Sure is hard to debate or discuss evolution when people make the argument : "but the bible says!"

I believe in the bible but I don't just automatically dispute science. I'll keep an open mind if you will.

lol no you haven't. And if i asked you to clarify then you'd make another feeble deflection. But whatever makes you feel better.

Come back when you're ready to do more than just try and save face 😉

@Aulani:

Well i'm glad to hear it. Is there anything that you don't understand about evolution or that seems unbelievable to you? For example to use a cliche "if humans evolved from apes why are there still apes" ?

for some people, that is their belief...and thats ok

@UnparalleledMonster: And youre wrong yet again. Faith does not mean that you do not have evidence, it simply means that you accept that you cant know it for a fact. Even if you have strong evidence for it, some faith may still be required. You have to think outside of your box...

@MartinTheFirst:

Well if we can't agree on the meaning of terms then this avenue of discussion can go no further.

I can relate to that but there is no new knowledge what will come out of this debate.

@PsychoMantis

Not necessarily. You'd be shocked at the ignorance some people still have about evolution. For example i still frequently hear the argument presented with complete sincerity " If humans evolved from apes then why are there still apes?".

We can teach those people

@UnparalleledMonster: Yea, but some people don't like being educated.

No, no. Kali asked why debate evolution and you said that was a great point "And with christians too". I took this to mean that you thought it was odd to debate evolution with christians.
My apologies if i misinterpreted your meaning.

@UnparalleledMonster: Something once wrong, can be proved wrong with false evidence, leading the entierty into a direction further away from right. Simple.
MetalGreymon · 36-40, M
@MartinTheFirst:

And what reason do we have to suppose the evidence is false?

@UnparalleledMonster: many religious people believe in evolution.... even the bible states it took time for the universe to begin...to where life could be sustained.
