Is Darwin's Theory of Evolution True? Part Three

[edwest211]

Of course it doesn’t. That’s just a bunch of drawings. Like Neanderthal man. The early drawings made him appear more beast-like, then he started to become more human looking as time passed until it was discovered that some “modern” humans have Neanderthal DNA.

 

[edwest211]

Yep. One altered drawing tells a story. Not a true story, just a story.

 

[edwest211]

It’s like stand-up comedy sometimes.

 

[edwest211]

Ah, the god Change. Which, as offerings, demands change. I know.

 

[edwest211]

That’s it. Applied science is useful. This is only useful for promoting atheism.

 

[edwest211]

If only that were true. I’ve read enough documents where it’s quite clear that it is an ongoing problem.

 

[edwest211]

Actually, it doesn’t. The fact that the human genome and those of other creatures share some common building blocks means the designer made them that way. Evolution is not intelligent, it is not goal oriented and is subject to bizarre misinterpretations based on ‘materialism is all there is.’

They used the word DESIGNED. Oh my!

Some Songbirds Have Brains Specially Designed to Find Mates for Life

A male’s system is designed to recognize the songs of other males and copy his father’s. If he doesn’t learn, perfect and memorize his father’s song within the first 90 days of life, when his brain is especially malleable, he never will. He still sings, but “he sings a disaster,” said Dr. Woolley. “And the females want nothing to do with him.”

That’s just silly. Textbook evolution is not compatible with the faith. The more I read - going on Part 17,000,000,000,000,000 - the more convinced I am that it’s a fairy tale for atheists.

 

[IWantGod]

The “God Change”? What on earth are you talking about?

 

[edwest211]

DESIGNED!!!??? That’s Secular Blasphemy!

Or maybe the New York Times - after being bombarded with negative comments - will “amend” the article. But I doubt it.

 

[edwest211]

Oh, that god is worshiped all the time. By Leftists, Radicals and some Politicians. I’m sure you’ve seen slogans like “It’s Time for a Change” and similar. Or the fictional “It’s Time…” in general, as if the date on the calendar does anything. No, change is only accomplished by people doing things, sometimes outlandish things. And it’s getting weirder out there. “I know. Let’s change this or that!” Let’s convince people that total nonsense is actually real and see if they fall for it. Happens all the time.

What, like the idea that species or “kinds” have never changed and that there has never been a new “kind” or species? Or that the world was created 6000 years ago. You mean that kind of absurdity?

People have realized things about God’s physical creation and also about his scripture that they didn’t know before, and people are swallowing their pride, learning, and moving on, including the Pope.

You are being left behind…

 

[edwest211]

Biologists go to work, continue their research and don’t know me. So applied science, using real things, is good. This idea is just some idea.

If that’s your flavor, that’s up to you. Just don’t try to demonize the rest of us just because you are having difficulty reconciling your sola-scriptura theories with the hard facts of science. Scientists are trying to learn about physical reality and how it operates, It’s irrelevant to them whether or not you can find a use for it. It’s not like someone was trying to call you to find out if it would be useful to you if they discover a black-hole or find evidence of the big-bang… For crying-out-loud.

 

[edwest211]

“demonize”? Uh, huh. Take a deep breath.

Before a pig was a pig… what was it ?

Before a pig was a pig… what was it ?

A pig has always been a pig. But there were two almost-but-not-quite pigs that had a litter that included a pig.

Offspring are not identical to their parents, so the change happens between parents and offspring.

My interpretation is that they are using the quote to refer to the fact that all (true) knowledge and wisdom comes from God, and are not making a statement on the fallibility of the discoveries themselves, which exist concerning our past regardless of if you accept evolution or not.

But there were other almost-but-not-quite pigs out there that were surviving and reproducing and multiplying also, at the same time… what happened to them ?
