jjbest123:thanks a lot |
@Hollawayn05 I'll chat you on WhatsApp |
@jjbest123 can you still provide the cost analysis for the 20 broilers please? A friend and I are sharing the carton (I'm a starter) |
GOOD DAY EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE I HAVE SOME CASH I Wouldn't LIKE TO Just SQUANDER(at least not all of it) So i decided to run a broiler farm... HOW MUCH WILL 20 BROILERS COST? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE BROILERS TO GROW MARKETABLE SIZE? HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO FEED 20 TILL WHEN THEY READY FOR SALE? FINALLY HOW MUCH WILL ONE BE SOLD? THEN SUBTRACT THE COST OF RUNNING THE BUSINESS TO THE SALE OF THE GROWN 20 BROILERS professionals in the house, over to you. WHAT IS THE PROFIT ? |
inMyOpeenion:thanks, I just argued with a friend, he insisted that its right... but is it right in any context? |

more facts can be presented if any Darwinian has a raised eyebrow |
(h) The final reason for dismissing
Darwinian evolution on both scientific and
philosophical grounds is that its advocates
simply miss the main point in the debate
between atheists and theists. They are not
only confronted by the extreme
improbability that life in all its complexity
‘evolved’ by random and purposeless
naturalistic processes; they face an even
greater challenge: to explain why it is
more probable that life in all its forms
emerged on our planet by accident,
rather than as the deliberately designed
product of an intelligent Creator. Once
the issue is seen in this light, the
absurdity of denying God’s existence
becomes fully apparent. To quote one
great British scientist from the past, Lord
Kelvin, who made important discoveries in
thermodynamics and died in 1907:
“Overwhelmingly strong proofs of
intelligent and benevolent design lie
around us … the atheistic idea is so
nonsensical that I cannot put it into
words.” (Proceedings of the Victoria
Institute , No.124, p.267). |
(g) Even if we ignore the many difficulties
facing Darwinian theory and the lack of
convincing evidence for macro-evolution,
one compelling reason exists for
dismissing it completely: the accidental
emergence of complex life-forms does not
become more probable by being divided
up into many little steps. Since the
evolutionary process is ‘blind’ because it
has no conscious purpose or ‘target’ at
which it is aiming, there is no reason why
all the little steps required for the
development of the human eye, for
instance, should occur at the right time
and in the right order. To quote one
agnostic scientific critic of Darwinism,
Richard Milton, writing in his book, The
Facts of Life (Corgi Books, 1992, p.180):
“The improbability of step number 2
correctly following step number 1,
correctly followed by step number 3 and
so on for 100 mutations, is as great as
leaping to the 100th step in one go…It
does not become any easier for an eye to
come into being just because the first of
the 100 or 1,000 accidents needed has
taken place, even if that first step is a
very important general innovation such as
light-sensitive tissue.” The next random
mutation may be a wrong step, “such as
providing eyelids before providing the
muscles to move them, thus blinding their
possessor.” Even if favourable mutations
did accumulate within one species, their
survival value could be counterbalanced
by favourable mutations within some
hostile predator, or else nullified by some
harmful change in climate or physical
environment. Since, in addition, most
mutations are harmful, why should it be
likely that enough favourable mutations
would accumulate by accident to produce
a progressive upward trend in organic
evolution? |
(f) Another powerful objection to
Darwinian theory is its inability to offer a
convincing solution to the problem of
‘irreducible complexity’ – i.e. the
existence of biological organisms and
systems comprised of multiple, co-
ordinated parts, all of which must co-exist
to ensure the proper functioning of that
organism or system. As Darwin himself
admitted in The Origin of Species: “If it
could be demonstrated that any complex
organ existed which could not possibly
have been formed by numerous,
successive, slight modifications, my theory
would absolutely break down.” Precisely
such a demonstration has been made by
American biochemist, Dr Michael Behe, in
his award-winning best-seller, Darwin’s
Black Box: the biochemical challenge to
evolution. In this book, he argues that
many biochemical structures within living
organisms are ‘irreducibly complex’, like,
for example, those involved in vision and
blood-clotting. Behe shows that even the
simplest form of vision requires a dazzling
array of chemicals in the right places, as
well as a system to transmit and process
the information. The blood-clotting
mechanism similarly needs many different
chemicals to work together in order to
prevent us bleeding to death from minor
cuts. If a simple mousetrap cannot
function if any of its component parts are
missing, how could an evolutionary
process produce infinitely more complex
single-cell organisms? As one Darwinian
scientist, Franklin M. Harold, has pointed
out in his book, The Way of the Cell,
(Oxford University Press, 2001, p.205), a
single-cell organism is a biological high-
tech factory complete with: “artificial
languages and their decoding systems,
memory banks for information storage
and retrieval, elegant control systems
regulating the automated assembly of
parts and components, error fail-safe and
proof-reading devices utilized for quality
control, assembly processes involving the
principle of prefabrication and modular
construction…[and] a capacity not
equalled in any of our most advanced
machines, for it would be capable of
replicating its entire structure within a
matter of a few hours.” Not surprisingly,
he reluctantly concludes: “…we must
concede that there are presently no
detailed Darwinian accounts of the
evolution of any biochemical system, only
a variety of wishful speculations.” (p.329). |
(e) In his book, Icons of Evolution,
molecular biologist, Dr Jonathan Wells,
exposes the weakness of some of the
chief arguments and ‘evidence’ habitually
trotted out in support of Darwinism in the
standard biology textbooks used in
colleges and universities. So too does
Australian microbiologist, Dr Michael
Denton, an agnostic scientist whose
detailed, ground-breaking critique of
Darwinism, Evolution: A Theory In Crisis,
has opened up the scientific debate about
origins since its publication in 1986. What
these, and other authors, reveal in
particular, is the embarrassing fact that
paleontology (the study of the fossil
record) does not support evolutionary
theory, let alone the Darwinian claim that
macro-evolution has occurred and is
therefore a ‘fact’.
The first problem Darwinian evolution
faces is the absence of intermediate
forms in the fossil record, a fact which
Darwin himself conceded was the gravest
and most obvious objection to his theory.
As he wrote in The Origin of Species
(1859): “Why, if species have descended
from other species by insensibly fine
gradations, do we not everywhere see
innumerable transitional forms?” The
answer, he believed, lay in the
incompleteness of the fossil record, a
defect he assumed would be rectified by
future discoveries. This has proved to be a
false hope. Despite the accumulation of at
least a quarter of a million fossil species
over the past 150 years, the evolutionary
‘gaps’ have not been filled, as many
Darwinian scientists themselves
acknowledge. To quote Stephen Gould,
professor of paleontology, biology, and
geology at Harvard: “The extreme rarity of
transitional forms in the fossil record
persists as the trade secret of
paleontology. The evolutionary trees that
adorn our textbooks have data only at the
tips and nodes of their branches; the rest
is inference, however reasonable, not the
evidence of fossils.” (Natural History,
Vol.86, 1977 ). In a similar fashion, Steve
Jones, professor of genetics at London
University, and like Gould, an evolutionist
and atheist, admits: “The evidence for
human evolution is, in fact, still
extraordinarily weak…There are no more
fossils than would cover a decent-sized
table and we know almost nothing about
what propelled a hairy and rather stupid
ape into a bald and mildly intellectual
human being.” ( Daily Telegraph, 13/9/95 ).
But in any case, even if there were an
abundance of apparent ‘transitional’
fossils, why should this be conclusive
evidence for macro-evolution? Could not
an intelligent Creator have directly
created unrelated creatures with certain
shared or overlapping characteristics?
After all, points out Dr Jonathan Wells, “…
we see strange animals around today, like
the duck-billed platypus, which nobody
considers transitional but which has
characteristics of different classes.”
The second embarrassing paleontological
problem confronting Darwinian theory is
what biologists call the ‘Cambrian
explosion’ – the sudden and inexplicable
appearance early in geological history of
fossil remains of most of the major types
of animal life alive today as well as
various kinds that are now extinct. How
can this biological ‘Big Bang’ be reconciled
with the idea of macro-evolution? To
quote geophysicist and origin-of-life
biologist, Dr Stephen Meyer: “The
Cambrian explosion represents an
incredible quantum leap in biological
complexity. Before then, life on Earth was
pretty simple – one-celled bacteria, blue-
green algae, and later some sponges and
primitive worms or mollusks. Then
without any ancestors in the fossil record,
we have a stunning variety of complex
creatures appear in the blink of an eye,
geologically speaking…All of this totally
contradicts Darwinism, which predicted
the slow, gradual development in
organisms over time…The big issue is
where did the information come from to
build all these new proteins, cells, and
body plans?” |

, Evolution is the study of the diversity of life on earth, it makes no claim to how life started or the universe for that matter, those are completely different fields...Now fine, you have destroyed evolution, whats your alternative? Animals just appeared on the earth? 6000 years ago?,is that it? and let me ask you this, do you believe that dinosaurs existed
