More evasiveness and dismissiveness. All you have to do is answer the questions so everyone clearly understand your views, but you keep doing everything you can to avoid doing so, which by itself is extremely revealing.
Do you see what you're doing here? Again, you've gone out of your way to avoid clarifying the confusion regarding your views on this subject (how the life history traits, biochemical pathways, and genetic sequences of the organism in the OP came to be). I specifically asked you, "how about you clearly state in your reply to me how you think the specific life history traits, biochemical pathways, and genetic sequences that the organism uses to do what it does came to be? Do you believe God created those things? Do you believe they arose via natural means? Something else?"
Believe what you will. Anytime one has to repeat themselves to someone over and over, it demonstrates that the person is not interested in what is being said, and I pointed that out to you before.
More dismissiveness.
You would not be repeating yourself, as you have never answered these questions...
More evasiveness. You've spent far more time evading the questions than it would have taken to just answer them. As the saying goes, "Trying to get a creationist to answer questions is like trying to nail jello to a tree during a tornado."
I did not ask you about taxonomic families. I specifically asked you about the life history traits, biochemical pathways, and genetic sequences the organism in the OP uses to do what it does.
So the genetic sequences specific to MRSA arose via unguided mutations?
So you believe unguided mutations can generate unique traits and sequences. Do you believe that's how the life history traits, biochemical pathways, and genetic sequences the organism in the OP came to be as well?
You’re concentrating on the genetics of those worms, and overlooking the “perfect ( Deut. 32:4)” immune system that Jehovah had endowed A & E with, which they lost when they rebelled. (Of course I understand that you don’t think A & E ever existed... I guess you think the entire religion of Judaism is based on falsehoods, too.)
I don’t know, could be. I’m not a biologist, nor a chemist. Ask Dr. Axe & Dr. Tour.
First, Dr. Axe and Dr. Tour (EDIT: BTW, Tour isn't a biologist either, he's a chemist, so it's odd that you suggested him) are not here. Second, not being a biologist didn't stop you from stating what you believe about MRSA. What's different about the organism in the OP?
OP -
Do you believe someone in their right mind would make up something like that? Do you think the Bible writers were loony?
Does that mean you believe the life history, biochemical pathways, and genetic sequences of the organism in the OP arose via evolutionary mechanisms, after God created it's original "kind"?
I'm not here to discuss evolution.
Basically you, in your finite intelligence, declare you know better than an omniscient Being. Brilliant!
It looks like you're gearing up to put me on ignore again. You tried the same thing last time, where you claimed I was ignoring your questions while refusing to say what questions you wanted me to answer (no matter how many times I asked). Rather than do that, why not just say something like "I don't want to talk to you about this anymore"? At least that's honest.
The one thing that people tend to overlook in that discussion, is the length of each generation. Check out the ages of those who lived before the flood......Noah was 500 years old before he even had children. (Genesis 5:32) And 600 when the flood came. (Genesis 7:6) He lived a further 350 years, and was 950 when he died. (Genesis 9:28)
Along with the flood obviously came vast climatic changes and an increased amount of radiation from the sun, no longer protected by the water canopy that was above the atmosphere. (One of the means used by God to flood the earth. 2 Peter 3:5-7) I believe that this greatly reduced man's lifespan, as we see in the ages of those living after the flood getting shorter. Their life expectancy was drastically reduced to 70 or 80 years. This would have increased the number of generations, as the further they got away from the physical perfection of their first parents, the more reduced their lifespan became. In some nations and time periods, it was even less. A reduced lifespan would have meant sexual maturity occurred very early in order for generations to go on reproducing. Australian Aborigines reproduced at quite a young age. It was nothing unusual for women to be grandmothers in their 30's. Do the math.
Counting generations that had shorter life expectancy does not answer the question.
See above....
You cannot provide evidence for such a claim.
The Bible's entire narrative is based on the fall of Adam. (Romans 5:12) Jesus came to undo the damage that Adam did to his future offspring. If there were humans prior to Adam, then you may as well throw the whole book out of the window. I am not prepared to do that, because the Bible is the most reliable book in existence IMO. I would rather throw out the musings of flawed humans because they are a dime a dozen......the Bible has not changed in the thousands of years of its existence. It tells one story from start to finish, and by all accounts, that "finish" is not far away. A new era is about to begin....this time God will run the show, rather than his pathetic adversary....and the gullible, godless humans who blindly follow him because they don't have a spiritual bone in their bodies, and would rather believe in what men of science tell them is true.
Science knows nothing about the origin of life. Not a single thing.....
