up a theory, and that is all it is, does not all of a sudden make it a fact. A fact is something proved, so everything to do with evolution is only a theory, nothing has been proved.
Sorry, but even creationists say that is wrong. It was always a lie. It is an argument you can't use anymore. http://www.answersingenesis.org/Home/Area/faq/dont_use.aspOh and just another little note, u know darwin, well before he died, he stated he was wrong, and died a christian
God created us by evolution.i wonder what u can say in defence of ur politically correct verson of where we came from
levans said:Politically correct, in that if u believe in evolution, that means hey i can do what i want, when i die im dead, no heaven, i dont havta worry about any God or heaven. The bible is not politically correct, and u obviously know that, can u explain to me how evolution is not politically correct?
the reason i said its politically correct is that the world trys to embrace the ideals and make it (evolution) socially acceptable. By being socially acceptable to believe in these "facts" (which are only theorys) it gives humans a care free attitude, to not think about themselves, to get money, to get drunk, being sexually imoral, basically to live a sinful life. Dont get me wrong by no way am i sayin u are like that, ur probably a great citizen however by evolution being politically correct it allows their to be more ppl getin into the worldly lifestyle, thus more product being bought and the rich get richer.
If you have studied what you claim, then you know that macroevolution is speciation. That is, the formation of a new species from an existing one. See the thread http://www.christianforums.com/t155626 for just a few examples of observed formation of new species -- macroevolution.levans said:i know exactly what ur trying to do, we all know what macroevolution is, and i study science and have studies evolution in great detail, and have found their isno substancial proof that it occurs.
Yes, there is. Even by your warped defintion of "macroevolution". Frogs and horses are in different classes in taxonomy. Well, we have transitional series of individuals showing the evolution of a species in one class thru several different species to a species in a different class.macroevolution is not microevolution, ur changing topics, their two entirely different concepts, microevolution is like a frog getting greener or bigger due to environmental factors however as u know macroevolution is completely different, like a frog turning into a horse, their is no proff of this so
The facts exist. You are just not aware of them and Dr. Dino has lied to you about their existence. I'm really sorry you have been conned. Dr. Dino has committed a grave sin in doing so.i dont see how u believe in what u believe considering their is no facts supporting your so called "facts"
It only appears that way because you don't understand how facts are related to theory. I know I've explained this to you before, John, and your post says you didn't pay attention. However, I'll keep trying. Try to pay attention. Ask if you don't understand or if you think you found an error. But please read carefully. Make sure you are commenting on what I actually wrote, not something I didn't.JohnR7 said:Bellman: First up, ALL facts are facts, by definition
It is kind of like a shell game, which shell is the facts under. The probelm is they keep moving the shells around.
Why would accepting evolution mean that? Rev. McCosh (second quote in my signature) certainly worried about God.levans said:Politically correct, in that if u believe in evolution, that means hey i can do what i want, when i die im dead, no heaven, i dont havta worry about any God or heaven.
The literal interpretation of the Bible isn't Christian, either.The bible is not politically correct,
No it doesn't. Think about evolution. Evolution means passing your genes on to children. If you thought only of yourself and did nothing but get drunk, your children would not survive because you would not be taking care of them. So, evolution forces you to think of others in order to survive and reproduce: your mate, your children, your tribe. People who don't think of others don't pass their genes for selfishness on to the next generation.the reason i said its politically correct is that the world trys to embrace the ideals and make it (evolution) socially acceptable. By being socially acceptable to believe in these "facts" (which are only theorys) it gives humans a care free attitude, to not think about themselves, to get money, to get drunk, being sexually imoral, basically to live a sinful life.
Excuse me, but having more product being bought and the rich getting richer is being promoted by evangelical Christians in their version of selfishness that they call Christianity. I would worry more about that perversion of Christianity than I would about evolution.thus more product being bought and the rich get richer.
In all fairness, lucaspa, John's not competing with me, he's testing his credibility against Kent Hovind.lucaspa said:Nathan. John, we have dozens of examples where you have made claims of what evolution is that are not evolution. You are indeed living proof that not all of what people claim is evolution is actually evolution.
It was not a threat at all, I was just concerned that maybe your wasting to much of your time on things that in the end will not add up to more than a pile of beans. Of course I am sure that you could care less if I am concerned or not. I am simply answering your question as to why I brought it up.lucaspa said:So why bring up my work? Isn't that a threat that mine won't stand testing by fire? After all, if you thought my work would stand testing, there is no reason to bring the subject up, is there?
Darwin did NOT die a christian, nor did he recant. That is a lie. Why don't you actually do some research and learn?levans said:Darwin did die a Christian, can u prove otherwise?
What nonsense. Evolution does not equate to atheism. The vast majority of the world's christians accept evolution. Again, do some research and learn.levans said:Politically correct, in that if u believe in evolution, that means hey i can do what i want, when i die im dead, no heaven, i dont havta worry about any God or heaven. The bible is not politically correct, and u obviously know that, can u explain to me how evolution is not politically correct?
More nonsense. Evolution has nothing to do with, and says nothing about, what behaviour is moral or immoral.levans said:the reason i said its politically correct is that the world trys to embrace the ideals and make it (evolution) socially acceptable. By being socially acceptable to believe in these "facts" (which are only theorys) it gives humans a care free attitude, to not think about themselves, to get money, to get drunk, being sexually imoral, basically to live a sinful life. Dont get me wrong by no way am i sayin u are like that, ur probably a great citizen however by evolution being politically correct it allows their to be more ppl getin into the worldly lifestyle, thus more product being bought and the rich get richer.
Why don't you try to stick to the truth? You haven't studied science or evolution "in great detail" - you don't know the first thing about science, as you have shown.levans said:i study science and have studies evolution in great detail,
Considering that 99% of what lucaspa says tends to fly over your head like an F-15 doing MACH 2, I'd say you had little reason to even bring up his work.JohnR7 said:It was not a threat at all, I was just concerned that maybe your wasting to much of your time on things that in the end will not add up to more than a pile of beans. Of course I am sure that you could care less if I am concerned or not. I am simply answering your question as to why I brought it up.
John, I have yet to see lucaspa do anything of the sort. Can you cite a single post in which he, and not you, do this?I try to see past your childish way of doing things to get at what is really going on. You need to allow the Bible to show you what it means to be mature.
Of course. The Bible means whatever JohnR7 says it means.Your going by man made opinions that are just not accurate. It is not so difficult, just use your concordance, do a word search on the word "mature". You will begin to have a working understanding of the concept in no time at all. The KJV actually uses the word: "perfect" but do not let that throw you.
