https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

When you are able to not use strawman fallacies maybe we can talk ok?

Correction: Very profoundly said br. aerial! but I think it would be a tad too confusing for sister system to comprehend.

Yet another challenge to creationists here. Name one time where a previous unknown phenomena  on earth was discovered and the cause of it had a supernatural explanation.

Examples: Earthquakes, Rain, thunder, lighting, fire, rainbows ect...all at one point were thought to be the direct work of deities and or the supernatural. Once we found out what the real cause was it turned out to be a 100% natural and scientific explanation.

Can any of you name something that only has a demonstrable supernatural cause for something we can't currently explain?

If you can't then why would you continue the path to being wrong with what we still don't know? There is no reason at all to think that what we currently don't know has anything to do with dieties.

It is also entirely possible that as man's brain evolved and his ability to reason improved, he decided to wear clothes. Wearing clothes certainly could have caused a decline in the amount of hair on the human body, which was gradual and lengthy until we got where we are today. As mrgetrich basically said, people still have the genes for it. This is evident based on the fact that some people are extremely hairy while others are not. Humans still have lots of hair on their bodies, just not nearly as much as apes.

Regardless, even if we grant your position that it seems to not make sense, that is no reason to do away with evolution. We know with certainty that creatures have evolved and continue to evolve. We can logically conclude that human beings aren't distinct from every other creature on the planet.

As for how apes got here, they walked, not hard lol.

This statement indicates your level of ignorance is so high and intelligence so low that I will not waste my intelligence to even think of a joke to make.

Now to correct this pile of uneducated nonsense. Even if you don't accept modern science, which it's obvious you don't. At least know what you are disagreeing with.

The big bang was about 13.7 billion years ago

Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago

Life on earth about 3 billion years ago

Modern humans about 200,000 years ago.

Life on earth have billions of years to get our "genitals in tact"

Maybe you could explain to me why God would make a man first, with genitals when he had not yet created woman? Did he forget? And if he didn't why not make her at the same time?

Or...maybe Adam didn't have testicles at first them magically grew them when God made eve?



So fucking stupid

By fairy tales you mean science? Have you ever been wrong about something in the past, then been corrected and changed your position based on new information? If you have, then how can you criticize science?

 Maybe we should still believe that the earth is flat or that clouds are solid objects or that chariots pull the sun across the sky. I'm mean all humans did was change the evidence where it was convenient.

I'm an atheist, which means i don't believe in Gods, which would include Satan. I'm  not mad, I just don't believe in your story. It's not that difficult a concept.

Actually, scientists have proof. The big bang happened. Even Rostos doesn't dispute that. At least Rostos bases his arguments on the theory that god caused the big bang. To refute the big bang altogether is like saying the world doesn't exist when you're asleep or trees don't exist when you're inside and can't see them. Basically, you're a moron. The big bang happened because we CAN SEE IT WITH TELESCOPES. It's still HAPPENING. CURRENT. RIGHT NOW. We may actually be able to see the earliest stars from the big bang billions of years ago with advanced telescopes. We can see stars going supernova. We can see all of these things.

Do you wanna know what we can't see? I'll give you one guess

What's wrong with you? Who are you to question god's plan? Obviously he wanted to fool us for a few thousand years, duh. It's all part of his divine plan!

In all seriousness, I wonder if the bible said anything about whether the earth was round or flat. SJD, can you help here?

The earth is an oblique spherod....and that's defiantly not in the bible. At best the earth is described as being a circle, a 2 dimensional flat object.

But regardless, you still can't name on anatomical feature of an ape that we have that they don't. Since you can't that makes us apes, just like we are mammals and vertebrates.  Would you deny that we are mammals or vertebrates?







Get the hairiest human that you know and put out in any jungle in the world with no clothing over 50 years including there brutal winters, is he gonna survive?

the thread really should have ended and been archived with this post. it's a short sentence but there is so much happening in it.   it doesn't get any better.  

Very very typical covers response, i have a whole paragraph, and you picked a small line way out of context and clapped at it...

You know what that means...

Our Lady Fatima is the answer to the question to provide an example of a supernatural cause for something we cant explain?
