None the less, I remember reading about evolution in the 5th grade (maybe 1971) and I remember when another kid was telling me that the word "pteranodon" in the book I was reading was actually "Pterodactyl" and I finally gave up on trying to get him to look at the spelling because he was ready to get in a fist fight over it.

According to Drew, its not likely.
One living creature per generation, on average, gets fossilised. I don't know where he got that stat from, but its pretty cool.
I want to be fossilised for posterity. Perhaps 34 million years from now, an intelligent form of owl descendent will be digging up the period and find me as another curious example of those big brained apes. Perhaps they will speculate that these apes developed an advanced intelligence. So I want my laptop preserved with me. Is there any way we can make it last the distance? Suggestions welcome.

Evolution observation and theory are different? Imagine that...

How does sin exist?
Did he create it, or just allow it?

Yeah, kids.
Ok, so let's move beyond the 5th grade then.
If you want to challenge evolutionary scientists, you need to ask harder questions. None of the stuff you are bringing up is much of a challenge beyond very introductory level stuff.
Much more difficult questions are:
- why does most of the field of biomedicine work when they don't actually use the framework theory of evolution?
- why do people commit suicide, have depression, etc?
- why do people and animals display same sex sexual behavior?
- why don't the alpha males of monkey troops have the most offspring?(it's the beta males who do)
- why can people conceive of religion?

where is that in evolutionary theory?

KJV wrote:

<quoted text>
When man brought sin into the world many things changed. For one death was brought into the world. Before Adams Sin there was never death.
That means little lizards had a long time to grow and get big. Women changed physically so child birth became pain full. Snakes lost their legs and had to squirm on their bellies.

Sure it is. Sin is an arbitrary designation for actions based on similarly arbitrary values. Before God, or someone claiming to speak for God, declared particular deeds "sins," they were not sins, or were even recommended courses of action. It isn't until someone created the label "sin" and created the rationalization for it that sin existed.
Try again.

I'm not interested in challenging evolutionary scientists. The theory of Evolution is largely complete.
Archeologists and anyone else who thinks we need more to get along with out daily lives should find something better to do than argue religion with Topix posters. You might as well be killing ants with a magnifying glass. It' not putting you in a good light.
On that note, I'm outta here. Nobody takes the time to respond to posts in their original context and I'm tired of pointing that out. Enjoy your elbowing matches.

So, cooking the calf in the milk of its mother is not a sin. I guess God was wrong.

<quoted text>
Mixing products of milk and meat is a sin under both Jewish and Islamic law.
Eating cows is a sin under Hindu law.
Eating meat is a sin under Buddhist law.
One cheeseburger and you've sinned in four different religions.
If you DON'T believe that that is a sin, then you are saying that the rules of these religions do not apply to your actions.
That means that the ACTION and the INTENTION are NOT related to the sin. Only the RULES are important.
So, without the rules, there is no sin.
Who made up these rules?

<quoted text>Yes, sin. like the concept of a god is created by man.

I seriously doubt MikeF believes in those things, too.
