Plus still waiting on the evolution eye nonsense. Post #1702

It was you that used the word kill!

The 55k figure comes from the Office of National statistics. It compares deaths so far this year to previous years. So the figure is likely to be a lot higher than the 36k the government uses. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/19/almost-55000-excess-uk-deaths-during-covid-19-outbreak-says-ons

1) The contradiction is one of the commandments says don't kill and another one says kill disobedient children. That is a contradiction. They are in conflict with each other! They cannot both be followed as one breaks the other. That is what a contradiction is! 2) You've also ignored post #1702 on the nonsense you said about the evolution of the eye.

1) Can you not see how that contradicts the commandment to kill disobedient children? 2) So if a terrorist attacked you with a knife it would be wrong for a policeman to shoot and kill him? 3) I haven't changed the goalposts. You ignored my picking apart your nonsense about the evolution of the eye.

:mcinnes: and one for luck 1) The eye is not an organism 2) We know how the eye evolved from a few light sensitive cells to a pinhole camera style, to a human eye. All it requires is small changes over time. We have time, lots of time. The earth is more than 4.5 billion years old.

Have you ever been disobedient to your parents? The kind and loving god of the Bible says you should be stoned to death if you have.

Ball

Is Raging Bull going to agree the eye does not 'continue to plague the theory of evolution'? The diagram in #1685 shows its evolution from a collection of light sensitive cells, to a pin hole camera style to an eye ball. It happens in small steps over millions of years.

You shall not make yourself an idol Exodus 20:4-6

1) Some, but not all. So the huge amount of aquatic life that cannot live in both would become extinct... but it didn't. 2) The Bible states that the flood covered mountains. A local flood cannot cover mountains. 3) Where did this fresh water come from... and where did it go? Many animals cannot live in freshwater and would die... but they didn't. 4) In general they do and that is one of many factors. Animals cannot in the space of a few days change from sal****er to freshwater and back to freshwater. Evolutionary changes take large amounts of time, not days.

Why not?

No I'm not, I am happy to chance my mind on any subject if someone can provide good evidence as to why I should.

Evolution by natural selection is a proven fact. How do you think we went from wolves to every breed of dog? This is nonsense. We recognise design by comparing it to examples of things we know are designed. This is nonsense. We know how the eye evolved from animals having light sensitive cells to that of the human eye. To get from one to the other, you need time, lots of time and time is what we've got with a planet that is 4 billion years old.

Covid-19 is more contagious and has a higher fatality rate.

Maybe that is true... but it is irreverent to this

Where in the Bible does it say... 'do not take literally'? Millions of people take the Noah story as literal truth.

Can you give an example of one of these 'viable counter arguments'?

When have I moved the goalposts? Maybe we add that phrase to the long list of those you don't understand.

I was using it for a definition, nothing more. Do you disagree with the definition? There is no irony in that. We can add irony to the list of things you don't understand! Like Alanis Morrisette's song doesn't use irony correctly either.

No-one has put up a viable counter argument.

Yet again... ignoring the question.

I'm not sure where you are going with this. Are you suggesting it wasn't a global flood?

Are you disputing what a 'scientific theory' is and that it differs from the colloquial usage of 'theory'? It is irrelevant that I took it from somewhere else. That does not make it any less true as a defintition.
