Why are we here?

[juvenissun]

Think about what?

Think about the validity of evolution.

 

[juvenissun]

What arguments?

What was the topic I talked to you last time?

 

[pitabread]

Think about the validity of evolution.

Okay. It's valid.

Now what?

 

[pitabread]

What was the topic I talked to you last time?

Answering a question with a question is not an answer.

What arguments are you talking about?

 

[Aman777]

I've noticed that for a lot of creationists, this whole thing comes down to waiting for the world to end.

Correction: Waiting for the present world (valley of the shadow of death) to end. Jesus tells us that He is going to rule and reign here for a thousand years. I believe much of that time will be spent collecting the other life which came forth from liquid water when God commanded life to be created. Genesis 1:20 We will finally go where no man has gone before. Amen?

That's nice.

The burden is yours, not mine.

 

[juvenissun]

Okay. It's valid.

Now what?

You are finished.

 

[pitabread]

The burden is yours, not mine.

I don't think you understand how discussions work.

 

[pitabread]

You are finished.

Okey-dokey then.

 

[The IbanezerScrooge]

I'm here because I am interested in understanding the thinking of those who deny the evidence of their own eyes with regard to how we evolved. Also, with the distant hope of changing a mind and opening an eye or 2.

 

[GlabrousDory4]

To make evolutionist think agin.

It's good to have an aspirational goal.

It's good to have an aspirational goal.

I have met many like you here. Can not continue on science discussion and run away.

However, before you run away, tell me: how do you define bird?

 

[DogmaHunter]

I still remember the very first question I raised in this forum: Why did we shed our fur (hair) in the process of revolution? So far, I haven't see any good explanation.

Yes, you have a habbit of not seeing the answers posted to your questions.

 

[DogmaHunter]

how do you define bird?

A warm blooded vertebrate with feathers and wings that reproduces by laying hard shelled eggs.

So, feathered flying dinosaurs were cold blooded and were not birds?

Dino's aren't birds.
Birds are a type of dinosaur.

Kind of like "thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs".
​

Dinosaur is a very large group of species, you know. Popular culture tends to only depict them as giant reptiles and alike. But the reality is rather different.

So, feathered flying dinosaurs were cold blooded and were not birds?

What makes you think dinosaurs were necessarily cold-blooded?

But they were what they were. The names we give them, the categories we create to classify them, have no effect on them at all.

 

[juvenissun]

Dino's aren't birds.
Birds are a type of dinosaur.

OK, then could birds also be other types of animals before dinosaurs?

 

[juvenissun]

What makes you think dinosaurs were necessarily cold-blooded?

Good, that is exactly what I want you to say. That makes some dinosaurs more likely to be birds.
