Sure, and they think that whatever they do is right in their own mind no matter how twisted their minds are. And I am showing you how evolution works including a mathematical explanation and empirical evidence. It really upsets atheists when they hear this.

Re: Self Serving Beliefs
I think it's hard for people to believe in Jesus Christ. Believing in Jesus Christ requires suffering in this world. If there was a magical way to discount Jesus, it's no surprise many would leap at it. A life without accountability to Jesus Christ, is a special kind of hell, a cruel animalistic fate.
In a way, the ToE is a fancy name for an animus religion. Returning to an animal state, rejecting human sentience. Living this way is easier, although it is counterfeit, perhaps why so many atheists get cold feet about atheism at the end of life,--and if you don't accept Jesus Christ as God, you may as well be an atheist, because you're equally worthless, and twice as shameful, at least the atheist can claim mental defect before Christ the judge.
Divine Mercy is the gospel and I have hope that even the worst atheist can find redemption in the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, the only one who can love even the worst sufferer, even the most pitiable human existence.
I would rather have every physical and mental disease at once than be a healthy atheist, because the burden of sin is great upon the spirit, Christ eases the yoke, God is all-loving and all-knowing, and he saved me from a life of hell on earth. He has set us aside and he has asked us to love the least of those among us, among the mentally disabled I see crowns, I see redemption even in the face of brain diseases and the cruelest snares of the evil one.
I would rather die on my feet than be the helpless prey to the devil that the atheists are, although they are largely ignored, the devil hates priests the most, because they are practitioners of the sacraments and our active salvation.
to be an atheist is to be a spectator in the salvation of humanity.
unfortunately for them, life is lived better actively, on the team of Jesus, not as a spectator sport.
the atheist rides the rickety bleachers denying Christ because he is afraid to be himself, a created being, not a molecular skin to be lived out without consequences and discarded like a egg sac

No matter what you think of yourself, you can't upset an atheist by spouting such nonsense. The best you can hope for is a mild depression for the poverty of the human religious mind.

It's not hard to tell how little you know about the science of evolution. You have lots of mythical stories, just no math or physics.

Does that mean you are ready to explain the Kishony and Lenski evolutionary experiments? Let's see you do that with your mythology about Kiwi birds.

For someone so certain on this issue, you aren't doing such a good job explaining the science of evolution. And we have good experimental evidence for that issue. So, when are you going to put the wisdom of the universe to work and explain to us the physics and mathematics of evolution?

First you say that there is no God and then you blame the evil in the universe on that God. Maybe the people who do evil should be held to account for that evil. And now you claim that the God that doesn't exist produces manufacturing defects. You really don't want to be held account for the defects you produce, whether they are in manufacturing a chair or explaining evolution.

In your mind, no one deserves judgment. No one ever sins. You can't even do your own job and correctly explain the science of evolution. Think of all the people who die of drug-resistant infections and failed cancer treatments because you don't explain evolution correctly. You have a simple explanation, the God that doesn't exist works in mysterious ways.

And again. Discussions about atheism and whether there is a supernatural judge have nothing to do with evolution.
Why are you avoiding defending your statements?
First you say that there is no God and then you blame the evil in the universe on that God. Maybe the people who do evil should be held to account for that evil. And now you claim that the God that doesn't exist produces manufacturing defects.

I mean, am I supposed to not notice that you're trying to change the subject? Really?
So you think that talking with atheists is a waste of time?
That's not something you've ever done or will ever do. If you actually did, you might learn something. The starting point is that atheism has nothing to do with evolution.
So, when are you going to explain the Kishony and Lenski evolution experiments. Why don't you use your mythology about Kiwi birds to explain those experiments?
Why don't you stop trying to change the subject?

You can't even explain the Jukes-Cantor model, you don't understand what a Markov chain process is. You should study the Harvard and MIT lectures videos on YouTube so you might not blow so much stinky smoke.

That's right you mathematically incompetent numbskull. This Jukes-Cantor Markov process consists of 4 possible states at the particular site that when you multiply that vector by the transition matrix gives the next state of the system. You don't have to parameterize the system to time in order to calculate the transitions of the system. You can simply multiply the state vector by the transition matrix to get the next state of the system, it is a simple recursion relationship. Since it is clear that you don't understand the Harvard and MIT lectures on this subject, watch this example of how you set up and calculate a Markov process by direct matrix multiplication.

I've already given you so many hints that you should able to post the model yourself. You are just too mathmatically incompetent to do the math yourself. You will have to wait until the paper gets published to see how to do the math. But you won't understand that either. I doubt that many of you fish-to-mammals aficionados will understand the math and physics. You are too busy writing your mythology about evolution.
But I do want to thank you for helping to lift my writers' block.

One of the standard Kleinman excuses. In reality you haven’t even thought of a model, otherwise you would know about the problems you’d encounter.
If there is a paper (which I doubt) it will just be your attempts to apply Jukes-Cantor to the question of getting two mutations at once. Which you can do, but it’s hardly going to add much to human knowledge.

Of course, I understand the problems I will encounter. They are the same problems that people encountered when they told the flat-earthers that the earth isn't flat. You fish-to-mammals aficionados have been doing the math wrong for so long that you can't even imagine there is a correct way of doing the mathematics of evolution. But I do find it amusing that by correctly banana-picking the gene that you can show that you are related to bananas.

There's a paper and I added a little more today thanks to you. And maybe it will add a little knowledge to the descendants of bananas.
