  Evolution is a Fact #31 - Ten Questions for Creationists

  by cofty in

  i thought this would be a good time to pose some questions based on the series so far.. if creationism is true these should be easy.

  answers that don't involve copy-paste would be really interesting to read.. ... .

  1. since some proteins can be assembled in more ways than there are atoms in the universe why do the sequences of amino acids and bases vary between species in exactly the way evolution predicts?

  I always find it funny when someone says "evolution is a fact".... Which evolution are you referring to?

  I always find it funny when people ask stupid questions that clearly show they haven't even read let alone understood the OP.

  4. Why does human chromosome 2 consist of two primate chromosomes joined end-to-end? 6

  Perhaps as a secondary question, given that we have two fused primate chromosomes why do we have two less chromosomes than other primates?

  i am curious if my observations are correct.

  i noticed alot of exjws end up majoring in the social sciences.

  i am also interested in what educational choices people have made either while fading or while completely out.

  Mechanical engineering, I do research and design on tools for energy companies. Mainly oil and gas although starting to see more and more green energy companies now. Doing quite a bit with safety systems and wave energy at the moment.

  If i could do something different possibly paleontology or archeology.

  Evolution is a Fact #28 - Something Darwin Didn't Say

  one of my friends posted an inspirational picture on facebook this morning.

  even before i checked i knew that it was a fictional quote.

  it was written by somebody who has not grasped a basic fact about evolution.. darwin did not say this.... it is a common misunderstanding that evolution favours individuals who are able to adapt to their environment.

  no amount of empirical evidence will make a difference if the basic understanding of evolution is narrow and somewhat flawed.

  oh the irony.

  I think Cofty respects empirical facts, perhaps you could try some of those?

  2. friends

  however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?

  if so please, show me the evidence that god exists, and i will believe along with you.. criteria:.

  (1) you must specify which god you are talking about;.

  I always find it amazing how few theists are willing to admit that their beliefs are based on faith. Considering the number of biblical passages that highlight the importance of faith perhaps faith really isn't enough for modern theists.

  JW message becoming more and more relevant

  by lsw1961 in

  2. beliefs

  mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

  however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

  somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

  ISW,

  Thanks for the reply but you didn't answer my question, What I actually asked was why you quoted him out of context since the context shows that Dr Patterson not only believes in evolution but has written a book about the subject. The quote that you mined is about the classification of transitional fossils not about suggesting that fossil evidence in anyway undermines the theory of evolution.

  ISW,

  Why did you quote Dr Colin Patterson out of context, you know he believes in evolution and wrote a well known book on the subject?

  stuffwotifink,

  I can see no evidence that you have the slightest clue that you have any personal understanding of the things you have linked to. The things you have linked to are not exactly rocket science, it's very basic stuff and your repeated claims that people don't understand it because they disagree with articles you have linked to just makes you seem like you don't actually have anything to say.

  If you care so little why do you keep replying?
