@brockunc I like how the other guy thought a quote from the bible disproved your whole argument lmao. Creationists never learn .-.

[awhitness]

@brockunc Your waiting for evidence for creationism? LOL. OK, can you name 1 thing that you know for a fact was not created. Example: Have you ever found a (knife, can, dog, car, bobby pin, house, car, etc.) that wasn't created, that just formed by itself? that wasn't made by someone or something else with design and purpose? The Bible says were made in Gods image, hows that? Were creators and eternity has been placed in our heart. 2 Thess 2:10-12

Very Cool!

When you are sitting on the table. with the skulls lined up to your right... the "brown" skull (the second one in the line)... which "family" does that skull belong to?

Thanks :)

@5tonyvvvv Btw i'm still waiting for the scientific evidence for creationism. Not to mention any of the other fanciful claims of the bible. If you have a testable verifiable theory supported by evidence publish it in a scientific journal. Have every scientist in the field critic it and try and poke holes in it, and test it, and verify your claims. Thats what evolution and all scientific theories are subject to. Then it can be considered science and not nonsense.

@brockunc INFORMATION is the nightmare for you People!! Show me Testable, repeatable chemistry, Not Assumptions! That solves Homochirality!! You need to read Signature in the cell, by Stephen c meyer!!

@5tonyvvvv Anyway Its clear your lack of understanding of the world, science, and evolution is so great that its useless arguing with you. If you were truly interested in the nature of reality you would at least take the time to education yourself on these things. But as you are obviously only interested in parroting creationist handbooks and making straw men arguments and arguments from ignorance this conversation is useless.
