@earlesanborn – “cake shops”

– if it was just cakes, it wouldn’t be such an issue.  But the case is representative of the right to discriminate in wider society against people who’ve done nothing wrong.  This is why “minority” groups defend their seemingly-fairly-trivial position so vigorously.

@earlesanborn – “the unrealized hatred of God — is exhibited again. I know the reason people hate the thought of Jesus and his existence”

– you make it sound like people are evil if they don’t believe in God.

@earlesanborn – “Since science is not on the side of “being born LGBT””

– I grew up with someone who was obviously gay at the age of 5, and has stayed just as gay ever since.

So a bad theory – evolution- which many even evolutionary scientist admit now days has real problems due to the advancement in scientific knowledge in the past 200 years– can be used “because it has great explanatory power, for one reason”. I’m sorry Simon, but evolutionary logic has no real relevance to the natural world bec…

@earlesanborn – “the unrealized hatred of God — is exhibited again. I know the reason people hate the thought of Jesus and his existence.”

– you’ve got us all wrong.

1. we don’t hate God because we don’t believe in God.  We can’t hate something that we don’t believe exists.
2. why would we hate the thought of Jesus and his existence?  For what pos…

@earlesanborn – “essentially saying life has always existed and remains without a first cause of creation–which would demand a creator”

– you’re mistaken – Darwin never said this.  The origin of life remains something of a scientific mystery today.

“There are no billions of “transitional fossils” or they would be on display.”

@davis – I don’t get what you mean.

@earlesanborn – “Most, not all, over the past 180 plus years wanted to believe in evolution otherwise they had no logical reason to not believe in the Eternal God who created all things visible and invisible.”

– I don’t think the two have to be mutually incompatible.  I would have thought, if you don’t engage…[Read more]

Davis, Pope Beanie, et all. It’s not helpful and pretty discourteous to compare a “Creationist with a bowling ball” for discussion purpose. I’m pretty certain we each have our own histories, challenges, wishes, wants, needs, and desires, in our never ending quest for the truth. And unlike Pontius Pilate- there is knowabl…

@earlesanborn – “The direct effect of mutations is harmful. The changes effected by mutations can only be like those experienced by people in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Chernobyl: that is, death, disability, and freaks of nature…

The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very complex structure, and random effects can only damage it.”

@earlesanborn – it’s best if you can just summarise the points you want to make, succinctly, in your own words. It is much more interesting for other people to read like that as well. There is no need for mountains of detail. If there is, then you need to summarise the detail in your own words, so as to make it und…

@davis – please forgive Earle, he’s not trolling or proselytizing, he’s just making points, but on this forum, it’s not how we do things.

@earlesanborn – as I understand it, new species are formed when a geographically distinct part of a parent population undergoes environmental changes, forcing that part of the population to adapt evolutionarily or else die out.*  This evolutionary adaptation is what can give rise to a new population that is genetically distinct enough to be…[Read more]

@earlesanborn – you’re right, the bug doesn’t become a new species.  But it evolves resistance to certain antibiotics.

@earlesanborn – how do you explain hospital “superbugs” which become immune to antibiotics?

@davis thanks for bothering to take the time to post such a well structured response.  +1

@earlesanborn welcome to Atheist Zone, where theists like yourself are given space and room to make goddish claims without getting booted.  Out of curiosity, what inspired you to join an atheist site?
