Why are there still apes?

Again, that's not what you said. See the first quote. You said experience is faith. That's just wrong and that's not what Hebrews says.

I said more than that. Do you rely on experience for evidence?

 

[Tinker Grey]

I said more than that. Do you rely on experience for evidence?

Almost exclusively. (I don't care for the wording. I evaluate things that I experience through my sense against prior experiences to determine what if anything this new experience might be evidence for.)

You never answered my question: Whose word do you take?

 

[Tone]

Almost exclusively.

You never answered my question: Whose word do you take?

Who's Word did I post?

 

[Tinker Grey]

Who's Word did I post?

Why not just answer clearly? You posted the word of an anonymous man.

When I was a creationist, it took one trip to the library for me to see for myself the amazing array of evidence for evolution.

School library or college library?

 

[doubtingmerle]

No...you...

Ah, so I stake down a claim that you are wrong, and you stake down a claim that I am wrong.

Since you say staking down a claim with pegs is evidence, therefore we are both wrong.

Either that, or "staking down a claim with pegs" is not good evidence.

 

[doubtingmerle]

School library or college library?

College library--University of Pennsylvania.

Maybe it will help if I explain what the tent is. It is grace!

The tent represents the household... family.

I thought it would be quite clear, since I posted a Bible verse and this being a Christian Forum...

I know you are more familiar with Christian theology than that.

I take the Word of Yah above any else.

 

[AV1611VET]

College library--University of Pennsylvania.

Figures.

Ah, if you stake down grace with pegs, that is evidence.

If you stake down anything else with pegs, that is not evidence.

Why is this not special pleading?

 

[Tone]

And whose word do you take that what you have is the "Word of Yah"?

The same.

 

[doubtingmerle]

Figures.

Huh? You don't trust the library at the University of Pennsylvania?

I also went to the Philadelphia public library. Does that count?

Or would it have been better to look in the kindergarten section of my local library?

If you stake down anything else with pegs, that is not evidence.

Why is this not special pleading?

If you follow through with anything--that is evidence...that is faith.

 

[Tinker Grey]

The same.

How do you know that the "word of Yah" is the "word of Yah"?

(BTW, I edited my previous post. Sorry for the inconvenience.)

Let's see:

What do these three have in common: library at the University of Pennsylvania, public library in Philadelphia, kindergarten section of the local library?

Answer: academia.

The Internet is easier, but if you would rather go to a library, great!

I'm not saying that I have a problem with evolution in general. I'm saying that I have a problem with a select few apes singing around the campfire, and grilling, and whatever the heck the OP was talking about.

And remember, they're known for beating their women over the head with a club, dragging them home by their hair, and having them cook and have children.
