Sounds like some quantum theory to me...does a tree falling in the forest make a sound if no one is there to hear it? Is quantum entanglement real, and how does it work exactly
Who says apes have no soul?
Can you define and prove the existence of souls? Where do they reside in my body? Who first made up this soul thing...was it Paul. Could be Paul I guess...he made up 'Original Sin' after all.
As I said previously you lot are hiding behind philosophy and trying to score fruitless points. The point is there is no evidence to suggest there is no God, so stop chasing your tail into philosophical conundrums and walkes doesn the garden path of evasion.

What's up?????????? Is science too hard for you evolutionists to get your head around?

That's what I am saying so my Egyptian neighbor's cat is the real God...

End of the God saga and the stories of the God we trust in and give our life to..The money God the no.1 god is he...

I much rather pray to a black cat and feed her a rat as a treat than to lie my faith into the theory that money heals all wounds...

Love than really wouldn't mean a thing but that and it is supposed to be the ultimate force and I think now that America for a most of it's in part is a bigger flip flop FLOP than anything...
Merry Christmas and may the presents be of plenty under every child's tree this year and may there be a way that every child throughout America will have that place a home and a tree with presents under it...

If that is not going to happen the Real Deal may really get p's off...

Christ and his all memory of when he was born in the stable freezing it was what did the wise man bring Mary anything?

She deserves her peace too more than Christ does I am sure to have given birth to have dealt and to have watched her son being placed on the cross with no one even trying to get him freed?

People that once grabbed at him were healed through a believe if maybe for none other than that to have had a believe, well Christ Jesus GOD LORD AND KING he is like the super magical super hero if he knows math too that would be extreme...

You have not refuted anything. I do not, and have never run away from anything. It is you evos that refuse to discuss science and use scientific theory to support your point, that is if you had one, which you don't.
I made a claim and you come up with this vague woffle.
Look at the discussion now. It has turned to philosophy. I only want to talk science. It is usually evos that say creos don't want to talk science and all you evos appear to be doing is scurrying as far away from science as possible.
Every statement I have made I can support from your own researchers. If all you can do is say ' TOE is right because they said so, then I say, that 'they' have been wrong many many times before.eg human knucklewalking ancestry, junk dna, 2 turned to three domains of life, the death of single celled LUCA, brain size tied to bipedalism, Mendellian inheritance being the only form of inheritance refuted by HGT and epigentic inheritance etc.
I can support the scientific statements I make in previous posts and here.
The consortium has assigned some sort of function to roughly 80% of the genome, including more than 70,000 ‘promoter’ regions — the sites, just upstream of genes, where proteins bind to control gene expression — and nearly 400,000 ‘enhancer’ regions that regulate expression of distant genes
http://www.nature.com/news/encode-the-human-e...
I have stated, in line with the thread topic, that evos have woffled on about junk dna being absolute proof of evolution. That claim is slowly turning to mud. Toe is made of these little balls of rot that are offered as support but are no more than flavour of the month.
A creationist prediction is, and has always been, that in time it will be found that all dna will be found to be functional. The same goes for vestigial organs.
This prediction is being validated as time goes on as any good prediction should. This is opposed to evolutionary theory that generally comprises flavour of the month.
So what say you evos about junk dna? What supports TOE? Some junk, no junk, all junk, how much junk?????? TOE is an anything goes theory with the hit and miss predictability of a crystal ball.
Toe is a philosophy of faith (No need for God) just like any other and is, just like any other faith, trying to find some support for its credibility. Theist evos just have their own slant and IDers are somewhere in the middle.
One of the most amusing things for me is seeing someone who knows so, so little of what they are talking about, but thinks that they are some sort of authority. It's hilarious.

I can already tell that there is no point in trying to engage you in debate, as I have observed you blatantly misrepresent evolution either intentionally or out of ignorance several times, so I know you aren't interested in anything other than grandstanding; but I just wanted to point that out to you. You have also tried to paint it as a philosophy diametrically opposed to religion, which it is not. To deny the evidence is not ignorance, it is stupidity. Why does it threaten you so much, anyway? Cause it conflicts with your goat herder book? Maybe it's a tool of god, right? That's what your church has decided, because they looked at the evidence and realized that to deny the TOE would be akin to denying heliocentrism all those years ago. Guess they didn't wanna look *that* stupid again.

Seriously, when you find yourself taking Charles "To date!" Idemi's side, you need to rethink your position.

Really? You seem to disregard this...
"There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets of nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which man should not wish to learn."
St. Augustine (354 - 430)
Yes, the curiousity to find out the unknown without giving up, is an act of faith.
But no concrete evidence to date, to in-validate the existence of the almighty.

Ok so the Easter bunny, Santas' elves nor Fairies can be proven to not exist.
Unfortunately, the evolutionary fiasco played out like the changing scenes and scenarios that support the overarching TOE is much like any bed time story and cannot be proven to not exist. That is why TOE is virtually unfalsifiable and does not meet the a credible standard of falsifiability.

Hence, my question in relation to evolutionists predictions around non coding dna. What supports TOE? If in 50 years time it is demonstrated that all of the genome is functional, as creationists predict, what then? Does that mean TOE is flse?

Not on Darwins death bed! Hence although TOE can make a few scant predictions, it is virtually unfalsifiable and has little predictability.

All faiths can interpret data to suit themselves and come up with their own algorithmic magic to support themselves.

I think to be closed to only one view is problematic.

The thing is it seriously looks like creos are on better tracks than evos.

General creationist predictions on junk dna and so called vestigal organs are being supported more as time goes on. That appears to be a fact. These are stable predictions.

If proven in time, I suggest evolutionists will have lost a huge support for evolutionary theory, despite any handwaving they come up with to explain it.

All creationists please not a person that has many word and not one shred of support.

Look pal, when you klearn what an actual refute should look like I'll give you are serious reply.

For now you are just a woffler without a link or science to be seen.
