What we believe about life's origins does influence our philosophy and value of life as well as our view of ourselves and others. This is no small issue! Note; I took a few words out of the excpert to get it under 300 words.
Science cannot prove we're here by creation, but neither can science prove we're here by chance or macro-evolution. No one has observed either. They are both accepted on faith. The issue is which faith?
Why all the italians?
Amen!! There is NO record of a species evolving.
Although Darwin was partially correct by showing that natural selection occurs in nature, the problem is that natural selection itself is not a creative force.
Well I would say that procreating is a pretty good creative force. Life's not much fun when the dudes or chicks wont do it with you.
I don't know. Occupying faculty offices in biology departments, perhaps?
Odd that this is from Pravda. That stated, there are more accurate sources with anti-Macroevolutionary articles. In Pravda's article on a theoretical hyperdrive, they stated that they Alpha Centauri system was 11 lightyears away instead of the Tau Ceti system.
"The fossil record contains fossils of only complete and fully-formed species. There are no fossils of partially-evolved species."
bttt
"Where are all the half-evolved dinosaurs?"
Some of them are at the NYT, and some at the LA Times.
Why?
Where are all the half-evolved dinosaurs?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
birds
There are no half-evolved dinosaurs becasue they became extinct.
Duh.
Well, where are they?
No it's not. There is no issue.
There is money and political exploitation, but the "issues" around them are nonsense.
Further, why aren't there any oceanic species building cities and cars?
monotremes.
It may be that evolutionary changes happen quickly. Kind of like a glass of water that you fill to the brim and even over the brim before it spills. There may not be many half evolved fossil remains, just as there is virtually no time at all between the last drop in the glass and the overspill.
This is not much of an arguement.
To evolove means to change. All species are in between evoloving. The problem is evoloving into what. Nobody knows.
A few examples: dolphins and Whales, air breathing mammals living in water. Penguines, a bird evolved into an aquatic species. A saber toothed tiger, evoloving into a modern day tiger. Even modern man, gaining height, gaining disease resistance, and gaining years. What will man born in space and raised there look like after a few generations?
And on the creation side, who can say that the Supreme Being (God) is done changing species. Perhaps he is tweaking his creations, even as we speak.

I can prove vertical evolution! I can show that a venomous snake evolved into Ted Kennedy!
The Macroevolution gestapo has arrived. (There are some Macroevolutionist freepers who, although they vehemently disagree with Creationism, are generally mature in their responses. Too often though, another, larger group of Macroevolutionists simply rudely insult that which they do not agree with. The same occurs among Creationists, but to a MUCH lesser extent).
