Again, whatever you have to tell yourself.
You want to insist that you came from a rock?
That's your decision.
Since time out of mind. Does not the Bible say that human life begins at "quickening?"
Again, I don't "have" to tell myself anything.
I never said any such thing.
My decision is to accept what the evidence points to, instead of what I "want" to be true.
You did, but you just didn't realize it.
Sorry, you can't have this and the fable of evolution. Pick one.
Why are you doing this? The impression you're giving is that you have no substantive reply to make about the facts, and you're just trying to save face (with who? yourself?) by dismissing it. It's disrespectful, and it makes you and your position look bad.Again, whatever you have to tell yourself. You want to insist that you came from a rock? That's your decision.
You say that like reality would change if we wish we came from magic beans, or were made of tinfoil or some such nonsense? Reality is what it is and the evidence will bear it out.Again, whatever you have to tell yourself. You want to insist that you came from a rock? That's your decision.

Hmmm, there are unwanted people who have no intellectual capacity and cannot survive independently so I guess they're lucky to be a large bundle of cells or they wouldn't be deserving of life either. You are now condeming a fetus to a death sentence as If it has some kind of choice that it is dependent on it's mother. If an adult person is in a coma we can only guess if it would it would want to live or not. Sometimes family members have to make that choice on the basis of what they think the person would want. What do you think a fetus would want if it could chose. You are pro-choice aren't you?That is your opinion
Is a small bundle of cells that has no intellectual capacity and cannot survive independently (even with medical support) a person? That is what we are considering before 12 weeks.
It's not a matter of deserving life, but rather if, at that point in development, an embryo should be considered an individual. The legal answer ended up being no, on the grounds that an embryo cannot live independently. Feel free to take issue with that all you like.Hmmm, there are unwanted people who have no intellectual capacity and cannot survive independently so I guess they're lucky to be a large bundle of cells or they wouldn't be deserving of life either.
-_- as an on and off suicidal autistic person that my mother decided not to abort, honestly, it might have been better if I was never born. So, thanks for making me think about that (sarcasm).You are now condeming a fetus to a death sentence as If it has some kind of choice that it is dependent on it's mother.

I did not and I fully realise where that silly stereotype strawman came from.

^ What he said ^
You're clearly not here to offer an argument, since you refuse to make one. The problem is, you do want to offer your opinion on evolution, and you refuse to engage those who have arguments to offer. If you don't want to argue for your position, why bother offering it?My response was to a response without substance. I'm not here to argue for or against the fable of evolution. I made a comment concerning the silliness of the OP, and that comment was picked at by opinion.
Sure there are. There are scads of facts that support evolution. I'd be happy to show you some of them. . . but you've made it clear that you don't want to know about them. That's an effective defense mechanism (I guess), but the rest of us don't have to pretend that there are no facts just because you are.There are no 'facts' to respond to.
Yeah, there it is again: the dismissive response while refusing to engage. That's the approach that isn't working (assuming your words are intended to have some effect on other people, that is).Get over yourself.
No, it's true because there's lots of evidence that it's true. That's what's in all of those peer-reviewed publications that you haven't looked at but are sure don't have any facts in them because . . . how exactly do you know that there are no facts supporting evolution again?So, it's true because a bunch of you all agree with each other that it's true.
I am too emotional about this quote to comment on the other things. You many not believe that there is a God who loves you and I can't prove it. You may not believe that the people on this website love you and I can't prove that either. You may not believe that we are happy that your mother made the right decision but we are.......even though I can't prove that anyone is, including myself. Some things that we can't prove are true but I hope you'll at least accept one of my statements as truth.-_- as an on and off suicidal autistic person that my mother decided not to abort, honestly, it might have been better if I was never born. So, thanks for making me think about that (sarcasm).
And, yeah, prenatal screenings showed that there was something potentially off in my development.

.....so where will we get vaccines from? What about medicines, pharmaceuticals and medical technology like gene therapies? How will we work towards curing Cancer, and any number of other genetic diseases and conditions, and will we have to give back all the cures and treatments we've already found using Evolution? How about Oil and Coal, how will we work out where to find these deposits? (actually, I'm okay leaving all that in the ground, tbh...), and all the food we've improved to being so edible and bountiful with less effort and better resistance to environmental adversities...The reality is that when it's all said and done, the evolutionary tale will evaporate in the wind and you'll all be the subject of ridicule for centuries to come.
Yeah, I know, with all those practical applications, reliable results, predictive capabilities and what have you, it'll be fooling people for centuries! It'll be doing untold damage feeding the world, improving the health and well-being of everyone and providing a foundation to obtain resources that'll power the whole thing while all that untold damage is going on....And the real sad thing will be that foe all it's victims who placed their faith in a lie, will by then be without hope. History will adjust, but that won't be one bit of help for those it destroyed along the way. Evolution deserves to be mocked and ridiculed relentlessly. It's just too bad so many haven't figured that out yet.
I think YECs can handle that, don't you?.....so where will we get vaccines from?

not if evolution wasn't a thing, no.I think YECs can handle that, don't you?

Nice. Guess it's hard to argue with the ad populum fallacy.
