Let's see if we can figure this out about the old Piltdown Man

[Wildswanderer]

What Jesus says is hearsay. What the apostles have to say is also unknown.
Where can we find the words of these apostles, anyway?

In the New testament.

Surely you could not argue against an Omnipotent, Omniscience superbeing having to reuse the same cheesy body plan for critters as disparate as giraffes and mice?
Or the same superbeing not being able to figure out that the first Man might want 'an helpmeet' that sort of looked like him as opposed to all of the beasts that the superbeing had also made (male and female, apparently)?

Well, they didn't say Omni imaginative.

Was wondering if you were going to come back with that. Actually I made a thread that dealt with that here:
The Genesis Account

Here is a copy and paste of it:

That might pass for a high school essay.
Homeschool.
Maybe a religious school.

Was that supposed to impress people with graduate degrees in various relevant sciences who have done actual research and have decades of experience?

I'm sure you thought it would.
Creationist types are pretty delusional and suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

 

[Wildswanderer]

Prove it.

Science doesn't prove anything... yet you accept it. Strange that you require proof for God.

Whatever else those evolutionists say, they can't explain how the fabled Florida Man came to be, so I reject their hogwash theories.

 

[tas8831]

Science doesn't prove anything... yet you accept it. Strange that you require proof for God.

Strange that the only support you can put forth for God is plagiarism and empty assertions.

Ok. Demonstrate that I can believe that some God at any time I choose to.

Maybe the missing link that some expect is not there at all. Maybe some bonobo chimp had a human (or almost human) baby, due to genetic mutation, and unlike most mutations, it turned out to be beneficial, so it survived, and eventually dominated?

It seems that there is a sudden transition from the full set of chromosomes to the partial set of chromosomes of humans in the fossil record.

Clarify? Referring to human chromosome 2?

 

[tas8831]

Yes, science caught the fraud.

Really? Not pastors or priests or preachers?

 

[tas8831]

Well, the dinosaurs did go extinct, and there was a lot of meat on them.

Noah should have opened the first KFD (Kentucky Fried Dinosaurs).

 

[tas8831]

I really would like to see how people react to this. It was basically taught and accepted as true until further examination was done decades later, exposing it as untrue and a fraud. Many things regarding evolution are widely heralded and accepted as true, then conclusions sometimes change upon further discoveries or investigations.

So you went to high school in the 1930s?

Or are you just having a hard time keeping your fibs straight?

 

[SkepticThinker]

Oh what a closed mind you have!

Closed mind? I've read the gospels, as you've claimed I should. I've read the entire Bible as you've claimed I should. Where's the part where my mind is closed?

You said you "see God talking." I asked you where (an indication that my mind is not closed), and you said read the gospels. Well, I've already done that. I keep asking you for evidence, which again, is an indication that my mind is not closed, and again, you come up short. It's not my fault you can't provide any demonstration of your claims.

 

[ppp]

Read the gospels with an open mind, that would be a good start.

Btw, the first few times that I read the entire Bible (not just the Gospels) it was with the belief that the whole thing was true. It wasn't till my third or fourth time through that I began to see the cracks.

 

[Valjean]

Oh what a closed mind you have!

Can you state a particular point of disagreememt?

 

[Valjean]

In the New testament.

Where in the New testament? The four gospels? They're of unknown authorship.

 

[tas8831]

If they can say what they believe and the public believes them, how is that any different than believing what a preacher says?

When the scientist is proved wrong, he/she admits the error and moves on*. When the Preacher makes an error, they deny they were wrong, and call the doubters blasphemers and such.


*Unless the scientist is aligned with the political right, then they double down because they have a built-in tribe of mouth-breathers that hang on their every word even when the facts are presented to them. E.g., the Demon Sperm doctor, the fools claiming HCQ and Ivermectin cure/prevent Covid, Malone claiming to have invented mRNA vaccines, etc.

 

[Heyo]

God's not required to stoop down and baby talk to you. He's left plenty of evidence everywhere.
If you reject it that's on you.

Yeah, that's why I'm not asking of god to talk to me, I'm asking why everyone it allegedly talks to gets a different story.

 

[tas8831]

I don't buy it. No ape ever built a computer or a car.

That you do not understand taxonomy is not the world's fault.

Whatever happened to "Christian humility"? I guess that went out the window with the Reagan administration.

The cop-out of the desperate and uninformed.

 

[tas8831]

Not the ones about the past that cant be tested. Try testing the big bang. Yet we are still told it's reality and scoffed at if we question it.

What do your questions consist of?

Are they premised on a scientific issue, or just your mere creationism-induced rejection of anything that does not prop up the bronze age tales you think are 100% true?

Had you considered the possibility that "that ain't true becuz JESUS!" DESERVES no more than scoffing?
