Well I never said I agreed with faith but do you have something that says the bible is a fake? I know you back your views on evolution from many books. Whats wrong with books?
Why do you keep using the Bible as evidence when it is a BOOK. It's a long book, written by more than one person and compiled later on, but it's still just words on pages that hold no value if the claims cannot be validated.

Any connection ever found can once again just as easily be explained as a creator using recycled parts.
The Bible is a book with no basis in verifiable fact. You can fact-check Dawkins' books. They rely on his research and he cites his references as he goes. You can trace things back to the original analysis done when the fossils were found, and how they got connected to others.
The Bible stands alone, with no verification, and tons of parts that are considered to be metaphors because they are so mythological that there is no reason or logic in it. The Bible is just a story-book to me. You taking it more seriously than scientific discourse is concerning.

As I said, the calcium is primarily for the mother's benefit. It makes it so the baby doesn't start leeching calcium from the mother's bones. Everything else in prenatals is for the baby. As I mentioned before the folic acids are for the prevention of certain complications. The mother doesn't need those folic acids, as even if she stopped anything at all the mother would still have several months of it in reserve. In fact the reason many doctors will prescribe prenatals before pregnancy is for the folic acids as the time when it is most needed is in the first few weeks when the mother may not even know she is pregnant.
Ok now your contradicting what you said earlier, which is cool cause now your agreeing with me. FYI did you not get the link I posted? On the last part you are correct, and there is actually more folic acid then calcium but I was always taught the calcium was the important part, websites are saying the folic acid is the key.
It is recommended that reproductively active females receive oral folic acid supplementation at 400 mcg/dayfor the month prior to conception to minimize neural tube defects. This vitamin is routinely provided in most adult human vitamin supplementations. Routine iron supplementation during pregnancy is not needed to prevent anemia in either the dam or fetus but may be provided in known cases of iron-deficiency anemia of the Dam

Well these things are documented. I mean I don't know how much more proof you want. I don't think that by laying them to the wastide by choice is what makes them useless.
Still, at the very best, you have speculation. It is a hypothesis that cannot be counted as a hypothesis because it is an idea that cannot be tested. Evolution can and is being tested, and has been found to be valid 100% of the time so far. Once it is proven to not be valid that 1 time, then a new theory will be created to explain why it happens differently sometimes. So far, it has not.
Watch anchient aliens.
Sure, you can claim we may have been engineered, but you have no objective proof. That is what I'm getting at. We need actual, documentable proof.
You guys this is clearly a case of me seeing the glass half empty and you seeing it half full.
You are correct, a car is not a bicycle. But they both do have tires, which suggests that they may have a common ancestor.
You get the same thing with evolution. If we all came from slime, and I'm willing to imagine this for the moment, who made the slime? Honestly its like a zillion tornadoes tearing though a zillion junk yards and assembling a zillion jet planes. It's just not going to happen.
Well I never said I agreed with faith but do you have something that says the bible is a fake? I know you back your views on evolution from many books. Whats wrong with books?
Yes bicycles and cars both have tires but those tires are VERY different, and whos to say they werent even made by differnt creators?

Well just because we breath air doen't mean that everything will be in our favor. Of course there is going to be things working good for us, it's not proof we belong here. All life as we know it breaths air. Keep in mind, as we know it. Thats not to say there isn't life elsewhere that breaths something else.
I didn't read it all but the best guess I can see is that they possibly did not include some vital things that would have been part of the eco system. It's big, real big. So big that we are able to somewhat live here on earth, with a lot of help of course.
Get used to it, we are a virus on this planet and will always be rejected.
I would be interested in knowing if measles only attacks humans.

And what I'm saying is that human's aren't supposed to drink cow's milk. Cattle has only been domesticated since the early Neolithic. Before that we didn't have access to cow's milk and lo and behold we survived. There are also plenty of people today that don't drink milk, whether voluntarily or nonvoluntarily, and they do fine without it. The reason we drink milk is because it an easily replenishable source of vitamins. However, we can get the same vitamins through other means.
I never claimed to have a list, geesh.
I'm still waiting for your reply with the complete list of all 4000 genetic defects, including the 24 that will kill us before puberty, with references. I'd even settle for a link to the complete list so you don't have to copy and paste it here.
Dude, you need to stop using absurd analogies.
1. Evolution DOES NOT SAY we came from slime.
And its the same thing with evolution. Did we start out as monkeys, dogs, cats, slime, WHAT. And even if we did start out as slime, who made the slime?
2. Evolution is NOT like a zillion tornadoes going through a zillion junk yards and assembling a "zillion" jet planes. Stop comparing mechanical inventions of humans to genetic mutations. You've repeated this nonsensical argument several times now. It is a terrible analogy. If we knew the mathematical odds of life in the universe, THEN we can speculate about the probabilities and compare it to something like that, but again, it's not evolution you are talking about. It's the origin of the universe or life. If there is some sort of creator / creators, then where did they come from? Where they created? Who created them? It's impossible to guess that kind of stuff.
And I think I have done a pretty good job. Just because you don't accept any of it is not a basis for it not being correct. I don't think old scriptures are speculative. I do know that most people miss the preface where is says its a supernatural read, and well, that just sums it up right there. In case you didn't know, that means aliens. I question evolution not being random.
3. This thread is about providing evidence to PROVE evolution wrong (or to prove any other theory on the diversity of life correct). You need to offer actual evidence instead of speculative old scripture texts and faulty assumptions about tornadoes going through junkyards. Evolution isn't random, it is based on adaptation and survival of the fittest.
I think there are to many things supporting the same direction, and if you just stepped in on this convo, you might have to back read to get caught up. I think I have done a good job explaining why things are the way that they are. Not that it's easy to undersatnd. It is big and complex and you have to know a little about a lot of things.Mother Goose was never intended to be real. It's written by a childrens publishing company, in comprehension level specificaly for kids. It's not hard to grasp. The hint is when they usually start wtih "Once upon a time" its sort of a clue. The bible does not start out this way.
Burden of proof is on you to prove it's accurate, not the other way around. You need to show evidence that suggests the supernatural events in the bible were accurate or partially accurate. Do you have anything that proves the story of Mother Goose is fake?
Here is where your dead wrong. You see they did leave some proof behind, they left us with our DNA.
The person who made them. Unfortunately the entity or group of entities that allegedly created life, have failed to comment on the situation OR leave any tangible evidence.
There is a hell of a lot more than that. Pryamids, nazda lines, hyroglifics, areas destroyed by what appears to be atomic bombs, Paintings in prymids depicting what appears to be mad scientist DNA work. There is tons more. I suggest you watch charriot ot the gods and our jaw will drop at just how much of this there is. There is no question this planet was inhabited before us.
enjoy Ancient Aliens as well and do subscribe to the idea that aliens or advanced humans did indeed visit / aide ancient cultures, but I understand it's just an interpretation of ancient myth and there isn't really any objective evidence to support it. There is the fact, however that the 1000+ ton blocks were cut with incredible accuracy and precision and hauled miles to one of the oldest known constructed sites in the world. How was this done?
Ya there is no guessing here, no speculation, I'm sure its accurate. There is no way all of the points I have been placing on the last dozen pages could all point in the same direction with the direction being wrong.
I have no idea, but i don't care how many slaves you have, they aren't hauling 1000 tons without decent technology. Perhaps the legend of Atlantis was true and it was actually advanced humans teaching ancient cultures. They were just mistaken as gods because they wore advanced looking outfits, and had technology. Either way this is all just food for thought, it's not proof and has nothing to do with evolution. I enjoy the subject, but this thread is about providing evidence to support an alternative theory to evolution to explain diversity. It's not to speculate and guess about interpretations of the bible and make assumptions. Aliens or no aliens, evolution stands as a fact until somebody can prove it wrong, or prove another theory correct.
