Evolution, where's the Link? (Saturbray)

Why do we assume scientists are always right?

Because it's SCIENCE!

[Alter Kaker]

Why aren't there lots of transitional fossils all over the place?

Well, actually, there are.

Wikipedia List of Transitional Fossils

Aside from that one, erroneous, contention, not sure there's any substance to this post. But thanks for playing!

I have read that Darwin's departure from his belief in God (which he had) and Creation, to his Evolutionary model is in part due to his observations of cats and wasps.

Cats often play with their prey after capture, seemingly torturing them to death. Wasps lay their eggs inside of caterpillars. The eggs hatch and eat the caterpillar alive as they develop and hatch, slowly killing the caterpillar.

From this, Darwin determined there is no God, because no God would make creatures whose design would intentionally cause other creatures to suffer unneedlessly.

Another retard speaks. Evolution is about speciation. The creation of life comes under the science of abiogenesis.

[Natufian]

I hate to nit pick but I think it’s reasonable to assert that every fossil ever found and every living thing on this planet is transitional to some degree or other.

You do realize...That quoting wikipedia is like quoting a coloring book? Anybody can edit it. I could roll over to wikipedia right now, erase that page, and render your post wholly without substance.

Thank YOU for playing.

There is only one logical answer and that is that man did not evolve from the Great Apes but came from somewhere else

This game had a chance a decade ago, not any more. The reason? Reference footnotes. Wiki articles are filled with them, and claims are usually linked to reputed science publications.

So... thank you for playing!

unneedlessly. ?

You understand that as a writer, you subject yourself to criticism - allow me to criticize. The first couple of paragraphs are so full of falsehoods, logical fallacies, and inane misunderstandings that I couldn't get any further. Here are two pieces of advice - don't try to write about things of which you obviously know nothing, and find a new hobby, preferably one you won't feel compelled to share with other. Thanks.

Have you ever thought to consider that by insisting on this “Earth is flat” attitude you are driving people FROM God? That you are sending the signal that only those with invincible ignorance are righteous? Mankind’s view of God has changed many times but He is there for the long haul and can survive a change in the creation story. Insisting on a story made long ago by people ignorant of just how vast and glorious God’s universe is only succeeds in scaring away reasonable people from God.

Not sure if wikopedia is of any value? Same old thug tactic of dehumanizing your questioner and never answering the question. An early octopus is hardly a new species.

How about a discussion rather than a food fight to defend your dying faith.

Try again without the thug tactic.

Ah the old, Christians should be seen but not heard. Have you ever considered the possibility that evolution has holes in it you can drive a train through? Have you ever considered Darwin may have been wrong? No of course not.

Pray for America

I can tell you this, bud, NO ONE RESPECTS WIKIPEDIA, nor does it deserve any respect. It is merely a place to start, sort of like a hornbook.

Guess Wikopedia may want to take the Conodate out of their list: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/archive/permalink/the_himalayan_fossils_hoax

This should be fun exposing the evolutionary frauds through the decades. But then again, you must be a evolutionary believing scientist to have an opinion on evolution. Otherwise you are just a Neanderthal and invalidated.

Interestingly from Socrates until a few hundred years ago, spontaneous generation was an accepted “scientific” theory of life. Then, through careful experimentation, spontaneous generation was discredited and no one believes in it today. Abiogenesis, though, is another matter. That’s spontaneous generation billions of years ago in an atmosphere and under conditions totally inimical to life.
