The Fish That Shoots Down Evolution

I feel such sorrow that I may have eaten a fish that could have sired the flying fish which would have obtained supersonic flight.

Sigh!

The fact that it was drenched in lemon juice, and slathered in tartar, sauce makes the consumption go down much easier.

Urp.

What tells them that they can shoot water out of their mouth at insects above the surface of the water?

Evolution.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Free will does have the capacity to kill.

So killing isn't an act of free will.

[From many - one.]

Not an a answer since you accept heritable, intraspecific adaptation.

Yes, tea..but it's really old tea.

Tea that has a chance to ferment... for 12 years...

[freedumb2003]

Puzzlement disproves evolution.

Congratulations -- your post is now on my list of potential Taglines!!!

the philosphy that you adhere to.

This does not adequately define "evolutionism". It merely presumes that, whatever "evolutionism" may be, I adhere to it as a philosophy. Until you define "evolutionism", you cannot use it to describe what I may or may not believe.

[freedumb2003]

the philosphy that you adhere to.

So it is like Computerism, Mathism, Chemistryism, Physicsism?

That's a nice thing to say about waiting a while to be a greeter at the gates! LOL! I'm not perfect, by any means, but I have plenty of faith, even if I am an evolutionist. ;)

I have often wondered this point: how do species survive if it takes thousands of years to evolve into the shape and form that will enable them to survive their predators and environment? How are they surviving in the meantime?

And if environment has an effect on survival evolvement, then why the many different species in a particular area? Why did a giraffe evolve to have a long neck but the zebra didn't need to?

[Celtjew Libertarian]

it is a philosophy, a belief system,

Can you define the tenets of this belief system?

[Dimensio]

it is a philosophy, a belief system

What are the "beliefs" of evolutionism, and how have you determined that I "adhere" to them?

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Daaaaannnnngggggg.....

[phantomworker]

Now WHO doesn't understand evolution? !!! ROFL!

[Celtjew Libertarian]

both are a pair of opposing worldviews based on different ideologies. Evolutionism is based upon the foundation that only naturalistic and materialistic causes exist for not just life here on earth but the entire cosmos from the point of origin until now.

What about the belief that God designed evolution or, perhaps more precisely, in my case, the processes from which evolution developed)?

That's later. Where is the reference to how there was no killing before Satan?

Before sin, there was no death.

1Co 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1Co 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
