String, thread. All the same.

(yeah, well, I wasn't specific. I meant the series of posts following JF's last post, not the whole thread. Not that the whole thread isn't worth reading. But I wish JF would give some serious thought to the last series of posts. )

There are no links of plant to animal, fish to amphibian, amphibian to reptile, reptile to birds and mammals. There are no links whatsoever. I am still waiting for an answer to this or are we just going to skip over it?

I think he's talking about hyperlinks.

Keep looking, jee-free, you'll find them.

It's you.
The sex ratio of suicide bombers is skewed heavily towards the male side.
So if you're a suicide bomber then you get seventy two male virgin suicide bombers as your reward.

I seem to have read somewhere that it was a bad translation and it's actually 72 clear figs, currants or some sort of grape.

It may be apocryphal but so funny if a guy blows himself up to get rewarded with a handful of interesting fruit.:D

To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us more than how life itself first originated; but I may remark that several facts make me suspect that any sensitive nerve may be rendered sensitive to light, and likewise to those coarser vibrations of the air which produce sound.

You see Jesus_Freak, if you actually took the time to read the entire text rather than just selectively pulling out half of a paragraph because you think it gives credit to your childish beliefs then you might stand a little more chance of being taken seriously here. Creationists always uses that line from The Origin of Species and ,as
Wavicle has done here, its very easy to sink their ship.

I wonder, what other lame arguments are you going to come out with?

From what I have read woman don't go to heaven in the Moslem faith, but I could be wrong......:confused:
 
I think at this point we're beating a dead horse. We need to stop posting new material and let "Jesus Freak" address the 20 or so pages of past material he hasn't addressed and let's go from there. Otherwise we're getting nowhere.
 
Is it an evolutionary miracle that that give or take a few percentage points humans reproduce at a 50% male to female ratio. How does evolution know to do something like this? Let me guess over a long period of time it figured it out for its self?

Evolution doesn't "figure" anything out. It does not have an intelligence. It is a combition of factors. But breifly, it's the enviroment that the animal finds itself in that determines how an animal will behave and look like. Each organism evolves according to it's enviroment, so if having 50% male and female offspring is the best way for that species to surive in a particule enviroment, then that's how it's going to happen

It is a process of 'nature selection' that has resulted in this occurrance in humans. Not all animals reproduce at the 50% ratio. Bees for example have evolved to be mostly female.

There will be other people on this forum who can explain the genetics involved a lot better then I can

But you have noticed that people are geting taller and living longer (and don't start the whole noah lived for 600 years stuff - that ain't science
