That means I didn't digress. Just that you couldn't answer the question, thus prompting you to refer me to evolutionary biologist.

mank1234:
No comment. Let's wait for an evolutionary biologist to join the thread.
Digressing? Remind me what the argument was!

DeSepiero:
You have drawn your conclusion on evolution based on your limited research.
Nice of your inquisitive mind.
But this conclusion of yours which you hold and believe in, remains your opinion and doesn't automatically stand as the ultimate truth.
It doesn't prove or disprove the evolution theory. Does it?

johnydon22:
I don't understand this - So you offer someone a kind of salvation and then threaten to torture them if they reject it?

That's blackmail not salvation.

mank1234:
Sorry to have burdened you with the question. I thought as a molecular biologist that you'll have the answers.

However, I've drawn a conclusion: if asked by fellow biologist you'll allude to evolution even though ypou don't know. I'll therefore suggest you implore your fellow biologist your assist you in imbibing evolution before you ask the respective religious ardent followers to proof God's existence.

Lennycool:
But seriously oh. Has any one seen what's odd about the picture?

mank1234:
Welcome on board. With your unlimited research help me out with explanation for this and I'll not have any doubt on evolution of man: 1) explain how evolved animals appear in pairs ( male and female) 2) how the first evolved man escaped predators because he couldn't have evolved with tools.

Thank you in advance.

Lennycool:
The picture below is an excellent optical illusion. Some will be able to tell what's odd about it in seconds, others will take a lot longer and some will never see the true image. But once you do see the real image you can NEVER unsee it. I myself have often tried to imagine the concept of heaven, hell and God, like I normally did when I was still a Christian. But like many other atheist I've found it impossible to accept the concept of a God and afterlife as reality. Religion is much like the illusion, once you see through the façade, you can never unsee it. The website below helped me see through the illusion of religion.

I have researched thoroughly on evolution and still came to the same conclusion: animals do evolve through mutation, natural selection et al but that's not sufficient to explain the diversity of life form.

Not every information you get through Google search is factual. Anybody can put information on the internet and Google will bring it up.

Since you picked to discuss the bible, the holy book of christians, let us go there. Studying a book to understanding it is different from studying to discover loophole. Bible is a collection of different books written over a long period. The consistency is unrivaled. You can't say same of your science textbook.

DoctorAlien:
You could have been included in that "we", you know...

So, you mean that for this argument, there is no verifiable fact which we didn't know? Hmm. That's a bonus to us.

Agreed.

DoctorAlien:
Produce the verifiable facts which we didn't know before now.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans:8:14

Are you a son?

My sheep will hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John:10:27

Goats don't hear the voice of a Shepherd, only sheep does.

Are you a goat or a sheep?

plaetton:
Let's be honest, most people on this religious section who question evolution are being who didn't or who barely finished biology in secondary school.
Besides, even Nigerian teachers and lecturers frown at the theory of evolution. So I don't blame most Nigerians. It's the poor quality of the system.

Sure, you have the right to ask questions. But the answers are already in the public domains.
The religious section is surely not the best place to learn everything about evolution and the theory of evolution.

Now, I said that if you are sincere, not just arguing for religious sake, grab a book on evolution and try to understand.

DoctorAlien:
Okay.

I'll continue searching to see if there's any scientist who can experimentally determine whether an individual contains jealousy, and in what amount.

Thanks for your time.

analice107:
He does to me. If you dont hear Him, its because you dont listen.

CAPSLOCKED:
DON'T WORRY FELLAS, WINNER01 AIN'T COMING CUZ I'M IN CHARGE NOW.

DoctorAlien:
LOL. Is a psychologist a skeptical empiricist?

You still have not shown me how jealousy (and possibly the amount) in an individual can be determined by a scientific experiment, maybe in a lab.

DoctorAlien:
If I bring my son to you, and ask you to determine scientifically whether there is jealousy in him, what will you do? (assuming he refuses to answer any questions you ask).

When you bring a sample to determine scientifically whether or not it contains protein, you don't begin to ask the samples question. Even if the sample could talk, science does not depend on human opinions. You proceed to experiment on the sample.

DoctorAlien:
When I say science, I mean the one that employs skeptical empiricism.

What if I refuse to answer your questions, but you still have to determine whether there is jealousy in me or not?

Sunglow:
They and their wealth never end well.

DoctorAlien:
When you want test for protein in a sample, do you ask the sample questions? What about dumb individuals?

Questioning is not experiment. How can you conduct an experiment on me to determine if I have jealouy in me?

DoctorAlien:
I tell you that jealousy exists in my heart. How can you conduct a scientific test to prove it?

DoctorAlien:
If I tell you that jealousy exists in my heart, how are you going to test it scientifically?

DoctorAlien:
(Very minute)Mutation is responsible for variation in individuals. However, significant mutation(the one evolutionists say can change a bacteria into a worm or whatever) is detrimental individuals.

DoctorAlien:
Single-species populations of bacteria can evolve over time? Evolve into what? Tell me.

DoctorAlien:
Provide me with a single case of mutation that has given rise to a new species.

hopefulLandlord:
What can the senate do about it? They're religious too and play their religious card to win elections

Gonna be hard changing a system they're taking advantage of already
