Darwinists don’t know their own history. Sad panda is sad. :(
My dear FRiend, your cartoon shows what evolutionists do. They can’t stand the notion of God creating the earth in six days and all very good. They are determined to find an alternate version of creation. They come up with the conclusion of evolution and then make up or misapply facts to support it.
“So we have observations of monkeys becoming people?”
Ah yes. And gobs of evolutionary links.
Also, we’ve observed life coming from non-life.
And beneficial mutations.

>>They can’t stand the notion of God creating the earth in six days and all very good.<<
But it says in Genesis 1:2 that the earth was without form and void. If that was the first thing He did it doesn’t sound like that was very good.
If A stawman is the best you have then I guess you have to go with it...nice try better luck next time.
You are incorrect the Evolutionary theory does not address the origin of life.
It is no valid objection that science as yet throws no light on the far higher problem of the essence or origin of life ~ Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species (1909), 519-520
But nice straw man…good try!
Kind of hard to get past the fact that speciation has never been observed and so is not established as factual.
And I don’t know why a pastor would want to bend his beliefs merely so they will fit an antiquated proposition which is defied by the fossil record.
Strawman?
So say I buy the existance of an unobserved ‘common ancestor’ between all the different races of apes and men.
Can you tell me the identity of said ‘common ancestor’? It’s taxonomy?
The scientific theory of evolution has shown that modern humans and “monkeys” share a common ancestor...Doesn’t the 9th commandment say something about bearing false witness?
No, misotheists have claimed that their interpretation of the evidence allows a statistical probability that "monkeys" and modern humans share a common ancestor. To say otherwise makes you guilty of "bearing false witness".
First year history of science class. Ought to be required reading for everyone.
We read the original Origin of Species and the Descent of Man. History of Science is a fascinating discipline, and I ended up switching over. I loved examining the process by how scientists made the discoveries that they did.
That other scientists and scientists in general are unaware of this process shows their lack of understanding of the scientific method.
Lamarckian descent is interesting to say the least.
Lifc cannot come from non-life is drawn from the First Law of Thermodynamics.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics deals with entropy and thus things go from order to disorder.
I realize that - I’m sorry I guess I did not state it clearly. What I am trying to commmunicate it that evolution has many unanswered questions including where the human mind originated (with all its complexities) and where the soul/spirit of man came from. In creation those origins are anwered.
A major evolutionary innovation has unfurled right in front of researchers' eyes. It's the first time evolution has been caught in the act of making such a rare and complex new trait.Link
Good try but your straw man will not work here.
The First Law of Thermodynamics refers to the fact that energy can neither be created, nor destroyed, but transformed from one form to another - at least until nuclear physics came along and showed that mass can be converted to actually create energy. It tells next to nothing, if not nothing, about whether life can come from non-life or not.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics, for application, requires the condition that the there exist a containment of energy within the system. The Earth, however, receives trillions of megajoules of energy from the Sun and other sources, and hence, the application of the Second Law requires careful consideration of this fact. Things can go from disorder to order, within a system (the Earth) when energy is input into the system.
[They also realize that things move from order to disorder not the other way around.]
Except in instances where one system gains order at the expense of another.
The relationship between the Earth’s Biosphere and the Sun, for example.
The question of where the soul/sprit of man came from is a religious question which is the reason that creationist attempt to answer the question, it is not a question that science can answer since it deals with the supernatural…so it is still a straw man and not a vaild argument.
"Except in instances where one system gains order at the expense of another. The relationship between the Earth’s Biosphere and the Sun, for example."
What order does the earth's biosphere gain at what cost in order from the Sun?
