Essentially, yes. I and others have asked repeatedly for the most basic of premises from which to work from - that you define what would be evidence both for and against instantaneous creation as a superior theory than common descent. To date none of you have been willing to provide this, instead you demand answers and then dismiss them as "a neat design" or "God just did it because He liked it" non-answers. If you can't understand what would be

This is NOT true; I have asked you point blank several times, in THIS thread, to provide your proof and told you what needed that proof. So far.....no answer from you.

Ok - science doesn't have proofs - that is mathematics and logic- science uses evidence - the evidences of evolution are found in the fossil record

Starting with the hypothesis if evolution is true and common descent happened the fossil record would record a timeline that is consistent and it does - not only do we not find horses in the Precambrian period the excavation of dinosaur coprolite provides not a seed or a bone of a mammal

Secondly is the closeness of DNA and genetic material of closely related species and how DNA within species are very similar genus a little less and family and order even further away

evolution is continuing to happen today as we see in dog breeds and even in human anatomy (the pinky toe us getting smaller) and is even used in the lab when creating new medicines to fight the ever mutating viruses and bacteria.

No evidence exists for a six day creation that isn't easily refuted by specialists in the field. 99 percent of biologist and geologists reject this idea for good reason - and many of the ones who don't find the religious fanatics pocket books easy pickings for selling books DVDs and making speeches all around the bible circuit.

So, our pinky toe is getting smaller? That may very well be; it's pretty useless. But that's not evidence of speciation; it's evidence of adaptation. The evidence in the fossil record, while interesting, is pretty spotty. It takes a lot of supposition to take a tooth and a jawbone and call it anything. :thumbsup:

Three little words - evidence, evidence, evidence. Where is your scientific evidence that chimps and men evolved from a common ancestor? Please present it here on this thread for our review. Can you do that? You're a 'scientist' - right?

I'm a physicist.

You ask for evidence, I give you evidence.

I ask YOU for evidence you give me nothing ... instead, you ask for an explanation.

So, I give you an explanation, and now you're asking for evidence again.

This is getting a little tedious and is very one-sided.

Is this the extent of your argument. You accused me of sniping and I should have recognized that for what it was: a description of what you were going to do.

I ask again: WHAT EVIDENCE WILL YOU ACCEPT?

Until you answer that, you'll just ignore the evidence, and do your little evidence-explanation-evidence-explanation shuffle.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

      Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
