Funny, I thought that science confirms that the human body is made from the very elements that are found in the earth itself.
Even funnier - seeing as how you think Jehovah created living things from dust, then humans, the dust could not have contained 'the very elements', since dust is primarily silicates.
"Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 are necessary for life.
Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

Silicates contain only silicon and oxygen.
How did Jehovah make, say, sphingomyelin from silicate?
I always see personal attacks as a sure sign that an opposer has been defeated....it's the best form of defense when one is out of argument. Nice work.
Wow, good one. I see people claiming victory when their history shows their inability to adequately address topics to be hilarious.
Oh, so that is why you kept plugging this?.....it's down to semantics now?
Right, 'semantics' - says the person that rejects science because it has too much "jargon"...
I used the word "immune" in the generic sense, like it is stated above..."protected or exempt, especially from an obligation or the effects of something.
"they are immune from legal action". Did you even read that before you posted it?
I read this:
It is because of adaptation that many diseases that were previously cured by antibiotics, are now coming back stronger and immune to the antibiotics because the drugs were over-prescribed and the bacteria have armed themselves for their preservation and become untreatable "superbugs".
And this:
Last time I looked it was called adaptation. The ability to alter some feature of an organism to allow it to survive in a changed environment. Bacteria are able to make themselves immune to things like antibiotics by adapting to how they respond to them.
Its what has created the "superbugs" we now see claiming hospitals as their main breeding ground. If you are sick, the last place you want to be these days is a hospital. Clever little bugs. The future is looking grim because of human stupidity....along with the misuse of science. So who is dumb?
And this:
Don't we see the same thing with bacteria? They adapted to antibiotics by making themselves immune to them.
And the context does not indicate or imply that you REALLY meant "
protected or exempt, especially
from an obligation or
the effects of something. "they are
immune from legal action". But that is a nice act of trying to save face. If that is what you REALLY meant, it seems you could have written that the first time I asked. And since you didn't, I do not believe this face saving nonsense.
But I suppose we can chalk this up to the fact that you have no real understanding of medical science, or biology in general - too much jargon, I guess. Because in biology, "immune" has a specific meaning.
Again...nice work science.
What saved millions of people is now going to kill millions more....
Well, there is always 'thoughts and prayers'... That TOTALLY works...
Now let us watch the desperate antics ensue, all in a sad attempt to avoid having to admit even the trivialest of errors:
Now this just made me smile .....who is displaying desperation here over a triviality?
Why, YOU still are.
Seriously......people can become so blinded by their faith in science that they fail to recognize that it is exactly the kind of faith that they accuse ID believers of having.
Right... So says the jargon-phobe.
There is no real evidence for anything but adaptation; all they have is just assertions and suggestions.
Quite a little system you have set up for yourself out of desperation -
You ask for evidence, yet when you receive it, you dismiss it because of too much "jargon", then you go back to claiming 'no evidence'. Does being a creationist make one this dishonest, or are dishonest people drawn to YECism?
And you know bias.
Oh dear......I am not anti-science.
You really are. Well, you are anti-science when it comes to that science which contradicts the rantings of ancient middle eastern numerologists and the like.
.....I am against supposition masquerading as science. Science presents its beliefs in hypotheses and theories....let's not kid ourselves about the difference between fact and belief.
Not only are you anti-science, you are demonstrably ignorant of its basic concepts. As indicated in that sentence above.
Are the scientists accusing believers in an Intelligent Designer of something that they are guilty of themselves?
No, not at all.
Not that you can tell. Brainwashing is powerful stuff.
When science can't see past the end of its arrogant nose to see what damage it had done to this earth and continues to do, who can be proud of it?
Can religionists see past the ends of their arrogant noses? Seems not.
You can assert that till the cows come home...but you have no way to prove that an Intelligent Designer does not exist.
Apparently, people like you have no real evidence that it DOES. All you have is supposition and desire for it to be so. I have no need to rely on such silliness when there IS evidence for natural processes doing things that ancient middle eastern mystics ascribed to their made-up deities.
The adaptive ability in all living things is programmed into their DNA.
Whats this? An UNSUPPORTED assertion?
SHOW
YOUR
EVIDENCE
Programs require a programmer and information needs an Intelligent source.
More assertions. Funny how you pretend to see all the shortcomings in everyone else's position, yet when it comes to your silly mythology, suddenly merely proclaiming it makes it so.
Science knows this but denies it in this one branch.
And the conspiracy.
Programs and information are both HUMAN contrivances, didn't you learn that in JW school?
AT BEST, all this ID mumbo jumbo can only indicate HUMAN intelligence.
Are you claiming Yahweh is a human?
The other branches support it because they value their place in academic circles. Try denying it in that environment.
What are you rambling on about?
Then substitute the word "resistant" if you need to push the semantics.
I am not pushing semantics, it is just that you are too ignorant of biology to understand that words have specific meanings in particular contexts, and seeing as how I first asked for clarification MONTHS ago and you are only now conjuring up this 'semantics' thing, it tells me that you fabricated it to save face after realizing you really are wrong.
So the jargon is needed to explain something to people who don't understand it? Genius!
And there you go with you "jargon" argument. If you were as intelligent and well read as you hope people will think, you wouldn't need to have everything dumbed-down for you.
I am a fool to people who can't break the science down to its bare bones.
No, you are a fool for claiming to have the intellectual ability to not only understand all the evidence presented for evolution, but to have been able to refute it, even as you are then exposed as being unable to actually read and understand the very science you pretend to have been able to refute.
Your antics may work on your fellow JWs, but it fails when trying to pull one over on people that know the material better than you - and who do not need it presented at a 5th grade level.
