From the other thread
1. Hopefully he is doing that.
2. Can't be scared of something that does not exist.
3. For things with required stages of development? Yes....
4. No. The 2nd law of thermodynamics does NOT disprove the theory of evolution. Earth is not a closed system.
5. Seriously? The earth rotates and blocks our view of the sun.
6. See 4. The second law in no ways debunks said theories and only people who have no understanding of any of said laws would try and claim otherwise...
7. What about it?
8. There is no meaning to life. We make our own.
9. Some chemicals combined with other chemicals and created the first single cell organism. Does life resulting from chance scare you?
10. Good for you.
11. We don't.
12. There is far more than lucy...try looking stuff up occasionally.

13. Metamorphosis was evolved just like everything else.
14. Evolution is both a fact and theory. Neither Creationism or the bible are theories.
15. Science is not a theory, it is a method of acquiring knowledge and the collection of said knowledge. Further, it is testable, repeatable, and observable. Creationism is not a science. Also, see the first and 14'th amendments.
16. Mutation, crossing over, errors in replications, etc.
17. There is no purpose. We make up our own purpose.
18. We have found more than 1. See 12.
19. Absolutely
20. How can you look upon the world and see design? Thats like a puddle of water thinking the entire universe was made for it because it fits perfectly in a crack. Its even more amazing when you remove the creator.
21. The big bang did not originate from an exploding star...
22. We evolved from a common ancestor. They don't need to go anywhere.
Man, these people are completely clueless.

Also the colors that appear at sunset are due to the refraction/reflection of the atmosphere..

I don't think most believers believe in talking donkeys, talking snakes, and talking bushes

Somebody doesn't know what a theory is. Perhaps a few more science classes are in order.
