"natural selection may be one of the mechanisms of evolutionism but is powerless to turn microbes to man over however long"

The whole of evolutionary theory summed up in one sentence. You can't boil the whole of evolution into a single sentence as Steve said. Get specific if you want to challenge the theory. Give me details!

"do you know of any definite examples?"

What? Of a microbe evolving into a man? You know what, you've stumped me there.


The thing is Pete, it's getting increasingly difficult to discuss this with you for several reasons:

1) You do not listen.

2) You make no attempt to understand.

3) You appear to read what other people say who share your point of view and accept it unquestioningly.

4) You're not really interested in discourse between religion and science as it threatens your world view.

5) You have made no attempt to accept science as a process of seeking fundamental truth.

6) Disturbingly, you believe the Bible literally which means:

(a) You believe the heavens were created in one day.

(b) The earth and everything on it was made in days after.

(c) Man has dominion over every living thing (an evil notion to be sure).

(d) You should stone people to death for cussing their parents

(e) A bloke was swallowed by a whale, he survived then was puked up.

(f) Everyone who has ever believed in any other god apart from your god who has ever lived is wrong.

(g) A man could walk on water (apart from Paul Lambert).

(h) The death penalty for these things (amongst others):

(aa) Being the victim of rape.

(bb) homosexuality (a normal variant of human sexuality).

(cc) Blasphemy

(dd) Being a stubborn and rebellious son

(ee) breaking the sabbath (Whichever sabbath you believe in)

(ff) worshiping idols (go figure)

etc etc

. . . and so on. All that is before we even get to murdered kids to appease this kind and gentle god, all the people he personally visited suffering on and killed in the flood and other god-made punishments. All things that if you believe the bible is literally the word of god like wot he says it then you must condone, as he is infallible. Are you really comfortable with that?

So you'll forgive me if I wonder if there is a slight problem with rationality here amongst the creationist/literalist. It might explain the lack of wanting to engage in reasonable discussion.

I'm mean, you couldn't make it up could you?
