Good job. Start a fight for no reason. Good boy.

One of the problems with the “fossil record” is the assumption of what it actually is.

If you assume that it corresponds to long periods of time, you’ll interpret it one way,
and if you assume “billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the earth” by a catastropic event, over a period of just a few years,
you’ll interpret it another way.

Its so much more in vogue to deny creatonism — this way we do not have to bother ourselves by contemplating the existence of a Being greater than us.

This also means that we do not have to believe in an absolute truth and can accept any erroneous and fanciful theory and concentrate more on me, me, me.

I’ve yet to see a scientific argument against evolution that didn’t really boil down to “we don’t yet know.” Then again, I’ve yet to see an evolutionist who could bring himself to admit that there’s a lot we don’t yet know. In exchange after exchange, debate after debate, the evolutionists invariably fall back to ad hominid (hee hee) attacks and appeals to authority. They would be more rhetorically effective if they would occasionally admit they don’t know everything. Not holding my breath on that.

Like in quantum mechanics, there must be distinct states that life can attain, called species. There are no transitional states.

I believe in the Prometheus (movie) theory of creation- that a superior HUMAN life created the precursors of all life up until humanity was reconstituted. Once you have humans, you will very soon have the knowledge of life and therefore any sort of evolution will be controlled by humans. God was truly created in our image and we will soon know this. Very soon we will be in complete control over the life forms on this planet, so it would be impossible for others to emerge dominant.

Creationism was invented by people with a peculiar interpretation of Genesis with faith is so brittle it can’t admit any other interpretation.

“...the evolutionists invariably fall back to ad hominid (hee hee) attacks...”

You cracked me up.

Darwin’s theory summed up.... some birds evolved longer beaks than other based on environmental factors and geography, this caused mutation on its own. So then lets postulate that there is no God, it was all random chance based on mutations driven by no specific reason or causality. That we must suspend some Laws of Physics to accommodate this Philosophy which was first proposed by a man who early in his career still believed in bloodletting as real medicine. That an astronomical series of events happened, that algae evolved into the Ameoba, the Amoeba evolved into some for of sponge, the sponge avolved into palnkton, plankton to trilobyte, trilobyte to fish, fish to salamander, salamander to lizard, lizard to bird or mammal, to monkey, than ape, than primitive man then us...Here is an illustration of how improbable we evolved from Algae....1 in 153 quadrillion based on the human genome. Now that is something I could get behind../snark. Or you can believe the truth, which was an intelligent creator STARTED the universe and designed it all and us in his own image. Which is a 1 to 1 probability and is consistent with logic and reason.

Evolutionist are a sick deluded bunch and dangerous. I don't want anyone divorced this much from reason and logic doing any teaching or leading. We are seeing the fruits of this now in a avowed evolutionist President.

Evolution Is Not Happening Now

Evolution Of Higher, More Complex Life Forms Has Not Been Observed To Be Happening Now

Our chickens peck at paint dots. They peck and peck and peck. They believe the dots are food. They are not rational, they just believe. It’s fun to watch them for a few moments, then it just gets sad. Buy hey, they are for laying eggs, not debating finer points of logic.

Creationism is the only answer

[MrB]

What gets me is the snarky “you’re anti-science” argument that leftists have been trying to use to shut up those who oppose them.

Science involves repeatability, the ability to conduct a controlled experiment, etc.

It’s a little hard to repeat a controlled experiment on the origins of the universe.

[DManA]

If the question is how do we defend our peculiar (and relatively new ) interpretation of Genisis.

Creationism is the only answer

That was funny!

“No truly new species has ever been produced, let alone a new basic kind.”

Then one must use a different definition of a what constitutes a “species”, say a a slight variation in color or mating habits. There, now new “species” can be found almost at will.

[DManA]

What gets me is the snarky label “leftist” some people use on people who disagree with them.

Henry M. Morris has a BS degree in civil engineering, and MS/Ph.D degrees in hydraulic enginnering. He has no formal degree or training in biology, palentology, or any other science that studies the theory of evolution. His opinions are not based upon science, but upon faith.
