Well clearly you don't lol... You think that evolution is based on "chance".

So this is the Dawkins quote?
Richard Dawkins: Well, my response was about Darwinism, which is my own field. Darwinism is the explanation for life on this planet, but I believe that all intelligence, all creativity, and all design anywhere in the universe is the direct or indirect product of Darwinian natural selection. It follows that design comes late in the universe, after a period of Darwinian evolution. Design cannot precede evolution and therefore cannot underlie the universe. That was my response.
And this is your version of his words:
"I believe but cannot prove we are the product of Darwinian Natural Selection and random mutation - Richard Dawkins"
Do you notice any difference? In both actual words and meaning?
Yes, their is such a thing as a science writer. It is like whitesmoke's with a huge addon for science and law.
It's a great program mel you would like it i think
Heh, probably. Editing's such a bitch.

Mel, I feel like you and I have have been on the opposing end of this age old argument for so long I forget sometimes that you are a person with feelings and not an adversarial one with the exception of our opinions on this topic I sometimes get the feeling I'd want to meet you.
weird huh? lol
Anyway I was thinking Ill post the new version and see what you think. I read that last part and I ask, why not?

What I think of him as an atheist, albeit they DO support evoluton and have recruited dim witts like Ken Miller JUST so they can say Christians support it to but Ill explain why this is absolutley asinine to suggest such a ridiculous assertion. One simple reason is God never spoke to an evolving Adam and Eve. Wanna be a Christian? You got to believe at least SOME of the Bible and Miller throws it out in the very first book
I am not the one who is making claims for the TOE (Theory of evolution) Noob is, and he is using already debunked data such as titalak if you read the book icons of evolution, and read the US congress report titled
well id like you to link a few showing there is a limit to the variance displaying those exact genetic bounds, becasue no one else has managed to find them
Decades of observations of different animal or plant species revealed that variation within living things never went beyond specific genetic bounds.
deffine information, its a nonsense term without context
Genetic experiments, on the other hand, showed that the mutations that Darwinists regarded as an “evolutionary mechanism” could never add new genetic information to living things,
they are pretty complex, but evolution says they started out simple an got more complex
but that on the contrary they always had harmful effects.
Life, and especially the living cell and the complex organelles within it, is full of the most complicated designs.
here come the classics ..did you forget the blood clotting system and bombadier beetle and the flagellum?
Our eyes, with which no camera can possibly compare, bird wings that inspired aeronautical technology, the complex and interdependent systems within the living cell, the extraordinary information contained in DNA …
umm your black glasses with the fake nose have gone wonky and you beards becoming unglued you were calling your self an evolutionist earlier
All these are clear “examples of creation…”
luckily evolutionary theory is strictly regulated so it isnt a matter of blind chance
They also leave the theory of evolution, that regards life as the product of blind chance, utterly helpless.
These scientific facts left Darwinism backed into a corner by the end of the 20th century. Scientists in many Western countries, particularly the United States, today reject Darwinism in favour of the fact of creation.
not my posts sorry maybe talk to him? though i will adress the human evolution in a second
If Evolution were true, we would be seeing us evolve by now and the post above mentions Apes evolving thumbs as if their were a time we didn't have any.
i dont know, ask him maybe but why be honest about it when you can try and infer i hold the same view
Does he realize how utterly silly his assertion is?
possibly but unlikley they wouldnt give any advantage
When was the last time we found fossil of such evolved primates or humans. If this were true we would STILL be evolving such appendages and they would look like this
like the 4 winged fly that could still fly
The countless mutation experiments carried out on fruit flies only yielded deformed individuals.
now this you need to link, im willing to bet money its the classic quote mine used in ben steins "expelled: no intellignece used to make this" documentary
Natural Selection is not only discarded as a mechanism but has recently been admitted as flawed by Richard Dawkins himself. He realized that nothing about creation being what it is, could have come about the way it has without some mind behind it.
when presented with an accurate description of macro evolution you seemed a little confused maybe theres areason we say it?
Noob says he can prove this he can prove that well I have asked him if we came about by natural selection and random mutation and he says their is mountains of proof. Most Atheists say this and when someone refutes the TOE, they then say that person doesn't understand evolution. Dave420 is notorious for saying "Clearly you have no clue about evolution"
and still just pictures no links to the article? dont worry this one could be found
including but certainly not limited to the despicable acts of discrimination towards ID and Creation SCIENCE they were found guilty of by members of Congress and the pdf for that is available for download and is nothing like what the Atheist websites downplaying it.
and science caught him trying to cheat and wouldnt let him play anymore .... and this is a bad thing?
It appeared to be one of archaeology's most sensational finds. The skull fragment discovered in a peat bog near Hamburg was more than 36,000 years old - and was the vital missing link between modern humans and Neanderthals.
skepdic.com...
On the other hand, Professor Chris Stringer of the Department of Palaeontology at London's Natural History Museum, says that Hahnhöfersand Man
was never regarded as a Neanderthal and was briefly important in the 1980s to people like Gunter Brauer, who were arguing for gene flow between Neanderthals and modern humans. However, as anyone who is familiar with the palaeoanthropological literature over the last 20 years would know, the find has been of negligible significance to recent debate. It has to be said that this is also a reflection of Dr. Protsch's low reputation in the field, as anyone familiar with the recent literature would also know (personal correspondence).
Scientists Say No Evidence Exists That Therapod Dinosaurs Evolved Into Birds
so misleading to the public then not sceince
When pieces are stolen and smuggled out, sometimes blocks of fossils are matched together mistakenly. That can be a big mistake, and it misleads the public.’
feathers are collagen ....
For example, in 1996 there were headlines like ‘Feathered Fossil Proves Some Dinosaurs Evolved into Birds.’ This was about a fossil called Sinosauropteryx prima. Creationist publications advised readers to be skeptical and keep an open mind. They were vindicated when four leading paleontologists, including Yale University's John Ostrom, later found that the ‘feathers’ were just a parallel array of fibres, probably collagen.
and who was it that corrected its self and provided that evidence? science again. self correcting
Another famous alleged dino-bird link was Mononykus, claimed to be a ‘flightless bird.’ The cover of Time magazine even illustrated it with feathers, although not the slightest trace of feathers had been found. Later evidence indicated that ‘Mononykus was clearly not a bird … it clearly was a fleet-footed fossorial digging theropod.’
except for all the evidence that exists which is plenty
No good evidence exists that fossilized structures found in China and which some paleontologists claim are the earliest known rudimentary feathers were really feathers at all,
actually that would be the same guy, who repeatedly was proven wrong by other scientists www.olm.org...
Evolutionists go so far in this subject that they can even invent very different faces for the same skull. The three entirely different reconstructions made for the fossil called Zinjantropus is a famous example showing how persistent evolutionists are in producing these false masks.
that would be artists not scientists they employ artists to make sketches and models so the general public have an idea what they have found so the artists tend to add a little poetic license thats why i prefer the fossils to pretty pictures
Evolutionists engage not only in drawing and modeling tricks.
so scientists proved it fake then?
The most famous of these frauds is the Piltdown fossil introduced in England in 1912 by an evolutionist named Charles Dawson. This fossil was presented as the most important transitional form between ape and man and was displayed in museums for more than thirty years. Experts who reexamined the fossil in 1949 discovered that it was a forgery that had been produced by attaching an orangutan’s jaw to a human skull.
immediatley doughted by several scientists and proven wrong by scientists ... this trend of science correcting mistakes to keep only the real stuff isnt really helping your claim
“Nebraska Man”. was cooked up in 1922 on the basis of a single fossil tooth. It was soon revealed that the tooth that had been the source of inspiration for Nebraska Man in fact belonged to a wild pig.
such as?
Many other fossil skulls have been presented as great evidence for evolution failed one by one.
we know its not supposed to, genetic level changes does that natural selection just weeds out the poor ones
Natural selection is a logical process that can be observed. However, selection can only operate on the information already contained in genes—it does not produce new information.
it really isnt becasue the bible says it made them all as is
Actually, this is consistent with the Bible’s account of origins; God created distinct kinds of animals and plants, each to reproduce after its own kind.
nice try skippy what about bears? they are not so distant ancestors
One can observe great variation in a kind, and see the results of natural selection. For instance, dingoes, wolves, and coyotes have developed over time as a result of natural selection operating on the information in the genes of the wolf/dog kind.
theres that misrepresntative Chance lie again
If one believes that a living cell can come into existence by chance, then there is nothing to prevent one from believing a similar story that we will relate to this and why Richard Dawkins finally understands the reasons Natural Selection couldn't have happened. See below: the story of a town.
past event we can follow the evidence but never be 100%
in summary:
If Noob can prove it, why then he must be pretty damn smart because not even Richard Dawkins says he can prove it.
"I believe but cannot prove we are the product of Darwinian Natural Selection and random mutation - Richard Dawkins"
that humans come from evolution i havnt said that in our discussion, but the evidence points that way and some evidence is always better then none, the position you find yourself in
If he can't prove it how does noob say he can?
i thought there was a lack of ad-hominims guess you couldnt think of anymore and decided not to use noobfundie after i laughed at its febble repatition
The Fact is, Noob is doesn't know what he is talking about much less spell or write what he doesn't know about it.
correct .... why? and that should be have faith in as it requires no evidence
BOTTOM LINE:
Many of us believe things we can not prove such as Christians do with their belief in God and,,
that would be following all available evidence to form the best working conclusion, if it involves evidence its not faith
as it would seem, atheists too and their belief,,
playing the poor victimised christain card .... how very drool
NEXT UP! The Peanut Gallery! and the ridicule orchestra of Atheist's

so if he takes genesis as a metaphor but believes jesus came down and died for our sins then thats believing some then isnt it i guess he is a christain after all
yes recruited a few dim wits ...40% of the scientific community that beleive in thiestic evolution, you know evolution that god made
ooo you brought a picture, not a link to the artice in question? not a link to a blog or politcal source discussing it?
"Aermacchi's agenda to spread ignorance on ATS"
"moral reasons for removal of internet access"
Genetic experiments, on the other hand, showed that the mutations that Darwinists regarded as an “evolutionary mechanism” could never add new genetic information to living things,
they are pretty complex, but evolution says they started out simple an got more complex

personally i dought moses wrote it at all

You know,, it isn't a big deal I guess when you consider his only begotten son had to DIE OVER A METAPHOR! Miller is a DUFUS! Ken Miller does more to enable Atheism then he does to lead people to Christ.
Genesis was just a quick example of how his alleged Christianity is somewhat dubious to me I can give quite a long post on just that part of this issue but I kinda doubt moses wrote Genesis using all those names about adam begat cain and able who begat this and that name all the way to noah.
follows the tennets of christianity and calls him self one thats enough for me
If I used that argument you give for miller, atheists would be all over it.
o_0 they really arnt without vast interpreatation
Genesis is sort of a specialty of mine and it can be pretty scientific if you care to study it and how it matches up with science. I really would like you to hear one and three as they get into some pretty deep research.
i dont run around making claims i cant back, i read this kind of stuff for fun so most of it i already knew and have bookmarked for thier usefulness or intrest
If not I would ask Mel as he might actually listen to them and give me his take on it. I don't usually give a lot of links to this stuff anymore because most don't read em and the rest have already seen them. I don't know which one of them you are but I WAS impressed you actually took the time to find some of those links for referances.
ill check it out later but every topic ive seen on this usually requires some lax interpretation to make it fit
So you seem serious enough and you were the cause of someone sending me a nice u2u ( I think mel might be hot for me lol ) so allow me to do you the honors this time. The Chuck Missler Library
well as many sciences have nothing really to do with the natural world they can express anything they feel like
Ha ha "thiestic evolution," I love oxymorons like that too but I don't think God would mind if I just go ahead and call them just plane morons. I would think it is the "safest" way to express your spiritual side in a industry so rife with bigotry against Christianity.
which they arnt doing
I mean Jesus said if you deny him in life he will deny you before the father
who hijacked a system, sent through a paper he shouldnt have (none peer reviewed) didnt discuss it with any of the other editors(which he should have) and was the least qualified editor to deal with the topic) and hadnt he already handed in a long term notice for his position before he even printed the article?
and if they deny their belief of evolution being a scientist, well they just might not get very far with peer reviews or even jobs where they don't even cost anyone any money, FICA, or workmans comp, like oh say a volunteer at the smithsonian.
doesnt impress me any theres nothing suprising about them or miraculous they are just a figure of what people think
The percentage may impress you but that is why the word says narrow is the gate and not all saying lord lord will make it.
you posted a picture with no link
Yep now you know why I don't bother anymore. Perhaps I may be a bit jaded after all this time arguing with people where you spend hours doing research then writing your findings just to have the poster say it isn't credible because ( place your excuse here)
why does everyone insist on using this metaphor its such a bad one
Gee am I correct after all about my not bothering to use links on someone so looking for truth like a thief looks for a cop?
it fits but not for the reasons you may be thinking
What! someone spreading ignorance on ATS!!! Isn't that unusual! LOL
With the exception of who you are saying is doing it, I find that statement hilariously funny and now I can say your handle you use here fits.
what that we evolved from very simple unicellular cretaures?
When I said the below quote, Sorry that isn't what evolution says albeit true i suppose if evolution could talk it would most likely boast,
" In particular, we show that, in fixed environments, for organisms whose fitness depends only on their own sequence information, physical complexity must always increase."
Adami et al. PNAS 2000
we have observed the changes, that is evidence they occur, they add information that has been observed
but that was not proof, it was speculation and why I asked in my previous post about measuring the difference in genetic mutation as these expressions are made evident is not the same as evi-DENCE, in spite of your interpretation.
not jaded just wish the creationist anti-evolution websites this stuff is pulled from actually updated with new arguments now and again and got rid of the worthless old twoddle, so its not a case of pulling out all the old links to disprove the same tired old argument
Ha ha noob you are killin me here! Naw,, I wouldn't show that stuff to an old salt like you and now I see I was right saving us both the time and effort after all using any links as it is quite obvious you are jaded too.
so becasue these argumenst have been flogged to death and reserected and flogges again more then a few times im jaded?
So with that Ill just expect my offer to have you listen to missler will go ignored and unlistened to and I will not bother with the rest of this.
well if they can prove he exists or the bible is right ill be happy to listen, if they cant depending on my frame of mind i may still be happy to listen
I figure, if none of the Christians here have convinced you knowing I am not near as Bible savvy as so many here like AshleyD, Jphish, P4t, meriam, whammy etc, I sure as hell won't have much luck so I guess Ill dust off my shoes and wash my hands of this one and perhaps God has someone else in a long chain of Christians that will cross your path while thier is still time in your life.
the smart ones that paid attention and got good grades? thanks for the compliment
but it's simply that i don't give a rats ass about ya one way or the other. I know I know love your enemy but you I just don't take all that serious enough to be an enemy. You are more like the kind of kids I would take their milk money at school growing up.

no the frauds are either not done by science, and proven wrong by science
Originally posted by Aermacchi
The point in showing all the fraud isn't to prove anything about evolution being wrong, it's that so many times it has had to have so many frauds attempting to prove it right and that is what gives it so much prestige! Yep those evolutionists are right up there with used car salesman!
around 14 versions of the Holy Prepuce (at Antwerp, Coulombs, Chartres, Charroux, Metz, Conques, Langres, Anvers, Fécamp, Puy-en-Velay, Auvergne, Hildesheim, Santiago de Compostela and Calcata)

four Spears of Longinus,
three Crowns of Thorns,

"What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church ... a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them."

Not a compliment at all noob and as I already have shown, you use words that are out of context, your grammar is weak and your spelling SUCKS.
i dont but i was one of the smart kids so as the comment was aimed at me i used it in the context i found myself at school
But besides that, What makes you think the "smart kids" were the only ones that had milk money

well thats generally whats meant by the term people as the entier post is talking about people and thier blief/experiences
Who is using God as a tool. Would that be Humans!!!!
not according to the older greek copies of the bible
I guess you will know the truth when you die. Until then have a great ride.
