  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What is the greatest evidence against the theory of evolution...?

The problem is that after a chimp is taught on whatever, then that is the end of it. It can not be passed along to other chimps.

That is the vital sign of low intelligence.
If you actually bothered to study these things you would be aware that chimpanzees routinely teach their fellows cultural skill such as tool use. You can of course choose to ignore this fact since it would sit uncomfortably with your beliefs.

So thaaaat's how you avoid accidents.
no, but it's an expression of one's sentiments. or is wanting someone to have a good time and be safe somehow wrong or illogical just because those conditions are beyond their influence?

What are some questions that evolution can't answer?

What facts can it not explain?

Comments?

God Bless!

There are none. If there were we would see such evidence published in the appropriate scientific journals describing such evidence. The only opposition to the theory of evolution is based on religious beliefs, special pleading and the misrepresentation of the science involved in ToE. Having said that, I have no problem with anyone not accepting ToE, other than basing that non acceptance of deliberately misrepresented science. Enough said. :oldthumbsup:

1st and 2nd Law of thermodynamics ENERGY CANT BE CREATED(means someone must have created it) and it cant be destroyed(proof that you never die your soul is energy) wax old like a garment entropy things break down evolutions says things get better with time which is false

Even most creationist sites, have told folks to not argue the law of thermodynamics against evolution.

You need to get up with the times.

According to that reasoning, then all life must be dwindling since its origin. The laws of thermodynamics have nothing to do with evolution and everything to do with how we measure and understand heat temperature and their relation to energy and work.

The way Creationists understand 2LoT hurricanes shouldn't be able to form.

The way that most creationists understand 2LoT life itself is impossible. Their arguments are refuted by the very fact that they are alive.

the 1st and 2nd laws say something completely different. These laws deal with heat and heat transfer. They have nothing to do with evolution.

1575 posts, has anyone put forward any evidence against evolution yet? No?

All we have seen is, I don't believe it, I don't want it to be true or I don't understand evolution so it can't be true.

Are you messing with us with these old, long debunked arguments?
1. Energy can actually be created, from matter being converted into it. It just can't come from nothing. BTW, this has nothing to do with evolution whatsoever.
2. The thermodynamics issue would only matter if our planet was a closed system. It isn't, we are constantly getting bombarded with energy from the sun.
3. Evolutionary theory is about how populations change over time in response to environmental changes, as a result of natural selection pressures and mutations, etc. It makes no statement that anything is getting "better", just that organisms across generations inherit traits passed down from those in the population with the most reproductive success. In that way, an Olympic gold medal winner that lives to be 100 and has no children is considered less evolutionarily "fit" than a person with Parkinson's that dies in their 50s and has 5 kids before that point. Survival of the "fittest" is more like "survival of the most promiscuous".
4. There is no evidence for the soul, and even if we did have them and they were made out of energy, energy can and does dissipate and change form, so that wouldn't make souls immortal any more than the preservation of matter makes our physical bodies immortal. You can thank that same law of thermodynamics you incorrectly use to try to disprove evolution for that.
5. What's going on with your grammar? I can barely read what you posted.

You have been told untruths by people who also do not know they are untruths.

"It can't be done, so someone must have done it."

Wow, just wow.
