The History of Human Evolution in Four Minutes!
title says it all amigos!
this is considered by a lot of us Biologists to be one of the best and most illustrative and accurate portrayal videos on Evolution. Don't forget to turn on the audio!
Now we are suppose to believe that a bigoted person (such as yourself), who would actually smear feces on Christian literature in a Church, posseses the slightest bit of intellect where one could have an enlightened discussion?
You have got to be kidding! Spare us all your biased bigoted information.
Did you watch the video? You really should, you could learn something.
And what do my personal character flaws (yes, I admit I have some) have to do about my Science knowledge? Especially my Biology knowledge? Besides, the video is NOT produced by me, but is rather highly regarded in Biological and Anthropological circles as being accurate and highly illustrative in showing the process of Human Evolution.
You're an ass. You are a hypocrite. Why? Because, if one of us atheists speaks of some wacko priest or televangelist who gets caught in a motel room with a tranny, you say, "Oh! You cannot use that for an argument against religion or god, since he is only a man! And not indicative of Religion!"
So...I say those same words to you now, about me and my past actions compared to the quality of Science. And the video. You defend a tranny loving priest or whatever but now tell me that Science can know nothing because I committed some past act you found unsavory.
So you had the balls to admit smearing feces on Christian literature? I call it having the dysfunction of hate towards Chrstians to the point you could not even grasp how dysfunctional an act it was.
You are tryng to compare a sexual sin committed by some Christian to a person deiberately smearing feces on Christian literature?
You lack the rationality and open mindedness to be discussing ANY topic. Bigots don't process information in a rational way. They are consumed with their hate.
Your type of bigoted hatred toward Christians is no different than the hatred from Islamic terrorists. Though you would never kill Christians as do terrorists, you smear feces on their literature. It's the same type of fanatical dysfunction.
I wouldn't insult most Atheists by comparing them to you. Many Atheists do have respect for other's beliefs. Many Atheists do realize that NO ONE has all the answers to life. But you are so narcissistic that you truly know for sure without a doubt that only you have all the answers to life.
I admit as a Christian that I do not have all the answers to life but will hold on to what I believe to be true while having respect for those with different beliefs.
The people I get angry with are the bigots and Leftists who insult Christians, who try to take away our freedoms to dissagree, who have no respect for our beliefs.
The idiot speaks! I don't think I have ever seen more than one sentence from you in all the time I've been on this site. One might ask why an illiterate person would be on a debate site.
Oh I keep forgetting, you copy other's words because you are incapable of creating your own debates.
If those are the people you hate then you should like me far more than you seem to.
I am politically a Conservative Ind pendant.
I agree with much--but not quite all--of what the Tea Party has to say.
I agree that Government is far too big and powerful and has been stripping of us of our Freedoms since the passage of The Patriot Act.
I despise the Libtard Entitlement State. As well as their Chief Advocate, Hussein Obama.
And while I DO insult Christians from time to time, I usuallyonly do so when they intrude upon my Science with their antiquated and outdated rhetoric.
I am nowhere NEAR the Left.
I am also not a bigot, since when I hold a prejudice against somebody it is for good reason. I do not hate anybody, especially for no reasons. I DO despise much of what organized religion has done throughout history.
So just look at me as somebody who believes in one less god than you do! LOL
You despise much of what organized religion has done throughout history, yet you have no problem with the fact it is science that has created a weapon that can destroy the world.
We spend our lives trying to keep those WMD's out of the hands of terrorists and dictators.
I could argue that science has done as much harm as good for mankind.
I actually think the nuclear bomb has been more a peacekeeper to this point, but it could still destroy the world.
The funniest part is when the real life GEICO insurance company caveman is walking BUCK NAKED pretending to be a Neanderthal....he struts so seriously along in procession of evolution!!! This is a joke, right?
Where did the music come from? The music was there before the little swimmy thing? Where did the little swimmy thing come from? Was it dropped off by aliens, like something they caught fishing that wasn't good enough to eat, so they left it here? Or did the little swimmy things come from ancestors like amoeba, and where did they come from? Why does the story start in the middle and not in the beginning? And again, was the music there before the story began, or was it caused by the little swimmers?
https://youtu.be/VrrdCTbx3n8 Here's a link for the exact same story in a different format, but I really think your version is much funnier.
That last post is living proof of the old adage, 'We mock what we do not understand, or what scares us."
Sorry about that, sport. But it is what it is. Your ancestors were in that video I provided. If you find that distasteful (which you should not) than maybe you should just join a cult (religion is the same thing) and believe in a false sky god.
You believe life emerged out of non-living matter, intelligence is an illusion as it is only a product of chemical fizzes, and you believe some kind of monkey turned into your grandma. It calls for mockery as a method of waking you out of the hypnotic spell evil leaders have cast over you in order to make you not care about individuals including yourself. They have you brainwashed into loving death, and somehow you think it's good or it is good for you. Wake up man, or you will wake up in Hell and Dick Dawkins could care less because he thinks he is dirt the same as you.
Loving death? I guess you haven't read my other post on how I spoke of the beauty and sanctity abd live of life. Your type is often guilty of thinking we atheists cannot Revere and value life without worshipping sky gods.
Dawkins feels the same way. You should have read his book The Greatest Show on Earth to get a feel for his awe and wonder and reverance for life. For biology, which is, after all, the study of Life.
And if you think that evolutionists think a monkey turned into our grandmothers than you have a great deal to learn about our theory.
Ok, so tell me your view on death so I can understand you don't consider it to be your friend. Atheism by default denies objective value of the individual. The individual is worth anything only based on the way you look at the person or yourself. That is why you wouldn't have a problem with aborting a baby, or offing Downs Syndrome babies....or euthanizing the elderly, or killing Christians who say you have to fry like an eternal sausage in Hell if you will not repent of your sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
I don't need a feel of Dawkins' awe and wonder and reverance of life. I've heard enough of his speeches to know what he thinks about life. He thinks cannibalism is ok if the culture condones it. Cannibalism is not ok. Dawkins is only trying to flatter himself.
You love death, admit it, you think it's your friend to get you out of this illusion of consciousness in which you see a world full of pain, evil, and suffering.....ruining the beauty of it all..........so somehow you twist death into something of a beautiful part of nature. Please, be honest. You love death. Why do you think so many people use tattoos and pictures of skulls as their icons?
ok, evolution is a little swimmy thing that turend into an amphibian, then reptile, then an ape like critter and that's why my granny looked like a chimpanzee.
it's soooooo hard to understand, I hope I have made it clear for you now.
If you think abortion is ok, I don't care about your view of the beauty and/or sanctity of life. If you say you find beauty and sancticty in life, who sanctifies it? You? so if you feel an unborn child is not sanctified life, killing it is ok? Your beauty is corrupt, polluted. I don't buy it. And smearing feces on a Bible or hymnal is the same as smearing it on the faces of those who cherish the writings, so don't try to impress me with your subjective view of beauty and sanctity of life.
How in the world can anything that supposedly arose from randomness and has no real purpose or value be sanctified? Atheists just do whatever they feel like doing and reverence for life has little do do with it.
believing on a matter reacting another matter then explosion is that it, a matter defined the universe itself they don't even have the right evidences causing that kind of matter react or simply if matters even existed i dont really believe in religion or other means but what i do believe that God exist its my faith that says it, i dont need supportive evidences i wont say see you in hell cause im a sinner but see you in the jugdement
And again, the story staring Boobzilla is the exact same story told when the buck naked GEICO insurance company TV commercial cave man is strutting his stuff like it's profound how he looks like an ape. Please, it's a big joke, it should be mocked.
It's nothing but a belief in futility, meaninglessness, hopelessness, worthlessness......and why? Basically people believe it because they feel it gives them an excuse for rejecting God from ruling over them, telling them what to do or not to do in moral decision, they want to be there own little god believing they get themselves off the hook in death......so they go through life like worms that have been hooked as bait with their best hope to be swallowed by a fish quickly to put them out of their hopelessness.
Evolution is taught as a religion, "naturalism", in which you replace God with yourself and nature. Why a tough guy like you allows bully mouths like that sissy geek Dawkins who hides behind university walls to tell you how to think boggles my mind.
Dawkins your idol makes a career out of mocking God, the Bible, and Christians, and he does not understand what he is doing, he is deceived into thinking he has the right to exist as a sinner outside of Hell. When they crucified Jesus, He said "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do". They mocked Him with brutality, beating him as they mocked Him, and they mocked Him as he was hanging on the cross. Fools make a mockery of things they do not understand. There is nothing hard to understand about evolution, other than why in the world anybody actually believes it happened.
Ultimately, the Dawkins crowd would be the same mockers cheering for the death of Christians like myself. That is the goal of evolutionary teaching, survival of the fittest to inherit the Earth, thinking they can conquer death by science after they take full control of the planet. It's not going to happen. God created the world and He owns it, when it was hijacked through sin away from Him, He paid the price of sin with His own blood to buy it back, now the mess has to be cleaned up, soon it will be purged of all evil and all devils and unrepentant sinners like Dawkins will be cast away forever in the Lake of Fire from which the smoke of their torments will rise forever.
This is my Father's world, Oh let me never forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet!
This is my Father's world! The battle is not done.
Dawkins loathes the term Survival of the fittest. And he never used it.
Neither do most current biologists. If I am not mistaken, Darwin loathed it as well and was not the originator of it. I think it came from one of his detractors, in fact. Same as you.
Besides, it is not an accurate summation of the mechanics of Evolution.
Jesus has paid for nothing for me. He never met me not has a clue who we are, being as he has been dust for 2000 years now.
Regardless of who loathes the term, natural selection and survival of the fittest are key aspects of evolutionary believe. Mutation sure is not a summation of the mechanics of evolution....cartoon animations are the only summation of evolution.
Jesus paid for you, but you reject Him so you will pay for yourself and you'll never get out of it. Only God can save you from dying, Jesus conquered death but you want it all to yourself and God loves you so He'll let you have it in Hell. That's the way it is.
The hairs of your head are numbered, you have an appointment set and God knows when you won't be counting down time anymore. Sorry to disappoint you, but haters could not keep Jesus in the ground, He conquered death and will be your Judge if not your Savior...same for Dawkins too. Death is not your friend.....and neither is Dawkins.
What's the difference between natural selection and survival of the fittest? they are both generically morally bankrupt terms describing forces which shape which creatures supposedly adapted to survive and evolve. So some mutations caused some of the animals to be unfit so they died out, and the fittest survived, and natural selection eliminated the weaker mutations. One day the pure race of humans who will evolve to become gods will rise and rule the world.
You mock what you don't understand or what scares you? Is that why you mock God, the Bible, and Christians, because you do not understand and it's scary to think you may actually wake up in Hell and find you can't get out?
And don't tell me that you understand God, the Bible, and Christians. I have heard all of your objections a hundred times, and they all can be logically refuted but you won't let me show you..because you are afraid, so you mock God, mock the Bible, and mock Christians.......keep it up and God will mock you. Did you know God promises to mock people like you? Do you know why God will mock people like you? (Now I'm hoping you won't remain the way you are, but I know that is probably a false hope. God will mock people like you, I hope you don't remain one of those kind of people)..and here's why in plain simple English God will mock your breed......
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
And by the way, not only am I mocking the cartoon claiming animation designed by people is evidence of evolution, I asked valid questions that should be answered. The question about the music is a valid question, you won't want to answer it because your answer will expose the vain philosophical belief behind evolution....no matter how you answer the question about the music, I'll couple your answer with beliefs regarding evolution and make you your answers sound silly with more questions and comments.
The question about where did the little swimmy thing come from is a valid question. You don't want to answer that because it goes back to abiogenesis, and that belief is simpler comedy material than our favorite cartoons depicting evolution.
"Yeah something had to of come from something so evolution is a lie! But you know God was always a thing so my religious beliefs should basically be taught in public schools."
yeah, there is no evolution without life supernaturally causing itself from non-living things, so you believe "In the beginning,dirt.....". If you believe in evolution, you have to believe you are nothing but dirt, and that being dirt gives you an excuse for being a dirty minded foul mouth little punk.
If the belief in evolution is taught in public schools, there is no reason that scientific evidences of Creation should not be taught in public schools. Really, neither of them belong in science class. Of course a little punk like you has been brainwashed to think they are already smarter than God, so you will say stupid parrot stuff like "evolution is science". Sure. Intelligence came from nothing, and life came from non'-living matter, and believing that is "science". Punk. Go try to find your brains, somebody stole them.
