I do take more care writing academic papers then in responding to time-wasting atheists, yes. Ocassionally, I err and make a careful, well-thought argument at RF to have them reply with typical stupidity and anger.
We need only one: "We were made in God's image" and then a scientific question's response: WHEN IS A HUMAN MADE?
A BLASTOCYST is the same as a baby or an adult!
I'm curious about your statement, "We don't have the information to calculate the probabilities in the evolution of eyes."
I'm just sharing with you my thought process here:
Although a single mutation may have a large effect, we know from many studies the odds of genetic mutations and we have...
I did already, if the odds of a simple eye developing across a species over 400,000 years (a recent paper elucidated the time and steps) as happening once among 10 million species, the odds of this occuring in 30 different descent lines is 10,000,000^30 which is an immense number.
You are demonstrating biology knowledge (and frustration) but not math.
I'm asking you to understand that 30 different lines of eye evolution = odds of eye development ^ 30, that's even before I find the eye irreducibly complex, as it must attach to nerve and brain systems.
There have been several notable court and other battles over IC.
Eliminating IC in several arenas doesn't affect the issues of IC in countless other arenas.
I saw some of the work on intermediates. I'd like you to address my question as to the evolution of an arch that is irreducibly complex. That's what an arch structure is.
I'm not asking about the evidence supporting independent evolution in eyes, I'm asking about the statistical likelihood of...
*How is it that you have determined the irreducible complexity of the arch in human feet?*
An arch falls without all of its components in place, and another key indicator--there are no transitory fossils between my arched foot and the flat foot of other apes.
It is thought that the simple...
I am aware of the typical arguments. These I've not heard addressed:
Since I have an arched foot with 26 bones in it--and an arch structure is irreducibly complex (the arch falls without each component within) and there are no transitory fossils between my arched foot and the flat foot of other...
Sample questions:
Since I have an arched foot with 26 bones in it--and an arch structure is irreducibly complex (the arch falls without each component within) and there are no transitory fossils between my arched foot and the flat foot of other apes--what is the statistical likelihood that the...
They cannot in a logical way, since, for example, the Qur'an specifically says Jesus is a prophet, not God, and the Bible says Jesus is God, King and Savior, and that anyone trusting Jesus for eternal life, has it.
I understand well. It is thought that evoution can account for overcoming all sorts of odds, for example, the necessity for a simple eye to evolve in 400,000 years or so--while also juggling multiple systems that attach the eye to perception and the mind, reverse images to correct them, adjust...
Your first sentence is wrong, I never said faith and evidence are the same things. You ought to try to understand before seeking to be understood.
Again, the actual Bible quotation is that faith--a synonym for TRUST--is based in evidence.
I have good reasons to trust my spouse, my children, my...
