What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

You can't be a biologist and ignore the cornerstone of modern biology it's like being a physicist and saying gravity doesn't exist.

You have to remember, they live in a fairy world with dragons and ghosts and biology absent it's unifying theory. They think they're arguing against a that, instead of a how.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Ok, I have a simple thought experiment for you. Let's say Species X existed for 100,000 years. Species Y by contrast for 10 MN years. Now, Mr. Darwin, or whoever it is, hypothetically, proposes that Species Z is the Common Ancestor of both Species X and Species Y and existed for 100 MN years, let's say.

Let's call the Number of Fossils we have of Species X as N1. Let's call the Number of Fossils of Species Y as N2. And let's define N3, which we're solving for, or at least trying to find a rough estimate of, as the Number of Fossils of Species Z we expect to find if in fact this Hypothesis is Actually True in the Real World.

What would you expect? In Terms of N1 and N2, where would you expect N3 to be? Same, similar, vastly higher, etc. Give Reasons why and let's discuss.

A guy without a brain has a thought experiment.
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"

Pick up and read some actual science books.

As I already said the number of fossils has nothing to do with population or long a species has been around and the number of how many we find is all evidence we require for the theory to be true we don't don't need to estimate numbers of predicted fossils as ANY amount is enough even if we only found one out of a population of billions as fossils are rare and only sometimes we find large numbers. So this experiment is just creationist mental masturbation. We have all the fossils we need. And no amount of your creationist priori denialism will change this,

Fossils schmossils. When all we had to refer to was the fossil record we got things profoundly wrong. Darwin, for example, got things -about- the fossil record profoundly wrong. If a person needs to believe that their god is a mud magician rather than a biochemist - then they're going to need to tilt the lance at genetics, not bones.

It wouldn't shock if humans were wiped out and only one sample of a modern fossil existed and a race of aliens who held the belief they were the only intelligent life in the universe found it and we would have alien NX screaming humans didn't by the same absurd logic our NX uses. He probably accuses all the Alien Scientists of planting any possible artifacts and insists that humans don't look different enough for his tastes as if the universe conforms to what he expects.Motivated skepticism is the worst kind.
