not all of us were home schooled or went to private Catholics schools to be indoctrinated with fairy tales.
They will continue to sit here and argue a dead topic until another
blog posts up more crap. Then they'll come here, post it, and talk
about that useless piece of garbage for another week or so until
the next piece gets put out. It's a vicious cycle of false news and
dumb people.
You are less American than those who bombed the twin towers.
You ruin what is a great country with your ignorance and hate.
What are you then, an ObamaHaterBot? Why are you still allowed to post here?
I can't stop laughing at you people. Jesus. I'd rather you post a
blog. Seriously guys. Stop. My stomach hurts from laughing this hard. To me, this sums up the entire issue. Uninformed people using unreliable sources to base their argument*.
I am all for gene therapy and getting rid of certain genetic
traits. I am also for forcibly stopping people from having so many
children.
We are literally polluting this world with kids - and many
times kids with bad genes. I don't know that I am all for killing, that seems pretty brutal and unnecessary. There are plenty of other reasonable means of helping develop a better gene pool.
You're crazy. (ad-hom?) You throw around accusations you can't
back up and/or are stupid - like graduating cum laude isn't an
honor. I did enjoy how you danced around my question, though.
Anyway, you can keep slinging mud. You can back it up with
nothing, and I'll just continue to laugh at you, or you can back it up
with sketchy sources, and I'll continue to embarrass you by using
real ones.
Splendid! Then I won't be expecting anymore from you as I refuse to respond to someone who gives me their word and doesn't stick to it.
In physics and cosmology, the anthropic principle is the collective name for several ways of asserting that physical and chemical theories, especially astrophysics and cosmology, need to take into account that there is life on Earth, and that one form of that life, Homo sapiens, has attained intelligence. The only kind of universe humans can occupy is one that is similar to the current one.

If you plan on insulting others intelligence, I suggest you take a look into this here!!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - that's just the way it is.
Your example is flawed because it's not extraordinary at all, it's normal.

Even the best argument in favor of a god would still leave an infinite number of possibilities as to what being that would be or even if we could trust him or the way he made us.
You're also wrong that it can't be argued that there isn't a God.
I can take the Bible and show you numerous contradictions in God's own description.
Spontaneous Generation was disproved as the Origin of Life in 1859. Ironically, it was this same year that Charles Darwin's Origin of Species was published.
From this work arose the modern evolutionary movement, which is now thought to have occurred in six phases:
(1) Cosmic Evolution (the origin of space, time, matter and energy from nothing);
(2) Chemical Evolution (the development of the higher elements from hydrogen);
(3) Stellar and Planetary Evolution (the origin of stars and planets);
(4) Organic Evolution (the origin of organic life from a rock);
(5) Macro Evolution (the origin of major kinds); and
(6) Micro Evolution (the variation within the kinds).
Astrophysicist, Sir Fred Hoyle and his colleague Chandra Wickramasinghe argued chance processes could not have formed the biochemical machinery of the cell, especially the enzymes. In their book, "Evolution from Space," they estimated the probability of forming a single enzyme of protein at random, in the rich ocean of amino acids, was no more than 10 to the 20th power. They then calculated the likelihood of forming by chance all of the more than 2000 enzymes used in the life forms on earth. This probability was calculated at one in 10 to the 40,000th power.
A vivid analogy from Hoyle became a well-known cliché. "Belief in chemical evolution of the first cell from lifeless chemicals is equivalent to believing that a tornado could sweep through a junkyard and form a Boeing 747."

ok (Wow I see where I went wrong )
Dinosaur fossils. And how did they get here.
ok (AGAIN OUCH! )
Do you feel it was God who put them there?
I don't feel that way no (YIKES! I REALLY LAID INTO THE GUY DIDNT I)
Or was it the devil?
I don't "feel" that way either. ( Oh My I am so bad)
When considering what the bible says, then these fossils can't be more than a few thosand years old.
Where does the bible say anywhere what the cap is on carbon dating of fossils? ( an HONEST QUESTION to an obvious setup as old as the hills but us dumb religious folk are too stupid about)
Thats all I would like to know..
Splendid! Then I won't be expecting anymore from you as I refuse to respond to someone who gives me their word and doesn't stick to it.

lol, what's with creationists and plagiarism?
At least change a few words, even the most dishonest and idiotic of university students learn that trick. Indeed, some are tricksy little barstools. Straight c&p is just so high school-style.

Nothing to do with insight. I'm just well-trained to pick out plagiarism, and your post is full of cheesy cheato-goodness. Glad to see you do know how to use external quotes, but conveniently forget when.

Cant you handle that!
That's to bad for you. That's not my problem that's your problem you have to fix your own issues.

Only the sixth phase has been observed and documented.
the sadly comical fact is you dont know enough about either of them to tell them apart
The sadly comical result is that some modern day textbooks devote a chapter to the work of Francesco Redi and Louis Pasteur, and their success in disproving Spontaneous Generation. Then, a few chapters later, school kids are taught that Spontaneous Generation is the Origin of Life.
poor use of probability leading from a misuse to calculate the probability for a spontaneous apperance as opposed to what it really is a cumulative process using low odd variables that dont get stacked as they are each different probability calculations
Are you a victim of this to
