    Creationist article!

    Not good enough, sorry. You'd think a more specific reference would be due an entire Order (given the most recent reclassifying of of the Dinosauria and Aves together as one Class) of vertebrate which existed for 150 million years. Where do the extinct hominids fit into God's message? Or did He...

    Creationist article!

    O.K., if the angel Gabriel told Mohammed a supreme intelligence doesn't have to have a beginning or cause but the mundane natural world does that's good enough for me! Yeah I'm always suspect of the revisionist potential in modern a posteriori translations. So where in the Qur'an can I find...

    What is a 'theory' ?

    Yes and she still can't seem to stay on topic for more than a few threads.

    Big bang theory?

    I didn't assume it was. Interesting stuff that.

    What does the fossil record say?

    And for every person working in a scientific field who rejects evolution how many do you think I can come up with who accept it? You obviously ARE indulging in the fallacy of appeal to authority. When we give creationists examples of evidence it's just that - evidence - do you see us listing...

    Big bang theory?

    The theory that our universe goes through cycles of bangs and crunches, at least as postulated back in the 60s with an eventual slowing down of expansion followed by collapse, has been falsified. In fact the expansion is accelerating. Of course this doesn't negate the possibility the universe...

    Yes such a find would most immediately call into question the atomic dating methods utilized and other cornerstones of evolutionary theory. Then again, since it would uproot so many very strong stable scientific trees I'd have to consider it possible evidence of time travel by future humans...

    What does the fossil record say?

    This is of course the old classic creationist use of the fallacy of appeal to authority Fallacy: Appeal to Authority Intelligence is specific not general, just because a person has succeeded in some specific field doesn't mean their opinions regarding other unrelated fields hold any greater...

    Big bang theory?

    Science has given us a much better idea of how the universe began than humans had previous to the scientific method. Science not only doesn't require faith but has no use for it.

    Big bang theory?

    Polytheist podi-deities?

    Peaceful coexistence between scientists and theologians

    If theologians would cease attempts to challenge science on topics bearing on real material issues there'd be peace. The scientific method is a machine devised to distill facts from the natural world. There's no scientific evidence a "spiritual world" exists for anyone to study to begin with.

    No kiddin', good grief. Amazing your capacity to attend to 'research' you believe supports your position while totally ignorant reams of it it which doesn't. Yes yes we 'got it', you think because alleged scattered and often troubled attempts by early 20th Century soviet scientists to...

    Standard taxonomy can provide genera at the very least to extinct forms assuming evolutionary relationships and common descent. There are sometimes revisions if genetic data becomes available (as with recent neandertal mtDNA samples). Your method completely fails at the task of classifying...

    My point again is since we really don't know the total % difference between horse and donkey genomes we don't know if they comply with part 1 of your criteria but the differences in their chromosomes we do know about are very similar to those between humans and chimps. It's obvious, as someone...

    What does the fossil record say?

    So you were a believer before you even began reading the book? Gee, I wonder which is the biased mind?

    What does the fossil record say?

    Wilsoncole why are you posting the contents of JW pamplets? At least use one on topic one, for example one with drawings illustrating how fossils were placed there by the devil to confuse us.

    Who will win next race

    Positral, but it only exists in an alternate universe.

    Creationists please define Kind

    You didn't answer Autodidact's question, newhope, and you've not addressed how I pointed out the chromosome number differences between horses and donkeys are the same as those between humans and chimps. So if a horse and donkey could produce a mule what's stopping a human and chimp from...

    Creationists, please provide evidence

    Pretty good post up til the ridiculous last line.

    Creationists please define Kind

    I'm not sure what % of genome is shared between donkeys and horses but their differences in chromosome number is the same as between humans and chimps, my guess would be they share close to the same % of genes and wouldn't achieve your 99.9% qualification though they are not only fertile but...
