olsonm
it is not subjective to say the human eye; the photorecptors are backward reducing visual acuity there is a hole where fibers enter the eye = blindspot squids don't have this problem buy vert's do swallow and chew through the same whole = choking you state better in my opinion so are you saying reduce visual acuity is good that that blindspot is good that breathing and chewing through the same whole is optimal HOW is that subjective?

Well in order to believe the science about the appendix and wisdom teeth - you'd have to believe in the theory of evolution.
I never heard that the tonsils didn't serve any purpose - just that scientists weren't sure if they did or what that purpose may be. You can still live without your tonsils.

first of all what you seem to miss that this is thread is a non-god thread
nothing here is against the force so to speak but against an anthropomorphic or anthropopathic creator on this thread you have the burden of proof so show us your CHRISTAIN god part I quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For thousands of years, man thought the earth was flat. And up until about fifty years ago man was certain that the atom was the smallest building- block in the universe. Man was wrong about those things, so couldn't there be a slight possibility that man is wrong about evolution as well? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't see how this is at all unreasonable. Do You? Yet the author claims that the evolutionist, in admitting that it is reasonable, is 'betraying science'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would just sub reasonale with POSSIBLE. Its possible that britttany spears is satan incarnate, its possibe that i'll be able to take some genetic material from tolkien's grave and resurect him, it's possible that william shanter will win an academy award. well maybe not the last one quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In actuality, the roman catholic church accepted and sponsored astronomers until it was urged to decry them by the scientific aristolian league. They did so not because of what thier religion taught, but because the intellectuals of hte day (who were usually priests or otherwise privilidged) didn't want to accept that the classical greek and roman philosophies (i.e. heliocentricism) were wrong. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- that’s just plain wrong a handful of greeks postulated a helio-centric view however European learning was based on the Greek sources that had been passed down, and cosmological and astronomical thought were based on Aristotle and Ptolemy. Aristotle's cosmology of a central Earth surrounded by concentric spherical shells carrying the planets and fixed stars was the basis of European thought from the 12th century CE onward. Technical astronomy, also geocentric, was based on the constructions of excentric circles and epicycles codified in Ptolemy's Almagest (2d. century CE). The Catholic Church supported a largely Aristotelian physical world view, skilfully woven into Christian theology by St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274).

That would only mean anything if we were claiming that humans were perfect now. We're not.

i'm still confused on the radio-dating what IS a precise reading and what IS an accurate reading

i'm NOT talking about the imperfect debate but the earlier stuff where you said BASICALLY you agreed with all of our facts but not our conclusions about an old earth, evolution etc

I believed that your implied conclusion was, if 'God' could have made it better 'he' would have. There is no proof of this. My response to you was incomplete and unargumentative, and I apologize.
Saying that something isn't optimal doesn't prove that it's flawed. A flaw is a mistake. This line of argument doesn't disprove design, just 'perfect design', which I've always found to be irrational anyway. Again, people design things that are inherently un-optimal, why not 'God'. P.S. I do believe in 'evolution'.

I've often thought that god was a 2nd grade alien and we were his science project that went awry.

I've always thought so too, BeardofPants. He probably got an F though on it.

In an effort to support my brethren, albeit without sarcasm and forced cordiality, I wish to present my own evidence for theism.
The arguments against theism are the fact that most of the "evidence" for it are intangible. So, so true. Why should you believe that there is a superior being that created us and so on? Where's the proof? True, there are some flaws contained therein, but I present the Bible itself as evidence. Not as unarguable proof, mind you, but these are very wise words from (as some may refer to them) "deluded zealots." Such a large manifestation of testimony and lessons based on the fact that there is indeed a God should not be overlooked. As I said, that is not solid proof, but rather another mode of thinking. Assuredly, many of the statements in the book have been argued and disproven when taken literally, but I still think it contains more truth than many wish to admit.
