Not quite. Newtonian physics is still accurate in its original context. Very little of what Darwin proposed is defensible in any context.
Obviously not. I recommend picking up a good geology text.
Nonsense. If evolution were true all species would be in transition. If evolution were true practically every fossil should be an intermediate. That is why Darwin proposed that humans with the wrong brachyo-cephalic index were inferior, he had to show, even amongst the most recent creatures that they were in transition. Of course he was wrong about that just as he was wrong about almost everything he said. That is why evolutionists are ashamed of his work and almost never cite it.
Dinosaurs and other critters???? Show me, without using magic how it could be otherwise.
I only implied that the decay of plant material into oil need not take millions of years.
I think that the universe is about 13 Billion years old. You appear to think it is 6000 years old. I will reduce my estimate to 1 million years and that would mean that you should be able to make oil overnight.
Stay safe; stay armed.
I want a simply answer from you tonight.
Yes or No.
Oh, I see, I should have posted the entire Descent of Man. Tell you what, you read that drivel and report back to us. However, if you want more juicy quotes from Darwin, I'll be glad to provide them.
As I pointed out the quote is central to his theory, it is not out of place. Besides, he took ten years to write the Descent, he had plenty of time to consider whether he wanted people to read those words.
Yes or No, is Evolution absolutly false and my belief in magic correct?
Dinosaurs and other critters???? Show me, without using magic how it could be otherwise.
There is far more vegetable matter on earth than animal matter. Thus, I think it reasonable to assume most oil comes from decaying vegetation rather than animals.
However, it is a moot point. Billions of animals died in the flood. That is where oil came from.

Non sequitor. I am not obliged to change my position simply because you changed yours.
And yet the Egyptians and Chinese not only survived aforesaid flood - they didn't even notice it. Amazing...
I suspect he's ignoring you because he finds your question to be loaded.
And it is. It is a false dilemma. Proving evolution to be false doesn't prove magic to be right. Of course, it doesn't prove Christianity either, and I suspect that is your whole point.
But it doesn't matter. Evolution is still false regardless of whether or not God exists or the Bible is true.
Hey Dimensio, why don't you argue with what I posted? Why don't you refute the statements I have made? Why don't you post what you disagree with?
That's the way to have a discussion. Obviously you are unable to disprove my statement so you have to ignore the evidence for my conclusion.
As a Witch, I believe very strongly in magic.
Yes or No, is Evolution absolutly false and my belief in magic correct?
No, it is insufficient and incomplete. Newtonian physics was an accurate description of the universe to the extent that Newton knew it, which was nowhere near its full extent.
Look you. I am not going to describe the equines ability to evolve its immunity to suit its local infectious environment again. If you didn't get it the first time, I am sure glad your not a farrier.
You are redefining terms. An intermediate form is an organism somewhere between one species and the next higher species. The differences between the rungs on the evolutionary ladder are immense; the gaps between them are so great as to call into question whether or not there is any connection at all between them.
Nope, it is not out of context. It shows how he concludes that the eye evolved. It is charlatanism at its finest. He admits he has no evidence. He wants people to make a leap of faith. Sorry, that's not science.
But the horse is not changing species. It is still a horse before and after its immmune system adapts.
He was correct. We can depart friends, one right, one deluded.
Stay safe; stay armed.
Aaah but there's a difference. As you so well point out, Newtonian physics has been very fruitful in enlarging our knowledge. However, evolution has always led us onto the wrong path. Spontaneous generatio, inferior races, melding of traits, junk DNA, and much more. So evolution has been disproven much more than once and has led to wasteful research and hindering of research more than once. Like I said, it's time to be done with it before it does any more harm.
