The circular reasoning of Evolution and billions of years believers.

Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
Would you like to expand on that and explain in what way evolution 'in the Darwinian sense' is much more than 'merely "change over time"'?
Here is my expansion on that: in the theory of Darwin, is evolution changes over time? By the way, and, how many times did abiogenesis occur thus presumably enabling 'life' to form and evolve over time?

Your going beyond the areas covered by evolutionary science. Akin to expecting a mechanic to be skilled in drilling for oil.

I'm answering the question. With a question to someone like you who might know. Take care and have a good day. Bye for now.

Rabbits do eat their own feces.so they do chew their food multiple times before they are done with a particular food.
The Bible just used the term in a more general sense.
Cud is a section of food that returns from an animal’s stomach to the mouth to be chewed for the second time. Cud is produced within a digestive process called rumination. Cows deer, sheep, goats, and antelope are some instances of pets or animals that chew their cud.​
When cud-chewing animals eat their food, most of the food is trapped in a special sack within its abdomen. It later regurgitates this stored food, or cud, and commences to chew on it again.​
Care to try again?

Scientists have found amazing details about the digestive processes of hares. For instance, Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, Head Curator, Department of Zoology of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., wrote: “There seems to be no reason to doubt the authenticity of the reports of various workers that rabbits customarily store semi-digested food in the caecum and that this is later reingested and passes a second time through the digestive tract.” He also observed that here is an explanation for “the phenomenally large caecum of rabbits as compared with most other mammals. Definitions of ancient times and today are not always the same, but it has been observed that rabbits redigest some of their food, thus fit the description. @SavedByTheLord also.

How is that an exansion?
You claimed it is and you are asked to clarify.
Your "clarification" is then asking if it is?

wut?

irrelevant to evolution and certainly to the point at hand

Source please.
Of the Dr Waldo Schmitt quote.

I ask because I can only find where JWs quote it in response to the cud chewing rabbit error.

Sorry but rabbits eat their own feces so that is eating the cud in a more general sense and now we find out they do it in another way.
They are super cud chewers.
And you are doubly wrong again.
Can you find any errors at all in the Bible?

Your Hovind Challenges were complete successes.
They were specifically set up so that no one can meet them.
Of course, such a shallow victory is meaningless to most people.
But you fly on home and claim your victory.


Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, went home.
No. You have not proved any error in the Bible.

Please try though.

It's impossible to prove something to somebody who simply refuses to see the blindingly obvious because they have their head firmly in the deep sand of blind faith.

There are endless errors and contradictions in the bible, you were recently pointed to the date of Jesus' birth regarding the census in Luke (who even contradicts himself), see >here<. You just ignored it.

People who rely on blind faith will always find some way to ignore what isn't consistent with it, no matter how obvious it is to everybody else.

The circular reasoning of Evolution and billions of years believers.

All reasoning for evolution and billions of years is circular reasoning and not science.
This is it in a nutshell.
We know evolution and billions of years are true (conclusion is the assumption) and since we know evolution and billions of years are true (conclusion is the assumption) and such and such exists, it must have evolved because we know evolution and billions of years are true (restating the assumption as the conclusion).
Furthermore, any evidence that contradicts evolution and billions of years must be false because we know evolution and billions of years are true. (using the assumption as the proof)
Furthermore, they have no real rational answer to the origin of anything. But they know it must have happened because it must have happened by evolution because they know that evolution and billions of years are true. And they are absolutely sure that the answers will one day be found because they know that evolution and billions of years are true.
Some will even use all debate 101 techniques to keep from answering the questions because they have no real rational answers to the origin of anything. These techniques will include posting links to their “irrefutable” sources, denouncing any 6-day recent creation source as not a real source, even calling them liars. They will also say any evidence presented is a forgery, fake of fraud. All their sources are infallible fact checkers, and the only place where peer review takes place.

Some will even try to belittle you as ignorant, not scientific, a grade school education, evil, even accuse you as a hater. I had one say that 2-1 does not equal 1 but infinity. Some will even claim that you never answer their questions, are lying, and are falsely accusing them. Of course, it is always a joy to suffer for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I wouldn't belittle anybody but it's clear there is a serious lack of education on the matter that a bit of study into the sciences wouldn't solve.

It's actually something one can see for themselves once you understand and can apply the techniques first hand.
