Hi Literalist,
I noticed you've started an ENTIRE THREAD based on a quote you mined out of a discussion I was having with Faith.
Let's put this in some perspective, shall we? Wouldn't that be fair? Wouldn't that be the right thing to do?
*** Disclaimer!!!***
*** We are not arguing Faith's original point in this thread ***
Faith had originally suggested that all changes which occur through mutation were actually already built into the genetic code and were simply being expressed. In otherwords, every feature found on every person who ever lived (brown eyes, blue eyes, no hair, covered in hair, dark skin, light skin, 12 ft tall, 3 ft tall, etc.) were all present in Adam at the point of Creation and are not the result of any change in genetics.
My response was:
If all genetic variety is available in a single individual from brown eyes to an albino's pink eyes, or from long haired, to hairless, to wire haired cats, then isn't it reasonable to assume that even the differences between species are locked up in the same genetic coding?
I mean, how different are chimps and people really? Lose some hair, shorten the arms, lengthen the legs, etc.
Was meant to demonstrate that the physical differences between people and chimps are very small. And given Faith's theory, would be very easily expressed.
But, of course, expressing my entire point, or putting it in context wouldn't help you, would it?
The fact that you have to resort to such extreme quote mining to build your strawmen is just one more example of how weak your stand really is.
