Says the guy who is just dismissing a whole concept without actually attempting to understand the evidence that supports and identifies it as true. Like I said earlier. Better stop going to the doctors. Clearly none of that medicine should work.

But then again it is easy to just say that evolution isn't true without taking the time to understand the aspects of modern life that you rely on that require evolution to be true in order for them to work. Go on and continue to lie to yourself and stick your head in the sand. Unlike the Bible, evolution doesn't care if you don't believe in it. It's going to happen regardless.

Can't watch the video at this time BUT
I'm sure this thread is going to be a fun one Looking forward to hearing what folks have to say

Your head sounds like it's buried next to him. Talk about being set in your ways.
Also, the Bible doesn't care if you believe in it. It's scripture for goodness sake, take it for what it is.
I personally don't believe Evolution is the complete story. I believe it has some truth to it, but It doesn't answer everything. So you being close minded, shouting praise from the rooftops about the evolution THEORY is just as harmful, if not more so, than those who believe in other theories... Be it "God" or otherwise.
Side note : From reading posts for many years it seems to me that those who don't 100% subscribe the evolution theory or those who maybe believe in intelligent design are a lot more willing to meet halfway. And being willing to understand and consider other people's theories is what gets you places. Being set on EVOLUTION IS THE ONLY WAY will get us NOWHERE.

I tend to disagree.
If you look, and I have, over the years, and many years. It is usually the same exact people who will argue with anyone that shows them logic evoltion isn't possible.
If you look at their posts, usually they are in the thousands or even tens of thousands.
It is the same people over and over. And you can explain things so simply and elegantly to them, and they will never ever ever answer you. They will always say the same things over and over and over. Much like a Catholic defending his faith.
You know Catholics are taught not to read the Holy Bible. And in the dark ages, if they even had a page their clergy would murder them for reading it.
Do you not see a pattern?

You would lose. Anyway answer any question in the post above your last one. Thanks.
How did the mechanics of the lac operon evolve?
Why does the repressor attach itself to the operator and how did the mechanics evolve?
Why does the repressor attach to the operator when lactose isn't present and how did the mechanics evolve?
Why do you have promoter, operator then genes and how did this sequence evolve?
What stops the RNA Polymerase when the repressor is attached to the operator?
Why can't it express the lac genes and how did this mechanism evolve?
How did Repressors, Enhancers and Activators evolve and how did the mechanics evolve for there role in gene regulation?
Which evolved first the enhancers, activators, promoter region or DNA coding sequence and how did the mechanics evolve?
How did the bending protein evolve and how did the mechanics evolve where the bending protein folds the DNA strand to the spot near the promoter which activates gene expression?
Why does the activators attach themselves to the enhancers and how did the mechanics evolve?
Which evolved first gene regulation or gene expression? How did these things evolve and how did the mechanics evolve?
Gene regulation and expression needs proteins in order to regulate the expression of genes. Which evolved first, how did it evolve and how did the mechanics evolve? Did the expression come before the regulation or did they both just magically appear as a system that works beautifully together?

The interesting thing about paleontology is that for a couple hundred years all we had were the bones. And at first we only had a few of them and data was sparse, but we put together a picture of human evolution that showed clear advances over time. There never was a "missing link." That was just your MSM in action. And as we dug more and found more that picture of human evolution began to fill in. The gaps were fewer and we also found that it was a lot more complicated than we first figured. We've got it pretty well down to Homo erectus. After that it gets sparse again, but the overall picture is clear. Lucy, or one of her cousins, is our ancestor.
Then along DNA, a COMPLETELY different science, and guess what? DNA says, "You were right!" DNA complements paleontology; it does not contradict it in the least. Indeed, we can now find neanderthal and Denisovan genes in ourselves. We are part Neanderthal, which was an offshoot, not a predecessor species. And as our techniques get better and more refined, we'll find even more similarities.
So, yes, we did evolve from an ape. We didn't evolve from modern apes, of course. That should go without saying in any educated group, but so many of us do not make the distinction. Apes are as evolved as we are. They evolved in parallel to us from the same distant ancestor. And somewhat over 99% of our genes are the same. The DNA proves it.
There's no reason any of this has to contradict Intelligent Design. You can easily have both with no contradictions. You can say and justify that "Yes, Evolution is true and yes, Intelligent Design is true." What you CANNOT do is claim the world was made in 4004 BC and God placed humans on the Earth fully formed. That has no credibility AT ALL and should be relegated to children's myths along with Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny.
And if you profess such nonsense, you belong to the Ignorant Class. NOBODY needs to take you seriously.

Ok. Troll confirmed.
Everyone who doesn't believe in Evolutionary theory should stop going to the doctor immediately. Most modern medicines and medical techniques are developed assuming the theory is true.
