Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Evolution is a myth? Please explain:

And yet we miss so much. Not long ago an asteroid capable of doing significant damage whizzed by at astronomically close range and we didn't see it coming. Which may be reassuring to those who said they don't want to see it coming on the how do you want to die thread.

I don't reply to unattributed quackdoodles. But for your information, the Veil Nebula (a supernova remnant) is older than that.

Gus,

Lets see your evidence supporting the Alien Bio-engineering hypothesis.

If Jesus believed in the "miracles" of Genesis, he was simply wrong. After all, he never made any claim to understanding science, anthropology, or biology,

Got a link to a reputable source?

How about a link to a peer review article in a real journal such as Nature?

He even preached against washing one's hands before eating, so no, not a sound scientific source.

i'll have to fold under the challenge of the people who want facts.

facts: we are headed Back to the moon. landers on Mars.

preparing for a return to the moon, and maybe a space colony on Mars? don't know yet.

please don't stay couped up in a box, if with an appropriate calf's head, one can break out?

the High Priests at NASA have been head & shoulders above the rest.

If you could cut through the malarkey on this thread, it would be much shorter.

Not to mention that at one time God had many sons. (See the Book of Job).

At first, God spoke to humans in their own language.

Later, God lived atop a high mountain which his followers could see from far away.

Still later, the spirit of God resided in a box made of gopher wood. After the ark was destroyed, God was spoken to inside of a large temple in Jerusalem, where only self-appointed priests could go.

When the Romans destroyed the temple, we evolved the concept of God being everywhere.

Then, after Christianity, Christianity split into many denominations who believe the other denominations are heretics.

We complicate religion with too many useless details and myths. When Rabbi Hillel, 2000 years ago, was asked if he could recite the entire Talmud while standing on one leg, he stood on one leg and said, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. All else is merely commentary."

That's the fallacy of equivocation for you. Ignoring both evidence and the absence of evidence in an attempt to justify a belief that lacks justification to the point of demonstrating the worthlessness of the foundation of religious belief, faith, as a means of sorting fact from fiction.....implying that there is no such thing as factual information or evidence, that all is taken on 'faith' and is therefore of equal value. Which is about an absurd a claim that it is possible to make.

You can see stars in the process of formation, just as you can see stars in the last stages of their life cycles.

Below is W3, deemed to be one of the most active factories of massive stars in our entire galaxy, home to a glob of stellar mass many hundred thousand times the mass of our Sun:

Even worse than there beiing no evidence for the creation events in Genesis, ther is SUBSTANTIAL evidence that they did not and cannot have occurred.

For instance, snakes do not have a Broca's organ, a hyoid bone, or a voice box. Snakes don't talk (to Eve or anyone else).

The earth is proven beyond doubt to be much older than 6,000 years.

There are many "missing links" between ancient life forms, whose lifetimes we can date well, and modern ones, including humans. (Some poster tried to discredit evolution by saying a pig's tooth was mistaken for a hominid. Well, so what? There are many thousands of fossil hominid teeth.)

The rainbow was NOT created by God after Noah's non-existent flood. Rainbows are a natural (and necessary) consequence of electromagnetic radiation (including light). Wihout electromagnetism, there could have been no universe in the first place.

I could go on.

Ringman clings to every straw he can find to pretend evolution did not occur. Why?

He says that just because star formation and evolution take a long time, and we cannot see the process from beginning to end, it cannot happen.

Suppose Ringman went out in the woods for 20 minutes before hunting season to see if there were deer in the area. Suppose he saw deer trails, lots of deer tracks, buck rubs on every other sapling, deer droppings, and smelled deer urine? Would he conclude there were no deer because he hadn't seen any in 20 minutes?

I will ask again. Does Christianity have to be so dumbed down that only those with low intelligence or little education are allowed in?

I don't think that was the original intent.

These things go sideways pretty quickly.
From my perspective Religion is not faith, faith is not something you can force on another , if you are feeling pressured from it , you either are not open at the time or the messanger is false
Nothing explains human consciousness , our ability to examine ourselves . So how did thought begin?
It is a fair question

a very fair question.

if one can't think about god, then what's the issue?

i personally suspect that our ability to examine ourselves didn't come from evolution?

“If a Creator God exists, would He or She or It... prefer a kind of sodden blockhead who worships while understanding nothing? Or would He prefer His votaries to admire the real universe in all its intricacy?Science is, at least in part, informed worship.” Carl

Faith as defined as a belief held without the support of evidence is faith regardless of anyone's perspective.

Thought, as the evidence tells us, is an electrochemical activity of a brain, which can be altered chemically and with the application of current to brain regions....producing fear, love, anxiety, involuntary movements, etc, (Delgado, et al).

" And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,


Did that really happen, too?[/quote]

Get it?

How do you know? What is the dating system you used?

That is an excellent parable (analogy, but I am trying to be more biblical).
