    You genuinely thought that a comment about shoving a carrot up the rear
    end of a lawnmower, thereby destroying it, fit perfectly right after a
    comment in which you tell us that the "Manufacturer's Instructions" are for
    sex to be for a man & a woman (note the subtle hate in that comment) &
    that this is in no way gay bashing?

    Please stop embarassing yourself!!!
    ... and trivialising a serious issue ... real violence and hatred against homosexual people ... and other minorities.

    You know words can be just as filled with hatred as acts of violence. Your post clearly has obvious homophobic undertones. No one is trivialising homophobia although to a point we're trivialising your denial of the underlying implication of the post.. Also Direct creation and intelligent design aren't facts, no matter how much you claim them to be.

    Uh-huh. You tell yourself that the next time he puts something phallic into a hole he shouldn't. I'm sure you could pray harder to make sure.

    The hate-filled words on this thread were directed at the Amish.

    ... and the advocacy of religious-based job discrimination was directed against Creationists

    ... and you are complaining because I made an obvious statement of fact ... that it is best to follow the Manufacturers Instructions because things work best when you do ... get over it!!!

    Unlike you guys, nobody is saying that you must follow any instructions ... or that you should hate or discriminate against anybody who doesn't!!!

    The exact same could be said about the post that you don't want us to criticise.

    Could you link to some posts that do this as I don't have time to wade through 480 pages.... And I can't help but doubt the truthfulness of your statements....

    JC do you have access to a library?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,038 ✭✭✭sponsoredwalk


    If so, pick any one of the following books:

    http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Oxford-Readers-Mark-Ridley/dp/0199267944/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325807964&sr=8-1

    http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Second-Douglas-Futuyma/dp/0878932232/ref=pd_sim_b_4

    http://www.amazon.com/Evolutionary-Biology-Douglas-J-Futuyma/dp/0878931899/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325884210&sr=1-2

    http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Stephen-Stearns/dp/0199255636/ref=sr_1_45?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325884107&sr=1-45

    http://www.amazon.com/Evolutionary-Analysis-Scott-Freeman/dp/0132275848/ref=pd_sim_b_6

    Since you're such an expert on evolution every one of the above books
    will be a piece of cake, bedtime fairytale reading. Thus it should be easy
    for you to go through line by line whichever of the above books you pick
    & point out the flaws & lies to us all. I have/can get any of these books
    so I'd like you to teach me why evolution is flawed, on a technical level,
    & convert me to creationism - in this very thread. Think of it as a way to,
    through me, convert every reader of this thread to creationism because
    if you dismantle the technical arguments we have nothing. I'm talking
    serious, chapter by chapter, dismantling - in the name of converting
    evolutionismists on their own ground. Well?

    The e-books are copyright and don't allow copying.

    If you can put up your own selected extracts I will be happy to address them.

    You'll notice I first asked you whether you had access to a library.
    This way you can pick your favourite of the above books, read a chapter
    & then post your thoughts on it & let us know where the flaws are. I (&
    anybody else who wants to join in) can then see how well your analysis
    of the chapter is. Then either you poke holes in the fairytale of evolution,
    spreading the word of god to those of us who have been lied to all our
    lives or else maybe you'll start to see that evolution makes a bit of
    sense.

    If what you're saying is really true this should be easy & you'd literally
    be doing gods work by not only getting people to question religion
    again but you would be spreading the truth to us indoctrinated souls.
    If it's not flawed then you'd have sought out truth. I don't see why this
    is something you wouldn't want to do...

    J C would never go near a library unless it was full of bibles. Gods forbid he might learn something not allegedly said by Jebus.

    It's even more amazing that someone living in the developed world, using apparent technology (that all required Intelligent Design of significant quantity and quality) would believe that the vastly greater 'hi-tec' processes found in living systems were spontanously produced using random processes ... with a bit of 'selection' done after the damage was/is done by random mutagenesis!!!

    This little gem shows why the opportunity to enlighten us all offered by sponsoredwalk's suggestion will not be seized upon. JC does not understand evolution; merely some bastardized version of same, cobbled together from various jagwagons' opinions read on creationist websites.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    Im a little confused, jc. are you attacking abiogenisis or the process of evolution? is your argument that god created everything as is found today?

    Being a former evolutionist I understand it all too well.
    ... but, if I am wrong, this is your opportunity to enlighten me ... and showcase your knowledge of the subject.

    Reading through the Book 'Evolution' by Mark Ridley, I find myself in agreement with many things that he writes.

    However, my critical disagreement with the modern synthesis is the assumption that because creatures clearly change over generations, such as bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics (by selection and loss of pre-existing CFSI) that Bacteria can therrefore eventually become Beauticians and Butchers (which would involve the acquisition of gargantuan quantities of high quality new CFSI).
    The conclusion that because small changes occur using pre-existing CFSI that large changes can occur by producing new CFSI is a logical fallicy known as a non-sequitur ... because the conclusion does not follow from its premises.

    I am not 'attacking' anything ... merely following wherever the evidence leads.

    ... and yes, both Abiogenesis and macro-evolution have the same difficulties ...
    ... the problems are accepted by Evolutionists in the case of Abiogenesis ... but not acknowledged by Evolutionists in the case of macro-evolution.

    ... and my argument isn't that God created everything as it is found today ... speciation and micro-evolution by Natural/Sexual/Artificial Selection within Kinds (of existing CFSI) are observable facts.
    ... my argument is that macro-evolution ... from Prokaryotes to Piano Players ... (which involves the production of vast quantities of new CFSI) is an impossibility.

    But it's already been shown on this thread that the entire concept of CSFI is meaningless pseudoscientific bulldung.

    So you are saying that all creature are as they have always been? by what process do you think god used in their creation


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Oh, you brought up cfsi again. Does this mean you finally found the spine to debunk that paper which shows cfsi up to be utter rubbish?

    Just to be clear. Youre hypothesis allows for a land animal to over time evolve into creatures like whales?
