Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So, which of the 6 theories of Evolution do you unbelievers believe in?

Some say the reason Bible has ghostwriters and
parables is to limit who can be part of a ritualistic
mystery religion called Christianity.

Early Christians practiced their religion like
exclusive members of the Mithras cult did.




Mortal parents will try stop their youngsters from
runing out on a busy road and getting hurt,
the God you speak of allows them to get run down.




4 and 5 yr olds can read and play the classical
masters like Chopin, Mozart, etc

Folks like you would keep them dumbed down
to your level.

You are wrong again. I have never mentioned “hypothesis” in this thread. Because evolution theory is supported by all that evidence that has been beat to death on these pages. I suppose it could be said that Darwin started out with a hypotheses on how everything evolved before he set sail to gather his data...

Not you.

I know you understand the difference.

Ray either doesn't know the difference, or, is dishonestly conflating theory with hypothesis.

I see no good evidence to believe in the existence of the god you claim, nor do I worship it. If you wish to claim he's my god as well, first you need to present sufficient evidence for his existence.

Additionally, of course your portrail of your alleged god is that of a trickster, one who makes the world appear billions of years old, when you claim it's only a few thousand for the sole purpose of tricking people into not believing he's real so he can send them to Hell where they will burn forever, and infinite punishment for the finite crime of following evidence to it's logical conclusion.

Are you too dense to understand the concept of a common ancestor?

Do you intentionally mislead your children about the nature of the world? If you claim your god made the universe young but made it to look old by putting dinosaur bones in the ground, misleading radiometric readings, and light that appears to have traveled 13 billion years in a 4k year old Universe that's exactly what he'd doing. Not telling your children everything is not the same as lying to them, or intentionally misleading them so you can torture them FOREVER.

Speaking of which, have you built a torture chamber in your basement and do you use it to torture your children when they misbehave? When's the last time you tricked your children into misbehaving so you could take them down stairs and burn them?

How about adult age Christian belief delusions..
should anyone capitulate to them?

The stuff christians believe, ranks with kids
believing there's a Santa who has flying Reindeer
and slay and that he reads every kids letter.

None of the hypothesis presented in the video are representative of the actual Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.

Did you read the article before you came to that conclusion?

There's also those children and infants who have cancer - doesn't look like godly love to me.

Scientists don't agree. Evolution has withstood testing for over a hundred and fifty years. Theory lies in explaining how it works, not that it does work, which is proven.

Or you can believe the facts. There was one creation event. The almost 2,000 years later there was a World Wide Flood which produced the fossils and the single ice age. Same evidence different interpretation.

Perhaps.

And perhaps you maintain that approach in an attempt to distract from the fact that your opinion about human evolution is purely subjective.

It doesn’t matter. You have no proven theory in a practice that requires one. I have faith in a practice in which that is all that’s required.

Game. Set. Match.

Finally a believer who admits to lack of evidence and proof of the documentation of their faith - thank you. Other believers have foolishly argued otherwise, and failed dismally.

(You're still completely wrong about your view of evolution theory by the way.)

You have "Faith", which is not evidence. If you had evidence you would present it instead of making a faith based claim, and you claim I don't have a theory when you don't even know the meaning of the word and it's application in Science.

Heck, you can't even find the court, let alone win a game.

Let me help you out a bit, as described in the following article, you are stuck in Elementary School:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/15-answers-to-creationist/

Many people learned in elementary school that a theory falls in the middle of a hierarchy of certainty—above a mere hypothesis but below a law. Scientists do not use the terms that way, however. According to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a scientific theory is “a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.” No amount of validation changes a theory into a law, which is a descriptive generalization about nature. So when scientists talk about the theory of evolution—or the atomic theory or the theory of relativity, for that matter—they are not expressing reservations about its truth.

In addition to the theory of evolution, meaning the idea of descent with modification, one may also speak of the fact of evolution. The NAS defines a fact as “an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed and for all practical purposes is accepted as ‘true.’” The fossil record and abundant other evidence testify that organisms have evolved through time. Although no one observed those transformations, the indirect evidence is clear, unambiguous and compelling.

All sciences frequently rely on indirect evidence. Physicists cannot see subatomic particles directly, for instance, so they verify their existence by watching for telltale tracks that the particles leave in cloud chambers. The absence of direct observation does not make physicists' conclusions less certain.

The evidence does not support a recent creation event or a worldwide deluge as described in the bible, quite the opposite.

'Tough love'..?

Adam and Eve had to fail, God could not accept
another outcome, for it was pre-ordained that
JC was to be sacrificed.

If Adam's choice was true free will, God would
be gambling that Adam will make the choice
that aligns with God's plan.

The "All Mighty" creator of the Universe who required blood magic and a human sacrifice to cast his spell of forgiveness, for a sin he arranged to be committed by two people how at the time did not know the difference between good and evil.

So, according to Christian beliefs, God literally set up two of his children to fail so he would have an excuse to torture and kill another....

You've demonstrated time and time again how you don't understand the proper scientific usage of term and provided a link describing your usage as an elementary school level of understanding. If you wish to demon state that you understand and can use these in the modern scientific sense, that would would be beneficial to the conversation. While you're at it, how about you demonstrate your understanding of the null hypothesis and the burden of proof.

Uh-huh. Soooooooo.....you don’t have an LCA and don’t need one. Got it. Science ain’t what it used to be.
