Whoa!
Next thing we know, there will be all sorts of Finches with different beak characteristics.
Who publishes this stuff?
What about finches with different beak characteristics?
Finch beaks are an example of micro-evolution. What’s the takeaway from that? That every organism evolved from the same ancestor? LOL.
Micro-macro, who knows?
It's certainly extremely doubtful that the Erf is <8000 years old.
The Restaurant at the end of the Universe may explain it...

Finch beaks point to a Creator who provides
While naturalistic mechanisms may play some role in producing the patterns we see today, creationists have pointed out that they are insufficient to account for the variety seen within created kinds.
One issue to address is the source of variation. Is it really random, as is commonly believed, or were creatures designed to be able to vary? Beaks can vary in three dimensions: length, width, and depth. The morphology of the beak in an individual adult is determined during its development. Research on Darwin’s finches is revealing molecular mechanisms that account for these differences in development. Two distinct developmental phases are responsible for determining adult beak shape. The details are fascinating and contradict the assertion that variation is random. Rather, they reveal a purposeful design.
or worse.
Thanks.
Micro-evolution, which is variation within a species, can and does occur without any new genetic information being created. Existing genetic information is just being rearranged. Macro-evolution requires the continual creation of new genetic information. The rearrangement of existing genetic info cannot cause an insect to turn into a reptile or something.
But now you're off on the age of the universe.
How could these media members not know that? I am certainly not a Biblical scholar but I immediately knew they were incorrect.
The Israelites did against as God had instructed by not wiping out the Canaanites. They paid a price for it later. The members of the media should stay away from such subjects if they’re that clueless. Otherwise, they will keep embarrassing themselves.
Micro-evolution: From Chihuahuas, Yorkies, and Pomeranians to Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds, and Great Pyrenees -— they’re all just dogs.
The Israelites were a headstrong people.
It takes about eleven days to walk from Egypt to Canaan.
It took them 49 years because no one would stop and ask for directions.
40 years. Of course Moses couldn’t even get in because he was a showboat. So maybe he was leading them in circles.
No, He was just giving good advice: if you are going to take someone's land, kill them all. Keeping them as slaves or pets will come back on you. And history has shown again and again that indigenous people are indeed a thorn in the side of the conqueror.
#7. So you are saying that genetics and evolution is for the birds?
I thought the dinosaurs had settled that issues millions of years ago.
Just look at Nancy Pelosi - definitely an English House Sparrow.
Maxine Waters - Turkey Vulture
Sen. Mitch McConnell - Thanksgiving Turkey
former Sen. Barbara Boxer - Shrew
Hillary Clinton - A Hen
They are like Neanderthals, in the sense that they never really are out of the gene pool.
No worries, folks. There’s a Day coming when the reporters and editors will stand before the White Throne of Judgment. On that Day, they can argue their cases before the Great Judge of the Universe. They’ll lose, and, on that day, they’ll also bow their knee and proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord.
This is a remarkable story if you read it. It shows headlines like: “Cannanite DNA proves the bible was wrong” ...except the Bible says they were NOT wiped out even though God commanded it. This was an area where Isreal did NOT obey God and for centuries they are mentioned giving Isreal problems.
In this his case the original article in American Journal of Genetics had the false statement about what the Bible said.
These articles were quoting what the scientific article said.
It is an egregious example of poor scholarship.
Here is the link to the original scientific article.

“Uncertainties also surround the fate of the Canaanites: the Bible reports the destruction of the Canaanite cities and the annihilation of its people; if true, the Canaanites could not have directly contributed genetically to present-day populations.”
