It would be if the religions weren't so damn rigid about everything.

I... don't think you quite understand what I said.

i agree with Jon'C. his post, and explanation, is where religious toleration should stem from.one group of people can use science to make a deuction, and come to a perfectly acceptable conclusion. and another group can assume something else, example creation/intelligent design, and people should just be able to live with that, because it doesn't affect them.

which brings up another topic. which should be taught to kids in school? wait. i'll make a thread.

I got what you said just fine. I merely mean that if relgion were to progress along with the rest of the world rather than remain caught up on things that were concieved thousands of years ago, there would be far less conflict between the two.

Bumpernickle.

Oh hey, SF_GoldG_01 still hasn't responded yet. I'm shocked!

Then what would be the point of religion?

Now that those in power are relying less upon religion as a platform for power, arbtirary conservatism is all religion has left.

Which doesn't help their position very much.

Come one goldie, answer my questions... or i'll be forced to PM you...

I think the Toxx Clause should be applied to SF_GoldG_01.

No research on the definition of "later today" done.

still waiting...

...

What does he have to come through with?

...

Did anyone notice squirrels was misspelled in the thread title? Just noticed it now.

OMG!

I think he fled to some foreign third-world country by now because he fears us so much. :/

Somewhere like Mexico?

Somewhere 'round in that area over thar, yeah.

this thread ends here, unless you support me.


so human's were alive when dinosaurs were alive. that doesn't prove anything, except the passing of time. if you like to argue the speed of evolution, feel free to IM me. scaramanga57.

evolution does not occur at a rate that any scientist could observe, not in his lifetime at least. it's not like one single primate evolved within his own lifespan into a human.

really? why? because the physiology of a giraffe is sooo practical. the planet needs carnivores, too.

what are you supporting here. as far as the basics of life, we haven't progressed a whole lot since recorded history. we still fight wars, we grow and eat food, there are a bazillion different languages. creating the internet and art aren't enormous steps. a highly evolved society would have peace and common communication.

again, what are you supporting. if there are fossils before humans, wouldn't that prove that something existed and through time evolved into man. i understand the bible explains that man was god's last creation, but it also states that it was created in a matter of days. i don't think fossils form that fast, bud.

what does that prove, anything? no. it has been established by respected scientists that neanderthals, if they existed, were outside of the human evolution chain.

what support for creation is there in that? nothing. it only shows the growth of the guman race over time.

proto humans. wouldn't that mean that one spieces existed, stemed a more modern and humanlike race, and then itself died out. yeah.

because a species was thought to be extinct and is then rediscovered does not disprove evolution in any way. on the contrary, if someone thought that proto human races were extinct, and then a group was found in the jungle, wouldn't that prove evolution?

if there is one supposedly missing, wouldn't that mean you believe that the scientists, the ones that support evolution, know what they are looking for, and just haven't dug up the right rock yet.

what? i missed what you mean in that. IM/PM me.

so humans may have reached a certain stop. i disagree, but i'll throw you a bone. does that disprove the evolution of any other species?

i'll throw you another bone. this may actually be the only place we agree. say god created the first single celled organism. how did we get were we are?

this refers to the state of matter, not the state of life. as long as water is made up of 2 hydrogens and one oxygen, life can continue.

wait. is you thread talking about life, or rocks. either way, that statement is meaningless.

a mule never hurt anyone...

you're the one missing proff, jacka**



the last bone i throw you, and i hope you dig it up before it fossilizes ( what a tragedy that would be), i am a christian. i believe in creationism. figure your **** out, though.

wow... i think you made maybee one relevent(sp?) point. but as to the squirls bit... the island of maui; hawaii, actually has a really bad cat problem. the way i see it. iether pangea or humans introducing new species can explain how any squirl got on any land mass... unless your talking about an island in a lake in which case as has already been stated... squirls can swim

if you need evidence of evolution, just look at any number of viruses in existance today.

Oh, crap! All this time, we've been debating about squirrels when we should have been debating about squirrls!

I feel so stupid!

Not only is he a coward, but he's also a liar. I see SF_GoldG_01 learns a lot in his bible group.

Uhh it'd disprove it; evolution requires that ancestral species no longer exist at the time that their descendents do

(Why the popular misconception "humans came from apes" is false .. as apes are still around)

Well not from those apes that are still around obviously

this thread is dropping quick, my relevant theory to keep in line with the rest of the argument:

squirrels appear on islands because spiderman put them there.

oh and jon, in golds defence, after seeing the quality of his posts,, i wouldnt be surprised if one piece of homework takes him half a week.

My bump, my bump my lovely lady bumps.

(Yes I'm aware it's humps on the song)

/me continues on the popcorn munching mission

Still waiting.

Squirrels have submarines!

bump

<3

nobody has refuted my spiderman point yet...

i win the thread.

[QUOTE=Mr. Stafford]nobody has refuted my spiderman point yet...

i win the thread.[/QUOTE]

There are no buildings in water. So Spiderman can not drop squirrels off at the island.

There.

You forgot about Atlantis! Spiderman swung on the buildings in Atlantis to get the squirrels to the island!

No, because Atlantis isn't even in our galaxy anymore.

Maybe there's an aquatic spiderman.

This shocks me. Jon`C, you are so immature it amazes me.

He thinks it's false. Leave it at that. Stop trying to convince him to see your ways, and leave him be.

As for the squirrels, Time and unforseen occurences. Like some have said.

he is a human with the ability of a spider without being as frail as an insect (i know a spider is an arachnid, before the bastards pick holes in this perfect argument).

Therefore... HE CAN SWIM FOUR TIMES FASTER THAN ANY HUMAN!!!
