sorry for the rez'd post.
it would appear that no one here has any common sense about them, nor did they take the time to dissect my post, as I was hoping for (even if that was a bit naive of me at the time).
for starters I am not insane, and the fact that this thread immediately became flooded with spam/trolling instead of ANY more than one (you can go back and count if you like) decent come-back does not say a whole lot for what anyone here knows.
to be honest I had forgotten about this post and just now found it during an internet search on my name, because I forget stuff every now and then, and figured this thread deserved at least a revisit... that and I was supposed to get an e-mail notification, which obviously never occurred.
I do realize it has been a couple years, hopefully some of you (including myself) have matured since then.
let me go back and break down my post, while replying to the only post I got that said any tangible afterwords.
Evolution as a theory in general is a belief that things change over time, which is totally true, at least when we are talking about micro evolution, which is an adaptive change a species makes to suit a change in their environment
a good example of this would be the 'new' human blood sucking moths in Africa (there have been no confirmed reports of them drinking the blood of any other creature to date) I say 'new' because in theory that is true, the developmental change they have made is certainly new for them, to the best of our knowledge, but it has not changed into something other than a moth, and probably never will.
This is where we, and scientist, run into a large titanium reinforced diamond wall, fashioned by an expert jeweler and blacksmith. nothing in our time, or as far as we can prove, has EVER changed into something different; Even the fabled missing link, Lucy, is largely a reconstruction based off a few, largely scattered bones, and to few skull fragments, leaving far too much to the imagination. do a quick wiki search if you don't believe me, I'm in 3D modeling now and based off the curvatures and structures of those bones, I could turn those into anything from a monkey that spends more time on the ground to... well, I think logically and looking at the given bone structure alone that's all I would turn it into, but I also went a little further, as other skeletons of the same species, though much less complete, suggest the same... the only real big eye catcher for this species is the fact that it has developed to be adept at swinging through trees too.
That is the most evidence ever contrived for links between species. the worst part is the fact that all the evidence to support evolution sits in a carefully segmented filing cabinet (most of which are more easily classified as small variations or oddities, the rest are much like our poor misunderstood Lucy) in the basement of a museum that houses an innumerable amount of fossils in the rest of the museum... with not one link... which is sad, to say the least, especially considering the fact that we've found almost all there is to find when it comes to fossils (at least according to most scientists). they quite literally go off nothing but faith, imagination and, yes, I'll say it again, because it is entirely true, government funding. but who wouldn't lie through their teeth, and talk with big impressive words if that's all it took to rake in the cash, heck (and no offense to any Catholics, skip the rest of the paragraph if you would be offended by some criticism) even the Catholics jumped on the band wagon a long time ago, changing the bible to hogwash for their own personal needs, removing the lords name (wait, the Jews did that, sorry) and finding any way possible to work evolution into it, all the while telling everyone else to believe them without doing any research... <i>they</i> certainly didn't do much and that is all it would take the <i>average</i> pastor to be at a loss for words.
moving on; "Christianity" or should I say, <i>Catholicism</i> was in our school systems, which is why I am happy it is not anymore, despite the fact that it did teach some basic Bible principles, they were all unfounded, and the system itself was unjust. so that is one that I can give to the new Evolutionary school system, it has a just way of working, though it is also unfounded (unless you want to call micro evolution macro evolution, which technically you cannot). what's more, it is, again, government funded.. so kudos to the older science departments in school, though they do not need that little lie for their funding anymore.
Evolution encompasses that and that alone, not the rest of all our scientific discoveries, let me repeat that: Evolution encompasses that and that alone, not the rest of all our scientific discoveries, you see this is very important, because evolutionists would love to have you think the opposite is true, thus, in your mind at least, solidifying the idea of it being true, and not something someone made up.
Take a look around you people, you can put something in a void and spin it, sure it is in a void, but don't let that fool you into thinking nothing, mainly itself, can stop it spinning, or at least slow it down. get this: we have an atmosphere, believe it or not it adds a little friction to the mix (shifting winds... blow on a piece of paper, air does have some affects on objects, check out some wind turbines), energy is required for something to spin; it has kinetic energy when it is spinning, but cannot hoard this energy to itself, energy likes to disperse and spread around until it is evenly distributed, that's why we have never been able to make a self powered machine, things give off energy, they share it... we'd be a lifeless rock if it weren't for a) our sun b)our atmosphere c) our rotational axis d)our exact position within out galaxy e) the exact position within our universe and f) the abundance of water.
Due to centrifugal force, earth would have been flat (or at least flatter) if it was spinning much faster, as everything would move towards the equator and even more likely just get projected off into space if it wasn't "bolted down".
Back to the topic of water, it's an amazing substance; high boiling point, low freezing point, it expands both when heated and frozen, and it act like both a base and an acid.
The problem with water is that it breaks down amino acids, very, very rapidly, so as soon as any form, their dead (you can not have a sea of amino acids if water is involved) on that note, sunlight is needed at the exact right time, under the exact right conditions, with water to act as a base reagent, while never getting exposed to any of the harmful radiation from the sun for some time afterwards(death), or water itself during the process(instantly broken down) for life to form from an amino acid under normal conditions... ..... .. . mathematically, that is, and always will be, impossible, unless under extreme, very much forced, lab conditions.
Yes, my name is "justicE" backwards as it was so lovingly pointed out, but the reason I chose Ecitsuj is two fold, one, it is Justice (the meaning of my name) spelled backwards, and two, if you remove the letters c,i, and u switch the letters S and T, you get the scientific term ESTJ
Extroversion Sensing Thinking Judging (which is a Myers-Briggs [personality] Type Indicator) originally I went looking for my personality type with quizzes that mostly turned out those results and asked myself "what can I make with the first letters of each of those words, and after a couple of days I came up with Ecitsuj, which I thought not only fit the Letters closely, but also was neat that it was pretty much my name backwards.
congratulations for figuring that one out, you deserve an award! (how long did it take you to figure that one out? and not the name!)
Yes a void does make itself very clear when you spend some time in it, it also makes the term PHYSICS make some sense to at least some of us.
let's quote Darwin here for a moment:
“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”
“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”
“If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin.”
“A moral being is one who is capable of reflecting on his past actions and their motives - of approving of some and disapproving of others”
“I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.”
(he's dead on there, because the Bible does not say that is how it started)
“To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact”
“False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.”
finally:
“I was a young man with uninformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a <b>religion</b> of them.”
the second law of Thermodynamics says: everything is decaying, and complex thing are becoming simple.
Evolution is a theory that claims things are getting better and simple things are becoming complex. If a theory defies a law, we chuck the theory out the window.
Darwin made a statement that if science could prove him wrong then that is exactly what he was, and that is just one more of the MANY things that easily prove him wrong
Lastly, when did I say the earth was 1000 years old? I had thought it would be closer to 10,000 but I didn't even post that... you just really wanted to call me a Heretic didn't you? figured it would be the ultimate insult eh? any one with any sense of numbers can read a calender enough to discern the earth is much older than 1000 years.
Is that any better now that I have drawn it out? any real comments now?
ps: think back for a few years: how many times has the first amendment been broken because the majority agreed with it? I count at least five within the past three years(not country wide)... it is in NO WAY a valid argument for calling Evolution scientific truth, especially when Darwin himself called it a religion.
