I have no problem with something that never was; but I do have a problem with lying.

What, exactly, makes you think that it is a lie?

[Doctor Stochastic]

Perhaps you will show us which papers are knowingly mistating the evidence? Show your own evidence (or references thereunto) as to why the researchers are knowingly wrong.

Or are you just flinging the term "lie" at some unnamed people about some unreferenced work? Strong words with no supporting evidence brings into question your bona fides.

"In fact, in todays world, the evolution theory is just as full of holes as it was when Darwin came up with it."

Would you care to enumerate the holes for us?

What do you think the evidence points towards and why?

Patrickhenry, could you please add thegreatprion to this list?

thegreatprion, this is the article I told you about.

[Old Professer]

Cold.

I don't know the url, but I join in praying for this young man!

[Alamo-Girl]

Oops. Right message, wrong window. Sorry about that! Thanks for the ping, PatrickHenry!

[PatrickHenry]

I've done that too.

[Modernman]

I'm curious. What's your problem with the first humans appearing in Africa?

Duh. Because, that's where black people come from. There are some people who are very uncomfortable with the fact that everyone on Earth shares a common ancestry.

What?

A real missing link somewhere?

What is this supposed missing link supposed to link?

Finally, and this will grab you, the Bible itself, which you believe or don't. Try Genesis as a starter!

What about the hundreds of other creation myths that humanity has come up with over the centuries? What makes you so sure that the Hindu creation story isn't more accurate than the one you believe in? Other than faith, do you have any evidence that supports your particular creation myth?

Apparently you hold the belief that you are a product of something crawling out of the ancient slime, and evolving into a fine young person, of considerable intellect. So be it!

As for me, I prefer to believe I am the product of divine planning, put on this orb to meet certain criteria and destined to do further work for the Lord in eternity.

I have done some reading on Creation vs Evolution and can find no evidence to support Evolution when it comes down to the nitty gritty. I offer the following URL for your possible interest.

Again, thank you for your thoughtful response.

Perhaps if you would actually argue what your opponent believes rather than making up their position for them you would have more credibility. Then again, it would greatly weaken your arguments.

Your WorldNetDaily citation is confusing. The article is about the percentage of people who believe in a literal interpretation of Biblical stories, but I don't see what that has to do with the issue of evolution.

What work could you possibly do for a deity capable of creating the whole universe and every living thing within it?

touche.

This thread has thus far certainly brought about some intetesting new takes on these issues.

[Doctor Stochastic]

...I prefer to believe ...

Another example of the identity of Creationism and PostModernDeconstructionism. Prefences rather than evidence.

[whattajoke]

they would like us to believe that the first humans appeared in Africa. LOL!!

Welcome to FR. While I would usually chalk up your off-the-wall statement to just another troll, in combination with your screen name, my eyebrows were raised.

While it appears that you are insulted or afraid of the obvious facts that humans did indeed spring from Africa, I'm curious as to what you actually think on this matter.

Your week's worth of posts on things such as "FREE MILOSEVIC," "Monkey is not a racist term," "Mexicans are NOT Europeans and get the hell out of my country" aside, please do help us ignorant folks as to where the cradle of civilization was, exactly.

[Cogadh na Sith]

Yeah, except that wasn't real and this is...

[Joee]

That's exactly what I have been saying. There is no valid evidence of Evolution.

[Joee]

Evolution leaves you with that major problem to explain. Which was 1st the chickens or the eggs?
