    Religion Creationism, Evolution and the Bible

    It doesn't need to. As many others have already stated, everything about Origins is extraneous to the actual Theory of Evolution. People like fiddling with it because it's interesting but A. it doesn't need to, B. what has happened has odds of 1. And, of course, there's the lovely question of...

    ...dude, there is a difference between animals that would die of heatstroke in the Sahara, and animals existing in basically the same geographic area, with similarish plant life, and using spiracles to be bigger than a human. Environment is NOT Atmosphere. Show me the macroscale life that...

    Religion Creationism, Evolution and the Bible

    That a random sampling is incomplete is not a surprise and not a problem with evolution. It is, however, a problem for the statement "God Created everything at the same time" given that many of these creatures fundamentally cannot exist in the same atmosphere.

    Ah yes, your "I ran numbers years ago, I got this result", with no given numbers and a supporting guy who's of the opinion that actually it's all space virii. No idea where he thinks the space virii came from but he's pretty adamant that space virii are how new species happen. Great evidence...

    Fossils and the dating of such are themselves a fundamental problem with any form of Creationism. The problem with declaring "improbability" is that the time scales are such that, well, it's not actually that improbable anymore. Well, the time scales, and the number of possible locations...

    It's too close to the same size to have been there for 25 years, much more likely it got fixed at some point and the repairs then broke, probably multiple times.

    Dude... fundamentally, Spiracles need higher oxygen concentrations than exist today to permit creatures that size. And no geographic distance is going to explain that. Additionally, many of these fossils are found on top of each other, in layers of rock we can date as millions of years apart...

    United States Desantis cracks down on voter fraud ahead of elections

    Sooooo... when do they go for the clerks who encouraged them and the clerks who signed off on them? Like sure, they didn't double check but there's at least a few clerks who enabled it aren't there?

    Yes. Mostly amphibians, which, btw, even today, breathe at least partly using their skin. Also, unlike spiracles, lungs are pretty good at extracting more or less oxygen based on need. That said, you can still get oxygen poisoning with lungs. So while an animal with lungs could exist in the...

    The bugs did not live at the bottom of the ocean or inside ice, or anywhere else that could have had that degree of difference. Problem, the bugs WEREN'T in some super low altitude with super high air pressure inflating the oxygen density, they were everywhere. Like, to clarify something, the...

    Ah... Let me explain something to you, we have fossils that CANNOT FUNCTION in the same atmospheric mix. It is literally impossible for a number of these fossils to coexist AT ALL. On top of having fossils for things that exist in the same ecological niche in the same geographic locations...

    Vegan Lies Thread

    I think my "favorite" Vegan Lie is "This obligate carnivore I bought as a pet is totally healthy on this vegan diet!" Inevitably, there's a picture of the pet and they are skin and bones.

    Ah yes, "irreducible complexity". Just ignore Archeopteryx demonstrating simplified wing structures. Just ignore the "Lung Fish" demonstrating simplified air breathing apparatus. Just you know, insist that systems never start off doing something entirely different than they wind up doing. As...

    Yes, and Evolution explains it, and therefore let's us be more precise with it, and tossing it out asks the question, "well, why not try something else" you know, like the Soviets did, that was 'fun'. No it's not. This is the fundamental misunderstanding of a lot of people, Evolution is NOT...

    Yes, because Russia can't keep its hands off its direct neighbors when they are Neutral, and we all know how that goes. EDIT: also, there's a thread for this https://www.the-sietch.com/index.php?threads/russia-ukraine-war-political-discussion.7627/
