Maybe Darwin should have used a little logic to when u came up with the whole evolution process.

You do understand that whales, and dolphins, breathe air and do not have gills right?
Evolution teaches that through survival of the fittest, minor mutations occur which make a creature more apt to survival. This creature which is more apt to survival then lives on to breed. This happens for several hundreds of millions of years I might add, so your concept of "where did it go??" doesn't fit in to this massive time spectrum.
You should research evolution with an open mind my friend, in the same respect that you give your time to Kent Hovid (who I might add has evaded $500,000 worth of tax fraud and is currently serving in federal prison). Additionally Kent Hovid has a Ph.D. from an unaccredited institution.

I'm just having fun with you. I don't expect you to change your mind on this but I still think you have a hard time defending Evolution. Darwin's Origin of the Species doesn't say anything about the origin of life. Darwin himself indicates that there is a Creator.
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one;
Charles Darwin - The Origin of Species
In the end I think that even if you were to prove Evolution to be fact, you would still have such a huge gap from the Big Bang and exploding stars to the cell that it would make Evolution look like the closing credits on a 2 hour film.
That is why I find Evolution to be a white wash on the origin of life. It doesn't address the origin of life at all. It merely picks up in the closing chapter of where we are today. I think you'll find that many who have problems with Evolution discredit it because it's only one piece of the puzzle. I doubt you can argue against that. Disagree maybe, but hard to argue with.

Sigh, how can you debunk evolution when you dont even understand a thing about it

What an unfair debate when the individual shows up for a few minutes to say "YOUR WRONG" and then disappears offline until tomorrow, when he'll come back and do it again.

Influenza can also be transmitted by saliva, nasal secretions, feces and blood.

I agree wholeheartedly. If this had been a real debate. As in a live debate before an audience where you would be judged based on performance he would have lost many times over at this point.
I don't know, with this hit and run mentality, I'm close to labeling him as nothing more than a troll and moving on with my life. You just can't get through to some people. Maybe he should at least research intelligent design instead of taking the Bible for literal truth.
Been on quite a few threads with you as of late, so let me take the time now to say that it is nice meeting you.

Like blood clotting right? Some questions are better unasked.
Blood coagulation is part of an important host defense mechanism termed hemostasis (the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel). Upon vessel injury, platelets adhere to macromolecules in the subendothelial tissues and then aggregate to form the primary hemostatic plug. The platelets stimulate local activation of plasma coagulation factors, leading to generation of a fibrin clot that reinforces the platelet aggregate. Later, as wound healing occurs, the platelet aggregate and fibrin clot are broken down. Mechanisms that restrict formation of platelet aggregates and fibrin clots to sites of injury are necessary to maintain the fluidity of the blood.
I. Coagulation in vitro
When blood is removed from the body and placed in a glass test tube, it clots fairly quickly (Table 1). Calcium ions are required for this process. Addition of EDTA or citrate prevents clotting by binding calcium. Clotting can be initiated in vitro at a later time by adding back an excess of calcium ions. As shown in Table 1, recalcified plasma (minus platelets and other blood cells) will clot in 2-4 min. The clotting time after recalcification can be shortened by adding an emulsion of negatively-charged phospholipids (PL). The clotting time is further shortened to 21-32 sec by preincubation of the plasma with particulate substances such as kaolin (insoluble aluminum silicate). The reaction initiated by kaolin, PL, and calcium is termed the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) test. Alternatively, the clotting time of recalcified plasma can be shortened to 11-12 sec by adding "thromboplastin" (a saline brain extract containing tissue factor, a lipoprotein described below). The reaction initiated by thromboplastin and calcium is termed the prothrombin time (PT) test.

So that proves that Evolution is just a theory ant not actual science, right? it cannt be observed, right? (except for micro-evolution)
Did u know that apes or primates or cannot evolve into humans b/c humans have more chromosomes that apes/primates/monkeys wutever. Chromosomes cannot be duplicated, although de-evolution is possible b/c animals can lose chromosomes but it is highly unlikley..
first creature out the sea was actually arthropods they breathed through thier skin and looked like giant scorpions
anyome else want to take a shot at the question? here it is again:
If all creatures came out of the ocean, then the first creature on earth had lungs or gills?

they can in plants and still lead to helthy growth and whole new genus/family of plants

Maybe Darwin should have used a little logic to when u came up with the whole evolution process. Oh and did u know that before he died he recanted evolution saying that it wasnt true??
www.cincinnatiskeptics.org...
The evidence shows that the story is not true. Lady Hope was not present at the deathbed of Darwin. The multiple independent accounts of his death, written by those who were there, make no mention of it. His children who were there at his death wrote articles and letters that specifically refuted the recantation and conversion story
not really im answering every question thrown at me so far ^_^

yes it does and many people who beleive in evolution and religeon still think the same god started it and let the system run
Darwin's Origin of the Species doesn't say anything about the origin of life. Darwin himself indicates that there is a Creator.
it has to science the people who actually do things with it like make medicience like understanding possible mutations in virus's to preempt them becomeing drug resitant
In the end I think that even if you were to prove Evolution to be fact,
thats exactly what it is its the last bit of the film of our universe
you would still have such a huge gap from the Big Bang and exploding stars to the cell that it would make Evolution look like the closing credits on a 2 hour film.
its got nothing to do with the origins of life it is the origins of natural diversity
That is why I find Evolution to be a white wash on the origin of life.
the clues in the book name
On the Origin of Species
but its absurd, its like arguing a murder never happened becasue we have the body with a knife sticking out its back and the empty wallet lying next to the corpse but dont yet know who the killer is
I think you'll find that many who have problems with Evolution discredit it because it's only one piece of the puzzle. I doubt you can argue against that. Disagree maybe, but hard to argue with.

So why havent we changed? Ill tell u wut the day i see a scientist get an amoeba or wutever single celled or multicelled organism that u say created all of us and have it evolve into a new species ill believe u.
why do i get the feeling you wont actually chnage your mind
until then its not true.
We now know that blood and us having a cold have nothing to do with each other. And who really cares if Kent is in jail for tax fraud, wut the hell does tax fraud have to do with science and disproving evolution? nothing.

Since i care for yall i will leave this tread with one last video, that isnt very long...
Fast forward to about 6:55mins and listen to wut he says about evolution. Tell me ur thoughts....
Keep in mind that this man was involved heavily in demon worship and was given alot of insight to satans plans.. He talks about evolition foe about 5 mins or so, just check the video out, and give me ur thoughts.. thanks...
