Homo sapiens are a very poor example to try and prove your point. Intelligence is the counter to evolution. We are de-evolving in fact. Take for instance, eyesight. More and more people are...

Salty, did you read my previous posts? If you have group 1 that splits into two groups and they each evolve separately, you will have groups 2 and 2a, where 2 is the group that evolved elsewhere and...

Well, for starters, you could just tell me that I'm right. :D :D

I think that modern day observations are very important, but taking those observations and comparing them to current theory is...

Exactly. And yet, the article posted said that modern man and his precursors existed side by side. This isn't much of a feat, IMO, unless they coexisted in the same environment. There's bound to...

Let me explain what I mean using a suggested tree of human evolution found at this website: http://www.amonline.net.au/human_evolution/tree.htm

Consider Homo ergaster. Homo ergaster is the...

Tyler,

I was not saying that there was a flaw in the design of creation, but that there could be a flaw in our understanding of reality. We should never be so arrogant as to claim that we have...

But this is exactly what the argument is about, and why the Creationists have a scientific agenda. All truth is God's truth, and truth cannot contradict itself. For the YEC, the Bible is inerrant...

Let me see if I can rephrase what I'm asking for a bit more clarity. Take for instance, the crocodile and the alligator could be descendants from a common ancestor; also, do we know that the tiger...

Doesn't this strike anyone as strange? That a modern day version and the precursor to that modern day version could co-exist? How often, these days, do we find both the evolved animal and the...

Congrats on post #2000 Salty! :)

Of course we Creationists say that consciousness is a product of the master Designer. Go figure. :p


There is a visible hierarchy in the world we live in. ...

Ok, I agree with that. Nature cannot differentiate between right and wrong. Now comes the kicker though. You defend evolution, you defend natural selection, and I have yet to see you try and...

I wasn't referencing an entity in my post. I was saying that biologists and scientists of the time, at least the more outspoken evolutionists, are turning to the concept that the driving force and...

Salty, the idea of morality being a cultural invention is based on the idea of relativism which is a self-defeating argument. The idea that something can be right for you but not right for me (that...

Salty, did you read my post? Culture is just another part of humanity, society. If morality is a cultural invention, then it was invented by man, and I refuted that argument. Your explanation is...

Noting that morality must be defined above humanity is one of the many logical arguments for God's existence. It follows a logical pattern of "how much is enough?" One cannot define morality. Can...

It doesn't necessarily. It was merely a side issue I was addressing when you claimed there was nothing in nature to indicate good and evil.

From a purely non-religious standpoint, you get a planet without humans or any of the effects that humanity has had on the planet. Presumably, a much healthier planet. :D

I'm not sure what...

Is there an idea not created by man? Theists could argue that God is the source of ideas, from from a purely "man observation" standpoint, is there any idea that is NOT from man?

The next...

Actually, according to that site that Dawgbitten sent me, Creationism and ID are not the same thing. Here's a quote or two:

"Is IC/ID [Irreducible Complexity/Intelligent Design] a form of...

Thanks for the website! Very informative. I will continue to read and do research. This is what is important, because it is through research that we formulate opinions and establish truth. :-)
...

Please do your homework before espousing your opinions. I leave it up to geologists to determine whether or not it is a tree. This is not the only site that has tree-embedded fossil records, and it...

The prescribed name for the hominid found in Flores is "Homo Floresiensis," which is the Genus and Species of said hominid. The full biological name would be as follows:

Animalia Chordata...

Again, no evidence of familial evolution.... Visit this website: http://genesismission.4t.com/Flood/Rapid_Burial.html which is indicative of a catastrophic event that resulted in very quick fossil...

Speciation doesn't involve cross-family. There are current studies dealing with cross-species and cross-genus, but I'm pretty sure there are no studies for cross-family. I don't remember if the...

I agree. Micro-evolution is a fact. However, macro-evolution can never be empirically tested and therefore is not within the realm of scientific determination. It is beyond me how anyone can claim...
