yes, i remember going over the very same example in some of my math classes. but that's a flaw in the use of induction, not a flaw in induction itself. the point is, there is indeed a serious field of human knowledge that uses inductive proofs.

Wow - another ubelievably dumb argument from Col.

Um, just because the intellect has little to do with sexual activity (this is not true, BTW - and because you consider it true, I highly doubt your sexual prowess) does not mean it doesn't have a WHOLE LOT to do with survival. Survival until your offspring are capable of reproducing is very very important to the evolution of the species.

Therefore, one must consider the NET value of the trait to survival and reproduction and not just focus on one (false) negative of the trait. A perfect example of this is the sickle cell gene which will spread rapidly through a population because the positive effect of being more resistant to malaria is greater than the negative effect of sickle cell anemia in certain environments.

I will sya though that I do appreciate armchair philosophers like yourself and mark kennedy coming in and attempting to confront science with your poor excuses for "logic." You guys are always great at providing a little bit of (unintentional) humor!

Natural selection is supposed to eliminate the undesirable genes from the race (ie diabetes, alzheimers, etc.) but due to modern medicine, we are essentially making ourselves a genetically weaker race.

strangely enough, NS doesn't remove genes like those that cause Alzheimers, since they only come into effect after the main breeding period, so there is no selective pressure on them to go away.

...Did you even read the thread? Notice over the last 80 posts or so, many refutations have been posted, and he's either not been present or ignored them offhand for no decent reason.

I think that that may actually be the single most depressing thing I've ever read. I can't believe you even said it.

Get your eyeglasses prescription updated. The answer, since you've missed it, is this: the brain is a flexible and adaptive tool, capable of functioning (and messing up) beyond what we'll loosely call its original design specs. This sort of sexual dysfunction didn't evolve any more than suicide evolved; it's the result of a problem in the thinking process.

If you're having trouble getting the crisp in your cucumber and there isn't a physical cause, don't curse Darwin. See a psychologist.

That's a safe bet-- the chump proclaimed victory in the topic title.

You lying hound! I answered this question, amongst others.

And I answered your one about chickens and eggs on the Christians Only forum.

You, sir, are dishonest. You lie. You don't care about truth. You are, according to your own literalist standards, a servant of Satan, the father of lies.

It's pathetic, it really is. This folks is creationism in all its glory - a load of disgraceful unchristian dishonesty. Shun it. Have nothing to do with it.

I try to be fair and polite about these things, but I'm going to have to go with Karl on the lying hound thing.

Has anyone ever seen Colossians and SIXDAYCREATIONIST in the same room at the same time? This thread is IDENTICAL to one from a few months ago, with the above two playing the role of smug denyer and cheerleader.
Carico may rant and JohnR7 can be pedantic at times but the sheer self righteous arrogance of Col ticks people off worse than anything.

Not sure if this post is breaking any forum rules but I feel someone has to back Karl on this.

So youeither cannot read, did not read, or ignored the answers that were presented? Which is it?

The egg. That one was easy in Junior School, actually it was easy in Nursery...

Predicting your own posts doesn't qualify as prophecy, you know that, right? So you really don't have to post your excuses for lying. Please don't, I rather like not having anyone on ignore.
