Tzor,
What did you mean to break to me? I might have come across wrong.
Player,
What is meant here...
First, your most IS by "scrambling" the same basic protein combinations. This is, in fact a big piece of evidence that suggests a single creation. However, there have been new inserts, new creations.
Who's forced a wedge into a church regardless of who has thought earth was not round? By the way, Isaiah 40:22 makes it pretty clear that earth is round perhaps... maybe people should and should have paid more attention to it.
http://yahushua.net/scriptures/isa40.htm What about earth looks old to you? Is there a way He could have instantly created earth out of nothing without you thinking as though it looked old? You said stuff in response to those without actually answering them maybe.
I've presented nothing that points toward a young Earth to you specifically maybe, but you might have already suggested that you thought believing something made it true... you can simply tell yourself something is not evidence and fool yourself into thinking it's not as a result of doing that maybe.
I've brought up numerous examples of evidence for the earth being young depending on definition of young and we should be careful to try to avoid lying perhaps.
See Evidence from Space, Evidence from Earth and Evidence from Biology sections here with points laid out under them? How about respond to them if so?
http://www.connectionmagazine.org/2002_ ... idence.htm And how about address this if you claim the earth moon system is billions of years old?
http://www.answersingenesis.org/creatio ... 4/moon.asp What have you done to address either? If you feel you already refuted either in a post can you refer to a post as opposed to simply claiming you addressed something and claiming I ignored something? You did refer to an answersincreation and ncse site in response to the first that do little to nothing in regards to addressing those maybe.
What about knowledge of how water works suggests Grand Canyon was not the result of a world-wide flood? And when did I call something a whirlpool? You tried to suggest a cylindrical depression 6,654 or so feet above sea level in an arid location was the result of a puddle melting rock and provided little to nothing to back it up maybe. How could a puddle of water carve a cylindrical depression in rock if it could do that somehow?
How about help me follow money and figure out what young earth creationism has to do with money or power? Got a link?
What is meant here...
Evolution is not the sole issue, but it is a big one. Why? Why did this one issue suddenly become one of "the" issues when there are so many issues about which the Bible is absolutely clear?
Note: I left stuff from you outside quote things in error and said stuff wrong earlier maybe.
What do you refer to if you claimed the Bible itself actually provides a good deal of proof for an older Earth? Got some examples you can share?
Maybe I'm misquoting in here for all I know.
Haggis,
I might not be sure what anyone has proof of, but I'm adamantly asserting nothing and I'm not even claiming there's never been a beneficial mutation maybe.
Beneficial can be defined more than one way and we can argue that there have at least been mutations that have led to people being taller and better able to dunk on ten foot basketball rims perhaps, but when has a mutation created something new that was not simply the result of a scrambling of pre-existing information?
1) Does a single clone of E. coli not actually contain multiple organisms? Either way, if a single living organism was moved to 32 C and a single living organism was moved to 42 C, natural selection would help weed out genes less suitable for those temperatures after 2000 generations even without any mutation at all maybe.
2) Living organisms with genetics better suited to grow in darkness than others would be more likely to survive and reproduce in darkness than the others even without a single mutation required perhaps. There were genes detrimental to growing in darkness that were weeded out as a result of natural selection maybe.
3) Maybe I'm missing something here. Someone measured an original sample of unicellular green algae and filtered off smaller cells over a course of 40 generations and discovered that they came up with an average size that was greater than an average size of the original sample after the 40 generations? Would you not expect a larger size on average after 40 generations with or without any mutation?
Unicellular to Multicellular section?) If we define cell division as a mutation then there have been beneficial mutations perhaps, but what does cell division have to do with increased genetic complexity? There might not be anyone arguing that we can't breed things to be larger and have extra parts and missing parts, but we're not going to take frogs and end up with feathered descendants of them even with a trillion years unless we transfer in genetic information from an outside source maybe. Maybe I said one or more thing wrong earlier and we should not be surprised if there are already descendants of mice with wings. There might be some pretty crazy lab stuff going on.
Propanediol metabolization section?) What if there's actually a natural E. coli gene for converting propanediol to lactaldehyde that appears in a minority and it's not the result of a mutation? Does the section not suggest that it's quite common for some individuals in E. coli lines to utilize propanediol as a food source?
