I thought I heard a hummingbird break wind. God will not be mocked. In a hundred years, it will be Richard who?

Science actually is transparent in a way that religion is not.

Ya, just like global warming science. The author drank too much of the coolaid.

[NakedRampage]

Actually, there was a literal first couple. Because God's bible says so. Simple as that.

But also, this is nothing but conjecture. Studies prove this and studies prove that and chewing gum causes cancer but the other study says no, gum PREVENTS cancer.

Studies come and studies go -- God's word is forever.

...anatomically modern humans emerged from primate ancestors about 100,000 years ago, from a population of something like 10,000.

I am not a scientist, so sometimes the subtlety of their arguments escapes me, but don't those "10,000" have a genome that originated somewhere, or is the assumption that those 10,000 spontaneously generated?

“Enns declares that this is not so. “The years of training and experience required of those who work in fields that touch on evolution rules out of bounds the views of those who lack such training,” he writes.”

What arrogant claptrap! I dare those who have been steeped in an academic “doublethink” are often those with the least ability to evaluate the reasonableness of the evidence.

The Human Genome Project is just renamed and repackaged Eugenics of the sort that led to over a quarter million forced sterilizations OF US CITIZENS, IN THE US, and ultimately led to the Nazi gas chambers.

Make no doubt about it, these folks are cultists of the worst type, funded by the worlds ruling elite. They want massive depopulation and world government.

I highly recommend this shocking book for those wanting a more in depth, well researched and documented explanation.

Actually I’ve always thought natural science museums could do a bit better job with displays of the innumerable examples of transitional fossil sequences.

[allmendream]

Those who accept literally the story of Noah - and think all species on Earth are descended from those “kinds” of animals that could fit on a Ark - believes in evolution and the (semi) common descent of species.

Moreover they believe evolution happens at a rate far in excess of that ever proposed by any competent evolutionary biologist.

And yet they claim to not believe in evolution.

They are obviously quite confused.

[GeronL]

A lot of the stories in the Bible are used to make a point rather be literal. “Eating from the tree of knowledge” is obviously a description of humans learning and retaining what they learned. That is when humans separated themselves from the animals after all, when we became “self aware”. Actions have consequences, Adam and Eve hid themselves because they realized their thoughts and actions are transparent to God, they are “naked” to him.

I guess that is one way to interpret Genesis, I guess.

Would Dawkins say that this is also wrong? lol.

[SZonian]

"...what counts as evidence in science is pretty well-defined."

Didn't they say something similar about the AGW scam as well?

[Cardhu]

We can all look and enjoy a beautiful garden but only the children believe there are fairies at the bottom of it.

IF the Bible says it’s a myth, then it is. If It don’t, then it ain’t.

[Grunthor]

God created science.

[kidd]

...anatomically modern humans emerged from primate ancestors about 100,000 years ago, from a population of something like 10,000...

This is ignorance on display.

The author is apparently unaware of the population bottleneck caused by the Toba volcanic eruption some 70,000 years ago. Many theories suggest that we all evolved from as few as ten females. Plus or minus nine.

[RichInOC]

Even Richard Dawkins is Right Sometimes

“It ain’t necessarily so...
“It ain’t necessarily so...“

[PetroniusMaximus]

“Science actually is transparent in a way that religion is not. That’s because, in science land, there is nothing but to follow the evidence. It’s out on the table, after all, able and willing to be poked and prodded and analyzed and figured out and held up and turned around and looked at from new angles.”

A two word rebuttal:

Global Warming.

[arjay]

Absolute and utter nonsense.

[rigelkentaurus]

What makes a human unique is that he has a soul. The story of Genesis is the truth and science does not contradict it, but instead supports it. The Big Bang theory is the same sequence of events described in Genesis. The universe is 13.7 billion years old, but was made in 7 days - those are consistent statements. Science has shown by Einstien, that time is relative to the frame of reference. The 13.7 billion year age is from an earth reference. Seven days is from the reference envelope of the entire universe. An excellent easy to read book on this is the Science of God by Gerald Schroeder who is a physicist

Adam obtained his soul when God breathed the breath of life into his nostrils. Whether there were other homo erectus on earth is not addressed in the Bible and not terrbily important. Events then began unfolding rapidly for humans once he has a soul with the beginning to farm, and the bronze age.

[mas cerveza por favor]

This ruling-out has been accomplished recently by the Human Genome Project, which indicates that anatomically modern humans emerged from primate ancestors about 100,000 years ago

The author appears to be ignorant of the media's seamless record of slanting and falsifying scientific data to support the establishment worldview. Remember global warming (cooling?) and the "scientific" proof that gays are born that way?

Macro-evolution (as opposed to micro-evolution) has never been proven methods that do not require begging the question. Recent discoveries on the previously unimaginable complexity of cellular organelles demonstrate the impossibility of macro-evolution.
