Agreed...if he had this picture then, he will have no trouble finding it now...I really want this to be true...really, because I do believe that the Loch Ness Monster may be real, so I also believe that a pterodactyle in modern times may be real...

But wanting to believe, does not make it so...if and when the picture is posted, then we need the proof that it is not also a hoax, as the Civil War soldiers with their pterodactyle was shown to be...

And even if a living pterodactyle was found, it would do no harm at all to ToE...

So bring on that photo please...let all of us have a good look at it, and discuss it...

The electomagnetic spectrum goes from low frequency sound wave to ultraviolet light energy. Visible light is a small segment of this electromagnetic spectrum.

Genesis
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Now scientist are saying the same thing, the electromagnetic spectrum is the start of all matter.

I have looked up Gregg Braden and Tom Bearden. The information is very scientific and very interesting.

Look at DNA, 90% is junk. It is now being studied that this may be a memory storage. Past generations would have stored data in your dna simular to a micrchip of today’s computers. Now look at the bible could this be information on the generational curses and generational blessings.

You wrote: “Your post is an excellent example of how the discussion of creationism/evolution has devolved. Instead of approaching this reasonably, scientifically, you mock God.”
BF: I don’t mock God — there is no evidence that a God exists. I mock people who believe in God.

You wrote: “And that is the crux of the entire issue — your rejection of creationism/ID (and embracing of evolution) is the result of your antipathy toward God, and not because of any factual/scientific reasons.”
BF: Wrong again. I have no antipathy toward God. There is no evidence there is a God, except in your imagination.

You wrote: “Thank you for illustrating my argument. I pray that you soon see the foolishness of hating your Creator, a Creator who has made a way for you to become reconciled with Him.”
BF: I don’t hate my “Creator.” See above.

The theory predicts many things, including that extant species will have some common ancestor in the past.

I agree

It does not, nor should it predict that there is a time limit on the lifetime of any species.

I agree that it currently does not, in principle, predict such a limit, however, I think it is premature to predict on your part, what a theory will or will not predict in the future as it acquires new information, or data. That's just my opinion mind you.

If you believe that evolution in any way states that a species 'must' evolve into a different species then you are mistaken. Not even Darwin believed that.

I don't harbor this belief.

The reason we believe populations to be extinct is because there is no evidence they exist today and their fossil record terminates 'relatively' abruptly.

Which is why I brought it up, since it was conceivable that such a prediction could have been made on the basis of the fossil record, and if it was, then would indeed have been damaging, at some level to the theory. I defer to your expertise though, and we can agree that such is not the case.

Predictions in science are specific statements.

I couldn't agree more...general as it is.

Expectations are the logical consequences of the evolutionary thought process.

I'm not quite sure how to interpret this, nevertheless, do you think that incorrect expectations regarding the dynamics of matter in the hard sciences, such as physics and chemistry, have a negative impact on a given, or related, theory.

You're very welcome, and I pray that he continues to do well.

I am sure he will be fine...his follow checkups have been excellent, and he is diligent in keeping all his follow up appointments(with me checking up that he is following up on everything), so the ‘expectation’ (there is that word again), is that he will have no further problems in the future..

Again, thanks for your good and kind wishes for his health...and for your prayers as well...tho you and I may disagree on this whole creation/evolution debate, I would assure you that the hubby and I both have a fine personal relationship with our Lord, lean heavily on prayer, and are confident of our futures, no matter what may happen..

Yes, it is sad that so many believe in the anti-God fable of evolution.

Evolution Happens.

Well if the ark didn’t hold all the animals that exist on Earth where do all the animals we have now come from? Evolution. Please stop being a fool.

I have no problem with Evolution. I thought we were talking about the supposed "errors" in scripture? You cited three, two of which did not even refer to something taught in the bible, and the third was such a morass of incoherence that I could not even figure out if you were trying to say something, nor how you were supporting yourself in the argument.

I can understand you wanting to change the subject, and if you don't respond, we will mark this down as "another sophomore biology student who knows way more than the facts will allow." If you prefer, you can go back to the original response and we can follow up from there.

Had there been an actual DOME we would have crashed through it. Now, I’d be willing to even believe that it’s metaphorical, but still...

there is no Hebrew word for "dome." The closest we have is the word for "cupola" found in the description of the sacrificial laws in Exodus and Leviticus, but that word is not used here. The word is indistinct, with possible meanings of " expanse" or " belt" or "radius" or "region." I am not sure what translation you are using, but I think the choice of english words is a poor one. It has clearly confused you.

I am not sure what it (the "dome") refers to. Some people argue for a "layer" of moisture surrounding the earth, a kind of thick water cloud. This would - as present pseudoscience re: global warming has pointed out - tend to warm the planet and reduce the extremes, making the entire planet relatively tropical in temp.

there is no evidence that a God exists

quite possibly one of the most stupid statements ever made on free republic.

Someoen mentioend that the Grand Canyon couldn’t have been carved by flood waters rapidly and that is in fact not true, great massive canyons have been carved very rapidly, sometimes in matterso f days as localized floods and volcanic eruptions of mud ripped down htrough solid rock leaving 500 foot trenches in their pathway.

Do you know how deep the Grand Canyon is? What is your mechanism for preventing the sides of the canyon slumping in as it is cut, since they would be just layers of mud in a global flood model?

layers of mud? The canyon walls are rock, and I’m sure the walls did cave in at points whatever hte erosion mechanism was, but if you go to thosel inks I gave, it shows canyons cut with steep walls during massive rapid catastrophies in our recent past. Mt. St. Helens even has canyons that were created when the mountain erupted.

The grand canyon Actually has quite a bit of ‘evidences’ that might suggest rapid formation, and flood model as well as some features that would ‘seem’ to suggest another mechanism for erosion such ax slow erosion- the point being that while some evidences that seemingly point ot rapid creation can be hypothesised away, other evidences simply can’t, and somne evidences that seemignly point toslow erosion can be hypothsised way, but other evidneces can’t- but to state that there isn’t evidences for rapid erosion isn’t being quite honest. Both sides have strong points, snd it’s a situation where people should just agree to dissagree.
