Matthew Le God

That is nonsense. The Chinese & Egyptians lived before, during and after the supposed global flood. They were not wiped out.

For those that believe in a global flood genocide & incest story a couple more questions... 1) where did the water come from and go afterwards? 2) how did the ark hold together as wooden ships are unable to be structurally capable of being the dimensions listed in the Bible? It would fall apart due to the stresses put on the structure

Is it not better to go with a theory based on the best available information that is demonstrable and testable... compared to an old book which has no testable or demonstrable ability?

That is a nonsensical as before you can ask that you'd need to prove there was a flood.

Are you disputing what a 'scientific theory' is and that it differs from the colloquial usage of 'theory'?

That is a nonsensical question as before you can ask that you'd need to prove there was a flood. There is no evidence that a global flood happened. The Chinese and Egyptian civilisations lived before, during and after the flood.

I've attempted to explain this before to you! Can you really not understand how there is a huge difference in the 375 million years between humans and their common fish ancestor for changes to occur and fish instantly switching between freshwater and sal****er when the flood starts/ends?

You are simply wrong in your description of evolution. There is no 'end result' of evolution. It is bizarre you think that is what it is. You are mixing up aspects of it and are confused, yet don't realise it.

1) Yes there is. Evidence of Big Bang = red shift of galaxies, measurement of cosmic radiation, amount of light elements produced by BBN plus others Evidence of creator god = an old book by unknown authors and no external testable/demonstrable evidence 2) What do you think a scientific theory is? It isn't a mere guess like the colloquial usage of 'theory'. There is a difference between the two! A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. 3) Where have you got the 400,000 years figure from?

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?
