@Kabane52 So God is a liar and He didn't create man,also Adam's sin didn't bring death into the world.Jesus ,Paul and the rest must have also been wrong about Adam bringing death into the world .Looks like you can stop pretending to be a Christian now.

all sects of christianity are fully against evolution. time to drop what was forced upon you and move on into clarity. Everyone educated knows evolution isn't a theory. Its a fact that is illustrated in countless ways. All science medicine and biology rest upon it as a foundation.

Kabane, I commend you for standing up in protest of the myriad of outright lies the YECs post here on YT. It's one thing to be mistaken, but another to intentionally mislead and lie in denial of certain scientific facts.

I'm sure your position on this will bring you a lot of heat from fellow Xians and I respect you for holding the truth as more important.

Being a hard core atheist, I can say it isn't often that I find reasons to make such compliments to a Xian, but you more than deserve it.

WOW! ignorance is astounding. Not only don't you know what you are talking about but you laugh at the truth while you believe a fairy tale.

[TheLostGuitarist]

theres a reason you aren't going to see many creationist physicians out there lol

wow it never ceases to amaze me how stupid some parts of the country actually are....

its like you think you can speculate whatever you want, without any scientific studies to back it up and just refute every scientific claim based on your opinion lol aaah thanks for the laughs you made my day

[TheLostGuitarist]

ahahahahah wow and which PhD did you earn that provided you with the expertise to draw THIS conclusion? ahahahahah wow this is hilarious!

a defect in bacteria gives them drug resistance AHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAha

and what is your definition of a new type of organism? if I alter a hox gene I will get fins instead of hands....would you say that is a new organism? one that has fins?

what a dope! Hey as long as you're not trying to get into medical school or something, you can keep being delusioned

@TheLostGuitarist

Developing drug resistance is a far cry from observing evolution. The drug resistance comes from a defect in the bacteria which makes it less fit in absence of the drug. No one argues that organisms can undergo changes in response to environmental changes. However, changing into some other type of organism, never ever happens.

[TheLostGuitarist]

when you get your B.S. in biological sciences, or your PhD or M.D., then maybe you'd be qualified to judge evidence.

Not once have I even seen a creationist refer to a specific study that they feel is inaccurate. None of you have even read a scientific journal article...you just speak abstractly and say it doesn't make sense to you so it can't be true.

Just because you haven't been educated in a field and therefore don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't true

[TheLostGuitarist]

we've seen things methylated DNA sequences in humans that remains inactive and is composed of long sequences of primitive genes from primates...(if you don't know what the difference between methylated DNA and unmethylated DNA is you won't understand why this is significant).

I can say I've literally seen evolution as we've literally watched bacteria evolve drug resistance (bacteria evolve VERY quickly).

And somehow YOU are more qualified to say nope we're wrong? are you insane?

[TheLostGuitarist]

put another way, much of the modern evidence for evolution, the TRULY convincing evidence involves cellular/molecular biology and genetics. The reason is evolutionary theory predicted many mechanisms that we didn't have the technology to see. Now we do.

So if I say evolution makes complete sense because we've observed processes evolve such as Nucleotide and Base excision repair, we've seen bacteria evolve through engulfing plasmids and inserting DNA into their genome...
