No, you fucking don't. If your beliefs were facts, you could provide actual, testable, verifiable evidence to back them up. You may think you "know," but you don't.

Yes I do, the fact I can't bring you testable, verifiable proof is because it takes a belief in our savior to see it. An open heart to Christ will open the eyes of the hardest person.

Second you haven't look at scientific ones because you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself here writing that there has never been an observation of evolution happening in the lab. If you truly read a scientific book or even an article on evolution you would know that back in the 1960's first one to observe and repeat evolution in the lab was Theodosius Dobzhansky. It has happened a number of times since then and we know how to make that happen now as New Scientist described in a June 9, 2008 article titled "Bacteria Make Major Evolutionary Shift in the Lab"
https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn1...n-the-lab/

There was even observation of a single-celled organism becoming multicellular under controlled laboratory conditions and it needed just 60 days.
https://www.wired.com/2012/01/evolution-...llularity/

 I had to do that, it was ridiculously funny, pun intended. Evolution is not a controlled process and until you learn that you want see anything in true light. Scientist playing at being a god doesn't mean evolution took place.

Your arse is not a source of knowledge or wisdom neither are creationist websites, so stop using them. Unless you're a troll, albeit a cleaver one, you know exactly how far you can go too far, least the ban hammer falls. And as pointed out above, your constant reference to PRATT, tells me you aren’t the least bit genuine with regard to open honest discussion.

 I dodged nothing and you've provided only ennuendo. As far as my testimony about Christ I tell what I know and then it's up to you to deal with. God doesn't try to prove Himself through the scriptures, He calls for faith first.

You are right about that, and the big picture of evolution has no picture at all. My God didn't need all that time to create create those animals and He designed into them the ability to adapt, that type of programming needs little time.

Changing the information, true, adding new information, no. None of the things you noted above can add new information to DNA. DNA is not just it is essential.
Altered DNA information means a loss of the original not a gain in the new, you know this why are you trying to argue against something you know, a house divided will not stand, that is what evolution is regardless of how widely it might be accepted. Like atheist on this site like to say the majority doesn't matter, the truth does.

Astreja Wrote:I call bullshit.  An expert in radiometric dating would not have reported 100,000 years using C14, as the practical limit of that dating method is only about 50,000 years.

There is also a slim chance that a filter-feeding bivalve such as the unfortunate oyster in question might have ingested something that would yield a false positive, such as some dissolved calcium carbonate that had originally been in a fossil in  an ancient seabed and leached out into the water, but that is a minor consideration considering that the whole story sounds, um, fishy.

Right you are and glad to see you've given a reasonable limit to that test that was used for many years to date things that were said to be millions of years old and guess what those dates have never been changed from there original test by C-14. C-14 is even less reliable than that because we can not know for sure the c14 that was present at the time and also it doesn't work on fossils since the original tissues are no longer present. Not a fishy story, the test was done before a time limit was recognized for c14 and since evolutionary science doesn't re-date it's old claims I do not need to either, that's fair, right. Since an oyster filters water to clean it the calcium carbonate would have been retained in the living animal, processed and deposited into it's shell as new material, your slim chance just went out the door.

I thank you for believing I wouldn't intentionally lie to you because I wouldn't. I can distinguish just fine between those examples you've given. If you haven't read my posts on the process of a knowledge of God then let me state it here, first come faith and faith leads to belief and belief used properly leads to a knowledge of God, this is taught in the NT and unfortunately few seem to recognize this.

I poisoned no well, you seem to believe that telling the truth in my case is some how being disrespectful, not sure how you can come to such a conclusion. You all believe and may I say falsely, that I'm upset at things said to me and I'm not, the attitude used does not make for friendly thoughts from me, but I generally let them go. If I was to responded to all the trash thrown my way I would never be able to have the time to post on subject.
I do not call people fools, I do say they have foolish idea, thoughts and such. There's a big difference.
I call people blind when they reject truth because they want to reject what another knows as the truth. I also call people blind when they us demeaning wording toward me and add nothing responsible to the conversation, that's is childish.
I do not act like the only adult in the room, sometimes I'm the biggest child because I should know better. Most of my unsavory comments go to those who act most like children, mostly because they are and the newbies because they are trying to impress people like you with their insolent behavior, now if I'm guessing right these things will be considered poisoning the well also.

 Because you lived in a Christian environment doesn't mean you know anything about the Christian faith. I do posses a truth that all non-believers have rejected and they accept any reasonable explanation of the scriptures and how they work to warrant another look. believe me I know why atheist do this, I did it for years, I'm no stranger to the excuses that can be made to avoid looking into the scriptures.
You probably see me in the way you do because I'm a rather blunt at times, especially when I've explained the same thing over and over to the same person, sometimes for years. being truthful doesn't make me childish and believing in the God of creation and salvation doesn't make me gullible, that would be only your opinion. You are able to have that opinion of me if you so desire and believe me it doesn't bother me nor am I complaining about it. I have far greater things to worry about in this world than what people think about me when I know they are not right. This my mother and father taught me long ago.

I haven't contradicted myself it's your confused brain that's the problem. Scientist go into the lab and try a controlled experiment and then claim it's evolution. Evolution, as I stated earlier has to be without exception a natural uncontrolled action outside any lab, other wise it's a scientist trying to play a god. Evolution has never been observed in nature, period , and a statement that it has would be a lie.

Oh so you're on a holy mission of lying for Jesus. Too bad for you that your lies are are easily disproved since evolution is observed in nature all the time. Like evolution of language: Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese all evolved from Latin. Each of these newer tongues emerged via a slow accumulation of their own unique lingo, occasionally acquiring new slang, abbreviations, or terms adopted from other sources (these are analogous to genetic mutations, BTW). Thus, the original Latin diverged into new dialects and eventually distinct forms of gibberish such that the new Romans could no longer effectively communicate with either Parisians or Spaniards. Take that novel "Don Quixote" which is old enough that in its original form, it isn't yet Spanish, but it isn't quite Latin anymore either; it is an intermediate form.
