Re: Dolphins and Evolution!

You know, I don't understand what all the fuss is about anyway. They're just a bunch of fish. Sister Thumper has grilled a few of those up for me and they're dee-lish.

They're just dumb animals after all.

Re: Dolphins and Evolution!

I assume you have read the replies by Pastor Ezekiel and WilliamJenningsBryan and are now feeling sufficiently contrite.

As it happens, I have read about Mount Improbable under the supervision of a Pastor. It appeared to me to be more than unlikely that evolution would drag things up the slope of a mountain only to leave them there, when clearly God can do the job in one clean lift.

It is rather like my asking you to take a cargo of cattle manure from Iowa to Florida and your deciding to go via Alaska.

As far as cruelty is concerned, you have to agree that in the light of the knowledge that this experiment has given us, the cost, in suffering, has been exceptionally light.

Which secularist could have thought that dolphins could forget how to swim?

That little nugget of knowledge could lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s (the secular name) which is a condition where the brain becomes completely full and memories fall out of it as new ones try and force their way in.

Mount Improbable is written to give the reader insight that design exists without a designer. Natural selection. Even if Genesis is correct you can not deny that natural selection exists and results in complexity and design over a given length of time. In order to read Mount Improbable you have think that order came about without God. Think for yourself and not just what this online soceity tells you how to think.

This is a cruel experiment because you deliberately did not do any reasearch on how evolution works before attempting the experiment. You ask, "Which secularist could have thought that dolphins could forget how to swim?" The dolphins didn't "forget" to swim, they most likely were so dramatized from the horrific events that they lost all motor abilities.

You're implying that evolution works as though it can be recovered from memory. It is not that particular dolphin that walked on land but its great ancestor, which was adapted and fitted to life on land, where as the dolphin as adapted and fitted to live in the water. You're just sick and have no sympathy for other organsims. If there was anything that repels me from Christianity and accepting Jesus Christ as my savior, it would be you Ezekiel Bathfire.

You have been repeatedly shown to be wrong and you would think that you would go back and study a little more before making your posts.

"Scientists" are constantly being amazed at how their old notions of "evolution" are being undermined by new evidence. Oh sure, they are still offering the same old excuses and still rejecting God – but they will one day come around to seeing the Truth.

There are countless examples, but here are a couple to get you started (you can do your own research):

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2004/dec/29/evolution.science

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=5657338

I will admit that some scientists are sceptical on the theory of evolution because of irreducible complexity and could give the idea of an intelligent designer a thought. However, the scientists that believe in evolution enormously outweigh the number of scientists that don't.

That Dawkins character is a known communist and a sodomite as well. Why should anyone believe him?

We accept the Word of God. You know, the one who CREATED Dawkins.

You fail once again.

You have no proof that Dawkins is a communist or a sodomite. It's not listed in the Bible thus it can not be accurate. Give me one link that supports the idea that Dawkins is either a communist or a sodomite and I'll give you a cookie.

My God LyingDingDong, you must be another one of those PETAtards that watches the fictional shows on Animal Planet. You have no scientific basis on which to ascribe anthropomorphic characteristics to animals. You have no idea what is going on inside their pea brains, not to mention aspiring to be thespians.

Re: Dolphins and Evolution!

What do you mean, “Even if Genesis is correct…?” It’s the first Book of the Bible! God is not going to make a mistake on the first page is He?

you can not deny that natural selection exists and results in complexity and design over a given length of time.

Have you ever visited a site called “Landoverbaptist.org”? I suggest you do, because that will answer your question!

In order to read Mount Improbable you have think that order came about without God.

Unthinkable!

Think for yourself and not just what this online soceity tells you how to think.

God does 90% of my thinking – this is the reward of Faith! You’ve no idea how many worries this simple act dispels! Praise!

This is a cruel experiment because you deliberately did not do any reasearch on how evolution works before attempting the experiment.

You keep posting on how evolution works – I read what you said – I assume that that is sufficient? Or have you been misleading us?

You ask, “Which secularist could have thought that dolphins could forget how to swim?”. The dolphins didn't “forget” to swim, they most likely were so dramatized from the horrific events that they lost all motor abilities.

Well, if they were dramatized, they deserve Oscars! The were unmoving and belly-up!

You're implying that evolution works as though it can be recovered from memory.

Like riding a bike – once learned, never forgotten. Or are you implying that evolution works as a one-way street in which previous advantage is discarded? That would be disadvantageous!

If there was anything that repels me from Christianity and accepting Jesus Christ as my Savior, it would be you Ezekiel Bathfire.

I can lead horses to water but I can’t make them drink; There are none as blind as they that will not see!

I will admit that some scientists are sceptical on the theory of evolution because of irreducible complexity and could give the idea of an intelligent designer a thought.

As pleased as I am to hear that you are willing to embark upon the Road To Salvation by accepting God exists, I see Intelligent Design as pandering to the unholy creed of so-called science! It is like an atheist becoming an agnostic: an atheist would say that this is a retrograde step!

However, the scientists that believe in evolution enormously outweigh the number of scientists that don't.

Nice to see you speaking for the entire scientific community but let me tell you, that none of the scientists at Landover believe this! So your “all” is a bit off.

You have no proof that Dawkins is a communist or a sodomite. It's not listed in the Bible thus it can not be accurate. Give me one link that supports the idea that Dawkins is either a communist or a sodomite and I'll give you a cookie.

LyingDingDong – you are an idiot! You are just about to lose a bet again and even though the wager is only a cookie, you are not going to pay up! Dawkins speaks continually of the evolutionary advantage of co-operation; he speaks of how organisms that aid others tend to fare better. Marx it was who said, “from each according to his ability, to each according to their need.” You will see that Marx and Dawkins are at one; ergo Dawkins is a communist!
WHERE’S MY COOKIE!!!!

[StarrKingGrad]

Re: Dolphins and Evolution!

Marx it was who said, “from each according to his ability, to each according to their need.”

That was a very Christian thing for Marx to say:

Acts 11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea.

Acts 4:34-35 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

As a True Christian, you do agree with that sentiment, don't you?

You’re deeply weird. Have you finished burning that wicker man on a beach to save the world? And did it work?

The difference here is that Marx wanted it to be done under the compulsion of being sent to a gulag and being worked, beaten and starved to death in the freezing cold of Siberia and all for a monolithic State, whereas God, in His infinite Wisdom and Mercy wants you to do it so that you may find Salvation in Him alone and enjoy Eternal Bliss in the Life Hereafter, as opposed to having your flesh peeled in the Fires of Hell.

Sounds like you’re a commie too!

Starrboy,

We Christians also believe that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10

Please stop cherrypicking the Bible for just the verses that you like. You can accept the Bible or reject it, but selectively quoting Scripture to support your leftist agenda isn't going to convince anyone.

I'm shocked that you don't know the difference between Marx and Lenin, but I'm glad to hear that you True Christians will be selling your Silver Tither gated communities voluntarily to help the downtrodden. And it's heartening to hear that you're against compulsion. Now, if only the Biblical God would get on board with you on that, the world would be a much better place.

Sounds like you’re a commie too!

Communism has proved itself to be an economic failure; it's hard for a society to have economic justice when it doesn't have a functioning economy. Communism also supresses growth of the human spirit. So, no, I'm not a big fan. But I've been called worse.

Please stop cherrypicking the Bible for just the verses that you like.

If the Bible weren't so filled with inconsistencies, I wouldn't even be able to cherrypick. But I really don't want to argue with you, Smith--it's like there's not a real person on the other side of the debate, just a brick wall.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Re: Dolphins and Evolution!

I'm shocked that you don't know the difference between Marx and Lenin,

Lenin was shot on 8 December 1980, in Joo York by Mark Chapman. Marx was constantly was disappointed that the English lower classes would not rise up and kill the rightful upper classes. Lennon was merely carrying out Marx’s philosophy that anyone with half a brain would have know did not work.

Communism has proved itself to be an economic failure; […] I'm not a big fan. But I've been called worse.

I take that as something short of a denial

If the Bible weren't so filled with inconsistencies,

Godd News! It isn’t!

I really don't want to argue with you, Smith

A good decision – Brother Smith would wipe the floor with you.

Ah, yes, the one who wrote about the Landover Paypal button in a some song discussing his ideas about revolution.

Nice to see that you True Christians have a sense of humor, but you seem to be ducking my question about the Landover bigshots selling their cars, personal jets, gold plated golf clubs, rolling estates, etc. voluntarily to help the less fortunate. That is going to happen, right?

SAVE THE WHALES! AND THE DOLPHINS!

Speaking of which, did you preach the Gospel to the dolphins before their inexplicable deaths? Jesus, in Mark 16:15, admonished Christians, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." You do take that verse literally, don't you?
