@newjaninev2 I ran from nothing. I answered all of your questions multiple times and you ran away from my responses through diversion and continuously switching the topic and bringing out false analogies, but never actually addressing my content.
@SW-User As I said... much as you are now once again running away
Please stop wasting everyone’s time
What’s ‘micro speciation’?
Are you saying that seconds and minutes exist, but there are no hours?
Do you feel that their frequency and distribution of alleles don’t change?

@newjaninev2 Complete projection. In reality, you are the only one wasting time here, as you are wasting my time by making me repeat myself over and over and when I do respond to you, you run away.
But fine. I'll repeat myself again. Here we go:
Okay, Micro speciation...so, when scientists have done all those genetic experiments on fruit flies because fruit flies have such a short life span and we have 100's and 100's of generations of fruit flies and they've developed different characteristics, different eye colors, different wings but they never turn into something else of significant difference. This is an example of speciation or adaptation. Yet not once has a fruit fly ever turned into anything different from a fruit fly. What your side is going to tell me is that we need millions of years to get that to happen.
An atheist scientist refuted this idea that evolution takes place in small increments over long periods of time. His name was Francis Galton. It's in his doctrine of filial regression. He showed that it is impossible for evolution to take place over long periods of time in short increments.
Darwin's finches on the Galapagos is another good example of micro speciation or adaptation. I see this as the fact that the program is complicated enough to adapt. Rather than evolution, because evolution requires such a big leap. That is merely an example of the programmer who made the program adapt to the environment and not transforming into something else.
I believe that flightless cormorants and ostriches are devolved species from the original birds. I don't believe that all the species that exist today existed at the creation. We are living in a fallen state. The way that I would define evolution would be a fall back to primordial structure. It isn't a moving forward, it's a moving back. That is what is demonstrated in reality. The exact opposite of what you guys believe. That's the basic biblical worldview.
We haven't evolved. We have devolved. In Genesis, the original man, even after the fall, lived hundred and hundred of years. So there's been a devolution and a breaking down of the genetic program. Scientifically, we see that things decline over time. They don't get better. That's basically one way I explain speciation. Devolving from more ancient and primordial structure.
I find it hilarious how evolutionists and atheists mock the fact that the Bible records man living 100's and 100's of years. That is less wilder than what toy guys propose. Think about it: in the beginnings days, it was a completely different environment under completely different conditions and therefore man's genes were also different, enabling him to live much longer, and those genes declined over time, as the genetic material and everything in the universe is declining (entropy). So, what genesis records isn't so hard to believe it you really think about it. You guys propose that millions of years allowed a kind to produce a different kind. That is far harder to believe and far wilder.
A squirrel is a different kind than a bat, yet evolutionists teach that bats evolved from flying squirrels. An amphibian is a different kind than a fish, yet evolutionists say that amphibians evolved from a lobe finned lungfish. Birds are a different kind than dinosaurs, yet evolutionists teach that birds evolved from theropods. Mammals are a different kind and group than reptiles. Yet evolutionists teach that mammals evolved from a group of reptiles called the synapsids. All coming directly from the mouths of the most well respected experts in evolutionary biology and from their textbooks. You cannot provide any proof that one kind can produce a different kind like these examples listed, because there isn't an iota of proof for it.
Now again onto your great diversion and red herring of falsely equating believing in seconds and minutes but not hours with believing micro evolution but not macro evolution. This is your escape into semantics because you are confronted with the fact that micro evolution has been observed whereas macro evolution has not. Seconds, minutes, and hours have all been observed. Hours have been observed. Of course we can argue about time itself being an illusion and the clock and numbers being an invention of man, because of course, numbers themselves don't exist in nature, merely patterns. We ascribe numbers to those patterns. Anyway, like I said, it is a totally irrelevant and faulty analogy. But you have to use that because you can't address my questions about macro evolution itself.
Answer to your last question - No. As I have already answered many times, as well as all of the other questions. But I know, just like before, you will not specifically respond to any of this, but will evade it and very slickly divert the focus of attention to something else, because you can't face the cognitive dissonance that would come to you after your science fiction religion comes falling down. I get it, your whole world view would have to change, which means your life would change, and that is too big for you to handle. I've gone through it. It's a hard but worthwhile and rewarding process. Trust me.
On another note, I plead with you to start looking at the bigger picture of life and really consider the value of your life. It is far too valuable to be wasting your time and life (a gift that God has given you) on science falsely so called. I don't want you to have to wait till the end to realize what is truly important. I have said it before and I will say it again, you will see that the only thing that matters in the end is Jesus Christ.
On your death bed as an unbeliever, you have no security. Everything changes, the world changes, the seasons change, your clothes wear out, your job wears out. You cannot get security in an insecure world. It doesn't matter how much wealth and possessions you have amassed or how many degrees you've attained, you are going to leave all of it behind and none of that can help you in your final hour. Everything on this earth is gonna burn. Everything but one thing does not change - Jesus Christ. Accepting Jesus Christ is the only way you can gain security.
This is a reality. It really does not matter if you consider this to be outside of the realm of reason and logic, it is reality. We cannot fit the infinite God into our 3 pound brain, so it is absurd to think that you can fit the infinite God into the limited and small box of proof and evidence that us humans have created with our limited minds - minds that do not even know 5 percent of what exists in the universe...about 96 percent is made of stuff astronomers can't even see.
You can see less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum and hear less than 1% of the acoustic spectrum. And that electromagnetic spectrum is only a fraction of what exists in the observable/visible universe. Since Heaven and Hell are unseen and lie in the future, they are denied by materialistic evolutionists. How absolutely foolish. The last words of Thomas Paine were: "I would give worlds if I had them, that the Age of Reason had never been published. O, Lord, help me!"
Don't base your life and worldview around what some "logic" professor who teaches vain philosophy has arbitrarily decided what reason is. He is not the arbiter of reason. God is. Besides, how can philosophy teachers at the University, all of whom teach solipsism and relativism, even claim to be the holders of the meaning of reason? Solipsism and relativism are the very opposite of reason. They're out of their minds. Unbelievers are unreasonable because the god that roams this earth has blinded their minds:
"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." 2 Corinthians 4:4
You see us Christians as unreasonable, but we are the real reasonable ones because we take into account the big picture; our life is merely one dash between two dates and then after that is all of eternity. Everyone is on a line and that line is heading towards a cliff and tons of people are falling off. Don't you want to know how to get off the line? And then after figuring out how to get off the line, warn others? This is your eternal destination we are talking about here. All of that which is deceiving you and preventing you from accepting Christ will have you in the deepest state of regret on your death bed.
I pray that you would be set free from the chains of the enemy and his God rejecting minions, who are the most unreasonable of men: "And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith." 2 Thessalonians 3:2
I figure life very likely exists in abundance throughout the cosmos, and so would exist on this water bearing planet lying well within the habitable zone of its host star as well. The report mentions "K2-18b's size and gravity would make it difficult for the world to support life" however I figure if it did sustain any life forms they would probably trend smaller and closer to the ground due to oxygenation and load on the heart. Just a guess.
Now excuse me while I point my Celestron PowerSeeker 114 Newtonian reflector to Saturn before I spill any beer.
@newjaninev2 That picture is incredible. Mentally I know the universe is huge and we are a tiny speck, but damn. 200 years of signals, and thats how far we have gotten??? Insane!
