Matthew Le God

It is you that has not grasped it, not me. Adaptation come through evolution by natural selection. You stated that evolution is 'an end result' which is quite simply nonsense. Evolution is not an end result... there is no 'end result' to evolution, it is a continual process. I'm merely doing what you've done for years. Until now I haven't bothered, but your constant claims of nonsense deserve it. You really haven't a clue regarding biology and have got it completely wrong.

Oh dear Yet again you have proven you you haven't a clue what evolution is. Every creature is a transitional evolutionary form, there is no 'end result' of evolution. Did you fall asleep during biology lessons?

- There is demonstrable/testable evidence to support the 'big bang' - There is not demonstrable/testable evidence to support a god creating a universe

Are car accidents, dog attacks, lighting strikes, firework injuries contagious?

I assert it is not true based on evidence. So why is that an issue? Surely that is better than Chrisitans asserted it is true based on it saying so in an old book... isn't it?

Does the Bible not say that then?

So you agree then...!

I've never lost to you. I'm now intrigued as to what you'd come up with for your explanation for the difference between evolution and adaptation.

You are further highlighting you haven't grasped even the basics of evolutionary biology. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of key words and processes.

Does the Bible come with a sticker that says 'do not take literally'? Millions of Christians do take the Noah ark story literally, just look at the Bible belt in the US where there have a theme park giving a literal flood story. What is the metaphor? Don't **** god off or he'll commit another genocide?

You Do Not Know What Evolution Is Every creature on the planet is a transitional evolutionary form.

A} There are skeletal differences between salt water and freshwater fish. Salt-water fish have larger bones to deal with the environment.

It is you that is struggling as you think a fish population can't evolve into another type of fish. Every creature on the planet is a transitional evolutionary form.

Did you take naps during biology lessons at school?

Yes it is ffs Further evidence that you do not know what evolution is! You say it is 'not hard Matthew' but you appear to not be able to understand the basics of biology.

I did not agree with you. The Bible talks of a global flood that covered mountains, Noah did not know about the animals living in the Americas, Australia and other parts of the world so could not have saved them.

What are your talking about? That does not address the post of mine you quoted.

The point is clear... Noah did not know America, South America, large parts of Africa, large parts of Asia and Australasia existed... let alone what unique animals were there. How did the unique wildlife of Australia survive the flood if Noah didn't sail thousands of miles to pick them up from a continent he didn't know existed and then drop them off again? There is no evidence of kangaroos migrating in either direction.

No, not in 4,000 years! Humans common ancestor with fish is 375 million years ago, huge amounts of change can happen in 375 million years of natural selection but not in 4,000 years. Can you not see the vast difference in evolutionary scale between 4 thousand years and 375 million years?

By the way... the ark at that theme park is of the dimensions as described in the Bible. However a wooden ship of that size is impossible and would fall apart so they needed to strengthen the theme park ark with steel. Something Noah didn't have!

Does the Bible come with a sticker saying 'do not take literally'? No... it doesn't... which is why millions of people do take it literally. Just look at the Bible belt in America where they spent £100m on this... Which is why my point regarding kangaroos is relevant despite you dismissing it! Noah did not know America, South America, large parts of Africa, large parts of Asia and Australasia existed... let alone what unique animals were there. How did the unique wildlife of Australia survive the flood if Noah didn't sail thousands of miles to pick them up from a continent he didn't know existed and then drop them off again? There is no evidence of kangaroos migrating in either direction.

I'm pretty sure I've answered every question of yours. If I haven't which one did I miss? Are you aware that the time period from humans their common ancestor with fish is 375,000,000 years ago and that Noah's flood is 4,000 years ago? 4,000 years is tiny in evolution and not enough for the fundamental changes in anatomy you are suggesting!

Raging Bull appears to believe it literally happened, as do huge numbers in the Bible belt in the USA. I do wonder how they fed the lions... did they turn vegetarian? Repopulating through incest is a genetic nightmare waiting to happen!
