Humans are relatively new to the earth.
If earth's history was 24 hours, Homo sapiens arrived at twenty-five to midnight.

Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy
by cofty ini intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.
there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.
there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

Such a ‘definition’ preemptively excludes creation as a possible scientific explanation.
Not at all. If science had failed to find a naturalistic answer then the possibility would remain that god-did-it.
But in the case of finding an explanation for the complexity and diversity of life the results are already in. Unguided evolution is a fact.
If you want to hang on to a personal belief that god used evolution to make the world then carry on but it adds nothing to our knowledge of reality.

To both, ‘science’ is the search for “naturalistic” explanation
YES!
How could a scientist possibly seek a supernatural one?
'God-did-it, let's go to the pub'.
The most committed christians who work in every field of science seek naturalistic answers. It is this approach that dragged us out of the Dark Ages and transformed the world.

The Charity Commission is a toothless organisation. It has little power and rarely uses it.

Clearly, Jesus was in two places at the same time
It's difficult to tell the difference between a genuine xtian apologist and a spoof.

Perry - What are you on about? I am working from the christian definition of god and judging him by his OWN standards: not my standards.
Christianity is not only objectively wrong, it is internally contradictory and it is there that I make my stand.

SBF - I have no interest in going round this again.
Jesus revealed god to be love, defined as care for others.
The facts prove otherwise.
Find somebody else who will indulge your PoMo bullshit where words have no meaning.

Genuine objective morality is only possible by first omitting gods from the discussion.
Theology has no moral or ethical system, only a collection of arbitrary and capricious diktats.

If God defines what is good, then on what grounds can we judge him? - SBF
We judge him by his own revelation.

Venus - It's hilarious that you use the hiddenness of god as evidence for god.
The logical contortions of apologists knows no bounds.
