What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

[The Valkyrie]

"Darwin said...in 1859".

Yeah, we've progressed somewhat in the intervening 164 years.

Lol, I just recalled this later part of Prez. Lincoln's speech. Lincoln the Non-Devout Christian, everybody.

It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.

Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do by this my proclamation designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of April, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer. And I do hereby request all the people to abstain on that day from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite at their several places of public worship and their respective homes in keeping the day holy to the Lord and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion.

All this being done in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the divine teachings that the united cry of the nation will be heard on high and answered with blessings no less than the pardon of our national sins and the restoration of our now divided and suffering country to its former happy condition of unity and peace. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

[Nishant Xavier]

yes, Valkyrie. We have. But problems in the Fossil Record still exist.

[The Grand Nudger]

Is it a number greater or lesser than ten?

[Nishant Xavier]

It numbers ni the millions. The hundreds of millions of years to be precise. I think a Good Mathematician could very well be the one who finally helps refute Evolution - because Evolution is mathematically absurd. Over the course of 100s of Millions of Years of Evolution, things would look very different than what they are. I'm not an Evolutionary Biologist, but I intend to closely collaborate with those who are and try to do some work toward answering this Theory.

Here's "Evolution Outreach" on the "gappy nature" of the Fossil Record.

"Darwin used the words “extreme imperfection” to refer not to any personal character flaw but to the gappy nature of the fossil record (Darwin 1859). The vast majority of organisms that have lived on Earth never fossilized. Jellyfish and worms? Too squishy to fossilize very often. Butterflies? Too delicate, for the most part. Anything that lived on mountain slopes or in fast-moving rivers? Unlikely to be covered by sediment and preserved. Darwin saw such haphazard preservation as a serious problem for the theory of evolution. After all, he was proposing that different modern species share common ancestors—that organisms as different as lobsters and butterflies have the same great-great-great-great…great-grandparent species. Direct fossil evidence of all the intermediate forms connecting an ancestor to its modern descendents would have provided undeniable evidence in favor of his theory. In Darwin’s view, however, the fossil record provided no such support. Much of On the Origin of Species is taken up with marshalling other forms of evidence to support his ideas about common ancestry and natural selection."

Nope because due to the nature of fossilization, we should expect lots of gaps. This in no way challenges the theory because of what we do have. And don't confuse "we don't know therefore god" with " We will never have all the fossils due to the nature of fossilization but we have more than enough to confirm the theory" As for Darwin as I already explained he was writing at the dawn of paleontology so of course he wasn't going to rely on it for his theory(thou he provided more then enough evidence without it) but it no the less supports evolution. Also nice going using a website for Laymen 

[Nishant Xavier]

Typo. Not Evolutionary Biologist, just Normal Biologists. Lol.

[The Grand Nudger]

Okay, so for hundreds of millions of obvious hoaxes, you'd abandon your religion. That seems foolish and backward, but to each his own.

[The Valkyrie]

yes, Valkyrie. We have. But problems in the Fossil Record still exist.

And?

And, as I've said, those gaps are closing every year.

Problems with your belief system persist, especially when claims are proven wrong.

Age and number in no way correlate  to the number of fossils. A species could have a billion members and be around a billion years and we may only find 2 fossils. But those two fossils regardless of completion I might add are all the evidence we need. No creationist will accept this as they are dogmatically obligated to deny it. But that changes nothing. 

because Evolution is mathematically absurd. 

Not remotely 

Over the course of 100s of Millions of Years of Evolution, things would look very different than what they are.

Personally credulity and not an argument. And this assumption is baseless. 

 I'm not an Evolutionary Biologist,

Obviously or wouldn't say ignorant shit like "things look more different because I say so"

 but I intend to closely collaborate with those who are and try to do some work toward answering this Theory.

And you will fail because you don't even grasp the most basic concepts
