God Created [Spirituality & Religion]

I will be removing all rude and condescending comments.

There are currently 829 comments and so many of them are rude and condescending!

Currently, there is a rather misleading thread which asks...

"For my creationist friends who reject that evolution has occurred: What do you consider to be the best COUNTER-EVIDENCE that evolution has occurred?"

This question is misleading. Most Creationists believe that God created a world with many Kinds of creatures and that these creatures multiplied and grew in diversity. We believe that God used genes as building blocks for creatures in the same way that we might use cement to build very different structures. Similarities between creatures that are of different Kinds are simply the result of having the same building blocks. A dome structure and a skyscraper might both use cement but the similarity means nothing. It means nothing in biology as well.

Similarities between organisms might be used to classify organisms but using similarities to make assumptions about origins is ridiculous!

I am, however, thankful that God gave each Kind of creature the genetic ability to become diverse. So, we have many kinds of birds... many breeds of dogs... etc. Some call this ability evolution... but it does not imply that dogs came from an ancient bacterial ancestor. lolol.

So, does evolution occur? Yes, within each Kind of animal, of course! Does that mean that Darwin's dream might have merit? Of course not. The intricacies of nature and the masterful use of genetic building blocks implies a Creator... an organic architect and engineer.

The fossil record disagrees with you, chief.

@OggggO

The fossil record disagrees with you, chief.

How do you know?

OggggO · 36-40, M

@GodSpeed63 I can see.

GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M

@OggggO

I can see.

I can see also but are we looking at the same fossil record?

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@OggggO You can see what? A bunch of petrified plant and animal remains of some extinct species?

Pikachu

@GodSpeed63

Of course we are.
This is where we point to an example of a fossil showing transitional features and you claim that it is either damaged or a hoax.

Just letting you know that the fossil shows no transitional features is all. None.

@GodSpeed63 Congrats, you're blind.

GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M

@OggggO

Congrats, you're blind.

I doubt that.

OggggO · 36-40, M

@GodSpeed63 If you can't see the transitional features in various fossils that have been shown to you, you're blind, either physically or intellectually.

@OggggO The issue is that people have worn transitional sunglasses when there are not transitions.

OggggO · 36-40, M

@NewBecky No, the issue is people like you who ignore evidence that is as clear as day because it doesn't fit your ideology.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@OggggO Evidence must be agreed upon as actually being evidence. If you find a rock at the bottom of a hill. Is it evidence of a person putting it there or is it evidence of the rock rolling down the hill? Evidence seems to support both theories.

NewBecky · 51-55, F

@OggggO An example of transitional sunglasses being exposed...

@hippyjoe1955 Wow, I have read some stupid shit, but that's impressive.

OggggO · 36-40, M

@NewBecky I honestly could not give less of a shit about your nonsensical sources.

NewBecky · 51-55, F

@OggggO "No, the issue is people like you who ignore evidence that is as clear as day because it doesn't fit your ideology." :)

OggggO · 36-40, M

@NewBecky Dude, I've heard the arguments before, they don't hold water. At this point, he's trying to disprove a building by saying a single brick is kinda crumbly.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@OggggO So you have the evidence that a monkey became a man? A dog became a whale? Such is the claims made by the fossil record 'experts'.

NewBecky · 51-55, F

@OggggO No... very strong evidence that the entire idea that Lucy was a missing link was really only a fabricated lie... People are desperate for missing links... Lucy was a laugh!

OggggO · 36-40, M

@hippyjoe1955 Yes, we have that evidence. It's been presented to you repeatedly. I'm not interested in another game of pigeon chess, so unless you have something to offer besides "nuh-uh" over and over, I will not be continuing this line of discussion with you.

OggggO · 36-40, M

@NewBecky Yawn.

You can repeat that as often as you want but when actually put on the spot to explain why such features should not be considered transitional, your responses become tellingly vague...

I already explained those pictures to you. If you can't accept my explanation, that's your problem.

Pikachu

@GodSpeed63

I already explained those picture to you.

lmao yeah, your "explanation" was a bald assertion that they weren't examples of transition. A claim for which you offered no justification.

If that's the level of explanation that creationists bring to the table, its your own fault that more and more people accept evolution and fewer and fewer buy into creationism.

So thanks for your contribution😉
