Tools far pre date man, evolution theory kicked in face

[davedajobauk]

Dismissed. I do not find it particularity 'light' for you to claim millions of years as some sort of fact, then slink off, by the way. Don't blame it on the bible pal.

LOL....

Attitude, is EVERYTHING 'Dad' ..... and you sure treat respondents 'accordingly' (ie: from your High Place)


The tools were found in sediment (?) beneath TWO 'polar-reversals' ?? [a calendar reference/ periodic timetable]
Sediment, is that which settles out of water that inundates an area for long periods
The ONLY calendar we have for these relics (found in sediments) is traces of radioactive decay (~elements)
What 'human' was around, to RECORD it, anyway ?

I cannot say, if the Great Flood of Noah's time, was that inundation (of course!!!)
But, you should not rule out 'past-civilisations' having been washed-away ~by God's Almighty Hand
Yes, exactly !!

We learn 'BY TRIAL AND ERROR'
We do not 'BLINDLY WONDER'
We use: what we have been given ~'to understand' (even if, only eventually)

Are we all 'NAIVE CHILDREN', to you ? (rhetorical question only)

PS.
I really-like this poem by PsychoSarah

And there lies in that final sin
That man should think himself so high
To know completely god's every whim
And reach above to grasp the sky

But all they shall hold is empty air
The knowledge of god they shall not reach
God did not put heaven there
For those who don't practice what they preach

Magnetic reversals would be expected in a nature change. They do not mean old age.

I do rule out past civilizations! God wiped out mankind once. WHY INVENT IMAGINARY OTHER CIVILIZATIONS?


As far as your shrill cries of some supposed superiority complex, I will chalk that off to the excuses of one having a losing case. Try to focus, not on me, but ideas. Then you might learn from superior ideas!

I go to SPECSAVERS.....

The two polar-reversals were discovered ABOVE the sedimentary layer in which the 'tools' were found
ergo the tools predate, those reversals (?)

As a matter of geological record, the Earth's magnetic field has undergone numerous reversals of polarity.
We can see this in the magnetic patterns found in volcanic rocks, especially those recovered from the ocean floors.
In the last 10 million years, there have been, on average, 4 or 5 reversals per million years.

on average ONCE every two million years ????

How you handle your thoughts and beliefs, are down to you

Prove magnetic reversals only happen in your imaginary millions of years or state drive exposed as peddling belief. As I said, if the laws and forces and nature changed, magnetic reversals reflect something that was rapid and more recent.

You see, it is not belief versus science, but belief as science versus SCRIPTURE.

I CHOOSE to disagree
You are being pedantic and are far too literalistic (as in 'transfixed') for me to engage your manner

Everything changes... so we adapt (to cope / enjoy / make the best of the change)

Fundamentals, they too, change /grow, with learning (familiarisation/ given room)
I have no argument with 'scripture'... and, of-course, I allow it to speak to me (absolutely)

It is personal interpretation (as unique, as we all are) that enables /or disables (includes /precludes)
'shades of grey' to-exist, with, the Prime Colours (?)
that produces the capability, for envisioning of, the 'clearer picture' (vision)
Whereas 'closed-minds', (intentionally) look, no-further than, the end of their nose
and, will 'SEE, only, what THEY want to see' (for-reason: ego / vanity / choice)
regardless, as to whether their VIEW, may be 'suspect' (WRONG) for-this would 'shake their roots'

I have read, where these polar reversals, occur; approximately, every 65,000 years or so
and also, by this 'standard' that the next one, is, a little OVERDUE
(it isn't a clockwork event ~we are talking 'averages')

Your beliefs, are plainly in denial, of, true facts
which, in-passing, also makes some of your statements 'mistaken' / 'uninformed' / 'unreliable'
and in fact 'untruthful', in their propositions

Have you also read where the Jews were never in Egypt?

Have you also read Moses never existed?

Have you also read God doesn't exist?

Do you believe everything you read?

Or do you pick and choose what you want to believe?

 

[PsychoSarah]

The issue is not using tools. The issue is manufacturing real tools and the deliberated effort that is involved such as hammer and anvil, flaking stones, etc. You can't compare that to a monkey banging a banana with a stick or something. The archeological find is not 'evolution theory'. From what I hear, they have always assumed tools were from man when they found some. They did not assign the clovis arrow head to deer for example, but to earlier man.

Yeah, our species is really prone to hubris, if you haven't noticed. It was less than 50 years ago that we finally accepted we weren't the only species on the planet alive today that makes and uses tools, and plenty of people refuse to accept it even now. Language too, people are stubborn, even scientists sometimes.

A good thing my irony meter is made of tough stuff, otherwise it would have broken right now. Need I remind you that you once said that you wouldn't accept evolution as valid even if you had a time machine and could watch it happen from single cell life to modern humans?

Do you believe, what your heart says to you ?



Let us go with our INSTINCTS (a given ability, to feel comfortable)
If, it feels RIGHT, then it probably is 'right'
If it feels WRONG, turn-away

I figure, that I have NOT walked a 'non-existent' path
nor, led a USELESS existence
and, my accumulated experience (wit) has witnessed sufficient
to permit me, to-acknowledge 'the works', of eminent expertise (in their fields)
as-having; merit / 'justly reported' their experiences (findings)

If, I learn 'something to the contrary' I will amend my thinking (as can we all)

Where have I heard that line before?

 

[davedajobauk]

(There, the interpretational difference/ variation within re-wording)

Isn't Satan reputed to encourage sin with it's use ?

A 'good heart' will gauge it's feelings, before suggesting, action/reaction
and, when it does, is likely to stop short of, 'causing harm' / 'wilful sin' (?)

That is actually a flawed way of thinking, highly prone to personal bias and circumventing logic. It sure sounds poetic, but if one wishes to avoid bias as much as possible, personal feelings are irrelevant.

Same answer, to both

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life - and living apart from Him means that we are dead in our sins and trespasses. But if you're born-again, (literally, "born from above") He doesn't promise to make our lives easy. If you are a Christian, the Bible promises trials, temptations, persecutions...but having the proper understanding of what Christ did for us and how it makes it all worth it, nothing will be able to tear us apart from Him. He promises that His Spirit will live in us and guide us, and that when we die, we will be in heaven with Him. So, the question is: how can one be made right with God and escape the Judgment to come, and gain the blessings of God in Christ?

Having a right relationship with God begins with acknowledging your sin. Next comes a humble confession of your sin to God (Isaiah 57:15) and a determination to forsake the sin. “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved” (Romans 10:10).

This repentance must be accompanied by faith – specifically, faith that Jesus’ sacrificial death and miraculous resurrection qualify Him to be your Savior. “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Many other passages speak of the necessity of faith, such as John 20:27;Acts 16:31;Galatians 2:16;3:11,26; and
Ephesians 2:8.

Being right with God is a matter of your response to what God has done on your behalf. He sent the Savior, He provided the sacrifice to take away your sin (John 1:29), and He offers you the promise: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Acts 2:21).

If, God be with us ......... (?)

If the Good Shepherd will not lose, even a single-sheep..........

Should we not trust in the Spirit within all of us, to make sure our understanding ~or, at-least 'study the lesson'
Yes, by all means, we should 'test' those things / persons that make claims
But, 'what do you use to test them' with [Bible] and your own understanding

Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren,
whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort
or fall into various temptations.
James 1: 2

We are NOT ALONE, not even, in temptation

But, 'what do you use to test them' with [Bible] and your own understanding

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

 

[The Cadet]

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

If I'm understanding this verse correctly, what it's basically saying is, "No matter what the evidence and facts may say, don't let your faith be swayed"? That's terrifying!

 

[davedajobauk]

 

[AV1611VET]

Did you notice he said, "Never take your eyes off your opponent, even when you bow"?

My faith is unwavering.....
But 'religion-chat' has strayed-away from the OP

and thus, the portent of the finding ~of those 'tools'

ahhhhh an offence worthy of deletion and castigation, not, so very long ago

Times, 'change things' ...while some folks claim "NOTHING CHANGES THE FACTS"
despite those facts having become superseded
Let us continue to believe, what His Spirit, tells us (each, to our own understanding)
For none of us knows Him as He does
