how exactly would you like me to prove it to you? you want me to come to your house and bring you the skeleton so you yourself can examine it? :confused: i'm asking you a very simple question. what would you accept as proof of a transitional fossil IF NOT the common attributes of two...

yeah good one candle! :eek: like we haven't tried the UN path for the past 11 years... USA attacking Iraq through its armed forces is NOT an act of terrorism,....i don't know where the hell you got that from... btw, you sure have changed your tune recently...wasn't too long ago you...

what do you mean "show the transition"????? the skeleton has features common to man and features that would be described as "ape-like". BOTH. what more could you want in a transitional fossil??? and if you really think that man only dates back 6k years...well, buddy, i really think the...

ok, you're obviously too caught up in trying to prove your religion to be true (what a hopeless task that is!) to see what is pretty obvious to everyone else, BUT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO INTRODUCED EVOLUTION TO THIS THREAD YOU JERK!

The thing is 'Boat, you either believe in god or you don't. You might not like having the "stigma" of atheism attached to you, but if you don't hold a positive belief in "god", you are an atheist. Atheism is simply the absence of a positive belief in theism (ie, "god"). You either hold such a...

hmm, not too many unprofitable traders at ET i see :)

so with a swift wave of his hand aphex, the eternal idiot, dismisses a an informational website as complete bs simply because it entirely discredits his position. great going buddy! of course, if aphie really had something, wouldn't you think he'd have answered at least a few of the...

thanks 'Boat. i just used Lucy cos it's been around for so long and is so well documented.

what the hell do you think "creation" would be if not a "POOF - there it is" phenomenon?

gee, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with looking after their own interests could it?? :confused:

"controversial" is a good word to describe ritter. that fact that he's adamantly talked out of both sides of his mouth means we have to take anything he says with a HUGE grain of salt.

so if the US attacked Israel everything would be alright then? :) SOME of your points about the Israel/Palestine issue are quite valid. i think i've asked you this before, but instead of just bashing the israeli government, what kind of solution would you propose? (you can hardly blame the...

Well 'Cator, as far as I'm concerned, you are decidedly wrong. The word spirituality has a specific meaning in the english language. so if we want to express a certain idea and make it understandable to others, we need be carefully select the words we use - lest the meaning we desire to...

oh boy, i feel a sales seminar comin' on! :) giddyup!

Buddy, ever heard of the skeleton "Lucy", or, in scientific terms, Australopithecus afarensis? If you don't accept THAT as transitional evidence, then WHAT WOULD you accept? Anyway, there is no point bringing up evolution. Whether or not you accept evolution as a valid scientific theory...

when we are talking about the existance of god, surely you would think that we are well and truly beyond that "point" at which we can just use our "impressions".

That's just the problem with theists, 'Boat. They will not accept ANYTHING as "evidence to the contrary".

like i've said before, the only question that christians and theists need to bother to answer is, "if it can be shown your beliefs are irrational or unsubstantiated, would you be willing to change them?" i have yet to meet one christian that has answered "yes , i would". since that's usually...

yet, if it wasn't for the brain's tendency to "attach" no learning would be possible..

well, according to the scientific community, the theory of evolution is considered just as valid as the theory of gravity or the germ theory of disease. it may not be incontrovertible, indisputable, pure, through and through FACT, but is scientifically valid nevertheless. anyway, no point...
