Biologists define evolution as a change in the gene pool of a population over time. One example is insects developing resistance to pesticides over a period of a few years. Most creationists recognize that evolution at this level is a fact. What they dont appreciate is that this rate of evolution is all that is required to produce the diversity of all living things from a common ancestor.

Developing resistance is adaptation and not evolution in the sense that an atheist uses the word.

Since there can never be SRMs Evolution in sexual reproduction could not happen to create offspring.

Can you present an argument that gets around the absolute fact that all life is only reproduced from organisms that reproduce.

Evolution did not happen.

Prove God created the heavens and earth.

Don't just say it's a likely theory... prove it.

If there was an earth without the enclosed sky I might not know but God created the heavens and the earth based upon the knowledge of night clarity and day blindness

i cant believe that so many people have been corrupted and duped into thinking there is an invisible man up in the sky, watching our every move...If you think about it. God is.."all knowing all wise all powerful"...he just cant handle money...why is he always so broke? And if we do something wrong, he has a magical place for us in a firey depth of hell. By the way...can someone tell me where heaven and hell are? and how does your "soul" travel to these places...someone should have written on the bible a disclaimer telling us that it was fiction. Religion is the biggest pile of bullshit ever made...nothing but a compelling fictional story.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, lol...

And if we do something wrong, he has a magical place for us in a firey depth of hell. By the way...can someone tell me where heaven and hell are?

Nope. Since the Bible says the Universe is separate from the "spirit realm" you'd have to assume its just elsewhere; a place you couldn't define. Doesn't mean its made up though.

and how does your "soul" travel to these places...

Iunno. Beyond our understanding.

someone should have written on the bible a disclaimer telling us that it was fiction.

Really?

Religion is the biggest pile of bullshit ever made...nothing but a compelling fictional story.

Prove it :P

That is not a formal argument, all you were doing was venting which actually if you don't believe in God you can't vent about God. Also, how is God broke?

I didn't get the part about God being broke either.

I understood all the other arguments though

Any time someone says they don't believe in God they can only argue that God doesn't exist. They cannot argue anything else concerning God and they cannot critisize the Nature or character of God without acknowledging God exist,
