The headline and article are nothing but a cheap attempt to supply Creationists who barely passed their 8th-grade science class with some handy rhetorical ammunition to smugly fend off (not really refute) pro-evolution arguments.

"See! Even lots of scientists and atheists say that Darwinism is flawed!"

(In reality, these experts are essentially quibbling over details, not attacking foundational theory.)

So now these Creationists can deliver their verbal broadsides - without ever actually trying to grasp what these critics are really saying (hint: they are still materialists, still proceed from the plausible assumption that only prosaic geo-physical and biochemical mechanisms and processes gave rise to Life).

Regards,

Will it be plausible for you to claim invincible ignorance at your special judgment?

Exactly what is evolution? It's an unseen (metaphysical) energy that supposedly works on matter over billions of years. Ancients called this energy serpent power. Hindus call it goddess kundalini.

Has this energy ever been observed or sensed in any way? No. So evolution is not empirical science but occult scientism.

Darwinism is a hoax, the same as global warming/cooling/change.

Wow. You’re trying to start an old fashioned Crevo thread.

What I find fascinating is how many Democrats are atheists, who believe in natural selection through adapting to environment. Yet they refuse to believe that government policies can shape people's behavior (i.e. generations of the welfare state making people less self-reliant, or the Laffer Curve in which lowering tax rates result in increased government revenue, etc.).

You'd think I, who believes we're created by God, would be one of the last to believe that government can change society, and the atheist Dims would be the first to believe it.

Wow. Guess everything is always about how stupid the other tribe is?

What these atheists are saying is how Darwinism utterly fails to explain how life began. The one scientist also commented on our newly found understanding of the enormous complexity of the self-regulating systems within the cell that eliminate roughly 99% of DNA mutations before they ever have a chance to manifest themselves.

Must be my 8th grade education talking.

You may wish to familiarize yourself with talks by and interviews with one Pam Acker, and see if your thinking changes.

We’re about to embark on a whirlwind tour of the battle of science vs. the religion of evolution, guided by Pamela Acker, through the complex world of young Earth creationism, skepticism toward evolution, and the scientific debates that these views provoke. The journey will take us from our personal perspectives to the cutting-edge realms of genetics and radiocarbon dating. We’ll be revealing our transformation from evolutionists to young Earth creationists, sharing our experiences, and shedding light on contentious issues like the acceptance of evolution within the Catholic community and the dating of dinosaur bones.

Join us as we unpack the controversy surrounding the discovery of soft tissue in dinosaur bones and how it shook the foundations of traditional biochemistry. We’ll also take you through the misconceptions around genetics and evolution, particularly the disputed similarities between humans and chimpanzees. Our conversation doesn’t shy away from controversial theories, like the one suggesting humans must have had ancestors who laid eggs. If that’s not enough, we’ll also dive deep into the fascinating realm of genetic entropy and its implications for our understanding of evolution and cosmology.

We’re thrilled to have Pamela Acker from the Kolbe Center joining us as we navigate the intriguing intersection of evolution and religion. She’ll shed light on the potential impact of genetic entropy on the future of humanity. As we wrap up, we’ll discuss the importance of supporting the Kolbe Center in its mission to promote the truth of creation. So, hold onto your seats and brace yourselves for an exhilarating ride through young Earth creationism, evolution, and everything in between.
