Dear Dr. Bilagi;
Your most recent message to me (which is below) restated the
belief you began with: that the "fight between rabbit & virus if
left unchecked may imbalance the biosphere". You restated this
belief without any new supporting arguments or justification and
after many posts from me which showed that each of your specific
views was contrary to fact and simple logic.
Why do you continue to hold this belief about viruses when you
are unable to support or justify it?
It appears to me that you have no interest in examining evidence
and accepting the conclusions that naturally follow from that
evidence. You appear to want to retain your beliefs whether
they are supported by evidence or not.
So, I must ask:
If you are unwilling to consider the evidence, why are you
talking to me and others here on Talk.Origins?
I note also that you are also attempting to develop a new
argument based on sexual reproduction. This is a VERY complex
issue. The answers to many questions on this topic are unclear
or completely unknown.
Often creationists attempt to show that because some facts about
evolution are unknown then that is evidence that evolution is
false. But this is simply ridiculous. No physicist can tell
you the source/cause of mass, but no-one thinks that gravity and
mass do not exist because some questions remain unanswered.
The POSITIVE evidence for mass is overwhelming, consequently
everyone believes it exists.
Similarly, the POSITIVE evidence for evolution is also
overwhelming. In response to your last question below I have
presented ONE small piece of that evidence.
I invite you to CONSIDER that POSITIVE evidence, and challenge
it if you like.
I only hope you will allow your opinion to be influenced by the
evidence.
Dear fraind
You have rightly picked my thinking I am of the opinion that
evolution by bare passive death trap of unfits is not possible
to explain everthing I belive.
I am definatly looking into possibolity that something which
can not menifist by simple random mutation or which needs
to fixed again & again againist natural selection,
something like that.I belive Evolution of sex may make some
senes as of now to me.
Is sexual reproduction realy advantages over asexual
reproduction Do cost of sexual reprduction out way the
benfits.
Is speciaes fixation is better metod of for natural selection
if not we could got lot of much more highly diveserfied
organsiums having better adatable capicity
On this can we suppose that sexual reproduction was fixed
explicitly rather than by radum mutaion and passive death trap
of unfits (natural selection) which tends to diversify.
Give your valuble opinion
Now about fight between rabbit & virus if left unchecked may
imbalance the biosphere, this what I belive I think there is
admistretaion in this connection
Given the EVIDENCE, why is it wrong to acknowledge that God
used evolution as part of his method for creating life on
earth?
I also think so but it needs to proved
Well there is a lot of proof for evolution. Here is one little
bit for your consideration.
It illustrates the evolution of the human brain over the past
2.5 million from about 450cc to it's present size of about
1350cc:

Aren't the above fossils clear EVIDENCE of human evolution
during the past 2.5 million years?
