Hmm you couldn't be more wrong. There's ton of proof of evolution. Use google...

Or just read the link I gave lol

Evolution is a faith, you have to believe in it, it can not be proved. There is no evidence at all of evolution, most of what we are made to believe is based on elaborate assumption. I chose to believe in a loving God and Creator, you chose otherwise...

Projection much ? Considering your hero's stamen about biblical glasses and ignoring all evidence.

The Evolutionist basically believe in something that only to a very small extent can explained by science but has giant holes in the theory and can never be proved either.

There's probably billions of examples of evolution, but just for the sake of choosing the easiest one, Google "evolution of birds in Hawaii" or "evolution of animals in Galapagos"....

What the actual eff?! You're kidding, right? We have *plenty* of evidence to support evolution. It in fact, can and has been proven. Much of out modern day medicine would not exist without it. How do you explain strains of bacteria becoming resistant to medication?

 

Worse, the theory of evolution is tied to other scientific theories! How do you explain *million years old* fossils? How do you explain earthquakes? How do you explain evidence to support that Earth's continents have moved position since being created billions of years ago? How do you explain evidence to support climate change? How do you explain that when we gaze up into the sky, we don't see a "god" creating new stars, new planets, and eventually new life, but gravity, accretion, fusion, etc.... All these things tie into and support evolution. Nothing stays the same, ever. Nothing.

I have seen those before.  Not sure why your showing that.  You must be getting something from that I am not.  Like I said theres no doubt that things evolve.  But nothing about evolution can explain "how we got here" with any kind of proof.  I am just saying you cant call one side an idiot for believing in something that your side cant prove either.

Nothing can *prove* how we got here, no. But we can look elsewhere for clues on how it may have happened. Astronomy is a very big player in that. When we look to the skies with Hubble, we can see other solar systems being created... not by a god, but by gravity bounding material together, those materials eventually accrete into a star, planets, and eventually other matter - for example, comets, which deliver water and other organic compounds to these newly formed planets, which then can plant the seeds of life. Search for "panspermia".

While the scientists don't 100% agree on how life started on earth, they all agree that we evolved from monkeys and that the earth is much more than 6 thousand years old. Those two should be enough to prove any religious goer wrong. The rest is just bonus.

That's because it doesn't address that question and never attempts to.

For deliberately ignoring evidence we can. They proudly proclaim their rejection of any evidence that contradicts the creation modal.

Correction. .No scientists claim we evolved from monkeys, and never have.  Evidence shows that humans AND monkeys (and apes) all evolved from the same common ancestor, which was pre-primate.  It was not a monkey.

As is typical of theists who don't know what they're talking about, you're confusing evolution with abiogenesis.  Evolution is nothing more than the mechanism by which organisms change over time, usually into more complex organisms.  Abiogenesis is the field of study that tries to understand how life itself actually started.

 

If you're going to try to refute something, it generally helps to educate yourself on the topic. Why do you think atheists as so good at argument against their counterparts?

Well really that is stretching it a tad there Dot.  Plate tectonics has nothing to do with the Theories of Evolution and Survival of the Fittest.  They were two different theories. 1 explained the mechanism  evolution, and the second in how those traits passed on.

 

If you want to tie everything together without using String Theory,  Thermodynamic is a much better discipline to use than Evolution.

** Citation needed.

 

I class Dark Matter / Energy / Force, and the big bang theory under the iffy science category. It's basically all theoretical. Some might argue that DM is a mathematical fudge to account for the mysterious force called gravity (we don't even know what creates / causes it). The problem is that people treat it as real science, when it's really not. Our current models of gravitation and the universe don't work, so physicists are adopting the climate science technique of changing the data, and inventing imaginary forces.

Not so much, I don't think. With plate tectonics, comes climate change. For example, Antarctica wasn't always under ice, and Manhattan wasn't always temperate. It used to be a desert, at one point in time, etc...

But thermodynamics can account for all of the energy exchanges that had to happen during each of those events, and the overarching conversion/conservation of Energy.

While Evolution (the theory of) certainly doesn't explain the actual start of life, it does make a lot of sense when you take a look around at all the variety. Not only that, but on microscopic level, we can actually see the changes in generations of bacteria and viruses. That's pretty compelling evidence for the theory.

 

I don't see any evidence provided by religion or Ham, only a book written and revised by men over hundreds of years. It doesn't explain anything. It only alludes to a supernatural being who decided to create everything on a whim. Hardly compelling is it?

 

And if there is such a loving God and Creator, why would he create deadly viruses, bacteria, parasites, natural disasters, or even man himself? After all, man is the biggest killer of life and habitat that has ever existed. Animals never sinned as Ham frequently likes to say man did, yet they're still punished by all those things.

There is plenty of evidence for evolution, choosing not to believe in it does not make the evidence just disappear. But if you want to claim that evidence doesn't exists, by all means disprove the evidence you claim doesn't exist.  FYI creation and evolution are two entirely different topics.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
