"The Origin of Specious Nonsense"

Alright, so lets take another example many atheists believe in evidence, Evidence is that a home cat can't protect her kids/cubs/whatever against the lion i.e you can't fight empty handed with a person who is equipped with Guns. A cat can't survive her kid/cubs against the lion than why she puts her life in danger by attacking on lion. This is not true for cat only but all the animals. Animal also believe in theory of love against the evidence and that theory is God. So what is survival of the species against the enemy who is so stronger. If i believe in survival of species than as per theory cat should make run against the lion to survive her. Is it not clear contradiction?, Kind sister.
I hope you have no question to this. Why thou are still confused.
Good grief. What?!
Maybe you should re-post this in your native tongue and we can use Google translate because this language makes no sense! 0 -

Evolution from earlier primates
what is source of first human on earth. Don't say it's "Evolution". Even if it was evolution. Who started that evolution. please clear.
Sure, in the same way gravity is "a theory".Isn't evolution "a theory".
Why don't you go look it up if you're genuinely interested?What is evidence of this theory.
...
...but I guess that means you aren't.Why you are believing in theory which has no evidence.
No it isn'tEvolution is also called a religion
Of course they do, otherwise it would be a hypothesis.Evolutionists don't "know" anything about origins. They guess, suppose, etc. but they don't "know."Evolution is a guess, a speculation, an hypothesis, a theory, a faith.
No, no, no, yes, no.
Looks like you don't know what a scientific theory means0 -

Gravity is also a scientific theory, though I doubt you'd be as quick to dismiss it hanging by your fingertips atop a minaret.

I often hear from atheists that “the theory of evolution is as well tested as the theory of gravity”. Strangely though, we never hear physicists saying that the theory of gravity is as well tested as the theory of evolution.:eek:wrote: »Oh sigh
Again I repeat please read The Selfish Gene or in fact any publication that explains the theory of evolution. Actually The Greatest Show on Earth is targeted to people of your view point.
I was just reading the genetic similarities and differences between man and chimp but how we don’t really know which differences are the important ones. In point of fact, we don’t really know if the DNA differences are even significant. The only thing we really know is that a chimp is a chimp because its mother was a chimp. Beyond that, it’s nothing but guesswork. Then I thought about how this compares to the theory of gravity. We know enough about gravity so that we routinely spend billions of dollars launching interplanetary unmanned exploratory spacecraft that, with exquisite precision predicted long before the craft is launched, it moves about the solar system, arriving at known points within meters and seconds years after it is launched and after having traveled circuitous routes for billions of miles. Contrast that with how well we can predict what it takes to turn a chimp into a human. That, my friends, is a true example of how well the theory of evolution has been tested. It hasn’t been tested at all. It’s nothing but WAGs and hand waving. Gravity, on the other hand, is indeed well tested. And that’s why you’ll never hear a physicist saying the theory of gravity is as well tested as the theory of evolution.

Because no one questions the theory of gravity.
Although the point is not that evolution is as well tested as gravity, its that gravity is a theory. Do you accept that gravity is a theory?I was just reading the genetic similarities and differences between man and chimp but how we don’t really know which differences are the important ones. In point of fact, we don’t really know if the DNA differences are even significant. The only thing we really know is that a chimp is a chimp because its mother was a chimp. Beyond that, it’s nothing but guesswork. Er, who told you that?

Evolution is tested all the time, every new creature we discover, every new biological trait tests evolutionary theory.We actually have a load of great predictions and useful tools from evolutionary theory. We use evolution theory when examining how pests and diseases react to medicine and drugs, its why we have to make new drugs for things like MRSA, because they evolved to fight the old ones. Animal husbandry uses evolutionary theory to better bring in beneficial traits in a group of animals. A lot of what we use genetics for, mapping pathogens to determine useful vaccines and the like, are based on evolutionary theory. See here for some more. 0 -

You ask a question and then answer it incorrectly. Doesn't point to you really being all that interested in this subject to be honest.
"We" know that humans and other apes share important similarities by studying the DNA and the phenotypes produces by the DNA.
For exampleThe only thing we really know is that a chimp is a chimp because its mother was a chimp. Beyond that, it’s nothing but guesswork.
What are you defining as "beyond that"? A chimp is a chimp because it has chimp DNA. In the broadest sense you are right, because it has chimp DNA because its parents had chimp DNA. But the entire chimp DNA genome has been sequences (you can download it off the internet if you like). Any biologists can study any gene in the genome and study the phenotype connected with that gene or gene sequence.We know enough about gravity so that we routinely spend billions of dollars launching interplanetary unmanned exploratory spacecraft that, with exquisite precision predicted long before the craft is launched, it moves about the solar system, arriving at known points within meters and seconds years after it is launched and after having traveled circuitous routes for billions of miles. Contrast that with how well we can predict what it takes to turn a chimp into a human.
Again, entire human genome has been sequenced, as has the entire chimp genome. We know as much about the process as we know about flinging spaceships into orbit. Which is why we routinely spend billions of dollars on medical research that relies on evolutionary theory for the research to work.
If evolution was wrong this research wouldn't produce any results and would be a waste of money. Clearly since bio-research firms have been doing this research for over 30 years it isn't a waste of money.
The hundreds of bio-research firms who spend billions of dollars a year using evolutionary theory may disagree.It hasn’t been tested at all.
Can I ask do you work in biological research? I'm curious how you are in a position to say that all these scientists are wasting their time and their companies money, or how the results they have already produced are some sort of collective delusion?0 -

Yes off course. God is also a theory according to many people and also evolution is theory.

Evolution denies the need for a God to be involved in the universe. Evolution is the “creation theory” for the religion of atheism. That's why you are supporting it. But it is very fact that evolution is just theory which has no evidence. isn't it [SIZE=+1]Circular Reasoning – supporting a premise with the premise rather than a conclusion. I remember once u said about circular argument.[/SIZE]0 -
