The contrast to Dubstepped who is asking genuine questions and raising honest objections is massive.

340Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution
by dubstepped inso i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.
i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.
i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

Typical scenario...
- Creationist asks list of 'gotcha' questions.
- Factual answers are supplied.
- Creationist ignores answers and posts more similar questions.
- More factual answers are supplied.
- Creationist also ignores these answers and posts copy-paste from creationist website
- and so on and so on ....

When we admire an impressive work of art or impressive piece of machinery we readily conclude that it was well made by its creator.
Yes because we know that art asn machinery is made by humans. It doesn't reproduce therefore it isn't subject to the actions of natural selection.
Biology is NOTHING like art or machinery.
Yet, when we look at life in all its incredible diverse glory we are encouraged to conclude that it all arose spontaneously because it was supposed to: no creator required
'Glory'?
What about all the stuff that is amazingly 'designed' to kill and devour other stuff? The microbes that do nothing except kill and reproduce for example?

a. Who wrote the codes for DNA? - Old Navy
Nobody. It's not that sort of 'code'. It's just nucleotides doing their thing. That vast majority of DNA 'code' is meaningless gibberish, filler, parasitic code and broken stuff.
b. When did humans become sentient?
Sentience is a property of most species of complex animals.
c. Why do we desire to create and repair and emotionally "connect?"
Because we are a social species whose speciality is big brains. The ability to connect with other members of our group is essential to our survival and chances of reproduction.
and literally thousands of other questions regarding life and all of its incredible diversity
Keep asking and I will keep answering.

Is there any published work regarding Evolution which isn't hypothetical:
Yes. Tens of thousands of peer-reviewed studies. Absolute, incontrovertible proof beyond all reasonable doubt.
Since you have never even read a science book in your life you are hardly in a position to judge.

Life is a process which harnesses Energy in numerous ways to accomplish productive goals. Where does this Knowledge originate?
The most likely source for the origin of life is in deep sea Alkaline vents. The method of energy production was the creation of proton gradients across a membrane just as it is now in every mitochondria in every cell in your body.
The details are quite complex. The field of study is called bioenergetics. One of the teams working on it is led by Nick Lane at UCL.
By the way it has nothing to do with 'knowledge' Matter organising itself to harness energy - or to look at it another way, to maximise entropy - is as unlikely as a stone rolling down a hill.
If you care about learning more check out the work being done by Jeremy England.
Rejection of evolution isn't caused by reaching any 'knowledge threshold'. It is caused by a rejection of knowledge. Every time you post you expose your wilful ignorance.

I have not desire to change your mind. In fact, that is not even possible
Of course it is. I will follow the evidence wherever it leads. So far you have presented not one single scrap of evidence.
I know the arguments for creation and the evidence for evolution really well.
You cannot say the same.

When one goes where Evolution doesn't and examines the Biological, Chemical and Electrical sub-systems which enable life
Biological sciences do go there and the findings fully support evolution. Creationists have contributed NOTHING to human knowledge. They are academic parasites.
Your ignorance of science does not equate with any lack of scientific knowledge.
Not all are interested in digging deeply into the processes of life in search of answers which may be uncomfortable
Not only do I enjoy digging into these details I have written about them. Far from being uncomfortable they are incredibly fascinating. What specifically would you like to talk about? I assume your contribution will be copy-paste and/or AIG videos.

Anybody who can recommend Answers in Genesis has never understood even the most basic facts.
That is embarrassing.

You might surprised how many JWs are homosexuals
by Roger Kirkpatrick incontrary to common belief, neither the bible nor the watchtower condemns homosexuality; however, they do condemn the practice of fornication.
homosexuality is same sex attraction whether such attraction is acted upon or not.
leviticus 20:13 describes a man having sexual relations with a man, or the act of fornication.

UK government official estimate is 6%
The official survey posted by snugglebunny puts it at 2% which is exactly in line with the meta-analysis done by the Williams Institute.
