I think if you truly want to believe something, science will make a way for it to be explained ... at least on paper.But don't discount science based on misinformation.
I asked, didn't I?Pretty much. I think we're living inside of God.
Hmmm ... good point.Now now Av, you are twisting words.
Lets look at your quote.
As we have said, it's not an outright claim of factual knowledge, it's a hypothesis. Life is "Thought" to come from non living matter in the scientific community.
It's not a lie if it is simply alleged. It could only be a lie if it were stated as fact.
I think if you truly want to believe something, science will make a way for it to be explained ... at least on paper.
This is why abortion is rampant now.
Scientists changed the term "child in the womb" to "fetus".
And that's just one example of many.

The misinformation does not come from Science,....
Hmmm ... good point.
I shall acquiesce.
Technically the misinformation can come from any source even sources that are considered to be "scientific" at that time.
No, no. We are not talking about a lack of understanding in certain fields, which is then corrected or built on.
We are talking about a statement that is twisted and reworded to mean something it originally did not mean.
Do you seriously think a question so stupid deserves reply?The computer is new, do you believe they don't exist?
You WILL get your proof and you WILL kneel. The only question is whether it is before you die or after.Nope, you provide proof and I will kneel.
Then discard it. ALL proper nouns are capitalized. If you say a god it is not, but if you say God it is capitalized.My Oxford Dictionary spell checker does not red flag god without capital.
Personal eyewitness testimony is not hearsay.So you admit, outside scripture there is no evidence of god except hearsay.
Between any two allegedly transitioned fossils we should see hundreds of "tweeners." We don't. We see fully formed life forms with no evidence whatever of transition. There shouldn't be fossils in deserts or mountain peaks, but there is. There shouldn't be fossils where there are other predators because they would eat the remains. We still find them. We find millions of animals buried quickly and encased in sediment, which we would expect from a global flood.1: What would you accept as a transitional fossil? (No real answer here I suspect)
We can observe a color wheel in motion. Increasing complexity has never been observed.2: Look at a colour wheel, red moving clockwise to blue and please point out what you would consider the transitional point of half red and half blue. Again, you can't I suspect.
False. Multiple claimants giving the same testimony in the absence of an alibi or any exculpatory evidence will send you to prison every time.No, a testimony is subjective and is usually required to be backed up with objective evidence in a court of law.
Burned any witches lately, or do you just revel in anachronistic metaphors?Otherwise we could just walk around saying "He did it" and then we would be back to burning witches.
Blasphemy is not allowed.No thanks. God can take a hike!
You nearly drowned. Drowning is a cause of death..... I've drowned twice, both back when I believed,
Actually, NDE's that include encounters with a deity are extremely rare. It's also rare to see an angel or demon and survive, because that means you're clinically dead. You're more likely to see a bright light or a loved one.my "Vision" had nothing to do with god.
You knew my ex wife?As I explained before, spending 15 years in a torturous situation
Who sent the atheist?.... while believing and begging god and jesus for mercy and telling them how I'm not worthy but if they could find it in their loving hearts to accept me and simply help me, send me a sign, give me strength or something... they ignored me and an Atheist saved me.
I notice you're still alive.... well I am a walking testimony and neither god nor jesus did jack for me.
Why did Job?Well God is suppose to be omni stuff, able to do absolutely anything... meaning he chose not to, why on Earth would I want to love and worship someone who let me suffer?
They usually do not.Or second hand if you like, one of the 2 people I performed CPR on when I was a lifeguard, she had a "Vision" and hers was nothing to do with god,
God didn't apparently need to appear to her to give her peace, the image of her daughter was quite sufficient. Here's the lesson you need to learn. It's the secret to it all.in fact she believed more than I did and was quite upset that her near death vision was about her daughter... not god and she wondered why.
Sorry, but no.God wasn't there... I was.
Why is the onus always on us to provide evidence for Evolution etc?
We provide evidence that gets ignored, and more evidence is asked for.
Yet when we ask for Evidence of god, all we get is scripture.
We make an assertion, we get asked to offer explanations and evidence. We do exactly this and then it gets ignored.
The Transitional Fossil argument is a good example, a question that is infinite.
But easily counter-argued.
We've asked for evidence of God and we get scripture.
We also are constantly explaining that Evolution does not have a conciousness or plan... this also gets ignored.
So... I ask 2 questions.
1: What is god's "End Game"? What does god plan the end result of his creation to be and what is to become of it?
2: I would like someone to offer up some form of evidence that does NOT centre around the Bible.
Quotes from the Bible will not be accepted as an answer.
We offer a scientific paper and get asked for a different one to back it up.
Therefore if one book of science is not enough evidence for you, then one book from religion is not enough for us.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
I'm asking the same thing, there's one book that everyone uses to "Prove god" , well I'm asking... Challenging, anyone to offer up something that is NOT from this book and is evidence without simple hearsay.
Anyone?
Sorry, but no.
God was there.
God gave you the desire to learn lifesaving skills.
God gave you the ability to keep cool while others panicked and do what you were trained to do.
You provided air and circulation. The autonomic nervous system that God designed in her took over from there.
God loves her and wants her with Him, but He is patient and willing to let her go on. Perhaps the near death encounter will make her a stronger person and a better witness for God. It frequently has that effect; except when someone would rather blame God for all the things that go wrong in his life.
Well, there were eggs before there were chickens.The evidences are pretty simple, which come first, chicken or egg?
Did you know that in honeybees, the males develop from unfertilized eggs? They are not XY, they are just X, and they are missing not just the X chromosomes but have just half the usual number of chromosomes. And in chickens, the males have ZZ chromosomes while the females have ZW. What was your question again?dcalling said:Why is the Y Chromosome getting shorter over time?
Well if I understand that sentence fragment, I would simply point out that a lot of them aren't missing anymore. We've found a great many since Darwin wrote.dcalling said:The missing links in fossil records.
Evolution is not revolution. It takes a very long time to observe speciation in long-lived species, with long generation times. It has been observed in viruses, bacteria, mosquitoes and fruit-flies though.dcalling said:There are strong evidences of natural selection (systematic distinction of species), but few evidence of revolution (except on simple cells).
We have observed new traits in species. In some desert rats for instance we have observed the appearance of mutations that change fur color from tan to black and because the species has been so well studied, we can, tell just how often the mutation will appear in a population of known size.dcalling said:The best examples of revolution come from human involvement of DNA changing, but in my view, it is either bring up old traits that already exists, or creating something that might fail in some way (i.e. dogs with certain traits but got other problems that leads to pre-mature organ failure).
What evidence is there of evolution? That mutations can not account for the formation of new genetic material? That mutations reach a saturation limit and then no new variations are ever produced?

That fossils are the same from the first T-Rex to the last T-Rex, with no micro or macro evolution appearing at all? That a static state is evident from all creatures that survived the cataclysm?
Dodging living fossils
Living Fossils
That many transitory species are merely the young or old of existing species?

Its a false religion.

I would like to point out that there is no clear and definite line between the chemistry we call "life" and the chemistry we do not call life. When you look really close, there are things like viruses that seem alive only when in the special environment of a living cell, where specialized chemical processes are taking place. None of these processes are unique to life. The same rules of chemistry apply. "Life" is just a convenient way of loosely relating some sorts of chemistry. So, for that matter, is "psychology". Scientists have mapped the "spiritual" activity of the brain. "Knowing" is like an emotion. It can arise with no reasoning at all.
We do what we do. Sometimes we know why, and sometimes we just make up a story to tell ourselves about why we did what we did, and like Flip Wilson's Geraldine, we might say, "The devil made me do it!" Paul of Tarsus made himself wretched because he would do what he "knew" he shouldn't. It's no devil. It's just one part of our brain, the amygdala, acting before the reasoning part of our brain has even figured out what's going on. And sometimes the anterior cingulate cortex where such reasoning as we are able to do takes place, can actually change how we react. Mostly though, it just makes up stories and excuses.
And most people, for most of human history, have believed what made them comfortable, what society wanted them to believe, because if they didn't at least pretend to believe, there was the rack, and the stake, and the gallows, and the stoning field.
I have walked nearly seventy years through the horror that is the human race, and I learned early on to keep my mouth shut if I wanted to live un-tortured. Here I can speak with out alienating my family.
Religion is delusion, and if you back a religious person into an corner, he will react viciously, just like any psychotic person. I cannot blame people for being religious. They are, in fact, not sane, because of their beloved, self-protecting delusions.
"The foundation of irreligious criticism is: Man makes religion, religion does not make man. Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopaedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point dhonneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion. Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo."
What ignorance. Living your whole life with the Dynamics of the Spiritual Realm in our midst and you lack any apprehension.
To further present your ignorance towards others, you without evidence say that the Spiritual Realm does not exist. I mean how do you know, being absent experience of it.
But of course your a smart man and understand what you do not understand.
