if you want to read the definitive explanation on fossils and how life arrived its covered in darwins doubt, by s.c. meyer.
this is a game changer.

hey bohm,
How does it feel to be the odd man out? Simply noise on a thread.
My apology. I see you have read the book.
Yes, vast amounts of new genetic information is needed to account for the emergence of cambrian phyla. So the focus is on the genetic information and human experience tells us INFORMATION source is alway an intelligence, not random chance.
Very good. You are reasonable. Very good point you made.

If you understood the first thing about genetics... [Evolution] does prove common descent beyond all reasonable doubt.
Not quite, sorry cofty.
Tells us about the MECHANISM that Evolution uses to deliver randomly and by chance ("natural selection") the guidance of precise genetics to differentiate animals from humans with reasoning, love, justice, introspection, etc.?
Your common ancestry thread doesn’t explain it.
That's very plausible with an intelligent Creator using the power of his genetic toolkit. Easily explained.

99% genetic similarity between humans and chimps proves Evolution.
No, it doesn't prove Evolution.
Both chimps and human have the same designer, not the same common ancestry. Humans and animals are made of flesh from the same dust of the Earth by the same creator. This speaks to the efficiency of the Creator, differentiating humans simply by using his genetic toolkit to set man's gene expression to reflect "God's image" with divine attributes.

Here is a Socrates In The City (“The unexamined life is not worth living” forum) interview by author Eric Metaxas
In the subterranean scientific academy unknown to the public, there is descent among a network of scientist, peer reviewed papers are being written with new theories, abandoning Evolution theory with better robust hypothesis to better address the complexity found in life.
There are cracks in the Evolution dam!

if you could teach me one thing to convince me not to believe what would it be?
for instance what has the wt taught about evolution/science or mans existence that is wrong and could possibly change skmeones mind?
and the more important question, why is it a creator couldnt allow for species to evolve?
adam: Einstein's use of words like "religion" and "God" wasn't the same as yours [Tammy]..."Spinoza's God" meant to Einstein...deist.
We agree Einstein did not believe in a personal God e.g. a religious denomination with prayers, ritual, dogma, etc. What's important here is he was not like you, an atheist.
Einstein believed there is a transcendent God principle responsible the order in the universe:
So, Einstein shares Tammy's world view in this sense, a "cause and effect" God principle, a first cause (not a religion) , is the reason order exist in the universe.
as i fade further from the jws, i'm finding it increasingly hard to maintain faith in god.
i've been exploring many alternatives from atheism, agnostic, apathetic, pagan, and satanism (not devil worship, but the promotion of self-indulgence) to name a few.
i'm thoroughly intrigued to learn how those of you who remained christian managed to maintain your faith in god and christ, especially after enduring all the lies that we've been told about them.
pronomono,
Godlessness with its vitriol is incentive for faith.
Check your PM email.
as many may be aware.
i don't like the man.
but i have chosen to review the first chapter of his book.. chapter 1... only a theory?.
Etude: Natural Selection has seen fit to give us something for which we have no need for, namely the concept of a deity.
Yes
I gree, it is not plausible that in a GODLESS universe Natural Selection has seen fit to give us something for which there is no need for, namely the concept of a deity.
Something entirely void of God would have no impulse for God.
Great point.
science imo does not have all the answers.
when i discover gaps in science, it's easy for me, as a temporary measure to fill in the gaps with god.
i do this until i have learnt something new.. what about you?
admah: Here's a little cartoon which you might (or might not) enjoy:
You’re emboldened by the heavy anti-god prejudice on this forum. So you break the rules.
Feeling the need to deploy foul language (break the rules) is really a feeble mind trying to express itself forcefully.

jgnat: I didn't say that Christians couldn't be scientists.
Never said you did say that.
Your deception is: "god did it", ends inquiry. That’s false!
Believers in God, Christian thinkers (read the list) fascinated with HOW “God did it” (create nature and the universe), is the reason we have the "Age of "Enlightenment", also known as MODERN SCIENCE.
The greatest scientist ever, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, were fascinated and driven to know how “God did it” (create the magnificent universe).
Both were driven by belief in God.
That's the point!

cofty, cant, Captain O: Einstein most certainly did NOT believe in god.
Wrong! Einstein didn’t believe in a PERSONAL god, but he did believe there is a god (Spinoza’s God)
He was NOT an atheist.
cofty, cant, jgnat: Filling in the gaps with "god did it" ends inquiry.
Silly argument!
Pagan thinker’s world view felt God is in nature, various aspect of nature represent various Gods (Pantheism). No need to explore or discover.
Christian thinker’s world view is, God is outside of nature. Christians innate curiosity compels them to explore (like the history of explorers), ‘let’s explore and discover God’s creation handiwork.'
Entire MODERN SCIENCE, “the scientific revolution…age of enlightenment”, came out of CHRISTIANITY's inquiring minds, thinkers.
(Just to name a few)
