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?
Where did all the water come from ? Scientists still haven't got a clue - Automaton
No — you don't have a clue. That is the result of wilful ignorance of actual science.
If you are genuinely interested in the answer (of course we both know you aren't) read Oxygen: The molecule that made the world by Nick Lane.
The answer may surprise you - it did me.

It may be that all intelligent civilizations end up wiping themselves out once a certain level of tecnological advancement is achieved.
But there is no evidence for any intelligent civilisations apart from our own. We may be unique in all of space and time.

I don't make dogmatic assertions. I explain the evidence and never fail to thoroughly answer all reasonable questions and objections.
You on the other hand ....
By your own admission you have never read a single science book in your entire life. Your never-ending posts on the subject betray a woeful depth of ignorance and a total lack of genuine curiosity.
i sneakily read his books at work.
it was written in such a way that no one could accuse him of being another bitter old apostate.. once it registered in my brain, especially after reading the second book, i knew i had to get out!.
No. I avoided ex-JWs until after I was out.
I found his first book fascinating. The second one not so much.

Here is a link to the series of forty threads in the Evolution is a Fact series.

The context was a conversation with tornapart who commented that they accept the scientific case for evolution but still believe that a creator started the process.
If we are going to take that position — theistic evolution — then we have to commit to methodological naturalism and not resort to arguments from design otherwise we have stepped outside of science into the realm of superstition and creationism.
The part in italics is assumed from the context as any intelligent and well-intentioned reader can clearly see.
I see you have still to read your first science book Hooby (or any book that doesn't come with a set of crayons)

generally speaking humanity as a whole isn't getting better
I don't think I agree Jan.
There has never been a time in all human history when there has been such an extended period of peace and a respect for human rights.
It is without dispute that we are faced with many self-inflicted causes for unease, but compare now with any other time and we really are getting better.

The problem with the world is human nature
Humans are the most amazing thing to happen in the entire history of our universe. We also have the potential for total destruction.
The need for belonging to groups defined by kin, geography, beliefs and ideologies will never change. The challenge is how we allow that without hating and destroying the ‘other’.

How do we replace its ability to bind without lying to ourselves about reality?

John Lennon's Imagine. Will it ever happen? I am sure it will, but not in the near future,in the distance future our children's children
I really doubt it will. I'm not even sure it would be desirable. It's a prayer for tedious homogeneity.
