[quote who="Juggernaut10" reply="4" id="2209749"]Yeah, like with the Constitution. Where would the country be now if we had listened to the strict constructionists and done only what the constitution said? There have already been things basically proven by science that don't exactly fit in with the Bible, and Christianity hasn't fallen apart. Also, who says they can't be militarily inclined like us and not have killed themselves? It's called MAD, it was demonstrated here just a few

[quote who="Moosetek13" reply="7" id="2168818"]What many Christians state, does not always hold true to the Bible - obviously, like in this case. And I might mention that not everything revolves around our sun, either, as you just stated. Is that an example of comparative ignorance? The planets in this solar system revolve around our sun. But, the sun also revolves in and around our galaxy, and our galaxy revolves in and around our universe. And one might ask, is there yet (at leas

Reply to What Evolution Is And Isn't in Biology JoeUser Forums

I have no problem with this. I do have a problem with common descent, which when I went through High School was referred to as "Evolution". Sorry, that's what they called it, and it's usually what is brought up in discussions to try and disprove what we believe. While I do understand their thought process it is something that they cannot prove or disprove.

Daiwa, as you might have noticed this site isn't all that easy to try and search for information on. If you're willing to provide more information, go for it, I'm all ears. However just saying that our logic is stupid rather than explaining is insulting and definately isn't a way to get someone to want to listen to what you have to say. I give you and everyone else in this thread the respect of explaining my point of view calmly and rationally. I would appreciate the same respect in return.</

[quote who="Nephilim_X" reply="14" id="2200342"] Taking away guns and trying to convince your children that guns don't exist won't stop the violence in the United States. If someone can't shoot you with a gun they will shoot you with a knife, if you take away the knife they will shoot you with a truncheon, and so on until people are being shot in the streets with pillows and kittens.

[quote who="SlyDrivel" reply="2" id="2198387"] So, because life exists we've gained more than we've lost? Yeah, totally. Assuming that we had to gain in order to achieve life in the first place, if we had subsequently lost more than was gained, we would have negative life. I'm figuring you agree with the theory of evolution at this point, since you think at least something can be gained. +1 species +1 species -1 species - 1 species - 1 species = -1 species. This i

(The Endangered Species Act uses this.) Suddenly . domestic cats and taiwanese leopards are the same species. If you define a species by how things look, many domestic cats are different species. We actually made these things look different ourselves, and this is technically evolution by artifical selection (artific

[quote who="SlyDrivel" reply="25" id="2190986"] But evolution does occur as changes in allele frequency in a population. This has been observed. Google it. And if a species can't even really be defined, then that's pretty much all evolution is. To say that because evoltionary biologists are no smarter than normal people and can't figure out the timeline means the whole theory of evolution is wrong, however, does not make sense.

[quote who="Leauki" reply="12" id="2189925"] Atheism isn't a religion. It's merely ONE belief. There are several atheist religions, including Confucianism and some forms of Buddhism. To say that atheism is a "religion" is tantamount to saying that all atheist religions are the same. They are not.

Okay, you misread what I said. Facts are facts, they can be proven they can show evidence for them, they are always true. Religions are based off of beliefs, beliefs are not founded on facts they are based off of what cannot be proven, if it is proven it is therefore a fact. Disbelief is when you do not believe in either another belief or a fact.

Sorry, misread what you said. But it's the same for all religions, that's part of what makes them a religion, belief in the unseen or unexplained. If it was seen and explained then it's fact, not religion.

The main problem that I have always had with evolution is rather simple and is something that I've heard from scientists as well. (Sorry, no I don't have a quote and I don't feel like spending hours searching for something that I heard over ten years ago.) The biggest problem with evolution as a science is genetics. How our genes work is set to weed out mutations. Meaning that only healthy DNA will be passed on to the next generation (also known as Survival of the Fittest by most). Now, I kno
