Again, you're wrong. Of course an activity can be the object of a verb.You can't apply a verb, this is my point. You don't apply RATIONALIZING. You apply a noun, rationale. Just accept that your writing sucks and move on.
Good grief! Okay, let us back up a bit because you are so lost this is getting us no where. I am not talking about species of organisms, I am talking about a reducing environment. There are reactive chemical species swirling around. Sometimes your lack of understanding is astonishing Reducing atmosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Make your questions clear and precise. We were speaking of species when you put your two cents in.
I posted an article the other day,it was from someone from your side of the argument that said 99.9% of all species have gone extinct.Do you people agree on anything ?
Wow! #13 that I have seen where you reply to a post with something that has nothing to do with the post at all. Reducing environments and reactive species are terms that you learn early in a biology degree, though since I am sure you never got one, I am not surprised to find your knowledge nonexistent as usual.
I helped my daughter's class do the Dodd experiment, they just finished it last year. With isolation and a different food source middle school students can witness speciation at work. The funny thing is it is easy and always works, it does not always take the same amount of generations though. Evidence for speciation at the bottom of the page
Do you understand the difference between micro-adaptations and macro-evolution.
That is no different then what happens with dogs and horses.
They are still Iguanas.
It's no different then what darwin saw with the galapagos finches. They will die out and what they were will return.
That is something your side ignores. The finches when drought was present the short beak was dying out,but what when the drought was over ? that's right the short beaked finch made a strong come back.
Look, you do not know what you are talking about, you make up invalid definitions for words and try to disprove them on that basis, which is called lying. You either can't read or refuse to read anything but nonsense. You get almost everything you say wrong. the experiment was not about iguanas, it was about fruit flies and how you can with a little isolation and a different food source, get two groups that will no longer mate with the other which is the beginning of speciation and can be witnessed by everyone. That, not whatever nonsense you make up in your head, is macroevolution. The finch thing is also wrong because it was about more than beaks, it was about the finches not being able to breed with the original population anymore, which was actually not even known in Darwin's time.
Upon what fact of objective reality and/or valid logic do you base this?
The bible can be both fact and theory,mostly fact though.
Mostly fact? Judging by some of the 'facts' it presents, I'd say no.
Debunking evolution? What a laugh!Yet it remains entirely verifiable as real by evidence and valid logic in a way that the reality of your Creator persistently resists being verified. Why do you suppose that is?
You construct our Creator from even less. Upon what basis can you honestly demand He is not even more imaginary?
Your application of Zeno's paradox to rationalize this claim of yours fails to refute the abundant presence of transitional fossils in the fossil record.
It has the foundation of your imaginary friend entirely whupped though.
It's not as big a problem for evolution, as the reliance creationists have on logical fallacy to propose their assertions regarding "creation." And your repeated application of Zeno's paradox to rationalize this repeated claim of yours fails to refute the abundant presence of transitional fossils in the fossil record.
But evidence that they have differentiated through the accumulation of adaptive traits is evidence of macro-evolution.
Debunking evolution.
Debunking Evolution - problems, errors, and lies of evolution exposed as false and wrong
Did you write that yourself? Because it's exactly wrong in every single way we've been proving you wrong; and wrong for the exact same misrepresentations of evolutionary theory, errors of fact, and logically fallacious reasoning we've been pointing out you've been applying all along.
Why don't you get a little intellectual integrity and level up?
What we have here folks, is an unambiguous example of the stolid denial of verifiable reality that characterizes faith. You see, here our little cupcake holds a baseless preconception about reality, and with the absolute, unassailable, arrogant, and sanctimonious certainty of faith, she refuses to acknowledge that she actually found "rationalizing" in a dictionary; she linked to it, ignored her incorrect notion of the term's primary meaning, and then declared it wasn't to be found.In other words, you don't APPLY a VERB.
Interestingly, I can't even find the word "rationalizing" in the dictionary.
Rationalize - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionaryra·tio·nal·ize verbThe lesson to be learned here, is that those who apply faith are correct only by accident; and even when unambiguously wrong, they will deny verifiable reality--the strength of that denial being the strength of their faith.

I think I'll take on some more of those 'science facts' from the Bible.
21.
Light can be divided (Job 38:24). Sir Isaac Newton studied light and discovered that white light is made of seven colors, which can be parted and then recombined. Science confirmed this four centuries ago God declared this four millennia ago!
This is one of those passages from the Bible that get stretched to mean a modern scientific fact. This passage literally just asks which way is light parted? It's entirely mum on any sort of recombination, or that color even comes from different wavelengths of light. To be honest, I'm not sure where it's getting the "parting" from, or really even the combining. The recombining looks like the authors of this piece stretching the meaning of a single poetic line to mean whole swathes of scientific theory.
22.
Ocean currents anticipated (Psalm 8:8). Three thousand years ago the Bible described the paths of the seas. In the 19th century Matthew Maury the father of oceanography after reading Psalm 8, researched and discovered ocean currents that follow specific paths through the seas! Utilizing Maurys data, marine navigators have since reduced by many days the time required to traverse the seas.
Sailors in antiquity had knowledge of coastal currents, but obviously not ones from the open ocean. This one isn't that valid either, I'm afraid.
Unprotected sexual promiscuity is dangerous to your health. It didn't take the Bible for people to realize venereal diseases exist. The rest of this is moralizing against homosexuality and for monogamy. It doesn't take a genius to realize if you sleep with the same person, you chances of catching STDs go down.
This is one of those 'facts' which actually aren't valid explanations. It doesn't actually give a reason except 'God did it,' which is a fallacy filled 'God in the gaps' argument
Just because we don't know something, doesn't mean you can attribute to a god. There are lots of things we didn't know before, that we do know. I guess that makes a god an ever-receding pocket of ignorance.
Also, I dunno if we actually do know what the penis and vagina evolved at the same time. The above still applies regardless.
This one is funny to claim credit for. Considering the translation quote says incalculable, and that it stands to reason that there is a finite number of stars (there is, the universe also has a finite mass, i.e., an actual weight), you can't give credit for something that will ultimately proved wrong.
I'd also like to know where it gets the 5,000 stars visible bit. The ancients also witnessed one or two supernovas, and I can't find anything about how many they thought there were in the universe.
So it contradicts itself! First in claims it's impossible to count all the stars, and now it twists the passage to say it can! Not to mention the exact passage it quotes doesn't actually automatically mean finite, it could be easily be infinite based on Christian claims of what God can do.
This is the third time it's gone on about stars. See above for an answer.
False claims. Take a look what Christians did when they ran the planet. Go on. I'll wait. Take a look on the priests who are morally depraved because they touch little boys. "People of God" can be morally depraved as anyone else. Hell, the Scandivian countries are fairly atheistic, yet they seem to be doing just find in terms of happiness and law and order.
It isn't possible for the Flood to have happened, but mass extinction events do. The reasons its impossible are numerous. The Ark can't have possibly held every species. There isn't enough water to flood the earth completely. It isn't possible to repopulate most species from simply two members of it.
Isn't it funny that now you wish you use fossil evidence, but only when its convenient for you?
Fossils aren't from the flood. See above.
This is a massive stretch to say it predicts that. Those passages explicitly state how he separates the ocean from the land. It's entirely mum on anything concerning one super continent or plate tectonics.
Again, the Flood didn't happen. So there's no pointing arguing like it did.
THE FLOOD DID NOT HAPPEN. I stated way it's impossible above. Two, it's stretching the meaning of Bible passages again. Those passages only talk about ice and cold in general. There is no mention of a world wide ice age. Saying it said anything about the ice age is stretching the truth considerably.
This is still open to debate at where life starts. We still haven't decided. Taking a stand on an issue like that does not equal science fact.
It just says God makes us. It doesn't say anything about embryonic development. In fact saying God does it makes it false, we know how fetus' develop in the womb. Also, the womb was not unknown to ancient peoples either, so saying this knowledge comes solely from the Bible is wrong.
That's not what that passages means at all. It just says God already knows who a person is and what their actions are before they are born. Which is pretty in line with Christian teaching (predestination anyone?).
To say it means DNA is to completely miss what that passage actually means.
This is stretching it, almost certainly. Y-chromosomal Adam is simply the most recent common ancestor of all this. He wasn't actually Adam, and only got named that because of the Bible and people's preference for assigning pop culture to something like that. He didn't even live at the same time as mitochondrial Eve.
Also, don't people who object to evolution object to the fact of common descent from a gene pool? Didn't you say we were all created and not from a "slime mold?" Way to contradict yourself.
Of course evolution wouldn't teach that, that's the field of anthropology and linguistics. I'm not sure why we should expect people isolated from each other to have the same language, that's actually quite retarded to suggest, and poor evidence that that is evidence of the tower of Babel.
39.
Origin of the different races explained (Genesis 11). As Noahs descendants migrated around the world after Babel, each language group developed distinct features based on environment and genetic variation. Those with a genetic makeup suitable to their new environment survived to reproduce. Over time, certain traits (such as dark skin color for those closer to the equator) dominated. Genesis alone offers a reasonable answer to the origin of the races and languages.
So, it accepts concepts from evolution, but only when it's convenient? What hypocrites.
40.
God has given us the leaves of the trees as medicine (Ezekiel 47:12; Revelation 22:2). Ancient cultures utilized many herbal remedies. Today, modern medicine has rediscovered what the Bible has said all along there are healing compounds found in plants.
Every ancient culture wasn't one based around the Judeo-Christian god. So the point is invalid by its own argument, the Bible has had nothing to do with.
These next twenty were more or less the same as the first. It involved shoveling scientific theory into whatever passage could fit the theory, stretching the meaning of passages beyond belief, and often times attributing to the Bible what is actually the credit of other non-Jewish societies. I'm surprised it wishes to use evolutionary concepts, but doesn't think evolution exists.
I think I'll take on some more of those 'science facts' from the Bible.

Don't attack something you clearly don't understand.
If you wanted them to write it exactly like we would today 3,500 years ago. I'm sorry to disappoint you but all of your atttacks are baseless and from your typical atheist websites.
I have responded to your baseless attacks on the bible in the past and it can be shown your understanding of the scriptures is rather poor.
I think you and drock spend too much time at the same sites as well as the mythical god loki.
Do you understand the difference between micro-adaptations and macro-evolution.
That is no different then what happens with dogs and horses.
They are still Iguanas.
It's no different then what darwin saw with the galapagos finches. They will die out and what they were will return.

The finch thing is also wrong because it was about more than beaks, it was about the finches not being able to breed with the original population anymore, which was actually not even known in Darwin's time.
No you have been brainwashed to believe micro-evolution is macro-evolution or leads to it with no evidence to believe it. Don't call me a liar you moron,i have had enough of someone questioning my honesty.
Make your questions clear and precise. We were speaking of species when you put your two cents in.

At this point ,i don't really know what we were talking about because of your response.
The enviornment does affect survival but no one knows how many organisms that have ever existed they are just guessing,that is the inference we get from the likes of you.
