Are you for real? I mean didn't I just ask you NOT to call me things like that? I see you have absolutely no respect for other people. You are obviously not a man, merely a boy.

If you say so, cutie.

For those who have joined us late, this is the basics of what has taken place so far:
From: Kevn Klein
The myth of evolution is clearly a religious belief for those who reject the notion of a creator.

From: Kevn Klein
Please don't lie about my beliefs. kthxbye...

From: Kevn Klein
evolutionists admit humans didn't come from apes.

From: Kevn Klein
Please don't lie about my beliefs. kthxbye...

From: Kevn Klein
Wrong again, they say they know how the earth was formed and how life came to be. They even have time lines.

From: Kevn Klein
Please don't lie about my beliefs. kthxbye...

From: Kevn Klein
Evolutionists believe they know the time line of the earth and life. They state in a rather matter of fact manner that the big bang created all matter known to man. They say when it happened. Then they go on to say when life appeared, and how it came to be.

250 million was the population of the USA the last time I concerned myself enough to check. The fact it's even larger makes my point that much stronger.


Ah, for Kevn, facts are pesky things that he has to be bothered to check.

From: Kevn Klein
I was being conservative with my numbers so you couldn't say I inflated the number.


Kevn is finally right! Being conservative is the equivalent of being wrong!

I have never stated God didn't or couldn't have used evolution as a means to create the varied life forms.

I have said in numerous threads that it's a distinct possibility.

I also said it's not very likely, and there is no evidence to say God did use evolution.

Hopeful, you understand we are not talking about adaptation and breeding. Those are not examples of evolution, but rather examples of a perfect creation, made to heal itself, adapt to changing conditions and breed as intended by the creator.

We are talking about life coming from nothing, without design.


1 Actually you've said that you believe in the literal interpretation of Genesis.
2 No evidence of God creating the world either. No evidence of God at all.
3 Are birth defects examples of perfect creation? How about cancer?
4 Breed as intended by the creator? This is an easy experiment.
a) pick an unusual species
b) pick a Christian with a deep faith in God
c) have the Christian pray that the intended sex life of the unusual species be revealed to him
d) compare revelation to reality
e) Repeat steps a through d
f) laugh your ass off at the results

No one denied adaptation, just as no one denied natural healing of wounds. It's a natural function of the living.

You are confusing evolution with adaptation, as many young people do. Adaptation is An alteration or adjustment in structure or habits, often hereditary, by which a species or individual improves its condition in relationship to its environment.

No need for mutations.

This is why many are confused. Macro-evolution says all life came from one single life form and now we have all these life forms, that mutations cause more information to be added to DNA. This isn't fact at all, it's just a notion some people had.

Micro-evolution (breeding and adaptation) isn't in dispute at all.


Adaptation is hereditary? How? If my dog adapts to eating once a day how does he pass that on to his descendants? If the giraffe-like animal stretches it's neck to eat the leaves how does it pass that on to it's descendants?

Wait, we can dismiss people for inacurracies on their posts now? Is that a rule, Kevn? If somebody posts something factually untrue they have to leave the thread?

If someone lies about what I have said, I tend to dismiss them.

He's said that he's not a bible literalist in other threads. Of course I find it confusing that anyone who defends creationism with such annoying tenacity doesn't believe the creation stories. I think he falls squarely in the "I have a hard time understanding complex scientific theories, so it must be magic!" camp.

At what point in the thread will the evidence supporting the original claim "The myth of evolution is clearly a religious belief for those who reject the notion of a creator" be presented?
