Seems like a contradiction to me.
So-called science also claimed to know all the dust elements that the human body is made of and I saw a video in which an expert went around with a science news reporter and bought bags of fetilizer, charcoal, and the other things containing all the elements they needed to make a human for around $100 or so. But they still could not make a human. But that does not prove God could not have done it.
Evolution and Creation are both religious beliefs, because we must believe by blind faith that one or the other happened. There is no more evidence for evolution than there is for creation.

Come on Hinds, that is crazy talk, seriously.
Evolution is not a religious belief, although i readily accept that those who follow a religion may find evolution as compatible to their faith and incorporate it into it.
And there is bucket loads of evidence for evolution. You just refuse to listen to it.

bucket loads you say? what is the actual evidence that we have evolved from apes as has been alleged? the actual physical evidence? can you tell us? how many buckets would it fill?

Start a new thread for this. The point of this thread was to discuss the hypocrisy of Christians who expect atheists to answer their point and counter-point, yet refuse to do the same when they are asked to do so.
I think we have enough evidence that atheists are more than willing to answer even the dumbest questions posed by atheists. Let that be last thing everyone takes away from this thread.

You are of course aware that Christians are counseled to shun speech which they deem to be foolish?

Some of the best evidence would fit on the point of a pin whilst also measuring about 1.8m.
Its called DNA.

Smart guy: Decades of detailed, peer-reviewed genetic research coincides with evolutionary discoveries that point to shared ancestry with apes
Dumb guy: I can't argue with that. You must be foolish.
you keep parroting the same line that other atheists do as if it has some efficacy beyond that which you wish to endow it with, you think that by reading from the same recipe book you are somehow smarter than all the other people reading from a different recipe book. Its really quite tedious to be honest. In fact one wonders just how you measure intelligence, perhaps you can tell us?
Its not an excuse, you cannot after all stop and kick every dog that barks at you, can you?
Atheism, as a negative worldview, cannot be validated to be true, nor can it account for rationality since its materialistic perspective cannot bridge the gap between absolute, conceptual realities (i.e., logical absolutes on which reason is based) and the principle of materialism--that all things in the universe can be understood in terms of motion, matter, chemical reactions, etc. Again, atheism can't be verified as being true since it is a position of negativity. A denial of the existence of something is almost always impossible to validate.
Atheists don't have a logical or reasonable answer. 😏

You don't make any sense to me now. Having spent I don't know how many posts disproving RJHinds' claims about junk DNA, I really lack the energy to go another round with you. I'm exhausted, and something tells me you won't give me an honest read anyway.
