This absurd falsity found in Christianity is for foolish and dishonest people.
Now go tell it all to divegeester. He will probably be glad to hear your propaganda. I am not interest in what you said in the last two paragraphs.

Originally posted by DasaI do not worship chess, it is only a game that I use as a form of entertainment. And anyway the way we play chess today is somewhat different from ancient times.

Do you have any references to support that claim?
So unless you accept the Vedas as spiritual authority then references are useless to you and with respect I shall not waste my time.

Dasa has no references from the vedas that support such a claim.

Originally posted by DasaSo, I take it you have nothing, since your response is nothing but dishonest evasion. I would not have to accept the Vedas as a spiritual authority for you to be able to present a reference, and the question I asked wasn't a 'spiritual matter' at all. You claimed chess has its origin in the Vedas. All you need to do is quote a relevant verse from the Vedas that mentions chess or its ancestor.

Did you understand my answers to your evolution questions in the OP? Do you have any further questions?

So you ring me up and ask me how to spell hippopotamus..........
But I only have a Websters Dictionary and ask you if you accept the authority of that dictionary.
You say YES..
So then I Spend my time to find the word in the dictionary and I then tell you the spelling .......confidante that you will accept the spelling without question.
Now.............I need you to accept the authority of the Vedas before I waste my time in finding the reference including verse and sentence and page number etc,................which is not an easy thing to do since I do not have the specific literature in my possession.
Make Note: I know that you do not accept Vedic Authority.........and that you never will.

Evolution happens in the presence of life - by definition. Evolution would actually have started before what we typically call 'life' today. All evolution requires is self replication and variation - which happens in chemical structures smaller than what we define as 'life'. Today, we can see genes and virus' evolving even though we do not typically call ...[text shortened]... or desires. Your question is like asking: how does gravity know to keep your feet on the ground?

No, I am not digging my own grave. And no, I am neither speculating nor fabricating. Evolution is science not religion and you can actually learn about it and understand it for yourself if you wish. You do not need to depend on anyone else's authority, nor will anyone demand that you believe in their authority before they tell you anything. The same applies to dictionaries. You can look up a word in a dictionary for yourself. You do not need to believe in its authority in order to look it up.

Yes.

Can you program a computer to calculate how many monkeys randomly typing one letter per second on typewriters it would take to type out the DNA instruction code for every different kind of animal and plant known to man given the monkeys have a million years to do it? Provide us with the answer then present your program to us here, so we can verify it.
Here is a reference to get you started:

Once that is done it should be simple to show that the program could be produced without your intelligence or the monkeys. This should make the atheists very happy.
