lol climbtree, to really put your example into context it would be more like we opened 50 drawers and found socks, then one drawer was missing, but then it continues for 100 more of socks, what on earth would posess you to think it was a draw full of t-shirts?
this is actually to really take it out of context completely. i think you're addressing the first analogy i used which wasn't about evolution (which i said) but the logic behind a sound scientific theory. if the theory of evolution has no way of being disproven, it's as logically sound as the flying spaghetti monster. if i said a tiny hippo whose presence cannot be measured was responsible for large changes in DNA there's no way to prove me wrong and offering more and more examples of large changes in DNA doesn't prove me right. this is the same logic as evolution.
yep although I think you're still being captious about evolution in general.
i'm not splitting hairs, this is the philosophy that underlies science! this is pretty major especially when the criticism most evolutionists lay against religion is that there's no proof or logical existence of god, when the logical of evolution uses a the same arguments for proof.
That would be true if the theory of evolution held that "fossils of every epoch exist somewhere". It doesn't. It's a theory that seeks to provide a rational explanation for an observation; namely, that genetic information of an organism can change per generation. Even if we'd never find even a single fossil from here on, we'd already have seen enough evidence of that fact by now to know both micro- and macroevolution are true. The theory is so solid that it does not stand or fall based on finding a random new creature that we didn't know existed.
i don't know what part you're talking about, the first part was a mirror of MAYBE GOD PUT DINOSAURS THERE TO TEST OUR FAITH, it was a joke mostly but the asdflkjhasdflkjhasdf was firm.
no, we don't already have enough evidence to
know that is is true, this is completely unscientific and what you're talking about is faith. as far as i'm aware evolution hasn't been proven empirically (pretty sure if it was it would've been bigger news than this), everything is post hoc. a fossil is found, looks kinda like a cat with horns. probably the predecessor of the cat but the horns stopped it from going through cat doors, so it died. this is straight up stupid and you can use it for anything.
the modern day car evolved from the horse. as the horse's environment changed from dirt tracks to roads, horses with wheel mutations had an advantage in breeding. horses still on dirt tracks remained unchanged, while those on the roads became more and more car like.
Serious Question: As a Christian Climbtree what is your opinion on this stuff? Like do you think your messiah made evolution or do you think it is just a theory or what? Like what do you think about no Dinosaurs in the bible and the earth only being made 2000 years ago etc? I don't really know any Christians so your probably the only one I can ask...
my personal belief is that everything in the bible is true, we might just not know how or why yet. we're like 5 year olds reading a physics text book, some of it might make sense and other stuff might go against what we know, like, there's obviously a centrifugal force so this disproves the text book kinda thing. so i don't really have a firm take on anything other than THE LORD IS OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE and i tend to cringe when christians are passionate with judgement because of the bible. GOD IS LOVE, KILL ABORTIONISTS. in terms of condemnation etc i take the view that if you lead someone to god then they'll sort themselves out, and you're not going to do this throwing rocks at them. this is besides the point though, i speculate and i've thought about the possibility of adam and eve living for millions of years before eating of the tree of knowledge but there's a lot about the age of the universe and about the nature/existence of dinosaurs that i just don't trust but that's just me!
evolution is dumb as heck for logical reasons though and it's disgusting when put into practice. black people are closer to monkeys because they're darker, women didn't need critical reasoning to nurture children and gather berries, jews are tainting our superior aryan blood etc.
