Question for the biblical religious

[Kirkland Laing]

Sorry but there does have to be a mechanism in place. Single celled organisms aren't SIMPLE forms of life. They are still extremely complicated and if they ingest nutrients through their skin, that system had to be in place or they would not survive. The nutrient had to be there, and the method for ingesting and using the nutrient, in addition to the miraculous appearance of life from non living things. The life from non living is hard enough, but the systems to sustain that life also being present and in usable form is beyond coincidence.

Think of a car. If it managed to assemble itself, now it needs gas to operate and the gas came from oil which had to be drilled out of the ground and pumped and refined before it could even be used for fuel. Nutrients are the same way. The food sources had to be present and usable before anything could have evolved.

There are no transitional species. The bird/dinosaur is the only candidate. It's a bird and some people say it's part lizard. Anyway you are mixing micro evolution with macro. There are adaptations within a species. There are not changes from one species to another. The evidence for the adaptations is stretched into proving that because a bird can get a longer beak in a few generations, it can become something entirely different over enough generations. It isn't possible and scientifically it's unproven. However, it's taught as if it's fact. Scientists once taught the world was flat in much the same way. Science has a poor track record and evolution will surely be another blemish on that record.

There doesn't need to have been any mechanism in place before any specific mechanism for anything evolved. Even single-celled organisms spent billions of years evolving.

There are plenty of transitional species, an entire flock of bird/dinosaur examples. If you spend a little time studying the basic outlines of evolutionary theory -- you could spend an entire academic career studying evolution and still not cover everything -- you'll see this.

You're starting to get a basic grasp of the outlines of evolutionary theory but you're still making ridiculous arguments -- scientists never taught that the earth was flat for instance, in fact there was a rather long argument between scientists and the church over basic things like the shape of the earth and whether the earth orbited the sun or vice versa. And I'm not confusing anything, you just don't understand evolutionary theory.

You're taking at face value a bunch of discredited arguments from creationists, a bunch of religious extrmists who insist in the face of all evidence that evolution is nonsense. These people are only found in America and only because they believe as a matter of faith that god formed the earth 3000 years ago so they need to discredit any science that proves their beliefs to be rubbish. The entire rest of the world has accepted evolutionary theory, like they have gravitational theory, electro-magnetic theory, etc.

It still awaits explination "How do you get something from nothing?"


And doesn't science tell us to question everything so by that rational you have to question science itself along with other things like religion or else you just end up with a different form of religion and one that doesn't provide ANY moral values or guidelines.


So when I question this "Man Made Global Warming" I'm doing the right thing....blindly accepting that is no different than blindly accepting any form of religion. Sure you have some stuff that says there MAY BE man made global warming but it's never 100% positive, there is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS a loophole and an acception to what any study finds

Science does tell us to question everything. You can question specific viewpoints and data regarding any scientific subject but this doesn't automatically mean that "science" is questionable. Really Lyle, it's not like you to make a third-grade argument.

Hey brother even evolution is a THEORY and what's a theory

Webster's Dictionary defines a theory as:


1: the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another

2: abstract thought : speculation

3: the general or abstract principles of a body of fact, a science, or an art <music theory>

4 a: a belief, policy, or procedure proposed or followed as the basis of action <her method is based on the theory that all children want to learn> b: an ideal or hypothetical set of facts, principles, or circumstances —often used in the phrase in theory<in theory, we have always advocated freedom for all>

5: a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena <the wave theory of light>

6 a: a hypothesis assumed for the sake of argument or investigation b: an unproved assumption :

So are gravity and electromagnetic theory. That's because, although there's endless evidence to show that our observations and calculations of gravity and electricity are correct, it may be, for instance, that Jesus's tears come down from heaven and invisibly insert themselves in the gravitational/electrical process. Because we can't rule out every possible alternative then gravity and electricity have to remain theories, like evolution.

Lyle, you could spend your entire life studying stuff we already discovered about evolution and still only scratch the surface of our current knowledge. The evidence is vast and overwhelming. Only in parts of America is it even questioned.

Hey Newton has a LAW for gravity....a THEORY is a THEORY might I remind you that there used to be a lot of theories which are now obsolete.

So today's FACT is tomorrow's FICTION in a lot of cases...I'm not saying everything is wrong in science, I am just saying I like to question things

[Kirkland Laing]

You can have laws within theories Lyle.

Interestingly, a guy at MIT has just rewritten part of the quantum field theory. But the whole thing is still only theoretical.

Like I said, the issue on the existence of God will be fully realized by the test of time. For the mean time, I will choose to believe in God rather than on scientific discussions/discoveries/theories which are in themselves still doubtful of validity.

Unless science can fully and exactly explain the order of things on this earth, I am of the conviction that there really is God who manages the complexities of this world.

John 18:37

"...for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."

AL 18:37

"......and all those with their own mind and head not up their ass , dont listen to John or any other of the magical religious control-ism bullshit ".

And there ends my thought for the day.

[El Kabong]

Al had a thought for the day



ALERT THE MEDIA!



Al there's nothing wrong with being spiritual or believing in the Bible or Jesus or whatever religion you want to mention but once organized religion takes over you're in trouble. All Organized religion is The New Roman Empire, The Persian Empire (Shia Muslims), The Arab Empire (Sunni Muslims) and so on and so forth....it's the same thing just in a different more accepted package.

I advocate thinking for yourself and using any scripture to learn about a different more peaceful way of thinking and being.
