But you didn't invent either the apple tree or the orange tree.I know that if I plant an apple seed I will get an apple tree not an orange tree. It’s the law of sowing and reaping.

All humans are stating the virtual advice.
A human states. A human studies. A group of humans agree best advice.
A human says I compare an ape to a human. Everyone agrees.
I then quote by human identity...agreed ....cells and changed chemical biology from ape body to human body is why a human is not an ape.
Everyone agrees. Status stated. Group says humans are a better body and consciousness than an ape.
Exact human status. Exact human stated.
Agreed.
The non agreement. How it occurred.
So if the group says status of intelligence is by agreement. Only then does it agree that non agreement is not allowed.
By group consensus who imposed what human correct answers and use of advice meant.
As some humans just like to argue for ego behaviour. Human law was enforced regarding human behaviour. About disassociation by self destructive use of human reasoning.
No. Quite the opposite. Science is an anti-faith methodology.A "religion" takes basic tenets mostly on faith. "Christianity" takes the existence of God largely on faith and "Evolutionists" takes the fossil record and the existence of missing links on faith. They also take "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest" on faith.
This is simply incorrect. Please cite your sources.All experiment and all observation shows all change is sudden.
But there are; and there are. These are numerous, demonstrable and unambiguous.There are no gradual changes in species because there are no gradual changes in environment.
You believe what fits a preïmagined, unevidenced, false scenario.Change in species occurs during these massive changes. It would occur gradually if niches lasted long enough but they do not. Darwin made numerous bad assumptions and he wanted to believe in "survival of the fittest". What other justification was there for the way England treated her colonies and her own citizens? People believe what they want to believe and many modern "scientists" believe what they are paid to believe. Money buys "science"; "Look and See Science".
"Fit" = adapted to local conditions. If there were conditions that favored a short-legged gazelle, such a gazelle would be more fit, and more likely to be reproductively successful and pass its short legs on. If short legs decreased reproductive success, though, the same individual not be less fit.All individuals are fit and have different genes cause by localized bottlenecks that also select for behavior.
This sounds like classical natural selection.Yes and no. Its primary function is to provide a mixture of genes for the off spring. It also helps exclude unhealthy or extremely different individuals who are more likely to pass on "bad" genes.
A woman may be justified in believing in "survival of the fittest" but not biologists.
Will it change at all?No I didn’t say that, but I will say like begets like. A fish will not change into an ape, human or an insect.
In a God scenario you start with nothing and get what we have today. God = magic poofing; something from nothing.Abiogenesis is impossible, to use the ingredients that God created in an experiment is funny. In a Godless scenario you get to start with absolutely nothing and out of that comes what we have today.
There are no facts or proof of abiogenesis
Endless changes won't eventually result in something very different from the prototype?No it doesn’t, a fish has always been a fish, the flesh of a fish doesn’t become the flesh of an ape.
Yes.Never has a bird become anything other than a bird, a fish has always been a fish, same with animals and humans. Science has failed to find any evidence of a this happening, no observable evidence, the only thing science says is billions of years ago such and such happened and who saw this? No one
Has anyone witnessed this change from one species to another since recorded history of man? Nope
So does a 5 year old. Your point is irrelevant.I know that if I plant an apple seed I will get an apple tree not an orange tree. It’s the law of sowing and reaping.
That Christians happened to have won this award does not mean or imply their religion influenced the work that led to the achievement. How about Hindu award winners? Muslim award winners? Atheist award winners? How many are men, does that suggest they are superior to women? If there were no other winners other than Christians, that might be something. But it isn't.
Obviously someone with a 5 year old intellect is smarter than those pushing abiogenesis and evolution. When have you ever in your wildest imagination believe if a dog had puppies for example that eventually one of them would be a fish, ape, fly or a bird?So does a 5 year old. Your point is irrelevant.
I guess you were not being truthful when you said you know something experts in biology don't know.
Abiogenesis is impossible, to use the ingredients that God created in an experiment is funny. In a Godless scenario you get to start with absolutely nothing and out of that comes what we have today.

That's exactly why you picked the Nobel Prize and not local 5K race wins.What?! Why you think I was suggesting anyone was 'superior' to anyone because they won the Nobel prize?
Due to expertise in some area of science or politics or art or social activism, etc., not because they were religious.I was merely pointing out that science will accept the ideas of religious people if the idea has merit and validity.
Potentially? So you're guessing? You don't know?I then included an example which at least purport the work of such individuals was potentially influenced by the religion they practice.
Once you're over 15 it gets pretty damn difficult.It's not difficult to use the super-computers we carry around in our pockets all day, assuming you're not a luddite.
What was your point, again?Ask it to answer your questions about who is inferior or superior. Ask it why the Wiki's focus was on Christianity if that's your concern. It took me all of ninety seconds to find the wiki page I shared, there were other articles, though I found them to be very one-sided opinion pieces by Christians who refused to accept the scientific method or peer reviewed rejection. I have faith you can accomplish the same or a greater level of research, if you wish to.
If a Dino was a bird it was a Dino bird.So, I'm guessing you refute the idea that our current aviary species are the evolutionary result of the dinosaurs that managed to survive through the event that decimated their numbers?
science won't allow religious ideas to influence results.
That's exactly why you picked the Nobel Prize and not local 5K race wins.

So its those with 5 year old intellects who are most wedded to the simplistic ideas of creationism, and the more mature and educated who favor science?Obviously someone with a 5 year old intellect is smarter than those pushing abiogenesis and evolution. When have you ever in your wildest imagination believe if a dog had puppies for example that eventually one of them would be a fish, ape, fly or a bird?
I find it realy sad that you have this authorative attitude that you can continue to bash, mock, and belittle any person with a Creationist view!Yup... They never seem to think their mike-dropping fantasy arguments through very well.
It's not difficult at this point to understand. What I have found is that there are artifacts such as fossils, and when examined scientists may say, "You see, this shows that dinosaurs lived a long time ago." And they may alsoi say, "OK, birds evolved from dinosaurs." BecaurThere is evidence to support evolution. Sorry.
Evidence supports theories and is explained by them, but no evidence is offered as proof of any theory in science.
I fail to understand why this is so difficult to understand.
No, more. But things in the evolution world keep changing their concepts and precepts, based on new discoveries or ways of considering factors. So -- what the textbooks say can be old hat soon enough. And to think I had to have the right answers when I was in school, which I did, although I was not a "science" major, although I am not against research on a pracrtical level, but I had to take science courses and as I said, I was on the honor roll plus.Only one old biology book???
Most believers in the ToE believe in science and the fact-based, tested conclusions of the various scientific disciplines.
Most believers in evolution also believe in abiogenesis -- but not as a part of the ToE.
