Was Charles Darwin a fraud?

We agree then that scientists should do their work as they see fit.


Amen.


That's just not true. I cited to you the example of natural selection, something we actually see happen, and how our knowledge of it improves and saves lives.


Who is the "they" you're referring to?
Those who walk in the ways of rebellion. And to the question of if Darwin was a thief well his spiritual father was. He can be nothing else but a liar and a their when we walk in the rebellion of the devil and death.
You know Jesus healed with just a word. He didn't need darwins boo of lies. And Jesus tells his disciples that they could do greater things than he did. To bad Darwin wasn't teaching the world that. Mankinds knowledge of mankinds knowledge only leads to more death and ignorance. And now days they can even figure our what sex they are . And those were the ones who were taught dawins stolen lies.

How many different humanoid species have walked the Earth? More than 15. And Homo sapiens DNA has at least 3 of those other humanoid DNA in our DNA. That's more than a connect-the-dot in our own species evolutionary trajectory.

So what?

So God created apes in Genesis 1 with nearly the same DNA in them as Adam had.

What about it?

Have you seen my snowman challenge thread?

If I make a snowman in my backyard, and my neighbor does the same thing in his backyard later, does that mean his snowman came from my snowman?

Even though an analysis would show 100% "DNA"?

We're only what?

95% different in DNA than apes?

But that 5%, or whatever it is, came from an act of creation -- not evolution.

I guess I've lost track of what you've been getting at. I had the impression that you didn't approve of how some of us were interacting with AV, but that may be mistaken.

No, I'm neither approving nor disapproving. I'm just making some passing comments on what I think about the ongoing, overall utility of "Christian Clash," particularly where the debate between evolution and the book of Genesis is at center stage.

Once again: Darwin and the theory of evolution is not a book about spirituality, only about biological science. If anyone's making any lies, it's you and you alone.

The blessings that Darwin gave us is the understandings and wonderment of how God creates new life forms. That's not death...that's Life!

So reading John 9 would have no effect on how they do their work.

That is correct.

They could memorize it and make it a new year's resolution to adhere to it.

But as soon as they pass that front door, their new year's resolution gets abandoned.

Else they'll end up eventually getting terminated.

And all this is is a fantasy claim from you, only.

Only based on logic and evidence, not on the feelings of one random poster on the internet.

One random poster on the interned wouldn't have been so quick to pass out binomials in the first place.

How do you think we got "Haroldcookii"?

Those who walk in the ways of rebellion.
Ok thanks.

And to the question of if Darwin was a thief well his spiritual father was. He can be nothing else but a liar and a their when we walk in the rebellion of the devil and death.
I'm not following your point. Darwin was correct about natural selection being a driving force behind evolutionary change. We know that because we can see it.

You know Jesus healed with just a word. He didn't need darwins boo of lies.
That makes no sense. I have no idea why anyone would think Jesus would've needed to rely on Darwin to heal.

And Jesus tells his disciples that they could do greater things than he did. To bad Darwin wasn't teaching the world that.
Because Darwin wasn't a Messiah, Rabbi, Priest, or anything like that. You could bash a car mechanic for the same reason. Too bad that mechanic didn't teach the world that!?!

Mankinds knowledge of mankinds knowledge only leads to more death and ignorance.
Nope, that's just plain not true. But I notice how you don't have a problem using "mankind's knowledge" to express yourself.

And now days they can even figure our what sex they are . And those were the ones who were taught dawins stolen lies.
I had a hard time finding a parking spot at the restaurant last night. Must've been Darwin's fault!!

For the record, Reneep, I like to think Darwin got saved before he died.

Academians deny that,* but I like to think the Lady Hope story really happened.

* With friends like that, who needs enemies!?

By the misidentification of a single fossilized tooth of an extinct pecary by a man called Henry Fairfield Osborn.

I guess I really have lost track of your point.

My intent is not to get anyone to change their beliefs or interpretations. The main thing I'm focused on is persuading some Christians to stop pitting scripture and Christianity against science. It's driving some people away from the faith.

You mean his own family who actually knew him and were with him when he died despite the claims made by a woman 30 years after Darwin died? Those academians?

That's not how genetic testing works. Did you really think geneticists are like "Well the sequences are similar so they must be related"? Is that really all you think there is to it?
