The Theory of Evolution is supported by the evidence.

1) The first life was not an amoeba. Cellular life only arose after a few hundred million years.

2) Yes, scientists do understand how this life arose. It is called abiogenesis. If you wish to discuss this further, start a new thread.

It's funny how, after slamming evolution in thread after thread, when a thread is open just to discuss it, Danmac has nothing to say about evolution.

I have exactly the same problem on another messageboard. Continual decrying of evolution as 'lies', 'evil', 'fake', 'a joke', 'easy to disprove', but open up a forum to challenge it and suddenly everyone shuts up. It really shows the self-delusion of these people.

Why, it's almost as though Danmac doesn't have an argument against evolution. I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked.

Danmac actually has a life apart from these forums. Just because I am not available to respond as much as you are doesn't mean I don't have anything to say. Now, having said that. You are not a scientist or a biologist. You may be a bit self educated on the matter, but you really don't know anything, but the basics. You echo what scientists say as though you know something about it when in reality you are just spouting off, as you usually do.

Why don't we ask her. PW, theistic evolution, your thoughts.....

I believe that theistic evolution is close to my stance, though without the Christian theology.
Evolution is the mechanism behind creation in living things.

I cannot completely disagree with that. The Bible itself says that man was formed from the dust. I'm sure there is a more scientific term than dust, but that is the term the Bible uses. I don't think it is a coincidence that human kind is dependent upon things that come from the ground for sustenance. I do however take issue with the one common ancestor for all living creatures.

That was sarcasm, Danmac.

You've spent 12 pages in this thread, arguing that evolution can't be correct because it doesn't jive with your religious views. Mind you, you don't argue that the evidence that supports the theory of evolution is invalid, you simply insist that it is being misinterpreted by everyone that makes a living studying it, and that the people that do understand it are the ones that don't actually do the work to collect the evidence.

It's just a coincidence (in your mind) that all those that truly understand how to correctly interpret the evidence just happen to be theists.

Now that you've been made aware that there are theists that embrace evolution, you now find that you can agree with the theory, except the part about a common ancestor. In effect, you're willing to sip from the cup, but you don't want anyone to stir up the contents, lest you get some of the grounds.

I suppose if we agree with macroevolution, then we also must agree that humans are nothing more than animals separated by time. But if we agree that humans were created as a higher form of life than all other living creatures, then we must acknowledge a God. But then the atheist would have to take issue with his or her own lack. Herein lies the problem. There is only room for one God in the life of an atheist and that would be self.

Remove the "nothing more than" and you're bang on.

Yep, all us atheists are selfish. You clearly know what you're talking about.

Seriously, just because we don't believe in your idea of a God does not mean we're selfish or self-obsessed. If anything, the fact that you use the idea of God to make yourself feel superior via "being created as a higher form of life" shows that your belief in a God is far more self-serving than our disbelief.
