read my post, the reason Creation is not in the bio text books is due to politics not science. cause Creation had a tack to religion and therefore, is block...

laurence82 SG

Now now, St Pats used to have this principal, should be retired by now

Something wrong with his back, and he prolly used to teach Maths

I think they called him Mickey Mouse as well

You know him?

neutral_onliner SG

how can tat be. I tot tis is up to the choice of students. I think u should feedback to ur parent. I think tat people cannot be forced to accept faith. They cannot be persuaded to accept what they do not understand, or what they do not like. That is politics, not religion.

neutral_onliner SG

i oso agree. Tis kind of debate is not fruitful. As Buddha had explained tat speculations about a Creator God or the origin of the universe, nor on a heaven world ever after never bring us happiness and solve main cause of human problems and sufferings. Rather we should focus on getting complete solution to the problems of life and attain everlasting happiness.

vince69 SG

yes, yes, effort is better spend on helping others... Smile

neutral_onliner SG

yes i think both parties should take half time and rest.

Last post from me SIS, coz the academic world has been debating this for 80 yrs, i dun see how u or me can change this.

All the while I am trying to tell u the debate has long been over Rolling Eyes And u still can't show me a reputabl;e scientific website tat show the debate is ongoing. If u doubt the authencity of wikipedia, u can go down to the reference and see if it uses crap info

My slant in this questioning is about the collaboration of the human condition and how each of us grow from a baby to a full grown adult and so forth. Without another, trying to explain is like a real fool.

Frankly I do not understand wat r u saying here Rolling Eyes

stupidissmart SG

i have to bump tis up

davidche SG

thread goes wild!!

And i thought the guy(darwin?) hu invented this theory evolution regretted it b4 he died and after he believed in Christ???
Mr. Green Rolling Eyes

laurence82 SG

Proof?

sgquitter SG

why would Darwin "regret" it juz before he died? Why not when he was healthier? All these attempts by Christian LIARS to try to keep people to their faith. I wonder if the LIARS will go to Heaven? Will u wanna spend eternity wif LIARs? Rolling Eyes

Take note of POINT 2...

Response:

1. The story of Darwin's recanting is not true. Shortly after Darwin's death, Lady Hope told a gathering that she had visited Darwin on his deathbed and that he had expressed regret over evolution and had accepted Christ. However, Darwin's daughter Henrietta, who was with him during his last days, said Lady Hope never visited during any of Darwin's illnesses, that Darwin probably never saw her at any time, and that he never recanted any of his scientific views (Clark 1984, 199; Yates 1994).

2. The story would be irrelevant even if true. The theory of evolution rests upon reams of evidence from many different sources, not upon the authority of any person or persons.

breytonhartge SG

and as yet the evidence for evolution is not concrete... too many gaps and too many unexplained pheonmena.

davidche SG

ya loh. no one has found the missing link yet.

laurence82 SG

That is funny

No one has proven god yet

Laughing

davidche SG

haha, so funny!! Very Happy

laurence82 SG

Its ok you cant prove Darwin become a Christian at his death bed

I have seen Christians misquote Einstein and Darwin to heck

Its ok, you all doing for God right?

Wahahaha

sgquitter SG

what sort of gaps are u talking about? unexplained pheonmena? please be more specific?

Lets say we've found

A --evolves into--> B -> C -> ... -> Z -> modern Humans.

Will u start questioning "Hey, what about between A and B? between C and D??" this is neverending

Evolution results in species such that even the in-between stages are very indistinguishable. If u're really interested to find out, you'll read that some austrialian aboriginals are suggestive of being *very different* from modern humans.

Creationism and ID suggests distinguishable species but are unable to give charts that distinguish the animals. Creationist scientists oni tok cok sing song, when come down to real work you won't see them.

davidche SG

how bout the voicebox? explainations on that too??

Im actually quite interested in this topic you know. Do we get to study this in jc?? Very Happy

ben1xy SG

actually sgforums is a really good place to study the ID vs Evolution debate. I do not agree with SIS on some stuff, but his expertise in this area is actually very impressive. beats having to google and read up on every single argument

laurence82 SG

One SIS does not equal whole of EH

I rather bring the debate to a more sane place

Laughing

davidche SG

yup! freeloader reporting for duty!!
