  #1 protein functional redundancy comparing the sequences of amino acids in ubiquitous proteins confirms the relationship between all living things..

  #2 dna functional redundancy comparison of the dna that codes for the amino acids of ubiquitous proteins predicts the tree of life with an astonishing degree of accuracy..

  #3 ervs endogenous retroviruses that infected our ancestors are found in the same place of the genome of our closest primate cousins..

  Bad_wolf - For the hundredth time evolution is NOT about the origin of life.

  Evolution explains how millions of species descended from a common ancestor. The evidence for this is not simply about showing a few similarities. You could only say that if you had never taken the time to examine the evidence.

  I used to be just like you. I thought I had powerful arguments against evolution. One day I realised that I was arguing about something that I actually knew nothing about so I began to study the evidence. I was astonished by how ignorant I had been.

  That is why I wrote this series. If you actually read the OPs of these 40 threads, or even a sample of them, you would be embarrassed by what you just wrote.

  Evolutionist on their deathbed.

  i would really like to read the thoughts of an evolutionist as they lie on their deathbed.

  their "honest to nogod" thoughts.

  their terrors.

  Ah, so the Evolutionsts and the Atheists do indeed Squirm!

  Once again - most christians accept the fact of evolution.

  The WTBorg instruction to disregard and/or discredit any belief or opinion which seems contrary to their Dogma seems alive and well. Intolerance in now a "Cool" behavior.

  In what way is anybody being intolerant? I don't disregard theism. I spent most of my life studying it. I spent another decade studying after I left the cult. I really understand why I don't believe it's true.

  The God portrayed by the WTBorg is an Intolerant Destroyer

  The god of the bible is a moral monster.

  Do you remember maybe where you and Tenacious had this conversation on evolution?

  To be honest I don't. I have had quite a few discussions on this topic. Maybe Teancious will remember which thread it was?

  No worries Teancious.

  Next time you want to balance the discussion let me know and I will suggest some much more compelling arguments than the ones in those videos. They really were painful to watch.

  No you weren't talking about evolution you were nit-picking semantic details as usual.

  Seriously not on this thread.

  Start your own thread on epistemology.

  Cofty apparently thinks the first has been disproved, the second is self-evidently true*, and the third is ridiculous

  *How humans view the world is not how I would describe objectivity but let's save that for another thread.

  If you're not a proponent of this view, how would you specifically define a fact?

  Not on this thread!

  it doesn't mean new information won't necessitate revision

  Yes it does. This statement is beyond all reasonable doubt. It is as certain as the fact that the earth is not fla ..... oh yeah right.

  the insertion of the phrase "or more" means a creationist could agree with the statement too

  Only if they had no concern at all for intellectual honesty - oh yeah right again.

  evolved into the myriad of extant and extinct species over millions of years..

  No creationist would agree with this.

  How about if we said - "Every living thing ever discovered descended from one or more common ancestors and evolved into the myriad of extant and extinct species over millions of years"

  Would that satisfy you as a fact at the heart of evolution?
