    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    Besides God's original crime in making Mary pregnant out of wedlock and perhaps against her will, He doesn't appear to have had any consideration for Joseph's feelings. If you believe Matthew's story (Matthew 1:18-25), Joseph intended to break off his engagement to Mary, and God had to send an...

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    I would call it witchcraft (and rape).

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    This is not what I was saying. To put it shortly, in my opinion making a woman pregnant against her will by a miracle is as much a crime as actual rape.

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    You are still confusing evolution with reproduction. The birth of Jesus was an act of reproduction, not evolution. Most people, even most Christians, believe that, as gnostic has explained in post 2299, sexual intercourse between a male and a female is a necessary precondition for pregnancy and...

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    You are confusing reproduction with evolution. Individual living things come into existence by a process of reproduction. Evolution is the process of cumulative change over many generations that leads to the origin of new species. The birth of Jesus was an act of reproduction, not of evolution...

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    The arms of spiral galaxies are not solid 'ropes' that can be wound up; they are density waves moving through the discs of the galaxies. Also, the rotation periods of spiral galaxies are hundreds of millions of years, so the existence of spiral arms implies that these galaxies are at least...

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    Comets come from the Kuiper Belt, outside the orbit of Neptune, and from the Oort Cloud, at distances of up to 200,000 AU (1 parsec) - see Kuiper belt - Wikipedia and Oort cloud - Wikipedia and . The Oort cloud contains trillions of objects larger than 1 km in diameter and was probably formed at...

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    I came about by a process of sexual reproduction; so, I suspect, did you, and the Pope. This process is connected with evolution, in the sense of the origin of species, but reproduction and evolution are not the same thing.

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    The 'immaculate conception' and the virgin birth are completely different things. The doctrine of the immaculate conception holds that the virgin Mary was free of original sin from the moment of her conception - Immaculate Conception - Wikipedia . It has nothing to do with the virgin birth of...

    On Evolution & Creation

    You still haven't explained how you went from being an atheist (and implicitly a disbeliever in the Bible) and a person who accepted evolution to being a Biblical fundamentalist who agrees with the unfolding of events in the Genesis account. It certainly wasn't because the Bible explains the...

    On Evolution & Creation

    Before something changed your mind, you accepted evolution. Why did you reject it when your mind changed? It can't have been because Biblical creationism offers a better explanation of genetics, the fossil record, biogeography, or any other biological facts. Whatever the Bible teaches, it is not...

    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    Do you accept that there was a time 12 million years ago (during the Middle Miocene epoch) when the Earth existed, and there was life (including genera of apes that are now extinct) on Earth, but there were no humans or gorillas? If you do accept this, where do you think gorillas and humans came...

    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    If there was as much evidence for the virgin birth of Jesus as there is for evolution, I should believe it.

    On Evolution & Creation

    One of the things that puzzle me is that so many atheists, when converted, go to the opposite extreme and become Biblical literalists and creationists. I should have thought that in a Christian country a detailed study and a considered rejection of the Bible would be necessary for a person to...

    On Evolution & Creation

    Is this what you were taught about evolution at school and college? If so, you ought to ask for your money back. There is a great deal more to palaeontology and the fossil evidence for evolution than this, much more than can be covered in a contribution to an internet forum. If you were...

    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    There are literally thousands of fossils illustrating the evolutionary stages from Devonian sarcopterygian fish through early tetrapods through synapsids, Mesozoic mammals and Paleogene primates to Neogene and Quaternary apes. Try looking at Wikipedia.

    On Evolution & Creation

    When I started studying science, in the late 1950s and 1960s, the books that I borrowed from the library treated Haeckel's theory of recapitulation as at best rather doubtful, and not something to be accepted uncritically. One of my books (Evolution and Its Modern Critics), which was published...

    On Evolution & Creation

    In your opinion, what evidence would verify the theory of evolution? Your attitude reminds me of the words of Abraham to the rich man in Luke 16:31. (Of course, fossils have 'risen from the dead', but you still do not accept evolution.)

    Evolution My ToE

    The method is descent with accumulated small modifications. All modern fish, such as halibut, must be descended from ancestral species of fish that lived during the Devonian period. There must have been a continuous lineage of ancestors and descendants from a species of Devonian fish to a modern...

    On Evolution & Creation

    I have shown you the family tree of apes leading to humans about a dozen times already. Here it is again. At present the most likely last common ancestors of human, chimpanzees and gorillas are Orrorin tugenensis and Sahelanthropus. Far from this last common ancestor being unknown, there are...
