There is no difference between a TE and an atheist except a feeling of *faith* that there is a divine creator.
I, OTOH, do not see any empirical evidence for common descent.
What is that evidence? And, I will pass on that question...
[S]cience is not the only means we have to conclude that there is a divine cause of our existence.

[T]he book states verbatim we arose through common descent from a minimicrobe, and bases everything in the book on the creation story of evolution. The whole book is based on speculation big guy...plain and simple. |
Edited for brevity. I think I omitted no information.
Ftk, we really don't know each other. Since you have no real gripe with science other than you don't like some of the conclusions the scientific method has led us to I don't take too much offense at your rambling god talk. Hopefully you don't mind that I slaughter chickens and wank in the blood for my religious practices either.
However, that post makes an interesting statement that I think might prove to be false were you to examine it. Have you read the textbook in question? Do you really think it proposes common descent and then states as fact everything else in the book with only support from the idea of common descent? My guess is that you were probably looking at a section on phylogeny but since you actually did not tell us what the book said verbatim I couldn't really tell now could I?
Ignorance is one thing. Not just forgivable but expected in everyone. Freedom of religion too. You push the boundaries a bit too much for my taste though with what looks to me to be behavior bordering on dishonesty.
Am I missing the point?
