Not changing ~ 240 million years ~ 1/4 billion years ~ not changing.

Yet they adapt!

Well so much for the successful eaters theory of evolution.

Much ‘wisdom’ contained in those three paragraphs.

Adaptation is the means of survival of all forms of life. The 'blueprints' for the 'forms' have always been there. We are spiritual beings descended into physical form. Our 'form' is 'mammal'. How successful that form will be remains in question.

The horsetail weed you can never quite manage to get out of your garden goes back some 350 mya. Similarly long petigrees can be found in horseshoe crabs and hagfish. But the hagfish may be related to all vertebrates as the earliest with its cartilage backbone. All kinds of insects are little changed for hundreds of millions of years. You just can’t improve on perfection, I guess.

I never understood why Evolution and Christianity had to be considered mutually exclusive.

If we are to assume that Evolution is indeed true, the next question would be, So who created Evolution?

Faye Wray was given her iconic role in "King Kong" precisely because she had the loudest and most piercing screams of all those who auditioned.

They are no more lunatic than the creators of that mythological evolution tail/tale.

Oh just so you know before you akin off, I have NO doubt this earth is very very very old... How old, nobody can state with a certainty. So whom ever planted that 230-Million date on these bugs, is only making an educated guess.

Genesis 1:2 says this earth became null and void and there was one big flood. That heaven/earth age that existed when these bugs did was destroyed. There is NO date given in the whole of the Bible that says when God created the heavens and the earth and how long it took the devil to rebel.

It is amusing in part that The Creator left all manner of evidence of that 'first' heaven/earth age for the modern apes to discover... Chew on that.

Evolution and Natural Selection/Survival of the Fittest are not the same. Evolution has more to with cross species conception and mutation whereas Natural Selection has to do with one species adapting itself to its environment and breeding advantages through survival of the sittest.

Natural selection can be proven in the lab using small cellular organisms.

Evolution is not provable in the lab and takes on a guessing game system which itself evolves into a quasi-religion (Man descended from Apes or both had a common ancestor).

Natural Selection is scientific, Evolution is astrological.

A lot of evolution couches itself in genetic drift and mutation. But this is a guessing game that brings about ‘models’ and rules, that become doctrine and from doctrine comes belief, hence a religion of anti-God religion posing itself as science but actually quasi-science.

The behavior of evolutionists is very similar to the global warming cult. The evolutionists establish a central dogma and post new hypotheses for which they go about gathering information and accepting/rejecting data based on how the data conform with the central dogma. This approach looks scientific in appearance but really it is political and more astrological.

Astrology as a system of reasoning can never be wrong; there is always an explanation in its procedures.

Whereas the scientific method can be wrong allowing scientists to ‘experiment’ and reproduce findings.

Evolution falls in with Astrology; Natural Selection falls in with Scientific Method.

Evolution is insecure, and will co-opt Natural Selection as its own, to preserve an aura of credibility.

But a lot of Evolution is fraudulent just as Astrology is fraudulent (and there is definitive proof that Astrology is fraudulent)

No one is going to stop humans from practicing or entertaining themselves with Astrology because it is an organizer of sorts for some human minds to manage information, although it is a system of false beliefs.

All models are false, some are useful. This is a well-known saying in scientific communities.

Likewise no one is going to stop evolutionists from ‘believing’ in Evolution, nor prevent evolutionists from claiming Natural Selection (which is wrongly said that Evolution encompasses) proves its scientific beliefs are valid.

Had an old biology teacher, if you used the word *bug* in class, your life was in definite peril.

Someone should edit that part of the movie and show a guy holding up a newspaper that says “Obama wins a 2nd term” then cut to Fay Wray screaming.
