Wow....this is where we part company TJ. A civil debate is not possible with you. I guess you don't practice those values you were so proud of. Berating people because of their beliefs...hmmm...weren't you saying you never did that?
I don't attack people in personal ways just because I am mad and wanting to strike out at them, this is what many people here do and I never do that. It is purely from frustration, anger, and a need to make themselves feel better when they know they do not possess the ability to debate me in certain topics.
I on the other hand have no problem making a factual observation on garbage when I see it. I am not speaking from anger or an agenda to hurt someone's feelings.
You heard the chromosomal part and completely deflected the genetic material. They may have the same number chromosomes (pig and cat) but they don't share genetic material TJ. The chromosome is what houses the DNA (the box so to speak)...or genetic material, made different by our parentage. Your analogy is extremely uneducated for an educated person such as yourself. You cannot be so arrogant as to put yourself ahead of a you professor in evolutionary DNA? I love that he's a believer in *** and has an open mind enough to accept truths and question inconsistencies. What a brilliant mind.
Well you need to go back to what I posted and read it again because I took the point head on and explained why this does not prove anything factual, it is just another assumption among many assumptions.
Did you not see me explain why it is wrong by looking foward? If the 'human' was born from apes, why can't we mate? If it is because of the fused chromosomes then there would have been no way to mate with the first generation and continue the new strain. All it takes is a little logic and putting your mind at the time of the "first" change to see how it had to have happened and find the huge holes in the theory.
I'm selfish and like to believe both are possible.
One can't deny that the scientific community has made great strides in showing us how evolution is indeed possible! I think it's brilliant how life can always find a way to adapt to adversity.
On the other hand, I can't help but believe life is a gift from a higher source for the fact that we have a soul. Maybe it's because I have this weird psychic stuff that happens to me, but I know there is existance beyond our physical form...that even when we die, we still ARE. It's not something I can prove nor would I want to force my opinions on others, but it's a belief that I cherish and one that brings me comfort.
I remember one pastor asking us, "If you were walking along the beach, and discovered a pocket watch keeping perfect time, would you believe that through erosion and time the ocean had created that watch or would you feel it had been 'made'?"
I always thought that was an interesting analogy.
I have been saying the same thing, science has proven that "Adaptation" is possible, but not the ability to form a new species from an old species, that part is purely unproven theory.
RO, you can take it any way you want to take it, I really do not give two squirts of urine about your wrong assumptions. You can come here and call all people of faith stupid, uneducated, or any other thing that is looking down your nost at all people of faith and to you, that is perfectly reasonable and justified but if I say some people who believe in evolution also believe in 9/11 being an inside job, suddenly your ****** gets all twisted in a knot and you scream foul.
Well too bad, I am not responsible for your brittle feelings, I never tried to hurt you but I was not trying to "not" hurt you either, I was just making a point that some people will jump on any theory that supports what they "want" to be true RO.
And there is the point I was making if your interested. Those people hate the Government or at least Bush and 9/11 being an inside job filled their need to hate and they jumped onboard the theory not so much because they really had facts to prove their theory but because it made them feel good about themselves to be attacking Bush.
In many ways I feel the vast majority of people who push the evolution theory are doing this for a similar reason, they reject the idea of *** so the evolution theory is their way of embracing their rejection.
This was my point, get mad, stay mad, accept I didn't mean anything personal or not, I really do not care, I know the point I was making was not one of a negative nature to attack anyone so if you or someone else turns it into something else, that is on you, not me.
Peace.
