The definitive evolution debate - there are 3 rounds - you decide who won.

VS.

She won the debate because she was coming from a defensive stance and instead of creating an actual argument for it, Ross states that you can 'see' evolution which is the stupidest argument for it.

Opposable thumbs do not prove evolution in themselves. they are an example of microevolution, not macroevolution.

Plus, he gives in at the end. No upstanding atheist would ever admit that there's a tinsy, bitsy, bit of a possibility that evolution is wrong ;)

They would. That was right of him to do.

Evolution is highly supported yes, although it is a theory. Don't get me wrong, I believe in evolution, and I understand that it takes a large amount of evidence and irrefutability for a hypothesis to become a theory, but saying that there's no tinsy, bitsy, bit of a possibility that the theory is wrong is just having a closed mind.

You can "see" evolution. You can't observe it through fossils like Ross suggested, but we've seen it through Peppered Moths in the industrial age. Peppered Moths had higher frequencies of white-bodied moths Pre-Industrial era, but when soot became more common and was absorbed into tree bark, black-bodied moths were of higher frequency. Once the 1900's rolled around and this soot became less common, white-bodied moths became more common once again.

So..., once liberal policies become more of a liability, conservative will win the white house? ;)

If all species were created independent of one another maybe the creator was using some to draft others. Think for a minute before you type.

Exactly right! Peppered moths are an excellent example of how we can sometimes still see Evolution is progress, or the results of a recent evolutionary process.

The so-called "super bugs" are another example. Since the over-prescribing of antibiotics by physicians over the past five decades or so, many bacterium have evolved so as to be immune to traditional antibiotics. MRSA is an example of this.

Same deal with viruses. They have evolved and mutated as well, making them ever more difficult to eradicate.

We can see vestiges of our very own (homo sapiens) Evolution by looking at some present physiological aspects of our own bodies. Like your Coccyx..which is the remnants of your tail. Body hair. Fight or Flight response too! Why do you get goose bumps when you are scared? Because when we had fur it was a tactic to make the fur stand up straighter, thus making us appear larger and more fearsome to our potential enemies.

Here are some other ways we can see Evolution in progress...

OMG the video is awesome.

And its accurate. Phoebe is so simple but the holes in evolution are simple, and the answer is simple.

But many scientists have evolved to NOT ask questions they can't answer because they are simply too challenging.

Now in modern day science and archeology there is more concern with controlling the outcome of science research than research.

Science and related studies spend every dollar and every hour of research on weighing data that supports their theories, a variety of theories I add, and each only admit evidence relative to the whole of their theory. But dismiss evidence that poses a challenge to their overall theories.

That's pseudo-science !

While Biblical Historic and Prophetic credible evidence shows the origin not even related to the method, should be addressed and answered also!

Biblical evidence, have any of you made it thorough honest investigation?

Why would one avenue of study be superior in selection of evidene having exclusive science evidence in bio studies, that still leave questions. How is it objective true investigation, while leaving out of consideration copious amounts of evidence?

There are patterns of evidence in archeology, and history that need to be considered as evidence included for comple investigation. And also Prophetic fulfillments.

Math Science History - if you have a historical facts that has some unexplained scientifically, you can't ignore it because of science. You have to confirm th3 events historically then answer them with science.

So I'm saying that without weighing them and answering them then your scientific determinations regarding God are scientifically incomplete and is faulty because your investigation is void, because your are selective only of evidence that supports your conclusion, while ignoring evidence that challenges.

Watch Patterns of Evidence - on Netflix start there,with an intent to discuss if there is evidence for proof of God

The " lack of finding" are lies, incompetence, and a lack of field integrity"

Evidence found is strong and detailed, and in excellent condition, reflective as written in the Bible.

So then, take some of these stories like Joseph, it is both history and pre-foretold prophesy, then consider the story. Joseph somehow knew through a dream interpretation that a famine would strike with a specific eta for the start of it, and Joseph went from Slave to most honored man in Egypt, preparing them for 7 years of famine, whereby Egypt grew in wealth and might!

And these archeological findings confirm the story, see Patterns of Evidence - documentary.

There are factors that defy math probability, and science.

And even if explained by science, was it purposeful intrusion to have the coincidence of perfect timing?

There certainly is AS MUCH evidence that you are correct, as there is that Bible thumpers are correct. I can't believe one , the other needs even more research but looks more promising.

No wonder you are so unfunny, you watch Friends. That explains so much.
