    If you are wrong, you lost the time and possibly more than you want to lose, depending on how wrong you are. Yet, you have the ability to repent of that error, change your ways, advance in your knowledge between good and evil, and work to return to God, now the wiser.

    To think that the human race all started with Adam and Eve is to admit that our race started out as inbred idiots that had incest with Mom, Sis, Granny, and Auntie-roo!!

    Brilliant!

    And sometimes the parent has to allow the child to make those errors or else, now is the child to understand.

    This is just you lying; but while I can explain it to you, I can't make you understand.

    Evolution by natural selection is on a par with general relativity and quantum mechanics as the most tested, most validated, and most broadly accepted scientific theories in the history of science. They are so thoroughly validated by testing that collectively they have attained the status of scientific tenets.

    The Theory of Natural Selection was a theory of science, until it was falsified by a thought experiment. The Theory of Evolution is not falsifiable. There is no way to test it except by going back in time to see what actually happened.

    Nope. No test is available for the Theory of Evolution.

    Wrong on all counts .

    The theory of evolution is falsifiable by genetics, mutations, contolled environmental setting, and the fossil record.

    Every attempt to falsify evolution by natural selection through rigorous scientific testing has utterly failed.

    The day we find chimpanzee fossils in Precambrian rock strata is the day we will have to throw out the theory of evolution by natural selection, and work on developing a new theory

    Even though conservatives cringe at being called the anti-science, anti-knowledge, anti-evolution, climate denier party - and they undoubtedly harbor some shame and humiliation at the vast number of science-denying ignoramuses in their party - it is threads like this that validate the Republican Party as a party of ignorance.

    its what happens when a party clings to ancient myths designed to sooth people who had NO WAY to figure out what reality was runs up against a time when we now have the tools designed to figure out what reality is


    its called denial


    denying new information because your brain is SET and too tired to incorporate incoming information


    the Ole

    don't bother me with the facts Ive already made up my mind


    just like this Impeachment trial

As evidenced in the garden of Eden, he caused the fall of humanity, the turn away from God and this is how "death" entered into our vocabulary.




    In reference to evolution, its still just a theory. For one there are no transition forms in the fossil record. For another 99% of all mutations are bad. Evolution is a mathematical impossibility when you sit down and look at the odds.



    For example, if evolution were true, what is the deal with all the fraudulent fossils? Surely there would be no need to "fake" the missing links between species, yet this seems to be a re-occurring theme that evolutionists cannot escape from.

    Please share you views on this, I am eager to gain in insight and knowledge and that is exactly what this thread is about. I don't want this to turn into a political pissing match. Let's not mock or demean, simply list your argument and your evidence and debate your points as you see fit.

    Good luck and God speed!

    Yup, same here. I am a Theory of Creation believer as well.

    The Theory of Natural Selection has been falsified. It is no longer a theory of science.
