There are no major changes, just a lot of small ones.They understand it the same way anyone does. They just disagree that it can account for major changes, like one kind of animal to another kind.
I know, I know, he brought it up and I responded in kind. Unfortunately we have another creationist that claims his beliefs are logical but refuses to learn even the basics of science, let alone the basics of evolution.Can we please stop co-opting third graders into the discussion. Make your own arguments. Third graders as a proxy?
Really?
...no true Third Grader (NTS fallacy)
...all Third Graders agree (appeal to authority???)
...you sound like a Third Grader (argumentum ad hominem)
Sheesh!
And to add on to the previous post responding to you, there is no "change of kind". Evolution does not have that. You are still an ape, you are merely a different ape from chimpanzees, bonobos etc.. You are still a primate, you are just a different primate from lemurs, monkeys, etc. You are still a mammal, you are just a different mammal than cows and cats. The list goes on with bigger and bigger groups. When you say "change of kind" you lose the debate.They understand it the same way anyone does. They just disagree that it can account for major changes, like one kind of animal to another kind.
'Nature' and 'reality' are words .. they convey meaning amongst us humans. The meaning of those words amongst objective thinkers, (ie: scientists), has overlaps and differences from the common language meanings. In science (eg: Physics), the meanings are constantly under review. Those meanings depend on physical models corroborated by empirical testing of them.explain please? I'm generally following you, but?
Not recently. You have only made claims. Your Shroud claims were refuted with sources. When it comes to your claims, not so much.I have. The discussions with Lawrence specifically are in willessees book. Remember him? Pictures in teserorieros. Several videos.
It even went on Fox News for an hour!
None of you look at the evidence then you say “ there’s no evidence”
As the bible says : “ seek, and ye will find” ;-)
Cute phrases like: 'Faith as big as a mustard seed can move mountains', are easy to digest for non-thinkers and are the primary reason behind the propagation of pseudoscience, along with the equally nonsense term of: 'alternative facts'. Truisms also fall into that same category.Subduction Zone said:Odd that no mountains have been moved that way.renniks said:Faith as big as a mustard seed can move mountains.
Its taken me a quite a long time to come around to that view (due to my giving benefit of the doubt to those who throw around the term without stopping to clarify what they mean when they use it).And you do not seem to understand the concept of evidence.
Of course there is no change of kind.And to add on to the previous post responding to you, there is no "change of kind". Evolution does not have that.

It was. Then quietly forgotten. Like many others.
Atheists don’t want the truth: they want confirmation.
there is nothing woo woo about forensics.
Many qualified pathologists were involved in analysing many phenomena.
[SNIP]
nothing woo woo. Just good forensics.
Like most atheists your faith won’t let you look at it objectively.
I loved his fantasy novels... and they aren't all for teens. Did you even read the space trilogy? And he wrote a lot more than fantasy.
Actually, I think Chesterton, one of the other writers in Lewis' circle of friends, said it best when he said the Materialist,( by which he meant the one believing in only a material universe,) was a very narrow-minded person, much more narrow-minded than the theist.
I only read a chunk of the Lion & the closet one that was part of our 6th grade lit. reader. I thought it was dreadful, but then, i don't care for fantasy.
Lol, " you just don't understand. " That's all you know how to say. You understand nothing.Nope, it is classic God of the Gaps. Your argument amounts to "I do not understand how this could have happened naturally, therefore God did it!"
You do not understand evolution, you do not understand abiogenesis, you do not understand the Big Bang. The problem with the God of the Gaps argument that you use is when others understand something that you do not it makes God look less and less likely as an answer to anything.
You should read his "mere Christianity."
It's very telling that firstly you don't know the supposed evidence linking physics to evidence for theology; and secondly that the author has published "a book or two" rather than a series of peer reviewed papers that have changed all physics forever.Pretty sure he has a book or two. I haven't read them.
Here. Just watch "An Atheist Reads" chapter by chapter take down of Mere Christianity.Dull title. What's it about?
Are you sure?Odd that no mountains have been moved that way.
