Religion vs. Science

[Doniston]

Please note that not all Christians believe in a six-day creation. Some of us believe in a billions-of-years-old universe, based on scientific evidence, created by God, as the Bible states.

Ok, got to add my two cents

I had a friend (now deceased) who was a minister in a sect called Brethren in Christ. He beleived that all the six days were twenty-four hours long except one which was Millions of years long, and which accounted for the dinos.

Man, I can't wait for the day that people aren't this stupid anymore

If anyone watches this series of videos and believes that this is somehow proof for evolution being false, they need to be evaluated.

Every one of these videos is a contest to see how many illogical statements can be put into a short video.



In case you're wondering, yes, I do think you're stupid if you agree with these people.

Dear God! The sheer number of lies, falsehoods, mistruths, and deceptions in that video is staggering.

The worst I've ever seen is this one, but still...wow...

If evolution were indeed true, then I have to ask, why are there no differences between the remains of ancient Egyptian mummies (some of which are over 3,000 years old) and those of modern humans?

If I were to accept Darwin's theory of natural selection, then I would expect to see a difference, albeit a slight one.

Again, modern humans arose 50,000 years ago in the plains of Africa, why are we still the same as those humans? The only differences seem to be in race, which is an adaptation to the sun, not necessarily evolution.

Furthermore, I would expect that humans should be very different from one continent to another and perhaps have become separate species by now. After all, the environment of the Sahara is very different than that of the tropical jungle. Why for instance haven't Eskimos become furry to adapt to the cold?

The reason is that since the rise of homo-sapiens-sapiens, there there has been very little population isolation among us that occured long enough that sufficient differences accumulated, where environmental pressures might select for what difference might arise, to cause speciation.
