When is an ounce greater than a ton?

The point is that God knows the end from the beginning. That is a contradiction to evolutionary theory. At least Stephen Joy Gould's version of the theory. He believed that if you were to start all over again at the beginning you would get totally different results. If you look at Evo Devo then they believe that evolution follows universal laws. So you can go anywhere in the universe and you will pretty much end up with the same results.

Gould also contradicted his fellow Harvard professor with the discussion of punctuated equilibrium vs gradualism. Maybe that is why Gould died early and is no longer with us because of the lack of harmony that he seemed to exhibit. While his co-author is still with us.

Also, by maths, you cannot fold an object that has the mass of a ton in to an object that has the mass of an ounce. It's impossible. It will still weight a ton.
The video showed a sandwich structure, with an origami folded middle layer, weighing an ounce, supporting one wheel of a Mercedes car, a weight said to be equivalent to one ton.

You appear to have posted a response unrelated to the post you quoted (again). If not, care to explain what that has to do with origami folding and/or micro-macro evolution? That's two non-sequiturs in succession...

Yeah but you can't lower the weight of an object by folding it. That's what I thought Josh's title was about. It's not my fault his threads don't make any sense.

OK; yes, his posts seem confused.
I am pointing out the contradictions in evolutionary theory and showing that the math simply does not add up. The evolutionists that reject Creationism simply can not accept the weakness in their theory. This is why very very few people go along with atheism. "atheists made up 3.1% and agnostics made up 4% of the U.S. population". wiki According to gallop polls: "About nine in 10 Americans say they believe in God"

And the Christians who believe in Creationism only make up about 4% of Christians worldwide. Is that a coincidence or what?

Belief in a god has zero to do with the evidence for evolution.

I must have missed that post - please quote it, link to it, or give the post number.

Atheism and accepting evolution are not directly related. Plenty of theists - probably the majority - accept evolution.

Here in the UK, according to Gallup (2015) we have only about 34% claiming to be religious (64% claim not to be religious). So what?

UK is not an example that anyone uses to follow.
I should hope not; what I meant was what was the point of your posting the sad statistics on religious belief in the US? are you suggesting that the US is an example other countries want to follow? :confused:

Yes exactly under Trump. That is why all the people with reprobate minds are protesting. This is getting political now.

Does anyone have anything at all to say about the Nova program? The link for that should be working now.

It's not my fault today. My wife is off work today and the kids are out of school so somehow we got scammed into letting a bunch of kids run around the house today.

That has literally no relation to the fact that this thread you created, as with many others you've created, do not make sense.

The question I am asking for the third time is: IF there are a number of solutions yet only ONE CORRECT solution then how can we use evolutionary theory to find the correct solution. In this case we are looking for a protein that can be used to cure aids and other viruses. How can evolution theory be used to build a protein to plug into or bond with the virus to render it inactive and unable to reproduce?
As far as I can see this is the first time you have asked this.

I think one should take responsibility for what one posts. But blaming a bunch of kids running around for your posts not making sense... really?

I made some comments, but your responses weren't pertinent or cogent...

But maybe you could answer my previous question and quote, link, or give the post number for where you, "pointed out the contradictions in evolutionary theory and showed that the math simply does not add up" ?
