Who said it did? Similarities in genes between species speaks volumes however.
Yeah it does. It speaks volumes about what we are made of, who we are etc, but it says nothing about extint ancestors. Simliarites exist in all lie.
No, you said, "Who said anything about a creator?". This indicates that your argument is not relying on a
creator.
And it doesn't.
Your labeling of "faith" is really amusing. Does it take faith to see the change in the fossil record? Does it take
faith to see that my children have genes that have been passed on to them from my wife and I?
What change in the fossil record? Things die and add to it, that's the only change. Yep, you and your wife passed on your genes. And it's been that way during all of mans days. But it takes a leap of blind faith to say those genes evolved from a common ancestor.
So, you do know about the birds and the bees. Personally I was found under a cabbage leaf, but that's another topic. However you can only trace your ancestors only so far. And then you have to leap across the wide branches of the "tree" to invent a common ancestor.
And you subtract from your actual posts.
Got an example?
And what was your reason? It was because it can't be tested and observed. Well neither can Pangaea.
That's a good one, but I didn't say it was the only one. See how you add to thoughts?
Science has yet to discover a supernatural creator. When they do, ask me the question again.
Lucky for them the sponsers of SETI don't think like you. I guess you don't agree they should be looking for intelligent life since science hasn't shown you an example yet.
