No, you claimed that the function of an eye is too complex to start out rudimentarily. He demonstrated that isn't accurate. He demonstrated the beginning stepping stones of where it would have started before increasing complication.

I can't believe this shite is still going.

No. He didn't just appeal to authority using the word "we".

What is the definition of a scientist? One who crusades through theories with the assumption there is no creator?

I thought you were supposed to be openminded.... Do you even know what I refer to?

The fall of Jericho was prophesied wayyyy before it fell. It fell exactly as was prophesied. It is indisputable.

Now, find me another holy text of any religion that can match that.

You are citing a bible chapter that involves involves

quote:

ike a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.


As "irrefutable" prophecy?

I just showed how each step is incrementally more advantageous than the previous.

Try doing actual research instead of googling "how do I disprove evolution".

Took 10 seconds to find this:

You quoted scripture referring to end times and the rise of the anti-Christ.

I believe these things are happening.

Im not googling how to disprove evolution. You used the anatomy of the eye to answer a question that largely pertains to the origin of the eye.

So if I changed that to "scientists" or "humanity" you would have no issues? Great way to debate the issues.

You believing in something happening and it being "irrefutable" are so wildly different that I can't even begin to explain how wrong you are about this.

Instead I will just be waiting for the Eagle-Lion hybrid to evolve.

And he demonstrated that this pseudo bull shite idea does not apply as you claim. He demonstrated the possible incremental steps. frick!

He didn't describe the anatomy of the eye. He described the simple rudimentary first step that your position asserts doesn't exist. Come on. It's clear as day. You have to be purposely doing this.

Oh my again. As a scientist who weights certainties and doubts via the scientific method on a daily bases, it hurts my brain to read things like this.

I get your analogy, but the Catholic Church has actually helped to advance science in areas like physics and genetics.

I like how brosef pulled a Wikipedia quote that called the theory pseudoscientific as a way to explain what answer he wanted.

Yes, a god singly handly placed 40BCF of gas in a 26' quartz rich Miocene sand, and god sent me, only me, to retrieve it.

Hallelujah.

I know it can be difficult to discuss two things at once. Let me simplify the statement.

First, regarding Jericho, it was prophesied and happened. It is irrefutable. You can choose to ignore it but you cannot argue it happening.

Second, I pointed out other prophesies referring to end times. You have quoted the end times prophesy as if that was the Jericho one.

Get it together.

Look, the bible has undisputible verified prophesy. I don't really care what your science teacher taught you. Study the fall of Jericho. Checkmate.

That's your assumption, and the lie that you tell yourself that makes you unreasonable and immune to discussion.
