It was just a joke, and ridiculing those on the creationist side, and how they supposedly see things, not Jesus. It is not how Catholics who believe in evolution see Jesus. God is the God of evolution and saying He couldn’t or didn’t use evolution limits God’s power and glory.See our Lord being ridiculed above in the image with the dinosaur.
It demonstrates the attitude one has about the people on the other side of the argument.
Perhaps so, but neverthelessMemes do nothing to help understanding, only to polarize.
You are right, they are a waste of time, so one last good one… and let’s get to the real debate.Yes, memes do have a point, but they do not support their point. As I said, they do not convince anyone. So it is just a waste of your time to post them.
Those 50,000 generations of bacteria are in a lab. Dr. Lenski’s lab. They are the Long Term E. coli Experiment.They were not hauled into the lab.
Your unsupported personal opinion is worth very little against the massive amount of scientific evidence for evolution in general and primate evolution in particular.Humans did not evolve from anything. We were created.
Someone may actually want a reasoned discussion. That person may want to try somewhere else. There isn’t enough agreement, even among those on the same side of the debate to narrow a discussion down to the one or two common points of interest needed for a debate. I have no idea what you envision as evolution. So what you are going to get is a shotgun approach - this is what I think. If you want me to respond to some belief you have, state it and I will give you as much a thoughtful critique as I can muster. Alternatively, pick something I’ve said that sounds wrong or is not understandable, and I will try to clarify as best I can.It would be nice if you actually tried to support a point like this rather than just blasting it out there and expecting it to do something.
He is referring to the bacteria that became another species, the Pope however was indeed talking about previous generations over a long period of time. This experiment Rossum is referring to was over 30 years or so, and since the generations of bacteria are relatively short, there were about 50,000 generations at the time of the study.Is your claim that life in the past (now dead) can be hauled in the lab?
That is what the Pope was stating. 10,000 generations in the past is a one time event and we cannot do emprirical research on them.
Actually no, like Rossum said we observed macroevolution in a laboratory.Macroevolution is inconsistent with our observations and Revelation as well.
The idea about the light joke is that creationists believe dinos and humans were altogether until the flood, and so the extinction of dinosaurs happened during the Moses flood event.So you think he needed to take full size dinos?
That said, we do have spleens, livers, brains, hearts, bones and muscles like animals. Like them as well, we have perceptions, feelings and automatic reactions. We are hardwired to live within a limited earthly environment. We take a microcosm with us when we go underwater or out in space. Whether we took it with us when a flood covered the earth, will be left for another discussion. The truth of who we are lies in our being a spiritual soul. The matter that constitues our body is incorporated from the time of conception from matter that is other, becoming self within the relationship that is our existence. That being does not come from any pre-existing organism but is created by God Himself, from Adam onward in time.. . . and to reason, actually, when we contemplate the reality of our own individual existence.
I was thinking about these sorts of views when I commented:creationists believe dinos and humans were altogether until the flood
I would label myself as a creationist, but I don’t think that view is likely.There isn’t enough agreement, even among those on the same side of the debate to narrow a discussion down to the one or two common points of interest needed for a debate.
