I know, its just that their definitions werent good enough to make it into dictionarys .
And now you demonstrate again your inability to read. Man, Myth & Magic is a compilation from many authors as stated in the links info. Witch craft is based wait for it .......... on a religious belief.
So it is based on many peoples definition of supernatural. People that have spent over 30 years studying the supernatural
So what ?? magic might be paranormal but that doesn't mean its supernatural.
Again you cant read and cannot be honest as in the very same post I gave you another defintion
Magic (supernatural)
Why do you persist in lying, I told you before I had shared one from a different person on a blog, that was claiming animals seem to know what food to look for instinctivly. And there is pattern in every diet I have looked up, and as for target food itself I allready told you abalone is a good one.
And yet you cannot find anything that backs up target food fantasy
Your like the icon of not accepting dictionary terms.
The hell you arnt.
Anyone with half a brain knows what in the wild means.
Nope. All I asked you to do is put your use of it into context. You dont understand context either.
Yep and thats the ONLY definition out of 8 different ones that doesn't. So which ones do you think are correct? The one out of eight that supports your deluded fantasy?
That is another post of mine you ignored.
I have allready posted pages of different sources for the definition natural. Like I have told you before I'm not going to play the colin repeat game with you, you are welcome to review back and get them yourself
Then you have no objections to this one then
Natural
Strangely I don’t find anywhere anything where it says Natural = not to do with man
I love how you totally skipped over the most important one called hypothesis. See how dishonest you are.
Overarching overall; all-encompassing ⇒ an overarching concept
Unifies To make into or become a unit; consolidate.
Plurality one of the "twelve pure concepts of the understanding" proposed by Kant in his Critique of Pure Reason
the most votes for any choice in an election, but not necessarily a majority
So your link is telling you that the theory of evolution unites all the biological sciences with one single concept that is overwhelmingly accepted as true
It is telling you that as far as science is concerned this is as close to a fact as you can get within science
So again you fail to prove anything other than your total and wilful ignorance on a subject you show no ability to understand.
Yes, but in order to suggest the deleterious rate is too high they'd have to map genomes of both the parents and offspring.
I would seriously question any theory thats 150 years in the making. Sounds more to me like moving goal posts around a few times.
Evolution is certainly no a fact, as mentioned in this evolution website...
Trust me, if you have been working on it for 150 years, and its still full of holes, which it is, big holes you can fall in, it's certainly not a fact.
What this means is that first of all its not a scientific fact, and as a whole has not been proven.
In short, there are sections of evolution that have never been proven, therefore you cant claim it to be a fact.
If you want to say the theory exists, thats a fact, if you want to say the theory is a proven fact, thats a lie. /quote]
Learn what theory means in science. Learn the difference between proof and evidence.
Telling me that I'm wrong is not showing me that I'm wrong, I look to something a little more tangible called evidence, and when it comes to evolution its pretty thin.
You are so off the mark in so many ways I continue to recommend you take a course when you get to high school. I've proved you wrong about animals experimenting with food.
Sounds more like war to me.
Maybe you need to read the bible. It is full of witchcraft although you like to use other words. It's still witchcraft.
You seem to forget, we don't know everything, but most evolutionists are content with believing we do.
Straw man argument. No one made that claims. Scientists would never do that. Creationists have in lectures and they say that while thumping on their bibles. I've seen it several times.
edit on 25-1-2013 by stereologist because: (no reason given)
So what ?? magic might be paranormal but that doesn't mean its supernatural.
Your dishonesty is showing again, trying to pass off words that aren't even related to each other. /quote]
Continued use of straw man arguments is dishonest.
Back to the issue at hand. No science has been offered at all that shows evolution wrong. After 150 years evolution is backed up by new discoveries every year.

err...they did.
you said the deleterious mutation rate wasn't as high as i was claiming, and said the paper i provided was outdated. i then provide a to-date paper that arrived at a deleterious mutation rate of 4.2 (falling between 3.0 and 5.0, the numbers i previously gave) and you reject it. it's peer reviewed, done by evolutionists, and current.
but it's obviously wrong, because it contradicts evolution, right?
deleterious mutations are more dangerous to evolution in the long run because most of them aren't expressed as harmful. they remove information from the genome without any outward signs, and so there are no real ways for natural selection to deal with them.
you claim that you had debunked this, but all you're saying is "it can't be true". it is the nail in the coffin for evolution. evolution simply cannot happen, but you're not willing to accept that.
It says that you would need to map SEVERAL genomes, really hundreds to thousands, not just a few.
I didn't reject it, I said that the rates didn't prove evolution wrong. If you read my whole response, you'd know that. That is YOUR conclusion that is loosely based on the study, NOT what the study itself concludes.
There are many kinds of mutations. They aren't all deleterious.
You also have to realize that information is ADDED to the genome as well.
When did I say that? All I'm saying is the paper warrants further study, including mapping MORE genomes from MORE cultures. It doesn't disprove evolution. If you could refer me to a direct quote in the study that says this proves evolution wrong, I'll concede this point to you, but that fact is the quote does not exist, because it is based on a poor understanding of genetics and cherry picking things just because you want it to be true.
Even if selection mostly occurs in the germline, it is difficult to envisage how such a high load could be tolerated by hominid populations, which have very low reproductive rates.
Evolution = genetic mutations sorted by natural selection. This study is evidence FOR evolution if anything. That's the hilarious part.
Your answer is again pathetic. They made it into an encyclopaedia on the subject so again all you have in reply is childish denial and dishonesty. No wonder you avoided answering it when I originally posted it.
I know, its just that their definitions werent good enough to make it into dictionarys
The definition says supernatural so your answer is again a pathetic attempt to deflect and dishonest as usual.
So what ?? magic might be paranormal but that doesn't mean its supernatural.
And that again displays you have no idea what constitutes proof or evidence. Now explain what you mean by 'instinctively’.
Why do you persist in lying, I told you before I had shared one from a different person on a blog, that was claiming animals seem to know what food to look for instinctivly.
A diet is nothing more than a list unless you know what you are looking at and you clearly do not. This has been clearly shown by many posters.
And there is pattern in every diet I have looked up, and as for target food itself I allready told you abalone is a good one.
You prove that statement to be incorrect as usual as you dont know what it means yet fit your criteria.
Anyone with half a brain knows what in the wild means.
Nope. You claimed they all do but will only offer a cherry picked quote from a site you refuse to link too. As for eight other sites where are they? Why do you not refer to them if you are aware there is a problem with the only link you will supply?
Yep and thats the ONLY definition out of 8 different ones that doesn't. So which ones do you think are correct? The one out of eight that supports your deluded fantasy?

So again you fail to prove anything other than your total and wilful ignorance on a subject you show no ability to understand.
But you make the complete opposite claim on another thread in This Post
It would appear that none of us are from here, just like the bible claims.
Before you claim you were only referring to humans in This Post in answer to:
Well also like it states in the bible, earth is not our home and none of the things from our home was brought here. Which means none of the food we eat was intended for us.
and further in This post in answer to:
That depends on whether or not their food was brought her along with them. Obviously the ant and anteater are an example and kelp and the abalone.
So it is clear that you are defending your claim that you say the bible clearly supports. That no one is from here denying that you have before being shown conflicted always claimed the opposite as you did on the other thread.
If a natural disaster wiped things out like pointed out in the bible, it would depend on whether or not all of it was destroyed. As far as the bacteria and organisims, its hard to know.
Only problem is that evolution is in part a hypothesis...
Some theories have been around longer than that. Please learn something.
volution, the overarching concept that unifies the biological sciences, in fact embraces a plurality of theories and hypotheses.
It's not a scientific theory, and its not been proven. No one has ever even proven that a species can change into another species.
Evolution is a fact. There are theories to explain the fact of evolution.
You mean how you don't understand, or don't want to understand the term hypothesis.
It seems you do not understand the meaning of theory in science just as you do not understand other terms.
There is no blunder when I say that no one has ever witnessed a species changing into another species.
Here you blunder again. Take a course when you get to high school.
But whitout proof its a fact in your mind.
You continue to not understand basic terms. Theories explain facts. Evolution is a fact. There are theories explaining the fact of evolution. There are theories of evolution. They explain the fact of evolution.
Your crazy colin, you are so far from the truth. You refuse to accept the definitions that are obvious by turning and looking for opinions through books. How lame and dishonest is that.
Your answer is again pathetic. They made it into an encyclopaedia on the subject so again all you have in reply is childish denial and dishonesty. No wonder you avoided answering it when I originally posted it.
Your book in incorrect opinion is NOT a dictionary.
The definition says supernatural so your answer is again a pathetic attempt to deflect and dishonest as usual.
Well then apparently you haven't been paying attention. The whole purpose behind Target Food is that all species have an instinct to be directed to a target food.
And that again displays you have no idea what constitutes proof or evidence. Now explain what you mean by 'instinctively’.
ya but who made the list, and why do they always choose the same list.
A diet is nothing more than a list unless you know what you are looking at and you clearly do not. This has been clearly shown by many posters.
Actually you proved that statment to be false.
You prove that statement to be incorrect as usual as you dont know what it means yet fit your criteria.
Why are they classified as wild birds.
I have many types of birds in my garden that forage for food, nest and roost there, foxes and the occasional deer. Not to mention insects worms, slugs and snails frogs,toads and newts. The birds are classified as 'WILD BIRDS'. There is even a hawk that hunts them and a heron that tries to catch the fish in my pond. So my garden can in this context be looked at as 'IN THE WILD'.
In the wild is in the wild, there is no context that is needed.
We also have many plants that we cultivate and so at the same time my garden can be classified as an area under cultivation. So it is both and this is why I asked you to put your use of ‘IN THE WILD’ into context. You failed.
You do not understand what context is and appear too uneducated to be able to understand the distinctions.
Sure but because YOUR the one picking one definition from eight possible sources, it appears more that YOU are the one cherry picking.
Nope. You claimed they all do but will only offer a cherry picked quote from a site you refuse to link too. As for eight other sites where are they? Why do you not refer to them if you are aware there is a problem with the only link you will supply?
The ant eater and ants obviously come from the same place.
Please explain these two statements:
On page 10 This Post You made the claim in answer to:
'His favourite animal is the ant eater yet his very own criteria means the ant and therefore the anteater cannot be from here if he were correct.
Yes earth is not our home, we are not from here.
But you make the complete opposite claim on another thread in This Post
You lack insight, if the food was also brought down here, then yes they would have their target food.
Before you claim you were only referring to humans in This Post in answer to:
'Is that so. So nothing on this planet has this mythical 'Target Food'. You no doubt will tell another lie to cover your mistake but you can’t escape you claim the bible says nothing is from here. So nothing is natural, native to this planet. No target food then.'
Things that can live in the air, is hard to say if a natural disaster would wipe them out, I guess it all depends on the disaster.
So it is clear that you are defending your claim that you say the bible clearly supports. That no one is from here denying that you have before being shown conflicted always claimed the opposite as you did on the other thread.
This is just one of many lies I have caught you out in. Please explain the above and please use honesty when replying not your usual lies
You are in no position to call anyone crazy. You also display you do not understand the word truth, it is yet another concept that is alien to you.
Your crazy colin, you are so far from the truth.
And you come to that conclusion whilst you are rejecting definitions and rejecting examples from an encyclopaedia that shows supernatural and magic to be the same thing.
You refuse to accept the definitions that are obvious by turning and looking for opinions through books. How lame and dishonest is that.
No the link to the WIKI DEFINITION appears to be another wiki source you deny because it shows you to be completely wrong. You have no integrity at all
Your book in incorrect opinion is NOT a dictionary.
I asked you to explain what you think instinctively means not give me your uninformed opinion on target food fantasy. So do that.
Well then apparently you haven't been paying attention. The whole purpose behind Target Food is that all species have an instinct to be directed to a target food.
Who cares, it is a list. The point I made was: A diet is nothing more than a list unless you know what you are looking at and you clearly do not. This has been clearly shown by many posters and by your posts.
ya but who made the list, and why do they always choose the same list.
They are listed in the book of British Wild Birds.
Why are they classified as wild birds.
Proving without doubt you do not understand the importance of context
In the wild is in the wild, there is no context that is needed.
Yet again you accuse me of not accepting information you present from a source you won’t or can’t provide a link to and refuse to provide a link to any of the other 8 sources you claim say the same thing also not linked to.
Sure but because YOUR the one picking one definition from eight possible sources, it appears more that YOU are the one cherry picking.
You maintain that nothing man does on this planet is natural because he is not from here. Now you admit that the ant eater and the ant are also not from here so nothing they do on this planet can be considered natural
The ant eater and ants obviously come from the same place.
The point again is you are claiming that man is not from here but do not mention you now say nothing else is either. You go on to preach your target food sermon continuing to omit that piece of information whilst claiming only man is not natural. That is deception. A dishonest representation and is commonly known as lying.
Yes earth is not our home, we are not from here.
If the food was brought here according to your so called logic it is not from earth and so is artificial. Not natural, no longer can be considered target food by your own criteria.
You lack insight, if the food was also brought down here, then yes they would have their target food.
If your poorly formed reply is meant to mean bacteria may remain then we come back to another point I made that you did not answer. When all other life was brought to earth they would have no defence to the bacteria and germs of this planet.
Things that can live in the air, is hard to say if a natural disaster would wipe them out, I guess it all depends on the disaster.
Your faith has to many holes in it.
You are in no position to call anyone crazy. You also display you do not understand the word truth, it is yet another concept that is alien to you.
You clearly don't know how to read, you better go back and read it again. It says paranormal and magic, not supernatural your blind.
And you come to that conclusion whilst you are rejecting definitions and rejecting examples from an encyclopaedia that shows supernatural and magic to be the same thing.
At least I have inegrity knowing the difference between magic, paranormal and the supernatural.
No the link to the WIKI DEFINITION appears to be another wiki source you deny because it shows you to be completely wrong. You have no integrity at all
That is my explanation and how its explained in Target Food.
I asked you to explain what you think instinctively means not give me your uninformed opinion on target food fantasy. So do that.
I don't mean who observed the list, I mean who wrote it for the species.
Who cares, it is a list. The point I made was: A diet is nothing more than a list unless you know what you are looking at and you clearly do not. This has been clearly shown by many posters and by your posts.
I'm shocked that you finally acknowledge the word wild.
They are listed in the book of British Wild Birds.
That is a fully supported sentance, dont hurt yourself.
Proving without doubt you do not understand the importance of context
I allready shared those links at one time, I'm not going to play the repeat game with you.
Yet again you accuse me of not accepting information you present from a source you won’t or can’t provide a link to and refuse to provide a link to any of the other 8 sources you claim say the same thing also not linked to.
I chose all eight that I could find, and you only accepted one that feeds into your delusional fantasy.
That is a very dishonest way to conduct a discussion and very deceitful when calling someone a liar. I can only conclude my suspicions are correct and you only cherry pick what you believe supports you. That FYI is an example of evidence that implicates you as dishonest
Well it would help if I didn't have to keep telling you the same thing over and over again.
I also made two posts and I don’t appreciate you trying to lose the information from either by confusing the issues and mixing the two separate posts. I have asked you not to do this in the past as it is another dishonest tactic you employ. Don’t do it again
I explained this allready to you that anteaters are not sentient beings, as the definition only excludes humans. I didn't write the definition so get over it, but best of all learn from it.
You maintain that nothing man does on this planet is natural because he is not from here. Now you admit that the ant eater and the ant are also not from here so nothing they do on this planet can be considered natural
We are only aware of our own doings, and its assumed that all life is from here, even man, that doesn't mean they are correct.
The point again is you are claiming that man is not from here but do not mention you now say nothing else is either. You go on to preach your target food sermon continuing to omit that piece of information whilst claiming only man is not natural. That is deception. A dishonest representation and is commonly known as lying.
Again it all depends on if any of the food for any of the life was also brought here.
If the food was brought here according to your so called logic it is not from earth and so is artificial. Not natural, no longer can be considered target food by your own criteria.
This means nothing on this planet has a target food and you have nothing to support you that says different.
Which is why man usually takes vaccines and normal medical intervention through out life.
If your poorly formed reply is meant to mean bacteria may remain then we come back to another point I made that you did not answer. When all other life was brought to earth they would have no defence to the bacteria and germs of this planet.
According to Pye, but I don't know that its every living person wouldn't live past puberty, I never said that.
You have used this argument when you made claims that no human would live past puberty if not for medical intervention and due to your new revelation this would also apply to every other animal. Why do we not see this in every animal because you have claimed many times they do not suffer with illness?
Well if a species did have target food, it would be healty.
Don’t tell me they are healthy because they have target food as I have already shown using your criteria that they don’t.
Childishly pathetic. Shouldn’t you have end your reply with ner ner nan rer ner.
Your faith has to many holes in it.
You clearly only read what you want to see. Magic (paranormal)
You clearly don't know how to read, you better go back and read it again. It says paranormal and magic, not supernatural your blind.
Clearly it says supernatural. Your ignorance is beyond a joke.
Magic is the art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation, ceremony, ritual, the casting of spells or various other techniques that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature
You obviously don’t even when given links that tell you just that.
At least I have inegrity knowing the difference between magic, paranormal and the supernatural.
So you don’t know what instinctively means either. Tragic
That is my explanation and how its explained in Target Food
Nope. Target food is just a fantasy you are too weak to admit is just that. Evolution is not a belief and again you display you cannot tell the difference. Beyond tragic.
And you keep claiming that Target Food is not real as there is no proof, so what, there is no proof of evolution and plenty of people believe in it.
When do you plan on sharing it with others as there has been nothing yet.
The only difference is there is actually proof in Target Food.
I know what you were implying. Observations in the field and the theory of evolution gives you the answer that no one wrote it and it is not fixed as you claim from your personal ignorance.
I don't mean who observed the list, I mean who wrote it for the species.
I never rejected the word wild. Again I asked you to put into context what you meant by 'IN THE WILD'. You have proved countless times this is beyond your ability to comprehend. I gave you another example explaining it which has apparently gone over your head as you have not mentioned it. Your answer is beyond feeble
I'm shocked that you finally acknowledge the word wild.
Yeah, right. So I provided you a link that you refuse to accept despite your claim that they all support you. I think I have enough evidence to prove that you indeed provided a broken link to hide the fact you cherry pick from it if in fact it even exists. Tragically dishonest.
I allready shared those links at one time, I'm not going to play the repeat game with you.
You could prove me wrong by simply posting them but you refuse. Indicates you are a liar to me. You could comment on the one I provided but choose to ignore it confirming you are a liar.
I chose all eight that I could find, and you only accepted one that feeds into your delusional fantasy.
You mean refusing to answer my questions over and over again just as you have done in your post that I am replying to.
Well it would help if I didn't have to keep telling you the same thing over and over again.
Funny a few pages back you claimed animals are sentient beings. Still, what definition?
I explained this allready to you that anteaters are not sentient beings, as the definition only excludes humans. I didn't write the definition so get over it, but best of all learn from it.
Nope. You were claiming that this is clearly written in the bible. You stated
We are only aware of our own doings, and its assumed that all life is from here, even man, that doesn't mean they are correct.
So your answer as usual does not address my question. Why did you represent man as being the only creature on earth that is not natural when you claim due to the bible to know that no animals are natural by your own often stated criteria?
It would appear that none of us are from here, just like the bible claims.
Nope, not nearly good enough. Anything that was brought to earth is, by your criteria not natural. I'll go further you claim everything man does is not natural because he uses technology.
Again it all depends on if any of the food for any of the life was also brought here.
Nope. I have already established using your criteria and argument that ALL animals face exactly the same things we do as none of us are from this planet and therefore according to you cannot be natural. Why do animals not suffer the same or need the medical intervention throughout their lives you claim man does.
Which is why man usually takes vaccines and normal medical intervention through out life.
The hell you didn’t. Remember pages about the bushman? Still that changes nothing. Again (and the bible says it’s true) nothing is from here (your words)so nothing is natural so why do animals not suffer the same as man. Why do they live past puberty without medical intervention?
According to Pye, but I don't know that its every living person wouldn't live past puberty, I never said that.
But by your own criteria nothing on this planet does so they are not healthy. I have never seen pictures of Lions and zebra's queuing at a clinic for their shots. Explain how they live past puberty.
Well if a species did have target food, it would be healty.
