Evolution according to Darwin may not be impossible, but it is darn sure improbable.

What were we talking about?
Oh... The fact that you are wrong.

Wow another creationist thread where the Creationists willfully misinterpret how evolution works to try to disprove it.
no this is a thread to discuss how evolution is used by the antiChristian's known as atheists to fully misrepresent science, and a minority group doing science a great injustice because they have little knowledge or intellect.
this is also a topic about how atheists are not educators but more like preachers...

One of the reasons young adults feel disconnected from church or from faith is the tension they feel between Christianity and science.
The most common of the perceptions in this arena is "Christians are too confident they know all the answers" (35%).
Three out of ten young adults with a Christian background feel that "churches are out of step with the scientific world we live in" (29%).
Another one-quarter embrace the perception that "Christianity is anti-science" (25%).
And nearly the same proportion (23%) said they have "been turned off by the creation-versus-evolution debate."
Furthermore, the research shows that many science-minded young Christians are struggling to find ways of staying faithful to their beliefs and to their professional calling in science-related industries.

I find it interesting that you choose to withdraw just when the most interesting questions are being asked. Are you sure your weak argument has nothing to do with your departure from this thread?edit on 18-11-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

The great irony to all this is that some hardline creationists believe that if science somehow undermined modern evolutionary synthesis then creationism would be correct - which is, of course, another great fallacy. Invalidating one theory in no way validates another. It would simply mean a new theory must be sought which explained the observed facts.
how then does something come from nothing... It is a great mystery.
Observation of our surrounding and the natural world would suggest that things are created.
plant seeds are created after pollination... offspring are created after fertilization... buildings are created after they are built, ect ect.
There you go! See this is what I was talking about. What you JUST did right there is misrepresent Evolution. Evolution doesn't explain how something can come from nothing. The Big Bang Theory and Abiogenesis talk to those points depending on which something from nothing you are referring to (living or inanimate). They are NOT part of the theory of evolution though.edit on 18-11-2013 by Krazysh0t because: (no reason given)

Evolution does not cover origins of life.
You should know that by now.

watch videos much?
I watched the video in your OP long before you ever posted it here.
there is a video in the OP.
Indeed, there is. Let me insert something from the T&C of this site:
15k.) Video links/embeds: You will not embed or Post a link to a video without a reasonable description of its content and why it interests you, is germane to the topics discussed on the Websites or the topic of an existing thread should you post it in a reply to an existing thread.
You provided no discussion points or evidence outside of the video. Videos are meant to be supplementary to the argument you're crafting, not the other way around. So please, by all means, feel free to expound upon how modern evolutionary synthesis is "being used by atheists to attack Christians, being used by the Establishment that be to remove moral balances and checks, and the effects that has had upon society and civility".
character assassination of the guy who made the video is one thing, it can not be denied the questions raised are interesting.
They're only interesting to someone who isn't aware of what quote mining is, and someone who doesn't really have a firm grasp on what modern evolutionary synthesis claims and the evidence to support those claims.

And yet you cannot explain to us where your god comes from? Interesting.
Cogito, Ergo Sum
the chap in the video is simply telling the truth.

Yeah, apparently it requires no belief at all to accept that an unimaginably complex magic man just happened to already exist for reasons unknown.....

your attempt at dividing and conquering was a weak one... if that.
please read the "Art of War" and apply some of these more advanced player tactics to your argument.

Try again, this time read my "whole" post and not just the parts you think you're able to poke with straws.

would you agree that facts change?
would you believe that our understanding changes at a great pace and that we sometimes learn that truth is something we otherwise took for granted?

darkbakeThe theory of evolution as it is currently being used without believing in any spirit or life force is not just unbelievable, it is an outright lie. LIE. As in can be proven false.
