The origin of evolution.

[3sigma]

Yes God has been observed. Jesus was observed by many many people. They even wrote a book about him.

So you simply believe what is written in a book that also contains stories about animals and plants talking, of a global flood, of the Universe, the Earth and all life being created in six literal days and of people walking on water, all of which have been shown to be false? If so then I’m sorry, but I just don’t trust your ability to come to a sound conclusion based on logic, reasoning and evidence.

By the way, you didn’t answer the questions about angels, Satan, heaven and hell. Have they ever been observed?

No, there isn't. Merely repeating yourself isn't going to impress anyone. You've said this several times, and its been refuted several times.

Have you never heard of such processes as erosion and chemical, and physical alteration of rocks?

And with respect to fossilisation, how likely do you think it is that any particular organism, on dying, will end up fossilised and surviving to the current day, bearing in mind geological processing, some of which I mentioned just above?

Haha Iaaonicstudent don't flatter yourself. No one's trying to impress you.

I included the secondary sources to show that the author isn't some wacko with this crazy idea either.

Wacos with crazy ideas can cite sources. That doesn’t make their crazy ideas true factual

Iaaonicsstudent, Most of the sources he used were from books.....which i don't have........


Also when I said i picked it up from a book that I'm reading I meant I picked it up from a book I'm reading.

More credible than popular science articles because at least he states his sources and quotes directly from them.

i didnt cite a source

just put forth the crazy idea

 

[laconicstudent]

Iaaonicsstudent, Most of the sources he used were from books.....which i don't have........

He cited books?

Well there goes all of his credibility.

Also when I said i picked it up from a book that I'm reading I meant I picked it up from a book I'm reading.

So you really don't understand the subject?

More credible than popular science articles because at least he states his sources and quotes directly from them.

I don't particularly care. Popular science articles and popular science books are much the same. And since his sources are other books, it wouldn't appear his book has any basis in actual science.

 

[UnionJack]

Yes all of his sources were from books and if that takes away all his credibility guess Im reading the wrong thing?

 

[TerranceL]

I only accept things which have been observed.

I do not believe in things which have never been observed e.g. invisible pink unicorns, gravitons, gravitational waves, black holes, neutron stars, the Big Bang, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Dark Flow or any other kind of Dark.

And yet it's perfectly ok to believe that ET is god.

Actually I picked it up from a book I'm reading, One Heartbeat Away by Mark Cahill, and he listed 3 pages of sources where he picked it up.

I checked his website and he's an apologist and that's an apologetics book. I doubt the material contained within is much better than the Creationist sources he probably got his source material from (which, itself is entirely 2nd gen sourcing at best). If the most compelling thing you took away from it with regard to evolution is a straw man (where's the trillions of half-this, half-that) it doesn't sound like a very valuable resource to bring to this discussion.
