Re: No Light-Time Problem
Yeah, dinosaurs and man is a good one. Delusion, winning new hearts and minds all the time.

Re: No Light-Time Problem
No one would trust you, you think a supremely intelligent being created you. That is delusional.

Among their numerous fakes and forgeries are: Piltdown man; Archaeoraptor; Hackel's embryo illustrations, which was offered as scientific evidence. Nebraska man, which turned out to be a pig. Peppered Moths. Both dark and light specimens have always existed simultaneously. Neither rest on tree trunks during daylight, and they only fly at night. Etc...... That's a pretty short list, of course the Peppered Moth was never a hoax and you have misstated the science about them. Nebraska Man is a favorite creationist hoax, included on the list because they can find so few scientific frauds, compared to creationist frauds. The others were all exposed and corrected by, yep you missed it, evolutionary biologists. That you trot out this pathetic list displays your ignorance and dishonesty as Jar noted earlier.

candle2 writes: If you say that life was by design, then I challenge you to prove that it was not the God of the Bible who created it. There's no evidence that life was by design.
candy2 writes: Where are all the transitional fossils? There must, by all reasonable standards, be hundreds of millions of them. How would you know what "ALL" reasonable standards for fossils are? We have museums with tens of thousands of intermediate fossils. New ones are reported monthly in dozens of scientific journals.
candy2 writes: Why should science be restricted to naturalistic causes rather than logical ones? Science is a method of analyzing and understanding the nature of the Universe based on observation and evidence. Logic is a way of thinking that may or may not involve reality.
candy2 writes: Can you explain In a step-by-step procedure How the flagellum motor came to be? How about the eye? Or the enormous complexities of blood clotting? Nope, I can't, but scientist who study these subjects are revealing more and more about the molecular processes involved. They can describe what they have learned so far, but you would not understand it.
candy2 writes: Name me all the scientific breakthroughs due to evolution? Far too many to name here, but basically all of modern medicine and agriculture, as opposed to zero scientific breakthroughs due to the bible.
candy2 writes: Why do evolutionists place more importance on ridiculous theories than they do on operational/ observable science? Oh, that's an easy one, they don't place any importance on ridiculous theories. Operational science is just something you made up.
candy2 writes: What has been observed during all recorded history is that one kind of animal always reproduces the same kind of animal. Evolution does not dispute that.
cany2 writes: This is called operational science, and it has been replicated trillions of times. No it's not. It's just you making some obvious statements without any scientific investigation what so ever.
candy2 writes: It is impossible to replicate this mumbo-jumbo nonsense you dish out. I didn't notice Jar dishing out anything, but we all know mumbo-jumbo is the easiest thing of all to replicate, just make up shit and repeat it, exactly like you do. Nice Gish Gallop, by the way.

In addition, I would like to see the theory
of evolution stop being taught as fact, when
It takes much more faith to believe in
evolution than it does in creation. Well, you might be right that it would take more faith to believe in evolution, except for one thing, evidence. When we say we have libraries and museums full of evidence we are not just making it up. They really exist, you can look at the evidence yourself and read what has been found. Scientist in dozens of fields discover and report what they find, and you can read it. You can hold it in your hands. You can study it. One interesting thing (at least to me) is that as you study this field you you suddenly see how discoveries are connected and this happens over and over.
Scientists do not know one percent of all there is to know about the universe and everything contained in it. In other words, We are extremely primitive. Don't pretend otherwise. I don't think we can quantify what we don't know, but yep, every time we discover something it makes us realize that there is a lot left to learn. Science is a systematic way to study things and learn about the Universe. Science and scientist don't claim we know everything, but we are trying to study and learn about everything. You seem to be saying that since we don't know everything, we don't know anything, or that we should not be honest and tell you what we have learned so far. We have a lot to learn still, but we have learned a lot about biology and how it works and how life evolves.
First of all, I do have cataracts, and
the left eye is scheduled to be operated
on a week from today. The right eye is
Two week from the left. My wife had cataract surgery in October, She started out thinking she would get the most expensive lenses, but found that lots of people had problems with halos, especially at night. There were problems with the next less expensive ones also. She ended up getting the basic lenses that have a long track record of working well. She has to use glasses for reading or close work, but she is happy with her results so far.

I know dwise will provide a more detailed response, but I just have a couple comments and questions. Here is your basic problem candle, the theory of evolution agrees with what you just wrote.
candle2 writes: My empirical evidence is being produced everyday. I take great pride in the fact (and it is indeed a fact) that human mother's produce human babies, and that oak trees produce oak trees. Etc... In fact, I boldly predict with 100% certainly that next week; next month; next year; and next century (if we are still going) that human mother's will still be producing human babies. You're have a big old fight and blustering about something that the theory of evolution does not say! You may think it says something different, but you are wrong. Can you show us a single scientific source that says that the theory of evolution says the opposite of what you said in those 2 paragraphs? You are making big claims, let's see your evidence. I don't see what relevance the rest of post has on the subject so I will leave that to dwise and the others.

candy2 writes: Are you aware that diamonds can be created in the lab in just a couple of months? There is no need to waitillions of years. Are you aware that diamonds can also be created deep in the Earth with lots of heat and pressure over millions of years? Are you aware that there are approximately 2,000,000 described and named insects, and that estimates by entomologists are that there may be 10-20 million more species of insects to describe?
candy2 writes: Oil can be produced in minutes with a little algae and water. Again, no need to wait millions of years for a can of it. Are you aware that it would take billions of algae cells to make a single quart of oil? Are you aware that it is now estimated that 50% of all insects species are microscopic parasitic wasps that just a few years ago we didn't even know existed?
Are you aware that over 3,000,000,000 sets
(Pairs) of genetic letters make up the human
genome? Or that each human has more than
10 billion miles of DNA? Are you aware that there are no letters whatsoever in the human genome? There are however approximately 3 billion nucleotides in the human genome and we just use letters to designate them. And it is nowhere near 10 billion miles long. Are you aware that if those millions of species of parasitic wasps hadn't evolved we would be neck deep in insect pests? And are you aware that we can actually map out the evolutionary relationships between all those millions of species of insects by mapping their genomes?
candy2 writes: Evolutionary systems are expected to increase in order and complexity. However, no exception to the 2nd Law has ever been found. This is incorrect, there is no expectation that evolutionary systems are expected to increase in order or complexity. And the 2nd law of thermodynamics is perfectly fine with energy being added to the biological system by the Sun. Are you aware of what the laws of thermodynamics say and mean?
candy2 writes: Not one person who has ever lived, except you--has been an eye witness to macro- evolution. There is no such separate process of evolution called macroevolution. Macroevolution is just lots of generation to generation microevolution. No one who has ever lived has witnessed any act of divine creation. Are you aware that over the past 400 million years insects have been the major selective force directing the evolution of land plants and that as a consequence of that they have been a major selective force in the evolution of land vertebrates, including humans? You should be worshipping insects as the god that created humans.

candy2 writes: Tanyptery, my point is that it does not take tens or hundreds of millions of years to create either diamonds or oil. Your point is not evidence that it does not take millions of years to produce natural diamonds and oil.
candy2 writes: You say that there might be 20,000,000 or more species of insects. Well, I would say that this favors a creationist's point of view. Well, you would only say that because you have never studied biology or entomology.
candy2 writes: As I have already stated, no human has every witnessed macro-evolution. Yet, you want us to believe that this has (including all intermediate steps) happened more than 100,000,000 times in the insect kingdom alone. No, as I already stated, there is no such process as macro-evolution. There is just lots and lots of micro-evolution. And there is also no such thing as the insect kingdom and I have no desires for you to believe anything.
candy2 writes: It is much more likely that an all-knowing God created them, each having a design purpose. And yet, no evidence has ever been shown to support that myth, while all the evidence supports the Theory of Evolution.
candy2 writes: Again, I have no problem with people believing in evolution. That is their God-given right. My issue is with them preaching that it is a proven fact. And, I have an issue with spending tax money to teach these fairytales to kids. Yeah, but you'll be one of the first people bitching because tax funded entomologists have not figured out how to stop infestations of invasive species destroying our orchards, or forests or crops, because YOU didn't want your taxes teaching them science.

candy2 writes: Those who speak out against evolution, and now "Climate change" could find themselves looking for a new job. Any biologist who denies all the evidence supports evolution should be fired. Any climatologist who denies that the evidence supports human caused global warming should be fired. More to the point, why would someone want a job as a biologist if they didn't think evolution works? Why would anyone be working as a climatologist if they didn't think the climate is changing? You don't take jobs like that unless you are a science nerd.
candy2 writes: College should be a place where people can exchange ideas, but certain ideas are taboo. I don't know about taboo, but I do not support colleges promoting disinformation, misinformation or false information. Information unsupported by evidence should not be presented as facts. Not all opinions deserve a stage. In general, the people I see trying to make opposing or fact based views taboo, are you guys. All that stuff about the ark is made up fiction that has no relevance in a discussion about evolution in a science thread. Edited by Tanypteryx, : No reason given.
