Were people given the option for bail but could not afford it or was bail denied? That lectern was needed to conduct the business of the government like confirming election results. It was not an ordinary trespass, smash. and grab.

The separation of church and state is foundational and essential to the success of the republic. Founding fathers were mostly Deists rather than Xtians. They were reasonable men for the most part.

Why? I use simple logic. I believe things based on the evidence before me. I do not believe everything until there is evidence against it. If you want to discuss this further. Let's find a different thread.

The fun of science is that it allows you to test what your imagination conjures so you can reject or accept it. This is a good thing. You always start with a substrate that is in may ways similar to the novel form. Pick exemplars from further points in time and you may see vast differences...

Not true. Even if you had absolute proof of resurrection, it does not validate the particulars of the religion or its origin narratives. It would prove that death is not final under some circumstances only. BTW, there is no convincing evidence that the resurrection occurred.

This phrase is better. Too bad it is sexist.

To support the theory of supernatural creation, you need to do more than bash evolution. You need to provide evidence of the creator, their materials, and methods. Maybe your goal is simply to say both involve faith, and agree to disagree?

Small extrapolation is cool.

Paradigm shifts are not cults dying. Science is like soap, it is self-cleaning.

Because you say so? Labs are working on this. If they simulate 1- the emergence of the building blocks of life via plausible primordial earth conditions and 2- eventual self assembly of protocells, will you accept at least the possibility that abiogenesis occurred? Sure you can. Inference...

This is just not true. Most mutations are neutral and they are common. Each human has 70 to 200 or so of them. Two percent could be harmful, ten percent helpful. Mutations add to the richness of variability, Information is added when environmental factors interact with them and effect the...

Trump actually though American forces had entered Ukraine.

Why? I think it would be likely that abiogenesis having had the conditions needed to occur might well have happened more than once in similar but slightly different ways. Many eventually went extinct. LUCA succeeded. I would wager more creationists actually know they are lying given their...

Go back to START. Everything I send to YOU turns to GOO. Do Better.

Yes. That is what we are trying to determine. Think of ways to prove or disprove your hypothesis, But, by all means do not confuse the hypothesis with the conclusion. The fact that life is here is evidence of either hypothesis -- so it is not evidence that differentiates the two. It is weak...

Sure -- except that is exactly what a hypothesis is. Looking at independent variables, under the investigator's control, and dependent variables that are free to vary and are results we hope to predict based on our hypothesis ISOLATES the relationship we are examining from the examiners's...

LOL. The existence of life is great evidence that there must have been a designer, but terrible to refute the statement there is no evidence whatsoever of abiogenesis? What an ultra maroon!

Typical Divider Tactic. Require seeing something under laboratory conditions. Then criticize the artificial conditions. Then equate the researcher with a designer, and discount the whole thing. A nasty shell game. Divider cannot see the elegance in converging lines of inquiry. 1) Discover...

Oh, so you prefer the land puddles that are constantly drying out and filling again as the cradle of life?

Actually every fossil is a transitional member, but fossils only survive in particular places and for particular times due to environmental conditions not because of the living creature the fossils are based on.
