Evolutionists BTFO 4 YEARS AGO
http://www.evolutionnews.org/2012/12/peer-reviewed_s_1067421.html
We have only ever observed micro-evolution.
We can't explain why Chimpanzee's are here.
Evolution requires FAITH.
Why are you still an evolutionist?

>>56940933
Explain this then dumbass
>>56940933
Nobody likes to admit that there should be millions upon millions of remains of all the in-between phases of the evolution of man.
Too bad so many people have been brainwashed by the evolutionary theory when they were in school to look at this simple fact.
Ever heard of MRSA?

Read my second link.
It contains several quotes from many evolutionists, including Darwin himself, Richard Dawkins, Stephan J Gould, and many others.
The one from Richard Dawkins is going to break you down.
Gonna end the thread quick, here.
>Evolution does not wipe out the species it split from necessarily
>Evolutionary trees split several times, with some branches dying off, and some splitting even more
>Dogs and cats are heavily related
>Humans and pigs are heavily related
>We have more in common, genetically, with pigs than with do with chimps, which is why pig body parts can be transplanted into humans, like the heart, intestines, and stomach.
>>56941063
God doesn't disprove evolution in any way whatsoever. Quit projecting.
If anything, it further reinforces the belief that a deity or something along those line started life as the origin of life is both entropically and enthalpically unfavourable.
>>56941158
In my second link many evolutionists, openly state this.
There is an interesting quote from Richard Dawkins in it as well.
The Atheist kiddies sure will love it.
>>56940933

>>56941204
Read my second link.
Has quotes from Darwin himself, Richard Dawkins, Stephan J Gould, and many others.
All evolutionists that would have laughed at you for saying that, as if you thought it proved anything.
>>56941158
>Nobody likes to admit that there should be millions upon millions of remains of all the in-between phases of the evolution of man.
Fossilization requires a very specific and rare set of circumstances, ya fuckin' dingus.
i started to type out an explanation
but nevermind
you're a fucking idiot

Shit nigga, most of the retarded fundies I've seen come from the UK. Anglicans are the most retarded of the Christians. Well, maybe it's the Scotts or the Welsh. Probably those tards.
>>56941333
Guess what, anon's words are almost an exact quote of Stephen Jay Gould, Professor of Geology and Paleontology at Harvard University, he once wrote the following about the lack of transitional forms…
“The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualistic accounts of evolution.”
Also
Evolutionist Stephen M. Stanley of Johns Hopkins University has also commented on the stunning lack of transitional forms in the fossil record…
“In fact, the fossil record does not convincingly document a single transition from one species to another.”
You just proved what anon said is absolutely true.
YOU ARE BRAIN WASHED
>>56941333

>>56941367

Especially when they teach at Harvard and John Hopkins. Yet you think you know anything about what evolution actually states.

Small mutations in each generation over a million years will inevitably lead to larger mutations. You'd have to be legitimately disabled to somehow miss this fact.

>Gould closed his article with:
>Evolution is a theory of organic change, but it does not imply, as many people assume, that ceaseless flux is the irreducible state of nature and that structure is but a temporary incarnation of the moment. Change is more often a rapid transition between stable states than a continuous transformation at slow and steady rates. We live in a world of structure and legitimate distinction. Species are the units of nature's morphology.

But you're the creationist. Why would you cite an evolutionist website in disfavor of your own stance?
It is as though they [fossils] were just planted there, without any evolutionary history. Needless to say this appearance of sudden planting has delighted creationists...Both schools of thought (Punctuationists and Gradualists) despise so-called scientific creationists equally, and both agree that the major gaps are real, that they are true imperfections in the fossil record. The only alternative explanation of the sudden appearance of so many complex animal types in the Cambrian era is divine creation and (we) both reject this alternative. (Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, [New York, NY: W.W. Norton & Company, 1996], 229-230)
>>56941737
>God.
Oh, so you're one of those idiots who thinks that God and evolution have to be mutually exclusive. Even the Catholic church agrees that evolution happened and was, in their opinion, the mechanism used to create us.
I get the feeling that if you posted this on /sci/ or /an/ you'd be laughed at or ignored.
>>56941771
Because people seem to believe evolution is a fact.
Especially on /b/, /pol/ is slightly more knowledgeable.
Also, many of the quotes in the second article I posted are from Evolutionists that teach at Harvard and John Hopkins, as well as Richard Dawkins.
Who says this in his book,
It is as though they [fossils] were just planted there, without any evolutionary history.

(Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, [New York, NY: W.W. Norton & Company, 1996], 229-230)
Dawkins openly admits that the only explanation for the gaps in the fossil record is divine creation. But that he rejects the idea.
>>56941832
It wasn't, and the Catholic Church didn't, the scum ridden pope appointed by Satan himself said it.
No creationist agrees with what the pope said.

It is a fact. Evolution means change over time, things do change over time.
>Dawkins openly admits that the only explanation for the gaps in the fossil record is divine creation. But that he rejects the idea.
hehe, no he doesn't. You cite the sources as if nobody would look. Either you don't read the full source or you're a bad troll.
"While it can be gleaned from this quote, it needs to be pointed out specifically that this is a discussion of Dawkins' disagreements with Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge over Punctuated Equilibrium and Dawkins is here discussing the fact that Gould and Eldredge would agree with him that the "sudden appearance" of animals in the Cambrian Explosion is really the result of the imperfections of the fossil record.
The part in the ellipsis is an explanation for this, as follows:
"Evolutionists of all stripes believe, however, that this really does represent a very large gap in the fossil record, a gap that is simply due to the fact that, for some reason, very few fossils have lasted from periods before about 600 million years ago. One good reason might be that many of these animals had only soft parts to their bodies: no shells or bones to fossilize. If you are a creationist you may think that this is special pleading. My point here is that, when we are talking about gaps of this magnitude, there is no difference whatever in the interpretations of 'punctuationists' and 'gradualists'."

Evolution is a fucking pseudoscientific lie.
Evolutionists claim that 'evolving' happens everyday and throughout several thousands/millions of years and yet, last I checked, there's still monkeys.
Oh I'm sorry, didn't we evolve from them? Surely they wouldn't still be here would they?
>muh common ancestor

>>56942880
>Baseless rhetoric.
Are you trolling or just dumb? I'm going with both.
That's one of the parts of evolution that actually does make sense.
>>56940933
Your picture is idiotic because it presents evolution as a linear progression. There were a bunch of hominids that interbred. Do you really think niggers in africa are direct ancestors to white people?
>>56943026
He never said from ones that currently exist.
He just said from primeapes, which is true.
And that they are still here, which is true.
Biggest problem with these threads is that people like OP literally have no idea what evolution is, they don't know anything about genes, phenotypes,phylogenetic shift etc......
The worst type of ignorance is thinking you know something but its actually based on lack of understanding.

>>56943158
>he never said from ones that currently exist
If they currently exist, then they are still here, "which is true" according to you. And if we evolved from them, then why are they still here... which is what he said.
And this is not what evolution says at all, which is why he and you are evidently uneducated on this.

And the results of macro-evolution, yeah. It happens over millions of years, it's obviously not something you can see happening in front of you. It's like tectonic plates shifting.

Yeah we can. They evolved along their own branch from the same common ancestor as us.

Not really, but let's say it's true. Then so would creationism, so where's the problem?

It's not about believing in science, we all aren't Richard Dawkins, we just think that religious explanation is much more flawed than evolution. I doubt politicians and people here understand evolution like they should, they learned from television, but it still makes more logical sense than god creating it all on flat earth 6000 years ago.
your pic is full of lies. homo sapien has existed for a couple hundred thousand years not 80k years. about 240k to be exact.
other primate species existed side by side with homo sapien for a time before they were probably wiped out by homo sapien through a number of different possible exchanges. viral contamination through mass migration, interbreeding and war. maybe all of the above

>a planet miraculously met all of the very STRICT conditions for carbon based life to develop
There have been a lot of planets over the last ~14 billion years, anon. It's not really a miracle if one happens to meet the conditions and the rest are just rocks.
Religion is a form of control. You must obey these rules and teachings or you go to hell. You must also give your money to the church and tell them all of your secrets... I mean sins.
Evolution is a THEORY to explain how we came to be.
The only reason why people obsess over this shit is because religion is such a powerful tool that those in power don't want to lose control over it. They lose too much by doing so.
If religion was all about peace and loving, and if people were happy with others believing in different deities, and if there weren't any people profiting from it (churches, and other institutions), then there wouldn't be an issue.
You can simply say...
God created the world in such a way that things evolve. I don't see a problem with this. It actually fits with the simulation theory.
tl;dr
With religion you lose unless you're part of the institutions that directly benefit from it.

Christian here.
I see that your source is preaching the devil's gospel.
If you don't know what that is you better listen.
Modern eschatology is the devil's gospel. It perpetually teaches that the end times will soon be upon us, and it has been doing this for the past 100 years.
Only in the last century did people start believing that Revelations depicted future events.
When Christ said "it is accomplished" the work was done. He did the work to bring a better life to us all. God already promised not to destroy the world again after the great flood.
So people like you, who support this sort of end times fatalism are actually preaching the devil's gospel.
For only he would be so bold as to claim that the work of Christ on the cross was inadequate. Only he would deceive the world into thinking that God would break his promise and allow the world to be destroyed again.
Also, there is no conflict between God and science. All science, knowledge, art and music is a gift from a loving God who cares about us and wants us to prosper.

>>56944899
have you ever thrown something and had it land somewhere that would have been near-impossible to do on purpose? Where if you tried to do it again, you might try a 1000 times and never do it?
Well, if each of those attempts were a universe, and only one of those universes developed life, would the life in that universe know about the other universes where it wouldn't work out?
Let's say you threw an envelope, and it lands perfectly wedged in the crack of the handle of your refrigerator, and some tiny microbial beings develop on it due to the organic shit occasionally creeping out of your disgusting fridge (which wouldnt happen on the floor or the counter or wherever else), and they become civilized and scientific, and they look at their envelope and wonder at the chances of this ever happening randomly. "What are the odds that our envelope would ever just happen to exist right in this one crack in the side of this entire refrigerator, where the gases of life emit from the white beyond, when in any other spot in the observable kitchenverse, we wouldn't have formed? Of course we were placed here by a divine being!"
Which would technically be true, because you threw the envelope, but what if the envelope fell from a cabinet higher up when your bag of mail came loose and it all fell out? And they can't see the other envelopes because they're too far away or have since been picked up or their telescopes only see out to 3 feet or whatever?

There are several hypotheses as to how the universe expanded from the singularity that it is commonly perceived to have been prior to the big bang. But as for what it was exactly that caused the singularity to expand, we most likely won't ever know. But I know, for a fact, that making up some deity as an answer is a silly primal thing to do.

For Christ himself demonstrated the measurable power of faith when he said we would have faith that moves mountains. Well if your faith is corrupted and causes you to believe that the world is going to end horribly for everyone, that's what you will get.

>>56945967
>The conclusion of this lecture is that the universe has not existed forever. Rather, the universe, and time itself, had a beginning in the Big Bang, about 15 billion years ago. The beginning of real time, would have been a singularity, at which the laws of physics would have broken down. Nevertheless, the way the universe began would have been determined by the laws of physics, if the universe satisfied the no boundary condition. This says that in the imaginary time direction, space-time is finite in extent, but doesn't have any boundary or edge. The predictions of the no boundary proposal seem to agree with observation. The no boundary hypothesis also predicts that the universe will eventually collapse again. However, the contracting phase, will not have the opposite arrow of time, to the expanding phase.

There's nothing evil about suffering *at all*. There's evil in people *CAUSING* suffering amongst eachother, because that's sinful. But evil is sin and nothing else. It's only retard secularists who try to conflate terms in a completely failed attempt at posturing, since the argument *does not* refute the theistic position on its own grounds, but only on the grounds of people who already aren't on board with the position.

The problem with this defense is the assumption that evil can't be avoided without imposing on someone's free will. If I make a pot out of clay and you throw it at a wall and it breaks, my free will wasn't affected in any way but my efforts were stymied and I haven't reached my intended result.

It's not a fallacy. Proving that something cannot exist is entirely possible and a large part of the basis of mathematics. Read Euclid if you want some easily understood examples of this.

The Bible indicates that the earth is round. Consider Isaiah 40:22 which mentions the “circle of the earth.” This description is certainly fitting—particularly when the earth is viewed from space; the earth always appears as a circle since it is round.
Another verse that indicates the spherical nature of our planet is Job 26:10. This verse teaches that God has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters at the boundary of light and darkness. This boundary between light and darkness (day and night) is called the “terminator” since the light stops or “terminates” there. Someone standing on the terminator would be experiencing either a sunrise or a sunset; they are going from day to night or from night to day. The terminator is always a circle, because the earth is round.

But an absolute fail in a philosophical question. By letting natural disasters happen, or even causing them in many instances in the bible. God is inflicting suffering amongst his own creations. And is therefore evil.
If god is the creator of all, and knows all. There is no free will. And god created murderers knowing they'd murder, and rapists knowing they'd rape.

I'm glad you asked, it actually does.
The Bible often uses the “stars of heaven” to represent an extremely large quantity. Genesis 22:17 teaches that God would multiply Abraham’s descendants “"as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is on the sea shore."” Genesis 32:12 makes it clear that this represents a number which is uncountable by humans: “"the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude."”2 These are excellent analogies. Clearly the sand of the sea and the stars in the universe cannot be counted exactly by humans, though of course, they can be roughly estimated. Interestingly, the two quantities come out to about the same order of magnitude: 1022, or ten billion trillion, give or take a factor of ten or so.3 (For other verses using stars as an illustration of large numbers, see Deuteronomy 1:10 and 10:22.)
It was not always believed that the stars were so numerous. The astronomer Claudius Ptolemy (A.D. 150) cataloged 1,022 stars in his work The Almagest.4 Many astronomers believed that these were the only stars that existed, even though Ptolemy never claimed that his catalogue was exhaustive.5 Of course, there are many more stars than this number. The total number of stars that can be distinctly seen (from both hemispheres under ideal, dark sky conditions) with the unaided eye is around 10,000. The precise number depends on how good one’s vision is.

The process of reaching God is one of learning, discussion, argument and discovery. This is called the process.
Whenever you discuss God or religion, no matter how much you are against the subject, you are considering holy matters and bringing yourself close to God.

No, the way the argument is rigged by virtue of its definitions *can't* accomplish what it wants *to begin with* - that is, to refute the theistic position on its own grounds - because it refuses to use the theistic concept of evil.
