Look Notary...

I’m beating a dead horse here. This video has “Living Fossils” in the title because they are alive today and found in the same strata as dinosaurs. Werner sought them and found them.

Either you’re willing to invest some time in viewing it or, like many others before you, you are unwilling to take the chance on having your worldview shaken.

A PhD scientist named Philip Skell once said: “A theory that is so flexible that it explains everything, in reality, explains nothing at all.”

The theory of evolution fits that description.

Come to think of it, how does evolution explain this:

Since genes reproduce asexually and animals/humans reproduce sexually.... that means that at some point in time at the exact same place on the planet, two creatures evolved with two separate sets of plumbing that just happened to be perfect for each other.... one having the sperm necessary for life and the other having an egg necessary for life. They also had the ability to inject the sperm into a cavity where the egg existed in order to fertilize it and begin the process of birthing another of the same species... but the process of fertilization was only the beginning.... the plumbing where the egg evolved is HUGELY complex and necessarily so in order to get that fertilized egg to the point of birth.

Here are a couple of questions:

1. Since Natural Selection is an observable phenomenon and therefore not conjecture... and we know that Natural Selection will select based on advantage for survival... how did sexual reproduction survive given that observation tells us that asexual reproduction has up to twice as much reproductive success as sexual reproduction? Wouldn’t Natural Selection have selected sexual reproduction out of the process?

2. What are the odds that evolution, a random process, could invent the two complimentary sets of plumbing at the exact same time and the exact same place.... especially given the facts presented above?

3. After the baby is born, the body cuts the placenta off. It has been described by some as “like hitting the arteries with a meat cleaver..... yet the mother doesn’t die because each one of those arteries has a sphincter at the end that immediately closes, keeping the mother from bleeding to death.

How long do you think it took for evolution to get that right?

I always wanted evolution to explain the sphincter muscle in the anus...........................

I may need some time to research the specific questions you raise here. I don't know if evolutionary biologists have developed a reasonable explanation for them, or whether they have not.

One thing I do believe is that proofs for intelligent design (if such are found, I'm not at all disputing the possibility) do not by any means imply that the designer is himself outside the laws of nature, nor that the designer has any emotional investment in humanity.

Here's a question for you to think about. Could God create a circle whose circumference is exactly 3.0000 times its diameter? What would that circle look like? And if he could not, why not??
