    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    I'm guessing you don't know what this is actually about. You see, life on earth doesn't use only L-forms of amino acids. Unfortunately for creationists, D-forms are also found in living things. D-serine, for example, is found in mammals, where it plays a major role in the brain. But why...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    That's almost right. But K2KE creationists are wrong in assuming that He had to. Since God says that living things were brought forth by the earth, God himself says that He used existing matter to make them. Why not just accept it His way? He created the universe ex nihilo, and then...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    No, that's not what evolution does. "Better" has no meaning in that sense. Evolution, as we've observed to happen, tends to make a population more fit for a particular environment. That's why evolutionary processes work so well for engineering problems. As you finally admitted, there are...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Humans, like all animals, were brought forth from the Earth as He made it to do. The difference is that God directly gives us a living soul. I've never bought the story that God didn't want animals to suffer, but was forced by Adam to make it so. It was no experiment. God knew that...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Doesn't. But we do get a clearly and clearer picture as we get more evidence. For example, the fossil record showed that mammals evolved from synapsid reptiles, but as more and more fossils were found, the details of how that evolution occurred were found. We know that mammals evolved...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Nope. Many, many YE creationsts try that ploy. But good to know that you realize we can learn about when on many millions of years ago, from the evidence. There are certainly YE creationists like Kurt Wise, Todd Wood, Harold Coffin, John Woodmorappe, and others who never pretended...

    He could have used any means He liked. The point is, the Bible says He used nature to produce living things. As I reminded you, nature is also a miracle. It's just that YE creationists object to that particular miracle. We have His word. Genesis 1:24 And God said: Let the earth...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    So it's not about brains, after all? It's just genes? If one is a human, one has a living soul, but not otherwise? I think that's correct. What if there was a chimp genius, as smart a human (albeit at the lower range of normal)? Would the chimp thereby have a living soul? People...

    Yep.. Even irreducibly random things would not be unexpected for God. Omniscient, you know. That would be blurring the distinction between creation and Creator.

    God, being omniscient, could not fail to know outcomes, even those completely random.

    Doesn't say the world was flooded. For reasons we've already discussed.

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    So people with severe mental deficiencies don't have souls? I'd have to disagree. It's not dependent on brains. The soul is not an epiphenomenon of the brain. We are truly primates. But that's not all we are. That "living soul" we get directly from God, remember? God didn't talk...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Sorry, that's wrong. In fact, He never mentions the issue at all. He doesn't talk about nuclear fusion in the Bible either. For the same reason He doesn't mention evolution. The Earth brought forth all living things as He intended. The issue is that you don't approve of the way it was...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    We being primates, and God saying that we have living souls, we can answer the first as being true. God doesn't say if there are any other beings with living souls in our world. (other than spirits He created) My guess is that there aren't any on Earth.

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Nope. You've confused analogy with homology. And human artifacts with natural things. Huge errors. Well, it's one of those things that derails the idea of "design." Like Paley's watch. If Paley had used a natural object, no one would have see any design in it.

    Evidence shows how that works. Nature 26 June 2017 The Pliocene marine megafauna extinction and its impact on functional diversity ...Reconstructions show that from the late Pliocene onwards, the global area of the neritic zone significantly diminished and exhibited amplified fluctuations...

    From the link: Unfortunately, some creation scientists have prematurely placed the post-Flood boundary at the end of the earlier Cretaceous System. So, how do they explain the sudden appearance of whale fossils beyond this boundary? They claim these large marine mammals evolved rapidly from...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Yep. More specifically a primate. The thing is, because of that living soul God gives each of us directly, were are more than merely animals.

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    None of that is evolution. Evolution is a change in allele frequencies in a population over time. Your last comes close, but of course, Amoebae have evolved too far in their own direction to have given rise to humans. It's a tinkerer's game. Like evolution, it's trying, testing, refining...
