    What does the fossil record say?

    That verse has nothing to do with the subject under discussion, your claim that it was foretold is garbage, just the usual tactic of taking a verse out of context and pretending it has some relevance. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in...

    What does the fossil record say?

    And now you are misrepresenting creationists. Behe does not deny that natural selection exists, just that it cannot explain instances of IC, that requires a "designer". Note that Behe also accepts common descent. In fact all of those people accept that natural selection does exist, they just...

    What does the fossil record say?

    No, your latest source says it does happen. If you are going to use a source you can't ignore the source when he says you are wrong. So every year 1 oyster can give rise to 500 offspring that survive to maturity. That means that their chosen reproductive method is hugely successful according...

    Most high school biology teachers don’t endorse evolution

    There is no constiutiuonal law, but they do teach bacon cooking and rent paying now. And to be accurate its teaching about religion as all major religions are part of the curriculum. Yep, the only people who deny evolution are the ones who don't understand it.

    Morality

    And abortion if the woman has committed adultery, in that case God aborts the baby. Numbers 5:11-31 Thats the biblical outlook, secular societies mainly ban vendatta killings, e.g. The ban on the death penalty in europe.

    Most high school biology teachers don’t endorse evolution

    That's a good argument against creationism, but not evolution which is wholly based on observed reality.

    Evolution: ask your questions here

    Because certain theists feel it contradicts their own literal way of interpreting their holy texts so they label ToE as atheistic. In fact ToE says nothing about the existence of deities, only about how species naturally diversify. This process does not require any intervention by a deity so it...

    Creationist - what is your understanding of TOE?

    She quote-mined Dr Pierre-Paul Grassé, lets be accurate. http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/2348236-post395.html As it seems to have been buried by the silliness of the gateway's posts.

    Creationist - what is your understanding of TOE?

    This should be funny...and it is. Really? Would you like to provide even a scintilla of evidence that real biologists have ever said this in relation to all species? This is mainly true for species with long reproductive cycles where science is lucky to see such instance within human...

    Creationists, please provide evidence

    The existence of humans for 200,000 years is a fact, its been proven. Huge numbers of species that lay eggs do not rear their young. That humans and chicken rear their young is no evidence against evolution as this can also evolve starting from species that do not rear their young and...

    The ERV's found in chimps and human DNA as evidence for evolution

    Oh, look. The same uninformed ignorant claims in multiple threads.

    Creationists, please provide evidence

    Its a stupid question. Chicken is the term for species of bird. Egg is the term for a fertilised or unfertilised ova which used for reproduction by almost all multicellular animals. Mammals, Amphibians and Fish all produce eggs (without any shells). Insects and reptiles produce eggs. Eggs...

    Creationists, please provide evidence

    Humans are not descended from monkeys. We are apes and descended from earlier species of Ape. Jesuits? They guy who believed in creation as per the bible paid Darwin? That claim's just stupid. I think you meant to claim that Darwin said his theory was "not fact" just before he died...

    And heres a lisy of some of the transitional fossils. CC214: Transitional Birds

    What does the fossil record say?

    Completely relevant. Another example of you refusing to admit you lack knowledge. Your claim was: I provided you with multiple examples of just such a practice. You'd like to hear of it but when you do its irrelevant? More goalpost shifting and obfustication. You claimed you were educated...

    freedom of religion

    There is limited freedom. There is true freedom to believe in many countries, however even in those countries there can be limits to certain religious practices, e.g. those that harm others. So if your religion says slavery is ok its still not ok to actually own slaves (as this would breach...

    Evolution, scientific methods, and reason are losing in America's classrooms

    After 1 minute and 7 seconds I can see why he came in for a substantial amount of ridicule. He made claims about antediluvian civilisations, as there was no worldwide biblical flood that makes him a fruitloop. And that ridicule has nothing to do with ToE, its all Physics and Geology.

    What does the fossil record say?

    Because they chose to offer City & Guilds and GCE. If they had decided to offer the International Baccalaureate instead then the papers would have been sent to whichever country housed the relevant markers. Its not England its the exam board. They got the authority when the school decided to...

    What contributes more - science or religion???

    As this letter to the editor states, prayer is one big placebo effect.

    Evolution, scientific methods, and reason are losing in America's classrooms

    But ToE says nothing about out ancient past. Now if you are talking about claims of 500 thousand year old civilisations even then its not really ToE that is being used its physics. All that ToE says about humanity is that we evolved from common ancestors we share with other life on this planet...
