So admit your religion cannot explain parasites. In fact, the behavior of parasites (attacking innocent animals that have nothing to do with human 'sins'😉 contradicts the existence of your god for the reason already explained to you. In contrast, modern science can explain parasites -they ...[text shortened]... Modern science; 1. your religion; 0.
Have you ever considered coming out of the dark ages?

Which is pure speculation and blind faith on your part. We, on the other hand, CAN explain it with proven hard scientific facts -no faith, no speculation.

You have not explained how evolution would make parasites either
evolution would evolve parasites by mutation and natural selection -how else?

fortunately you are just another relic and have no street cred in science or anything else for that matter. Soon you will be gone and there will be one less strident voice with bloated ego flying against obvious truths like the true age of the Earth, 4.6 billion years old or thereabouts.
2 centuries ago your ilk was still trying to convince folks the world was flat.
Or 1 century ago, if we had been meant to fly....
And now in this century, one of the vanishingly small minority still clinging to the hope someone will prove the age of the Earth at 6 thousand years
and the creation fairy tale is the absolute truth. Good luck with that one.

Besides, your video said that some churches accepted Darwin's theory. Your spiritual ancestors thought Darwin was right.
Originally posted by vivifyWell we have scientist of today that know about that stuff and they still challenge Darwinain evolution at the evilution level. I know of none of my spiritual or natural ancestors that thought Darwin was right. I remember them asking, "Which came first the chicken or the egg?" And they still went to church. Obviously according to the Holy Bible the egg came from the chicken just as the seed comes from the plants.

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind.
Remember the hen lays the egg and has to sit on it keeping it at a certain temperature over a period of time before the egg can hatch and the baby chicks are fed by the mother hen until they can peck for themselves.

Evolution does not require "belief" as it is reliant and proven by indisputable evidence.
Invariably. those that deny the Facts or "Don't Believe" in Evolution, show by their arguments that they Do Not Understand the subject. This in itself, is quite understandable & predictable. Human society & culture does not lend itself to well to entirely accurate understanding of extremely complex subjects. Misconceptions are 'common knowledge' & the media and entertainment industries are constantly un/mis informing the populace and failing to correct inaccuracies, as to do so would be contrary to their 'Raison D'etra.
When people say they don't believe that man was descended from an ape, they show that they don't understand evolution properly.
When people say that many positive attributes (especially in sports performances) is "In their Genes" they show they don't understand the subject properly & are rarely corrected. I could give further examples, but I think the point is made.
P.s. As for the chicken & egg thing, (a really poor analogy of a supposed paradox) ... Dinosaurs were Reptiles. Reptiles lay eggs. Chickens are Birds. Reptiles precede Birds (birds evolved from reptiles) therefore... eggs came before chickens! Simple.
pps. Have a nice day!

The only way you could not accept this is by not understanding the subject or by holding "Unreasonable doubts" such as 'faith' based opinions which, you are entitled to believe for your own personal reasons, but please don't try to undermine the Scientific truth on this basis, if for no other reason than it will not work.
