Well yes and no! And, any article that quotes itself as a reference is always a concern.
And you really think he has an open mind to read about real science? :sigh:If you want an account of the development of the science of evolutionary biology and the key scientists involved, I recommend The Violinist's Thumb. It includes stories of scientists that had taken wrong turns or engaged in what we may consider today as unethical experiments. The book doesn't not have a religious bias (other than some common cultural exclamations for effect), so it may not be available at your bookstore.
Yeah, as with the eye developing repeatedly, independently--likely so.
Still waiting on the sharks with lasers thing.
That requires unnatural selection and Dr. Evilopcorn:
Or duct tape.

None of us are as open minded as we like to think we are, and anytime someone doesn't want to listen to what we think is correct, we label them as being close minded.And you really think he has an open mind to read about real science? :sigh:
Doctor Evil is very happy.Well its true...I found pictures on the internet...and everything on the internet has to be true
TOLD YA!!!!!
Id like to think so. Im pretty fantastic. I once tried to get a rock into space by taping a candle to it and throwing it at the sky! I called it, the Arm Strong. ...Imma leave the thread now.Ah yes! You are wise in the ways of modern science.

I'll say what I said over on the Sodom and Gomorah thread: this burst of posts about evolution, Noah's Arc, Sodom and Gomorah, etc. are really efforts at evangelization. They're not very effective efforts because they never get past argument over the validity of the science or archaological methods used to make the points in the various videos.
Attacking people's belief in evolution in an ineffective way of getting them to listen to what you have to say about Jesus. Continuing to try to prove historicity of the OT is also an ineffective way of getting them to listen to what you have to say about Jesus. Even if you can prove the existence of Ur, Sodom and Gomorah, the great flood, etc. you still don't have a compelling case for Christianity, or even Judaism; you simply proved that the various authors wrote about locals that were known to them when they wrote the naratives that would eventually become the Bible.
Also, much of the evangelization efforts that I have seen start from the premise that man is fallen and doomed to eternal damnation without Jesus, something that early church fathers weren't even in agreement about. Competing views on the nature of man and salvation all had their basis in the Bible as well, and even the Catholic Church, whose doctrine does not require faith in Jesus for salvation, cites scripture for each and every doctrine that they have.
Jesus spoke a very powerful and compelling message. And it was a near universal message. Be loving to your family, friends, neighbors (regardless of their particular faith), and even your enemies, be honest, don't invest your life into the persuit of wealth, and do charitable works and make the world around you a better place. Even the opening of the Gospel of John states that God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. Paul states that God is not willing that any should perish. This is fairly incongruent with the portrayal of God in the OT, incidentally, and completely unrelated to which creation account one holds to.

Which brings me back to why I don't believe that there is any danger to the theory of evolution. If someone holds it up and says, "See, there is no god," then they're simply being provocative.Very well put. In theory, science cannot disprove the existance of God. At most it provides a tested theory as to God's process of creation, assuming you believe in God. I fail to understand how this threatens some peoples' core belief in God.
It is easy to see how it threatens somone who's core belief is heavily invested in a particular "story" of faith rather than the faith itself.
