Not that it has any bearing on the fact this is just to again deflect attention from another question you cannot answer. I dont have a car. I dont pollute my enviroment when public transport gets me where I want to go.
Well thats good for you, so then my question would become, would you not throw trash out of your car.
I'm sure you check every reference but I haven't read anything from darwin. So whats the problem now, is this guy wrong too? Is everyone wrong until you check the reference?
So you're just taking it on someone else's authority that Darwin said something like that without actually checking the works of Darwin to see if he did and to make sure that they're using the quote in the correct context?
I'm quoting what someone else said, why have you proven them to be wrong?
You keeps saying that "Darwin said ... ", but you can't seem to provide any evidence that Darwin actually said anything like that.
Quoting someone else is not the same as making it up. If you have any doubts, which I'm sure you do, look into it. Are you worried this guy is slandering darwin?
If you didn't make it up then you should be able to provide the quote from Darwin with which of his writings it came from.
Ya I was referring to him throwing trash out his car window because he truly believes that mans ways have no impact on this planet. I like how you have selective reading and only read the parts you were interested in. It's not my fault you came in on the middle of the conversation.
It's great for you, that you don't have a car, but tell me. Would you throw trash out of the car window? Completely nonsensical and shows he didn't even read the quoted text. Good to see things are progressing here. It's like the 1000 tornados going through a junkyard sillyness.
SPECIATION HAS NEVER BEEN OBSERVED IN HUMANS, OMG!!!
Well if you knew what speciation actually was, you'd know it takes a very long time, and if we had observed it in humans, we wouldn't be humans.. But it would take hundreds of thousands of years to notice. If we survive that long, we'll be able to see in in comparing pictures from way back. Races of humans show speciation was happening. If we kept all the humans in the their original environments for another million years, they would have most likely broken off into a new species by then. We, instead, became a global society that relies on man made tools and inventions to survive, not physical attributes
I'm sure you check every reference but I haven't read anything from darwin. So whats the problem now, is this guy wrong too?
Is everyone wrong until you check the reference?
I'm quoting what someone else said, why have you proven them to be wrong?
Quoting someone else is not the same as making it up.
If you have any doubts, which I'm sure you do, look into it.
Are you worried this guy is slandering darwin?
I gave you the link I was quoting it from.
How can I look into it when you can't provide the actual quote or the source for it?
I doubt if thats the case here because this guy makes some current comparisons.
Slandering? No. But I'm willing to bet that it's an example of quote-mining. Darwin is a favorite target of creationists because they don't seem to realize that science didn't stop in the 1850's.

Below took 2 minutes to google. Why have you not tried it? Do they not cover this in google god?
True but you don't frequently hear of other species dying from unhealthy water conditions and if you do, its because man did it.
B) ANIMALS - The toxins are potent neuromuscular blocking agents in animals.
1) A characteristic animal death caused by one kind of blue-green algae (Aphanizomenon) includes
irregular respirations, spastic twitching, loss of coordination, violent tremors, gaping mouth, and
death by respiratory failure. The onset depends on species. Death may be rapid (animals die before
they leave the water) or delayed 6 to 24 hours.
2) Animals do not like to drink the contaminated water, but will if sufficiently thirsty.
C) The effects seem to be much more serious in animals than in humans. It is not known if this is due to
lower ingested doses in humans or differences in the reaction of animals to the toxin as compared to
humans.
The more complex the tool the more tools you use to make it. Even a flint arrowhead was made with another tool. Again showing your complete ignorance of the world you live in.
If your referring to our tool making hands, dont you think its a little redundant to have to make tools with tools?
I thought you were able to disconnect and look at the real picture. I told you I have no car and the reason why. Are you telling me you cannot answer your own question or you did not read my answer?
Well thats good for you, so then my question would become, would you not throw trash out of your car.
You know full well I was reffering to the list of animals we interact with which you have avoided and continue to avoid addressing.
Well if your referring to the sparrow, that was human inflicted, so it doesn't count. I want something that isn't man made.
That is your guess. Regardless 30 is a lot longer than as you maintain, dead before adulthood. If that is your answer to the bushman who drinks untreated water and does not drink milk and interacts with wildlife and enviroment you failed miserably.
Ya and Ill bet they live to be 30 and die early. But no, I guess your right, they don't need to live like we cause living till 30 is normal.
A female is capable of childbearing from around 14. Over 30 her risk of death or a failed pregnacy increases. So yet again you are wrong.
Use your head man, we only mate for 20 years, usually between 20 and 40 and your chopping 10 years off that. You know it doesn't matter to me at this point if you honestly believe a virus made us, or that god made us. Use some common sense and realize that we are an intelligent design. Do you really think our design was only suppose to live 30 years? Your cracking me up man.
Agreed for once
Well you do look at the evidence, but only what you have in your hand.
You mean to ignore any evidence to the contary and join you in La La land? No thanks to sink that low I would need a labotomy.
You need to venture out of the box and start taking a look at other life and compare things to humans minus the intelligent factor and learn for yourself what is going on. We were dumped here knowing that our intelligence would save us, and for the most part, it has, but on the flip side, we are screwed.
You wrote we are monkeys, I corrected you.
No I had it right, we were monkeys, we are currently primates, and your evolution buddys proved me wrong on this, because wiki says we are primates.
That is not an explanation. If diversity is so easy please expand and offer evidence. Asking a lot from you I know as I believe you probably break out in a rash at the very mention of it.
Well I have allready explained this a few times, but I will do it again just for you. Diversity can EASILY be explained with one or more creators, in a lab, with a equipment, and a lot of toys, and a lot of desire to make things.
What a stupid statement. I chose not to have a car because of the pollution and travel by public transport instead. How does that translate to 'I believe man has no impact on this planet.'???????
Ya I was referring to him throwing trash out his car window because he truly believes that mans ways have no impact on this planet. I like how you have selective reading and only read the parts you were interested in. It's not my fault you came in on the middle of the conversation.
As far as specieation, you need to read up more about your own evolutionism, because I thought speciation has actually been witnessed in small molecular organisms, including viruses, just not in humans.
This is a really cool quote only problem is I seriously doubt if blue green alge is the most common problem in contaminated water. At best its one of a few and I'll bet the fact that this type affects animals more than humans is also rare.
Below took 2 minutes to google. Why have you not tried it? Do they not cover this in google god?

Which also depends on the intelligence of the species. So your saying as an example that a monkey could also make a socket set but would have to go through 6 sets of tools to get to the point.
The more complex the tool the more tools you use to make it. Even a flint arrowhead was made with another tool. Again showing your complete ignorance of the world you live in.
Its all could have, would have, should have which is why I'm asking.
I thought you were able to disconnect and look at the real picture. I told you I have no car and the reason why. Are you telling me you cannot answer your own question or you did not read my answer?
Every animal you brought up that has a relationship with man was only because it was subject to manipulation from man.
You know full well I was reffering to the list of animals we interact with which you have avoided and continue to avoid addressing.
I didn't say they ALL live to be 30,
That is your guess. Regardless 30 is a lot longer than as you maintain, dead before adulthood. If that is your answer to the bushman who drinks untreated water and does not drink milk and interacts with wildlife and enviroment you failed miserably.
And you once again win the booby prize for totaly missing the point. Your like so beneath this that you can't even grasp whats going on. I'll spell it out for you. Don't you think its a little weird that we only mate in those few years of our lives, while other species are a lot more active through out there life span?
A female is capable of childbearing from around 14. Over 30 her risk of death or a failed pregnacy increases. So yet again you are wrong.
Please do not try to lecture me on common sense when you show such a complete lack of any. Common or otherwise.
You must be the "If I can't see it" then it can't be evol monkey.
Agreed for once
It wasn't my suggestion but I can agree that one could help at this point.
You mean to ignore any evidence to the contary and join you in La La land? No thanks to sink that low I would need a labotomy.
No you were saying we are NOT primates, I was correcting you.
You wrote we are monkeys, I corrected you.
Not at all, its a lot easier to visualize then the grand illusion of theorys that support evolutionism.
That is not an explanation. If diversity is so easy please expand and offer evidence. Asking a lot from you I know as I believe you probably break out in a rash at the very mention of it.
Oh I see so if you take the bus and choose to throw trash out the window its ok because your still helping the enviroment due to using the bus.
What a stupid statement. I chose not to have a car because of the pollution and travel by public transport instead. How does that translate to 'I believe man has no impact on this planet.'???????
You then lecture Barcs on selective reading. Deluded is not a strong enough description of you.
This has creator all over it. Unless evolutiionists want to step up at this point and say that evolutionism is smart enough to make motors.

Says it all. How does a cell mutation form into a fully functioning Motor ?
Really is that so. Your problem here is that you stated:
This is a really cool quote only problem is I seriously doubt if blue green alge is the most common problem in contaminated water. At best its one of a few and I'll bet the fact that this type affects animals more than humans is also rare.
My answer was to that. So again a 2 minute google showed you to be incorrect. It shows that only humans cant drink untreated water is incorrect. Also that man is responsible for it every time. So in short, you are wrong again.
True but you don't frequently hear of other species dying from unhealthy water conditions and if you do, its because man did it.
So you are wrong again and so bring in a straw man to deflect on how wrong your are. You said:
Which also depends on the intelligence of the species. So your saying as an example that a monkey could also make a socket set but would have to go through 6 sets of tools to get to the point.
My answer was correct and addressed your comment. Yours as usual does not.
If your referring to our tool making hands, dont you think its a little redundant to have to make tools with tools?
But you seem willing to make leaps of faith to get to 'we are not from here.' but cannot use logic to determine my answer regarding littering. Why is that?
Its all could have, would have, should have which is why I'm asking.
No. Your original statement was:
Every animal you brought up that has a relationship with man was only because it was subject to manipulation from man.
My response and list showed you were wrong yet again.
Why is it that we have no natural interaction with the other species from day one,
Your sqirming again. You wrote:
I didn't say they ALL live to be 30,
Adding ALL does not change your original statement. You also have blanked the fact that the bushman lives without modern medicine, processed food, water and milk. You seem totally unwilling to address this even though it directly opposes your stance that without those things humans would die before adulthood. Why?
Ya and Ill bet they live to be 30 and die early.
You had better hold onto that booby prize. Our life span is a lot longer than many of the other species. At the end of our LONG fertile period and into old age our society looks after our ederly.
And you once again win the booby prize for totaly missing the point. Your like so beneath this that you can't even grasp whats going on. I'll spell it out for you. Don't you think its a little weird that we only mate in those few years of our lives, while other species are a lot more active through out there life span?
Try to get it right. I am the 'If you can show no evidence then its just a story monkey'
You must be the "If I can't see it" then it can't be evol monkey.
I bet you can
It wasn't my suggestion but I can agree that one could help at this point.
How idiotic are you?
No you were saying we are NOT primates, I was correcting you.
Sorry you answered my previous point. You are that idiotic. Thanks.
Not at all, its a lot easier to visualize then the grand illusion of theorys that support evolutionism.
Are you really as dense as you are appearing?
