That's correct Chip, all organisms have cells, and again this is a good indicator of common decent, not just among this or that group, but all groups. If we found some organism that was structured differently, some other mechanism that performed a similar function to a cell but was markedly different, we'd start to wonder wouldn't we? We all share an ancestor that leverages a thing called a cell. I don't know why you think this is a problem for E by NS.
Yes, you said that it is shown repeatedly that scientists are willing to fake evidence, but you're just talking out of your ass. No one gives a shit what you say Chip, you burnt that bridge by repeatedly strawmanning what you believe evolution to be by means of easily demonstrated misinformation, are we clear? If you're going to lie to someones face, at least put a little effort into making it convincing or difficult to deconstruct. Now, it may be that at some point you were just repeating what you've been told, but you've been handed a mountain of corrections and time with which to retract or modify your claims, and you have not. I personally don't feel that this is the course of action of a person who is even remotely attempting to have an intelligent conversation.
Yes, science is self correcting, we don't always get it right. There are no claims to absolute truth in science, only a reasonable measure provisional certainty. This is a problem because?
Flat or stationary Earth was not a product of Aristotle, nor truly, even a product of the bible. It was a common belief for a long time in many areas of the world (it's sort of intuitive, though ultimately incorrect, when you think about it.... so it's understandable considering the tools at their disposal). The authors of the bible took the best science of their time and let it ride. It wasn't really their fault that the best science of the time was incorrect, and this isn't a problem until you invoke the "inspired by god" bit. If so, you'd think that the lord of the universe and creator of all things would have been able to easily disabuse us of our mistakes (unless the lord of the universe really likes fucking with us, in which case, I think you've given god the wrong name, probably ought to go with Loki from here on out). Before any attempt is made at the "explained in a way understandable to the people of the time' line of apologetics- the language and concepts necessary for a rudimentary understanding of the factually accurate narrative of both our origins and indeed the origins of the cosmos already existed and could easily have been explained to any civilization in that area at that time...and this is before I criticize the idea of an omnipotent god being incapable of simply "forcing" understanding.
Again, so you say, but every time you post something like this the value of the things that you say decreases.
