@Blarghonius You cannot understand because you are spiritually dead and love darkness.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1Corinthians 2:14
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. John 3:19
Because we do not believe in the ability of God, it must be our own understanding and unproven so called "Facts" that explain everything - stupid evolutionism mind set.
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10,11
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles...
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
how does evolution explain that? well obviously, over time, the cuttlefish that were better at camouflage and better at tricking predators survived, and the ones that weren't so good got eaten. The surviving cuttlefish passed on their genes to their offspring, and the cycle would start over. over thousands of years, they got to where they are today.
chances are they started out with camouflage, and over time evolved the ability to change color, and eventually, got more creative at using it.
"How would evolution explain..." "Evolution can't explain..." blah, blah, blah. Here's a novel idea, how about getting an ACTUAL marine biologist and evolutionary biologist on the show, and letting them weigh in on the issue. These three idiots aren't even trying
Ah yes, the Argument from Ignorance, a classic choice in logical fallacy. Eric Hovind keeps his fallacious reasoning simple, none of that other fancy stuff.
These people are not stupid and they do not believe in creation. They are trying to make an idiot society so they will have more followers donating money to the church. Pure Evil.
Once again more evidence that creationists do not understand evolution or how it works. Someone who truly understands the mechanisms of evolution, would not be a creationist.
Oh my ! The absolute horror. It was like watching 3 people trying to prove who has a lower IQ. We are doomed if these morons ever get their way and teach this nonsense in classrooms. Yikes... my brain is still reeling from this idiocy I just witnessed.
Damn these creationists just keep getting more and more ridiculous; I thought Kent Hovind was about as crazy as anybody could get, but his kid is fast moving up on him. What these guys don't see is that evolution IS the reason for the cuttlefish's abilities to hunt and camoflage itself. Nature fine-tuned its ancestors over millions of years in order to develop those traits. PERFECT example of evolution. And did that guy say the fish blends in with the background without looking at ITSELF? LOL.
So...because the modern cuttlefish has defense mechanisms in his environment and similar fish without those mechanism do not exist because they were weeded out by natural selection...GODDIDIT!
BAAAAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAA!!! That was fucking hilarious!!!!!!!! There was no argument! It was just "Hey, look what the cuttlefish does, that's pretty fucking cool, science says it can do this, this and this, does evolution explain this? *Smirks. And shrugs shoulders*"
What is really pathetic in this is that Eric Hovind KNOWS what the evolutionary arguments are for this but rather than try and critique those arguments he follows the path of lies and deceit he has learnt off his father and stares straight at the camera claims they do not even exist.
Still waiting for any evidence of any of the gods or of creationism. If there were any evidence of creationism, someone would have found something by now.
I like to think that cuttlefish agree with evolution. They are pretty smart little critters and I really think that if you took the time to explain evolution to them they would agree.
Scottish Atheist is soooo reasonable and that is why he never resorts to insult. Just read all of his reasonable sentiments and wonder at what a reasonable guy he is. Does anybody else see the wonderful grandeur of his reason??? No emotion! No faith! No dubious assumptions only reason!!! I can see clearly that he never argues from emotion or bias.
The DNA information requires a complex decoding machine, the ribosome, but the instructions to build ribosomes are on the DNA. And decoding requires energy from ATP, built by ATP-synthase motors, built from instructions in the DNA decoded by ribosomes vicious circles for any materialistic origin theory, as leading philosopher of science Karl Popper put it.
So, god exists and created the earth because the bible says so, and the bible is true because it's god's word? Nice circular reasoning.
Maybe if you actually paid attention in science class, you'd understand how evolution works, and that it has nothing to do with matter coming out of nothing.
Common sense is what tells you that the world is flat. Common sense is what tells you that the sun goes around the earth. Common sense is often a good first guess, but also the accumulation of prejudices, and often false when it comes to things outside your scale of daily experience.
Just like every other living being: The frequency of alleles in the gene pools of populations that self-replicate with modification change with time due to mutation and selection.
It amazes me again and again that these people postulate a creator god, then deny all the evidence in the world that shows how that creation would have went. In essence, they are calling their creator a liar, and that's the bottom line.
So this is some type of new Creationist strategy? Simply look at an animal, spew out some fun facts, ask "How does evolution explain this?" and then sit there with a dumbass look on your face. Seriously it's like they actually expect someone to come on set an answer because they're not even going to bother to try.
The second half is just more of their complete and utter ignorance of evolution.
Clever response. Obviously you feel good about yourself for conjuring up such irrefutable and sustainable arguments about God and how mean he is. You have undermined all of the arguments that could actually be raised for the existence of a creator with your few little words. Now that I've lost my faith due to your really amazing wit can I worship you instead? Obviously you deserve it being so cleaver and insightful.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"Obviously you deserve it being so cleaver and insightful."
Well, I'm glad you think I'm cleaver? And you may worship me if you wish. My first commandment is that you stop worshiping me, and dedicate your life instead to healthy skepticism and evidence based beliefs. Who knows, perhaps in the future we may find evidence for this imaginary god people keep hoping exists.
Until then, may reason be with you my brother in Atheism! Hooraa!
Aww, god is good because he created lil' soft cats? Why then, do you think he created the nematode worm, which causes river blindness in millions of innocent people?
God created a PERFECT world in the begining but adam sinned bringing death and suffering into the world. now we have cancer, stds, blindness, Death, mutations, depression, ect... not because God hates us but because the world has been cursed, for our own sakes none the less. So blame Adam for nematode worms that couse blindness, not God.
Man had a choice and he chose to sin, And who is innocent? We have all sinned and came short of the glory of God, and the wage of sin is death.
lol, I love how in your twisted mind that makes sense. Of course, I have my doubts you really believe that tripe, but whatever. Give god credit for all the "nice" things, don't blame him for all the things he screwed up. Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? -Epicurus ps. necrogasm - what a name!
The unsaved doubt the power and wisdom of God. The living Creator and sustainer of all things whose eternity, omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, sovereignty and love are declared in Holy Scripture. Repent poor sinner! Tear up the textbooks...
For He is our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name!
