Why do people deny evolution?

As I have written before, I have no religious bone in my body,
It's ok you try to defend your religion, but alas, evolution is really a hoax.
and, contrary to what you write, I have studied both sides.

So where is your math then?

Because youll just waste several pages in the belief that youre on to something. Im just trying to save you two the breath.
Easter Bunnies Frank, go argue Easter Bunnies.

Frank Apisa replied: What you wrote IMPLIES that it may not have also....something that ought be kept in mind.

Yes, that's why I said it "may have happened", I never claimed it as a fact..
As open-minded individuals we're quite free to fearlessly speculate on anything we want in order to try to push the envelope of human understanding, although there might be a "speculation sound barrier" that we'll always have difficulty penetrating-
Jesus said- "You hardly believe me when I tell you earthly things,so how would you believe me if I told you heavenly things?" (John 3:12)

But earlier you said: "I don't think any modern Christian denies evolution for the simple reason God wrote the 'Evolution/Creation Program' himself, then hit the 'Run' key."

That was the comment to which I referred.

I suspect it is just that you cannot grow up, FM.

You are the one dealing with Easter Bunnies...not I.

And I seriously doubt that you are trying to save me any trouble. But I appreciate the opening you've given me.

Thanx.

Soon, I predict, you shall be writing in pink or lavender along with boldening.

I sure wish you would learn to use the quote function.

Really!

Seems like you search twaddle out; heap scorn on it; and try to use it to make yourself feel superior.

If you cannot see the difference between asserting a thing IS...and a comment indicating that it MAY BE...I doubt I could explain it to you.

Try thinking about it for a while!

@Frank Apisa,

There is one thing we can be sure of. Apisa will use bolding forever because he has taken a position on it. I wrote my post about the merits of bolding precisely to fix it to him because after that there was no way to back off without admitting it was a silly idea from the start.

Unless he has me on Ignore which he wouldn't admit anyway. He's up a gum tree.

They have no desire to know anything.

"Evolution" is whatever actually happened that lead us to where we are now.

We may know most of the process...or we may be kidding ourselves and know just the tip of this particular iceberg.

But whether the process (and existence itself) had a start with a single creating entity or not...is still in question.

The theists who insist there has to be a GOD...are absurd in such an illogical assertion.

The atheists who regularly mock them and insist that the very notion of a GOD is ridiculous and impossible...are every bit as absurd in such an illogical assertion.

But it is fun watching the two sides of that particular coin as it is being flipped.

@Frank Apisa,

Apisa seems to have got the idea that he has a monopoly on having fun and that having fun is a mark of superiority. The Joker was having fun. So was Dracula.

I know they are fictional but I don't wish to draw attention to real characters of a similar nature.

One might wonder at the gigantic efforts to assume the burdens of office if they were not fun.

That's pretty lowbrow fm. In a number of ways. Is your hobby crass-stitch?

But "anything", ed, only comprises that which you have allowed yourself to know and nothing of that which you have taken pains to avoid knowing.

That was a thread I started. It's still out there, and it has yet to be demonstrated to be wrong.

@rosborne979,

Link it ros. The anti-evolution brigade might contain a few who GW hasn't met yet. And the pro-evolution brigade don't understand evolution either.

The human curiosity is not satisfied with the what, where and when. Description is not explanation. Perhaps you should engineer it being so in one of those re-training centres fm envisaged.

As it is the why, how and whence is going to continue exercising the curiosity.

How are complex social organisations to be managed on evolutionary principles alone?
