What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

[The Architect Of Fate]

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

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.

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.

The clear answer is 42.

-and that's why accountants make for shitty field archaeologists.

A guy without a brain has a thought experiment.

I have a thought experiment for you.

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,

[The Grand Nudger]

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.
