well birds are dinosaurs end of story - which means evolution is true and the Bible is rubbish Show me the line of logic that arrives at this particular conclusion. |

It's a waste of time trying to discuss anything with you too, foil hat.

Perhaps this may cause you to think twice next time you tuck into a roast chook. Would you relish your meal quite as much if your humble chicken's relatives (such as Tyrannosaurus) were still around to defend them?
I don't think there would be a defence at all - Mr Tyrannosaurus would just have that little bit more than me for lunch.

Show me the line of logic that arrives at this particular conclusion. Because birds are dinosaurs. Birds are evolved dinosaurs. Evolution is true and the reality. Those three things are well known and understood. And the Bible is complete rubbish. Now I stand by for your invalidation of reality. Buzz, in science ~real science~ there are things called "Laws" and "Theories" A Law, is a principle that is taken to be universally applicable. They are true by nature or undeniable because the predicate is reducible to the subject, (Meaning one cannot deny the principle, without using it. Making it self-evident.) Gravity is a Law, Causality is a Law, Non-contradiction is a Law, even logic follows it's set of Laws. A theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on observation and experiment. It's findings are tentative, mutable, and it conclusions are rarely absolute. They can be challenged, tested, and discredited. Evolution is a THEORY.Stop treating it like a LAW! |

it is only a theory that the earth goes around the sun No. That's based on Kepler's laws of planetary motion.Wanna try again? |

Heliocentrism isn't a theory, it's a MODEL.
...And it's based on Newton's law of gravity, and the three laws of motion.

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of knowledge that has been repeatedly confirmed How is this different from what I said? Does it mean it's not tentative? no. Does it mean it's immutable? no. Can they be discredited and questioned? Yes. Is it absolute? no. |

It has been "repeatedly confirmed" that a golf ball, once struck will eventually land on grass. ..But sometimes it lands in water.  |

if it is repeatedly confirmed it does happen consistently No. That's a description of what occurs, not a prescription of what ought to occur. Don't confuse the two. |

Then why is it not the LAW of evolution?
