Here are quotes for the ages...

" Oxford zoologist Richard Dawkins famously wrote, "Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose."
Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the double-helix of DNA, wrote, "Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved."

Lol yea that's two different opinions no doubt, mr. Dawkins statement is the better of the two.
I've seen folks in sciences say the more they study it the more it dawns on them it's by design.

Not hat you have to agree with it.
I am unconvinced. it's as simple as that really.

It doesn't have to be witnessed or proven in the "laboratory".
Yes but it helps to establish facts that way or else it is open to abuse. I could say anything about anything but does that make it the truth?



What assumptions? You're using the word "theories" in the wrong manner, and hypothesis doesn't fit at all.
Here we go once again, a theory is not necessarily a fact, just because someone claims that human beings evolved from a sub-species does not make it fact, just because living things share common components does not mean that it shows our ancestory or direct descendant and to make a claim that's how we came into existence.

If you want to berate well held theories with LOADS of evidence, you can do that and call it "assumptions". But that is the understatement of the year. It's proven itself time and time again.
There you go again with the so called evidence, if you and others want to believe in evolution then that is your choice, I am not convinced, I shall leave you to your evolution, nothing more can be said, the end :)


If you don't like the evidnece now, that's a different story.
I am unconvinced by the story of evolution, to me it is not factual evidence, I shall stick with what I observe today. It takes intelligent purposeful design mechanisms to bring into existence a complex machine created by man and yet natural phenomena is vastly superior by design than anything that man has designed. The core principle of human engineering is DESIGN, I know design when I see it. You can not bring into existence a complex machine with highly sophisticated components or parts using the priciples of evolution which is based upon natural selection, mutations and chance events and time. You can continue to discuss this topic with others if you choose to do so, I have done all of this a thousand times before. Time is running out, farewell.

A HONEST evaluation will reveal that evolution as the origin of anything is retarded.....having said that....species do adapt to their circumstances and will alter and adapt to the circumstance....such as deer, raccoons etc adapting to human encroachment dia cities, highways, farming etc.....having said that...this planet and all on it coming dia evolution is a farce at best!

Worst picture ever.so often misused to represent a false view of what evolution means to the scientific community...like the scriptures the concepts of evolution have been twisted to birth abominations like the Nazi "social evolution" dogma and the Crusades.

Your view is not based on science or the Bible....not sure if there is anything to discuss.
Nope. There's nothing good about evolutionary philosophy. The difference is that evolutionary philosophy is consistent with Nazi dogma and other such evils, like Stalin and Pol Pot and Chairman Mao. Also, the Crusades (well, at least the first two) were warranted. The other Crusades though, were inconsistent with Christian teachings.

False. There is nothing about evolution that promotes racism. Sorry Tintin, I can't let you just go and make stuff up though. There is NO "evolutionary philosophy".

I don't think Evolution has all the answers and I don't think Science has all the answers either but if there is a positive I can say is that at least Evolution is not as convoluted as Christianity as a whole, in my honest opinion there are way too many interpretations from the Bible, how confusing is that? too many chiefs and not enough indians.

Just one and that would be Jesus Christ. There are many interpretations and many doctrines, but only one holds true and that is Christ and Him crucified.

Hahahahaha! You're funny. Maybe read On the Origin of Species, by means of Natural Selection; or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life by Charles Darwin.

Stephen Jay Gould (1941–2002) was a leading evolutionist and Marxist, as well as a staunch anti-racist. Yet he admitted:

‘Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1850, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory.’

I'm not sure you thought this through?

and you would add?
That your reply to #147 verified what I said about the confusion in Christianity as a whole. You stated that Jesus Christ is the one true interpretation but how can Jesus be an interpretation? that does not make logical sense in any way shape or form.

My brother, the whole bible is about Christ and Him crucified, it is the main theme from Genesis to Revelation. All other content is about how we should live and testify.

Which again makes no sense to me, which interpretation is the true interpretation? you avoid the direct question, and where is your proof that Jesus Christ was put to death on a cross? because someone said so? because someone's Bible says so? what if that is a false interpretation? how do you really know what the capital punishment was in biblical times in any one particular region? because someone says so or some say so? prove it?

I can't prove it, only God can prove it and if you exercise your faith he will prove it. I could testify and tell how God has blessed me, but you would still refuse. All I can do is tell you the word of God and the the rest is left up to the Holy Spirit and He will pull on your heart and if you reject then He will go away and come back time and time gain as you here the gospel. Your here are you not.

Kedge Jesus loves you and died for you and longs for you. I know i have said myself that this must be some mystical fairy tale. Until, I placed my faith in Him and saw Him work in my life and now I no that He is real and have no doubt.

Kedge, open your heart, you no that this world has nothing to offer, divorce, abortion and murder. There is no good thing in this world. Whiter it's Trump or Killiary it makes no difference. Jesus loves you and died for you yes you and He is the only one that can make it right.

What is the point of the Bible? why was it written? and for whom? I don't understand hebrew nor aramaic nor greek so I am the mercy of the translater or translation committee and at the mercy of the interpreter and the interpretation. I don't hear God speak to me because I don't hear voices in my head, the only voice i hear is my own and I can not see an invisible spirit person in front of me or anywhere for that matter, all I have to go on is the Holy Bible, I have to place all my faith/trust in that one book and its correct translation and interpretation, so which person or persons should I trust?. If you say God or Jesus then why is there so much confusion in Christianity as a whole? why the different interpretations of the Bible?

Ok, so which Christian organisation do I join? and why that Christian organisation?
