Sorry, this reply is long, but it needed to be.
I usually do not post to long and lengthy posts, but in this case I need too.
I have not read the other replies, becuase I want to state things my own way. Even at the risk of repetition.
"The point was that, since no genetic material was left of the animal " - Have a suggestion for this one, read the first chapter of the book GENOME by Matt Ridley. The first chapter has to do with a gene sequence that is found in our genome that leaves genes from our predecessors.
And your exmample, sure this may have been one circumstance, but you are ruling out a myriad of other circumsances. It is possible.
Do not get me started on mathematical probablities, this is my major and passion. I will rip apart any misuse of mathematics of grossly exaggerate the claims on one side or the other. Mathematics is pure, and I will not see it MISUSED.
"why start a religion? " I forget the thread that I addressed this one, but go and check out the faith and belief forum. You should find the answer there. Besides there are many religions that have been started that are widely accepted. You just seem to believe the religion that seems most acceptable to you,
"Besides, I studied argitecture " - I do not mean to be rude, just a little sarcastic. But after two years of study you cannot spell architecture. LOL
"As for the next part, you demonstrated that you have no understanding of my believe system"
Clearly from these two posts in this thread, you do not show the complete understanding of the Magesterium of Science. To turn the tables upon you fairly: Do you understand you Belief system completely? Meaning do you know everything about it? Can you explain everything? I do not think so, becuase if you did, you would be equating yourself with God [if he exists]. Noone completely understands any one field. They take what they know and apply it within the field. I do not mind you responding in the Magesterium of Religion, I will not disagree with anything unless you contradict your own beliefs, but with the Magesterium of Science, I will attack any inconsistencies or misuse of it.
"It is you that need to proof to me that my statement is false." We cannot show why one Magesterium is false with the proof of another Magersterium. Any educated person worth his salt would not encroach upon another discipline with their own ex. creationism vs. evolution. It makes your discipline look weaker and less credible and it annoys the heck out of us you are approaching. Approach us with our terms and we will be able to talk to you.
