I am well aware of Isaiah you quote.

GOD CAN HAVE IT ANY WAY HE LIKES,.. RIGHT?

So it didnt have to be that narrative, unless God
wanted it that way ie: it was not compulsory.

He could easily have totally canned lucifer
Thus sparing his son and Adam and Eve
and mankind from such interelated fates.

Debunked huh...

Satire versus Princeton...

Jag versus scientific community

There's the mention of 'fools' again. Must be feature of being Christian to call anyone who dares question the faith a 'fool'

As for the quote....it is the bible that describes the things that God values, thou shall not kill, etc, and it is the Bible that describes God doing the very same things, killing and tormenting people for no real reason.

Apparently, as simple as it is, that is an inconvenient truth. Maybe truth is only for 'fools.'

Fool is the term God uses for those that don't believe. It fits pretty well too. If you have a problem with it take it up with Him. Since God spoke the universe and life into existence, He can make the rules.

Maybe not ten off the top of my head, but here are a few.

All humans were once lactose intolerant. At several different places, several different mutations (new genes) have occurred. Each of which gave a specific population of humans the ability to consume milk into adulthood, and gave that population a distinct edge in competition for survival.

Further back in history, another mutation occurred in a gene which caused growth in a specific lobe of the brain responsible for verbal communication, and coincided with language development in the species.

And even further back in history, a prior mutation occurred which gave growth to a different lobe of the brain which controls artistic expression and coincided with the appearance of cave paintings.

Sounds like a line Obama or Hillary would use to shame all of us deplorables. "Don't even try to understand. My ways are beyond your comprehension. Trust me, I do all of this for your own good"
ETA to correct quote name

So, how long you figure until they find the missing link. And dont be bringing up Obama.

Rich, I think the rhea, the ostrich, the cassowary, the emu, heck even the dodo disprove such thought.

Nobody can take it up with him, he hides himself so well that it's like he doesn't exist at all. Meanwhile it's Christians like you that calls anyone who dares to question a fool as a means of defense. It has nothing to do with God.

Grin, that is funny!

Missing link?

Many, many missing links have been found. Every few years another missing link is found.

Each discovery brings the puzzle closer to completion, though many pieces are yet to be found.

No intelligent person would claim the fields of archeology or anthropology to be complete yet. But we are a heck of a lot closer than we were 100 years ago.

Christians dont even believe other christians
They play a constant game of oneupmanship
Thinking that their own personal imagination
as being superior.

This captures them perfectly...

True.

laffin’

Every time they find one, your sort asks where the missing link between that one and modern man is. It's an unwinnable game by those rules.

This oviraptor was unable to fly but used its "half wings" to protect a larger clutch of eggs than would be possible with smaller wings increasing its reproductive success.

Ostriches use their "half wings" to protect their chicks from heat stroke as well as enabling them to cover a larger clutch of eggs or young in a nest.

Some years ago the University of Montana Zoology Department filmed experiments with immature grouse that were not yet able to fly (they had "half wings"). The grouse were chased up a steeply inclined sheet of plywood. When their "half wings" were bound to their sides they made little progress ascending the plywood. Freed from bindings, flapping their "half wings" while running enabled them to ascent the plywood with alacrity. Obviously their "half wings" would increase their chances of escaping from predators. Unfortunately I was unable to find a copy of this video.

When I was about 8 years old, living in Missoula, we kept a few ducks in a pen in the back yard. The ducks had their flight feathers clipped so they could not fly. Occasionally a duck would escape the pen and with a combination of flapping its"half wings" and running could easily out-distance anyone chasing it. It could only be caught by cornering it somehow.

Ringman, will you now agree that a half wing can confer a benefit on its possessor?

I don't know that I could pick a favorite but here are some to add to those kindly provided by Idaho Shooter;

1 - Apolipoprotein AI-Milano – removes cholesterol from cell walls
2 - Increased bone density
3- Malaria resistance – a variant of hemoglobin, named HbC provided up to 93% resistance
4- Tetrachromatic vision

Ringman, do you just rely on the logical fallacy of False Dichotomy, thinking that flinging poo at the theory of evolution will somehow support you view? If you have positive evidence for any of your claims please be so kind as to present it.

Either Ringman or JTX will be along shortly to tell us that it's a trap set by Lucifer.

Actually, it's worse then that. The also as for the "missing link" between it and the ancestor as well. You didn't find a missing link, you created two more!

Exactly.
