    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    Sounds like you learned obedience before you learned understanding... it never goes away, does it? Just sayin' what? Make a point...

    Evolution of what?

    "God" cannot be explained rationally regardless of evolution.

    Evolution of what?

    I'm directing my question towards you. Why do you believe in God?

    Evolution of what?

    You're not paying attention. People who believe in God (but not evolution) believe in God for many of the same reasons that people who believe in God and evolution believe in God. If you understand why you believe in God, you'll have a handle on why they do. If you're not willing to explore...

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    This should be fun... One of the fundamental premises of irreducble complexity is that the necessary parts of a system have always been necessary, and therefore could not have been added sequentially. This is utter hogwash- something which is at first merely advantageous can later become...

    Evolution of what?

    It's a lot easier to explain rational beliefs than irrational ones.

    Evolution of what?

    Probably for the same reasons anyone else believes in God. For example, why do you believe?

    Evolution of what?

    That's tricky - you might be able to make a reasoned and logical argument that supports a "god," but that's not enough, is it? You're going to want to prove that a specific God exists... good luck with that.

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    Not just my opinion, per se,but at some point in the far distant past, a collection of amino acids formed that were chemically able to replicate themselves.... and things snowballed from there.

    Evolution of what?

    Nobody said it was a successful strategy...

    Evolution of what?

    Except apparently you don't already know... Absolutely. Abiogenesis is a theory regarding the origin of life (as opposed to panspermia or of course, divine creation). Evolution is the theory regarding the diversity of life - how it changes and adapts. But let's not put the cart before the...

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    That's right - they don't. At one point in the distant past, neither did we. I don't see the problem. I get that you don't believe it, but I'm still not seeing the "why" you don't believe it, aside from the good feelings... which, if that's all you're looking for, fine.

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    You are glad to believe that, but aside from the fact that it makes you glad, why do you believe it?

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    Hmmm... "The Six Fatal Flaws in Theistic Evolution" 1. "ADAM VERSUS APES: THEISTIC EVOLUTION DENIES THE BIBLICAL CREATION OF ADAM AND MAKES APES OUR ANCESTORS" Point 1 is an argument for Biblical literalism for the sake of... Biblical literalism. So what? 2. "BIBLICAL ORDER OF CREATION"...

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    Ok then - looking at intelligent design, we can see a boatload of flaws in any living thing - the designer may have been intelligent, but not particularly good with details. Worship that? Be our guest. And I challenge you to put two phones, vehicles, books, pencils, papers, computers...

    Trump Fined $364 Million in NY Civil Fraud Case.

    Couldn't have happened to a more deserving dude...

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    No, we won't. But if it eventually happens, are they still "wolves"?
  18. TLK Valentine

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    Change "dogs" to "wolves" and the question still stands. If these animals could breed with their own kind, but not with wolves from other areas, are they still "wolves"?

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    I'm not just talking about the greenhouse effect; I'm talking about any one of a million things which can change a creature's habitate. Ok then - imagine you're a creature living in an area where some kind of catastrophe just happened: Could be an earthquake, a flood, or the local volcano just...

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    Do you believe that the environment is constantly changing? Do you believe that a single event (a volcano, a hurricane, a flood, a meteor) can turn a once-ideal place to live into a potential deathtrap? Do you believe that some creatures will be able to get by in the changed environment? Do...
