Hume also said,
"A miracle is a violation of the laws of nature ... When any one tells me, that he saw a dead man restored to life, I immediately consider with myself, whether it be more probable, that this person should either deceive or be deceived, or that the fact, which he relates, should really have happened."

That's just stupid. I can see the problem though. To say that some animal have adapted an
ability is too misleading when it sweeps through the mind of a literalist numbnut. It's
almost funny, but so sad to see mind capital so wasted.

So you are saying we must NOT take evolution as literal, but as figurative or metaphorical? That seems to be a trick too me.

Although it's been pointed out numerous times already, and I doubt you will listen this time but here we go, evolution does not belong solely to atheists. There are countless people of differing faiths all round the world who also accept the evidence for evolution. I know you like to exist in this black and white world, but please, for once, pull your head out your obese ass and try and see the world for as it is. 😏

What? Evolution too sacred to be disbunked by a YouTube video ?
Not so. Devastating. The liberal bent in me felt sorry for the underdog - Evolution

No, I'm saying that the figurative speech used to explain the end result is not to be taken
literally. That is, a fish didn't evolve limbs as an adaptation for the sole purpose of walking
onto dry land, rather limbs evolved over countless generations and proved useful for
climbing out of the water. I'm sure even you can see the difference.

They are only accepting what you guys have hijacked and claimed to be part of evolution. It is that part that some now call microevolution instead of variations in species.

That makes no difference how many purposes or uses resulted, it all boils down to being represented by your evolutionists friends in that video. If they did not want it to appear that way then they could have changed it.
