If you are going to say "it would be nice if you Brian37 would ask God to come into your life" then why are you dodging what you believe by trying to say "I'm not trying to convince you". When I have something I think will help someone else I expose them to it and argue for it.

If I hold a position I defend it and I do not beat around the bush about it like you are here. But that is what believers have to do to sneak their superstition in through the back door.

NOW, you think I am being harsh for no reason. Not true. When I say "intellectual cowardice" I am saying for your own benefit, not mine, you need to be willing to face your position instead of dodging it or dancing around it and be willing to admit when you are wrong.

Our species however has a majority, throughout our species evolution, tend to lean to going with what feels right rather than test it to see if it is actually true.

Now, it has been way too long since we have known what DNA is which puts a damper on claims of virgin births. We also know what happens scientifically after death which puts the idea of a 3 day old dead body in the trash can of bad claims.

So it boils down to asking yourself, NOT ME, but yourself.

What is more important to you "going with what you believe because it makes you feel good"

Or, knowing the truth even if it does not match up with your wishes?

The first is what you are doing and hardly impresses me. Muslims and Jews also like what they believe. And the Egyptians liked believing that the sun was a god.

Otherwise if you had something, you'd at the patent office and have a Nobel Prize in science and could actually make an argument that would convince even the likes of the scientists words you tried to hide behind to pretend we don't know that you do have an invisible friend claim.

mmmh I think looking at what you have written, the infinite number of monkeys is still a long way from typing a shakespeare play. So as we have descended to this level I must give you one of my LAST WORD cards ( don't forget don't turn it over )

Oh no, not that dead stupid argument rearing it's pathetic ugly head again.

You stupidly think that evolution as a science claims that a human baby came directly from a monkey. You need to sue the person who sold you that bullshit and have them locked up.

You have grandparents, did they die at the moment your parents were born? Did your parents die exactly at the moment you were born? If you have cousins, did they die when you were born?

You do know what the word "cousins" means. If you can be genetically related to other people without coming out of the same womb, then the concept of "common ancestors" should make sense to you.

The classification of "primates" is the description of the genetic line we have in common with other primates. Only an idiot who does not understand evolution would claim evolution means a human baby came out of a monkey.

There is a reason the word "cats" is used both in "big cats" such as tigers and lions, along with "domestic house cats", because when you go back far enough in evolutionary biology at one time they shared the same ANSESTORS(PLURAL} And not only merely looking at them should tell you that they are related, but DNA will also prove that a tabby and lion shared the same ancestors.

Now, evolution IS SLOW and is nothing more than the atoms in our genes getting shuffled over long periods of time. For the same reason you don't look like a baby now, evolution allows very subtle changes which creates that "look separation" while DNA proves that at one time we were more genetically connected.

I think maybe Ray Comfort may have sold you the stupid crocoduck argument and you fell for it.

Quote: think looking at what you have written, the infinite number of monkeys is still a long way from typing a shakespeare play

Never claimed monkey's could type a sheakspere play. Evolution proves that we had common ancestors.

But how convenient that your childish misunderstanding leads to Jesus and not Allah or Vishnu. You do know I have run into Muslims who pull your crap too. If they cant prop up their myth with science, they attack it.

Evolution is a fact, sorry you don't like it. But do not lie to me and say you'd turn down DNA evidence in a murder trial, you would accept it. So if you can accept DNA in that area, then you have no choice but to accept that DNA proves that humans had common ancestors with other primates.
