Atheists! Is this true ?? (Page 3) StuckInTheSixties: Thanks, but I doubt of Talent_M will go for it, even though all objective, tangible scientifically obtained evidence substantiates it. KrAsH: I would tell the doubters of evolution to listen to this lecture in the link below,but you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink it http://www.virology.ws/2010/05/10/virology-lecture-22-evolution/ StuckInTheSixties: Well, let me just ask the evolution deniers a simple question: What would convince you that evolution is a valid, truthful concept? What would it take? KrAsH: Muslims will want it in writing in their book,the christians the same,and space boy....well who the fzx& knows with space boy StuckInTheSixties: Let 'em answer for themselves, Krash. One more time, evolution deniers: What would it take to convince you that the Theory of Evolution was a truthful concept? Robert_Paulson: 'great, the evolution is true, but where is it today!!?? ' This has been explained to u ad nauseum and you know it. There are 2 reasons why you choose not to accept evolution and instead ask ridiculous questions such as the one above - 1) You dont UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY 2) You are AFRAID because it may conflict with your religous belief. It is not only important to understand the process of evolution not only because of the practical reasons such as health, medicine and educational purposes. IT IS the answer to where we came from. Its the journey of the human race, and ALL life on our planet. Evolution is far more beautiful and majestic than any religious manuscript. More amazing than the Qu'ran and the bible combined. And furthermore its a true story! It tells us our human history; that we all came from the same place and have the same history. Evolution make racism illogical. Contarary to most religions which are full of intolerance and only serve to divide us. 'great, the evolution is true, but where is it today!!?? ' For the answer to this, and for more evidence of evolution, to see fossils, to see all the intermediates of man as well as any other animal just go visit a good museum! (But you probably wont be able to do this, as im no doubt that your religious leaders have probably destroyed the museums and all the evidence contained within, thinking it best for their people, that they not know their REAL history) Talent_M: "The evolution today is all around you, in every living thing. " give an example, in present. Talent_M: "1) You dont UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY" LOL "2) You are AFRAID because it may conflict with your religous belief." SPIRIT-ONE: look around you ,why I just saw some 'pond scum' crawl out of the muck and mire and begin to walk upright , a friend was at the local zoo and saw an 'ape' turn into a man . isn't evolution great ,glad the Atheist taught me all about what I didn't understand of the evolution process ,now I can see it happening all around me they are so shmart StuckInTheSixties: Talent_M, you yourself are an example of the result of natural selection, as I am, as our species, H&^$ Sapiens, is, as all species are. I've answered your question. Can you answer mine? What would it take to convince you that the Theory of Evolution was a truthful concept? splitter: Probably a new brain or at least a thorough brainwash... Have you tried to tune an AM radio to the FM wavelength? All you get is statics and noise! Talent_M: "Talent_M, you yourself are an example " yeh yeh true me were octopus...lol...sorry I can't help myself StuckInTheSixties: I suspect it's stubbornness more than stupidity. Do any other disbelievers in evolution care to answer my question ... What would it take to convince you that the Theory of Evolution was a truthful concept? Robert_Paulson: 'What would it take to convince you that the Theory of Evolution was a truthful concept? ' Like i said before, its just fear that stops them accepting it. 'yeh yeh true me were octopus...lol.' This is oversimplified and prooves that you dont fully understand evolution. We may not directly be related to the octopus but we do share a common ancestor. We share less genetic material with reptiles, octopi, insects or bacteria, though we STILL carry the same genes. We are more closely related to some animals, such as the chimpanzee, with whom we share 97% of our DNA (we DONOT come from chimpanzee, but share a common primate-like ancestor) EVERY 2 SPECIES ON THE PLANET SHARE A COMMON ANCESTOR IN THE PAST. ALL life on earth is connected and related, that is certain and proved by genetic evidence. I dont know how i can explain it any simpler for you to understand. You are indeed a primate, the same as everyone elso here on this forum. Talent_M: "I suspect it's stubbornness more than stupidity." me is stubborn!!?? come on man, don't you know our eyes is semilar to octopus eye!? @ robert let's assume I don't know any anything about evolution theory! fine you said that we are not apes but we share about 97% of Chimpanzee DNA,so what does this prove!? I understood from you as though we are not apes but we are chimpanzees!,I want to know what was the origin of apes ancestor however I'm fully disagree about such percentage! SPIRIT-ONE: we share 99% DNA with a pig [swine] ,everyone that eats such an abomination is guilty of CANNABALISM StuckInTheSixties: Talent_M, I'm going to give one last try at getting you to give a serious answer to a serious question: What would it take to convince you that the Theory of Evolution was a truthful concept? Robert_Paulson: 'fine you said that we are not apes' I did not say that! I know enough about evolution to know this is a ridiculous thing to say. Or is this just more disingenous thinking of yours in an attempt to steer this debate in some other direction? You ARE an ape. You ARE a primate the same as I. The same as anyone on this forum. Before this debate goes any further i suggest u go research evolution, become familiar with the concept. Read articles and books by renowned zoologists and biologists, not the pseudo-science nonsense of Harun Yahya satangel: That is absolutely correct, Robert. If you really want to know the true essence of something, seek the opinion of professional critics/analysts/examiners and read their impartial conclusions, instead of swallowing the twisted messages of biased propagandists. That goes for religion as well as science. If you close your eyes, ears and mind to critic, you become dishonest to yourself. _SnugglePot_: ORIGINAL STATEMENT: Is it really true that most of the atheists deep deep deep down they know that there is God ? let's be honest Now I haven't read this in its entirety but skimmed. Being a non god faring child, I in all honesty do not deep deep deep down think there's a god. Science makes sense, religion doesn't. My scripture teacher would get most upset at my questioning about evolution and dinosaurs, insisting that life started on earth solely by God hand and since God wasn't around when the dinosaur where then they didn't exist. So I asked whose bones are being unearthed then. The bible is a story that has been interpreted to suit those in power who wish to have followers. pioneer: Religious dishonesty is not only closing your mind to counter-arguments, but also continuing to believe without checking whether the criticism is well-founded. The real dishonesty is refusing to give the critics of your faith the benefit of the doubt and evaluating their arguments with the eyes of an outsider instead of just ignoring them. | Religion Chat Room 35 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
