Even when you are right, you make your argument look bad by being disrespectful. I know this thread is filled with insults from both sides, but really, you allow yourself to be dragged down into a schoolyard name calling contest far too easily.
OK I wasn't going to post, but that statement is ENTIRELY false. There are three accepted beliefs when it comes to how long it took God to create the earth, two of which I am going to mention. There is the belief that it literally took God 7 days to create the earth and there is the belief that God took his time during creation. Realize that it never states a time frame.
Really? Maybe you should go back and re-read. He made the 'greater light to govern the day' and the 'lesser light to govern the night' after vegetation. Not 'light'.
The Bible says that 1000 years are like a day and a day like a 1000 years to God. No definition that it is 1000 years.
This is why I have a different opinion of "god " than most.
Nice
You cannot stay on topic. This is not a comparison of science vs religion. Quote where I said anything about religion, or 6000 years etc. You can't do it because I didn't other than to say that you elitists are hypocrites for putting one down as being crazy because it cannot be proved, yet wholeheartedly believing in the other which also cannot be proved. You have framed an entire argument based on an assumption for the second time in a row with me. The fact remains that the theory of evolution relies on the theory that everything evolved from 1 organism as stated by darwin. This process took millions and millions of years according to darwin. There is no way to prove or substantiate that. The 6000 years in the Bible isn't relevant. i didn't argue that... so framing an argument around that to "show" me shows just how strong your irrelevant and incompetent argument is. There is circumstantial evidence when looking at DNA that everything is related. Of course people infer what they want from that. I say if you're using the same building blocks but just swapping them around to make completely different things, so obviously everything will share similar traits. It does not mean they all evolved from the same organism. That's quite a leap.... but those of you who think you're smarter than you actually are believe that making that assumption makes you infinitely more intelligent than people who would like more evidence. That is no more crazy than assuming that since everything on earth is made from the same elements that it all came from the same thing. It's the exact same logic, yet you "intelligent" scoff at it. I'm not defending it. I'm just using irrefutable logic to prove how your elitist "we know it even though it isn't prove but that isn't the same as faith" attitudes are absurd. Science is about proving things, testing and getting results that support the theory. That can't be done with evolution. It's just a bunch of people going "hey look at that... that coincidence must prove it right?" and there isn't a lick of difference between that rationale and religion. It's just faith. You say it's crazy to believe in a God when people cannot prove it. You're a hypocrite because you believe in something that is just based on circumstantial assumptions also.
You're arguing a lost cause here.
Common cold, HIV, delta 32 allele, and most incurable bacterial/viral infection. I know not 5 but those are BEYOND perfect examples of positive mutations. As for billions of people getting cancer, cancer is inevitable considering the shortening of telomeres after each cell replication. EVERYONE will get cancer sooner or later, so most of your arguments of cancer are irrelevant. And getting cancer can also be an evolutionary advantage, not for the individual, but of the species
