Go take a high school logic class, then you might be worth debating.

Speaking of logic, and your willingness to imply yourself overloaded with it......

How's that Miracle of Life thing going.

Making any progress?

You debate like a 6 year old.

Like I've said, once you've completed a high school level logic class it might be worth having a discussion with you.

Team finds over 30 strains of C-19, and they do not kill equally.

Li's team found that some of the most aggressive strains of the virus were able to generate 270 times the viral load as the weakest strains; in addition, the aggressive strains killed the human cells fastest.

More than 30 different mutations of the virus were detected, of which 19 were previously undiscovered.

The novel coronavirus has mutated into at least 30 different genetic variations, according to a new study in China.

The results showed that medical officials have vastly underestimated the overall ability of the virus to mutate, in finding that different strains have affected different parts of the world, leading to potential difficulties in finding an overall cure.

The study, which was carried out by professor Li Lanjuan and colleagues from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, was published in a non-peer reviewed paper released on Sunday.

The researchers analyzed the strains from 11 randomly chosen coronavirus patients from Hangzhou, where there have been 1,264 reported cases, and then tested how efficiently they could infect and kill cells. China's coronavirus numbers, however, have been questioned, as they have not been verified.

More than 30 different mutations of the virus were detected, of which 19 were previously undiscovered.

“Sars-CoV-2 has acquired mutations capable of substantially changing its pathogenicity,” Li wrote in the paper.

As of Tuesday afternoon, COVID-19 has infected more than 804,000 people in the United States and killed at least 43,200. More than 4 million tests have been conducted in the U.S., but experts believe that number must be increased in order to reopen society. Worldwide, there are at least 2.5 million cases of the disease.

Li's team found that some of the most aggressive strains of the virus were able to generate 270 times the viral load as the weakest strains; in addition, the aggressive strains killed the human cells fastest.

According to their findings, the "true diversity" of the viral strains is underappreciated and must be understood in order to find a treatment or vaccine.

"Drug and vaccine development, while urgent, need to take the impact of these accumulating mutations, especially the founding mutations, into account to avoid potential pitfall," the authors wrote.

There is no debate to be had. Without God, there is no Life.

It really is that simple, which is shocking that such an enlightened individual such as yourself can not even begin to grasp it.

You have no argument to bring to this table, you are irrelevant.

While I have participated in some of these discussions peripherally, and occasionally when approached/addressed directly...

I do not understand why some would continue to directly engage when the other party has seen or heard HIS voice, and then overtly, directly, without equivocation, state that it was not there or was false, and HE does not exist...

JMHO

There are those here who have made it crystal clear that they still would NOT become a Christian even if they KNEW for a fact and without a doubt that Christianity was true (which proves that their position has ZERO to do with truth and logic and reason and science and evidence). Their position is clearly a matter of the heart.

Abiogenesis requires proper initial conditions, chemistry, and time, a lot of time. 4.5 billion years is a long time, over 1.6 trillion days.

For you, that's seems to be more than you can comprehend, so you substitute something you can understand, a magical being. You chose the Christian God, but the Magical Flying Spaghettis Monster has just as much explanatory power as your god, or pixies, unicorns, a magical inter-dimensional ham sandwich, any other creation myth for that matter.

I think the easiest way to dispel young earth creationism is rock layers. There are rock layers even on the highest mountains. How'd they get there? Dirt and mud flow off high areas and dump onto low-lying areas. So if the earth was only 6000 years old a great flood would not put layers on mountains.

Since there are layers on high mountains that proves mountains were at one time low-lying plains. There was once a sea where the Rocky Mountains are.

Every spot on Earth was once low lying. Every spot on Earth was once high elevation.

This is incontrovertible proof to anyone willing to think.

Some people are seemingly concerned about discrepancies in the New Testament manuscripts. For example, the eyewitness details: one document says there was one angel at the tomb; another document says there were two angels at the tomb. Another document says such-and-such a person got to the tomb first, and another document implies that other people got to the tomb first.

These kind of minor differences are exactly what we should expect from eyewitness details. Any judge that has two or more eyewitnesses that come into his courtroom and give word-for-word testimony exactly about what happened…especially all of the minor details…is going to immediately assume that these eyewitnesses are in collusion. And they would be. Because eyewitnesses agree on the major event. Jesus was resurrected. They may disagree over the minor details.

When the Titanic sank in 1912, some of the eyewitnesses said the Titanic went down while; others eyewitnesses said it broke in half before it went down. Does one conclude the Titanic didn’t sink because the eyewitnesses disagree…? No. They all agree that the Titanic sank. They agree on the major event, even though they may disagree over the minor details.

The same thing is true about Jesus’ resurrection. The eyewitnesses may disagree about how many angels were there, or who got to the tomb first. But they all agree that Jesus was resurrected. And that’s the main point about Christianity. There was a resurrection and that’s what ALL of the eyewitnesses say.

They keep lobbing slow-pitched softballs. What are we supposed to do…?
