I'm a little wary of how you might be using the term 'related' here, but we are actually related to all living things.

It's not philosophy. It's not folklore. It's not mystical or magical in any capacity. Biology 101. Every animal, including human animals branch off the same 'tree'.

Believe it or don't. Reality can't be voted on. Whether you do or do not believe, that is what science points to and until we have better, more or different or simply better information, techniques, technology or experimentation, that's how it stays.

And you know this personally because you've spent years in college studying science and doing your own experiments, or are you taking upon faith what evolutionists are telling you?

Faith, noun:  firm belief in something for which there is no proof
--------------------------------------

Evolutionists is a nonexistant group. I believe in the theory of gravity and I would not have someone call me a gravitist or whatever silly term idiots use to create divisiveness, like evolutionist or Darwinist.
----------------------------------------

We have proof in science of evolution. You'd see it if you only looked. Faith is actually counterintuitive here since we have a bounty of proof. Long college years are equally unnecessary to read up on the subject or at the very least watch a handful of videos to get a layman's grasp of it. Ignoring facts doesn't change them or make them go away either.

So you helped them find this proof did you?

All the scientists in the world can't make up for the fact you can't get a living organism out of a big bang.

Grow up.

The big bang wasn't an explosion, and has nothing to do with evolution.

First you had a big explosion that came out of nowhere then you got this little one cell that came out of nowhere that eventually had kids and boom you got a whole world full of plants, animals, atmosphere, and the sun and earth just happen to be the exact distance from each other to provide warmth without burning us to crisp ,and on and on. It just ain't believable. If there is one thing I know and that's science fiction and evolution is science fiction. I ought to know I been reading sci-fi all my life.

Nope- The 'Big Bang' describes an expansion, not an explosion. It wasn't out of nowhere, and they're still working on exactly where the singularity came from. Sorry if it's not figured out to your satisfaction yet.

Quote:

Abiogenesis involved numerous singular cells, not all life starting from one magic cell.

Quote:

We're definitely lucky. The exact odds you're looking for to explain how things are is 1:1 though-it happened.

Quote:

Neither is what's offered in the Bible, yet you believe this, and that is entirely your right to do so. Comparing evidence for both though, science wins hands down.

Okay but where did those numerous cells come from?

Expansion of what. Can't have an expansion of absolutely nothing.

Not a big believer in luck. Computers never form out of luck. Cars never pop into existence out of luck.

I notice you talk more about there being evidence than actually presenting any evidence. Creation itself is evidence of a designer. There's too much logic and order in it to be accidental. To say there is no designer of the universe is crazier than saying there is no designer for the keyboard I'm typing on.

Happy Thanksgiving pak hope you had a giant turkey.

Great question. Look here if you really want the answer as I'm ill equipped to answer this one.

The material that made up our universe inside the singularity.

Try and keep to one conversation at a time. You were talking odds of our perfect situation here. That was what I responded to, not things magically occurring, like a deity poofing something out of thin air on a whim.

Quote:

I post vids, quote articles and make statements. Not my fault you ignore them. Unless you wanted me to create a galaxy myself or make creatures evolve where you can see the process with the naked eye, I'm not sure what more evidence I'm supposed to provide.

Quote:

No, it's really not.

Quote:

Ignoring how much chaos and disorder there really is in nature and cosmology, you're back at discussing odds again. 1:1, we made it.

Quote:

There may be a designer, there may be several. You might be the loony one for believing you know it was only one, you know which one, and you know how.

Quote:

Have a happy day yourself also. I have turkey almost every time I visit here. Today's not special for that.

I'm too full of Thanksgiving cheer to argue with you today. Maybe I'll thinks of something tomorrow. Although I will be busy shopping a little bit and going to the gym for the first part of the day.

Thought of a question though. Don't it seem kind of weird to never feel like you can ask God for help with stuff? Seems like just a natural thing to do especially when things get rough.

When it seems you have nobody to turn to for help, you learn to rely on yourself, after double checking your speed dial. As a conservative you can surely appreciate 'pulling yourself up by the bootstraps'? Even for you I would say another old chestnut to the same effect; 'God helps those who help themselves'.

I believe in relying on God vs the government and I do believe God blesses those that work hard. He also gives us the strength to work. The very air we breathe is a gift from God.
