Why did Communists promote Evolution?
RE: Why did Communists promote Evolution?
Quote:Here is the Nature Journal: "The Book of Genesis puts Adam and Eve together in the Garden of Eden, but geneticists’ version of the duo — the ancestors to whom the Y chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA of today’s humans can be traced — were thought to have lived tens of thousands of years apart. Now, two major studies of modern humans’ Y chromosomes suggest that ‘Y-chromosome Adam’ and ‘mitochondrial Eve’ may have lived around the same time after all1,2." https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2013.13478
]Even your own cited article does not agree with your conclusion. All you have done here is cherrypick a line you think supports you and think were stupid enough to not bother to read the whole article.

I find this part very funny

Quote:. (The biblical reference is a bit of a misnomer because this Adam was by no means the only man alive at his time.)

Or this 

Quote:In February, for instance, researchers led by Michael Hammer, a population geneticist at the University of Arizona in Tucson, reported the discovery of an African American family whose Y chromosomes do not seem to directly descend from Adam's4. One possible explanation is that the Y chromosome came from an archaic species of human that interbred with Homo sapiens tens of thousands of years ago.

Also as Wikipedia points out 

Quote:The name "Mitochondrial Eve" alludes to the biblical Eve, which has led to repeated misrepresentations or misconceptions in journalistic accounts on the topic. Popular science presentations of the topic usually point out such possible misconceptions by emphasizing the fact that the position of mt-MRCA is neither fixed in time (as the position of mt-MRCA moves forward in time as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages become extinct), nor does it refer to a "first woman", nor the only living female of her time, nor the first member of a "new species".[note 4]
This was not the "first woman" as the bible it amazes me that you use a biblical reference and creationists somehow think you're confirming their myths.


Quote:Evolutionists still deny these were the First Couple of course, but at least they admitted they lived around the same time. Maybe in 25 more years they'll get it right, who knows. In the meanwhile, Rev. Williams was right on Piltdown Man 25 years before most Evolutionists, and we are right today.
Because they were not "the first couple " and living at the same time doesn't confirm anything. Also, you have yet to proven  Rev. Williams exposed anything, and even if he did it's irrelevant to the validity of evolution because evolution never relied on peltdown man  Hehe

Lol. I'll take just 2 for now.

"The Atheist No True Scotsman/Scientist Logical Fallacy:

"1. I, an Atheist, dogmatically affirm that No True Scientist could ever possibly support Creation and/or Intelligent Design.
2. I am then presented with loads of unimpeachable evidence that Scientists with the highest of Academic Credentials do this.
3. Therefore, I, an Atheist, affirm that, since No True Scientist could ever possibly support Creation and/or Intelligent Design (as I, an Atheist, stated without proving it in the first premise), therefore Creation Scientists and ID Scientists are allegedly not Scientists."

Sophisms, sophisms, and more sophisms.

And to Thump: The Catholic Church is the largest organizational Health Care Provider in the entire world, as the Wiki article in my signature documents. Even the Anti-Catholic Voltaire praised the Good Work done by such Saintly Souls as Catholic Nuns even in his time, to whom of course I donate in ours; because they do such Good Work for All People in India, irrespective of religion; and indeed on Multiple Continents as I've mentioned. It's also reasonable for those who want to attack the Church on these grounds to be asked how much they're doing for Charities/Health Care/Orphanages themselves. If they're doing less, then they criticizing the Church for it is like someone who hasn't done comparatively any space research criticizing NASA saying: "NASA just isn't doing sufficient space research", implying he/she could do it better.

Btw, you should know giving to the Poor also counts as giving to the Lord, as the Lord says in Mat 25. I donate not only to Christian but also Secular Organizations in some cases when I see them doing Good Work. It all depends on who does Good Work. Catholic Nuns/Sisters surely do.

See these: "Anti-Christian persecution in India attracted worldwide attention in 2008 when violence in the northeastern state of Orissa left 90 dead and fifty thousand homeless (see “Kill Christians and Destroy Their Institutions,” CWR, December 2008). Most anti-Christian persecution, however—such as these incidents that took place during the last six months of 2009—is rarely mentioned in the Western media.

• In July, the BJP government in Karnataka refused to extend a property lease and demanded that a Catholic social service agency return 58 acres to the government. In 1977, the state government had leased the property to the agency to help care for leprosy patients. Over the years, the agency built 60 houses for leprosy and AIDS patients, as well as a factory, a job training center, and a dispensary. Upon implementation, the government decision will leave 360 homeless." From: https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2011...e-of-hope/ 

"Almost unknown in the United States, the Indian-based Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, founded by Blessed Mary of the Passion in 1877, number 7,050. Combining Eucharistic contemplation with missionary activity, they serve on six continents and are most active in Asia and Europe. Unlike other leading women’s religious institutes, the institute displays on its website numerous pictures of members without habits. The institute’s membership declined by 189 between 2006 and 2008.

The Franciscan Clarist Congregation, founded in 1888, is based in Kerala, the southwestern Indian state that has been the nation’s center of Catholicism since its evangelization by St. Thomas the Apostle. Canonized by Pope Benedict in 2008, St. Alphonsa of the Immaculate Conception (1910-46)—a Franciscan Clarist, and the nation’s first canonized saint—combined the spirituality of St. Francis with that of the Easternrite Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. The congregation, which serves the elderly, orphans, lepers, AIDS patients, and others in need, has 6,984 members—a gain of 62 between 2006 and 2008."

Another excellent book with a plethora of important information on almost everything pertaining to this subject (irrespective if you agree with all of Dr. Brown's conclusions or not) is Dr. Walt Brown's In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood.

Dr. Brown has a Ph. D from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology:

Again, this pedo enabler Nishant is filling another topic with claims irrelevant to the subject of conversation.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Hey Genocide Enabler and Lying Slanderer, you should stop that rubbish. Thump asked me a question and I addressed it. That's how discussions proceed. I answered Evolutionist Sophisms on the Fossil Record which you haven't even touched because you're afraid your False Religion of Darwino-Marxist Evolutionist Atheism will come crashing down, being built it as it is on an Edifice of Lies.

Good thing I didn't say any of that.  Hehe

Saying Denton should submit his work to peer review is not saying he's not a scientist and A creationist can be a scientist with credentials while their belief creationism is not science. Just like a believer in free energy can be an engineer that doesn't make free energy a valid engineering principle. And anyone who pushes something that's not science as science is a crank regardless of credentials or academic achievement.

You are really bad at this 

As for your second "argument," it's of no relevance so i don't really care

Great let him submit his findings to peer review instead of writing pop books for laymen. You know like an actual scientist would.

Lol, you answered nothing. You just displayed your ignorance and engaged in a lot of bad reasoning and tired creationist tropes.

Thump is the poster "Thumpalampacus" btw in case that isn't clear. His name is too long for me so I shorten it a little.

And no, I destroyed and blew your false theory of Ape-Human Evolution out of the water. The Fossil Record alone suffices to conclusively demolish it. Q.E.D.

Also, you're a Genocide Defender too, Helios, until you clearly condemn the Ongoing Genocide and Persecution of 360 MN Christians.

You have no right to call me a pedo defender and that's a vicious lie, malicious slander and outright defamation on your part after I condemned Pedophilia as a Mortal Sin worthy of Eternal Hell-Fire and a Civil Crime meriting legal punishment.
