All I know is you can't prove evolution started life anymore then I can with creation ,it's faith either way. But what I don't get is why one that believes in evolution feels the need to push it unless they are just looking for support to their beliefs.
Well let's start with this: The Theory of Evolution does not address the origin of life but rather the way life has diversified over time. Did you know that?
@Pikachu observe the course of events. If you observe carefully, you may see that events leave their marks within time both forwards and backwards. Look at eastern civilizations and their perceptions of time..
I've never observed anything but a linear cause to effect passage of time. But perception is just that: perception. That's why i asked if you could supply me with any objective measurement corroborated by predictive scientific observation of time being non-linear.
@Pikachu the question there is do I even care? Because I don't and it changes nothing it's your belief,good for you but no you won't and can't force feed me and pretend you can prove evolution not to me ,I've n Been around to long
Proof is for math. However, i can certainly give you irrefutable evidence that evolution has occurred. Or at least i can offer evidence which is better and more consistently explained by evolution than creation.
But if you don't care then one wonders why you bothered to post. No one is keeping you here.
If you're interested in learning then i'm interested in teaching. If not, let us go our separate ways ✌️
@Pikachu well what I said is I don't care about linear cause. Yes evolution does exist but none of that means all was started with evolution so proving that it exists means nothing nor does rational showing it's a better option then creation @Pikachu
Well evolution is just objectively a better explanation for the diversity of life on this planet than creation. God might exist and may have created life but if it did so then it did so using evolution as the mechanism just as it might use gravity to form the planets.
If you disagree that evolution more consistently and predictively accounts for the data than does creation, would you be willing to look at a few examples and see whether they are better accounted for by evolution or creation?
Ok! I don't want to ambush or bully you. So are you saying you're prepared to go toe to toe here and see if creation or evolution can more consistently and predictively account for what we see in the real world?
We're going to talk about the fossil record, genetics and ontogeny Do you consent to this discussion?
@Klingwood Ok! I don't want to ambush or bully you. So are you saying you're prepared to go toe to toe here and see if creation or evolution can more consistently and predictively account for what we see in the real world?

faith hass nothing to do with which is more reasonable
lol well we are in agreement there. But i was under the impression that you were interested in what is true and the ways we know it is true.
Do you want to challenge your faith beliefs against actual information? You didn't actually engage with human chromosome 2 and i don't think you want to engage with ERVs either. So are you actually interested in what is true or in preserving your belief?
Kingwood...i'm not trying to corner you or beat you. I'm trying to get you to think and to engage with me on this subject. Maybe let's start again: What objection or skepticism do you have regarding the theory of evolution? I'd be happy to address any issues.
Agreed. The Theory of evolution does not currently explain the origin of life. But it does explicitly preclude the creation story in the Bible. Are you ok with that?
