Oh, and he should be a botanist.


[/ QUOTE ] Do you have a source for any of this

The twenty one hundreds will be the century of the biological scientists, botany will be an excellent choice.

What career is best for my son?

Does anyone know where my daughter's swim goggles are? She says she doesn't remember, and I didn't see where she put them.

In the side-panel on the passenger's side door in the minivan. 98% certainty.

Do you have a source for any of this? I've worked through it and my results are that they are 63% in the laundry pile, 28% the passenger sidedoor, and 19% left behind at the swimming pool. Your son should be a radiologist or wrestler, fwiw.

OMG @ 110% chance of finding the goggles.

"Does anyone know where my daughter's swim goggles are? She says she doesn't remember, and I didn't see where she put them."

Search random coordinates of the universe.

Not Ready, "For another view by real Christian scientists go to reasons.org.

I'm very skeptical of evolution, especially human, and this site presents good scientific arguments against."

I'll try that eventually too. Something about some of the evolution theory doesn't sit well with me right now, either. But I haven't the knowledge yet to express it properly.

Is there direct sequential fossil links from lower primates to humans? If so, what % certainty?



Piers,"
Don’t know, I would give approximately 100%"

Alot here seem to be giving this high certainty level. Using Zeno's answer from my other question:

In 5000 years of human recorded history, has any species given birth to a different species?

Are there any present day living "transitional forms"?


Thanks everybody again. Now I've got some studying to do.

[siegfriedandroy]

surprising he would give 100. lol. we got the transitional issue down. never mind all the contrary [censored]. lol dont matter

First, do you understand the concept that 'transitional forms' is a nonsense term, and that any transitional form that we happened to find would simply create a demand for TWO new transitional forms? This is the 'missing link' fallacy.

Physics models the way the universe changes, a model does not change that which it models.

I think alot more things then a know how to say. What I meant was, given the present known laws of nature, do we have any reason to think they were different in the past, or might be different at some time in the future?


"I guess they might change, never thought much of the laws of thermodynamics?"

Guess Im a nerd but I've thought about them alot. My uncle taught me over and over to look for what we know for sure and see what that tells us about we don't know.

I assure you, you aren't pissing everyone off. Most of us enjoy threads where the poster is actually, genuinely interested in understanding and learning new things. In my case, this is especially true when the thread is about evolution, because I think I have a fairly solid understanding of the concepts, and I find the topic to be incredibly fascinating. I never mind talking about it or discussing it.

However, we get burned a lot on here by trolls and dishonest people who are just looking to bash science or prop up their own misinformed understanding. So, we are very cautious and leery.

I'm more than willing to answer your questions, but the way this works is we start from the absolute basics. It makes no sense for me to show you Archaeopteryx if you don't really know what you want in a transitional form.
