You can’t have evolution without death.

As a side note to the question that Evolutions WILL NOT TOUCH:

the beginnings of LIFE

Not speculating at all about HOW life first appeared; but I wonder...

...just how many times did Life appear from the so-called Primordial Goo; before it got tired of dying out and deciding:

I'd better learn how to REPRODUCE the next time I spontaneously appear.

I kinda adhere to the missing link between insects and other living creatures.

SURELY that would be a LOT easier to find.

I like the oil eating ones.

Scientists stumbled upon a plastic-eating bacterium—then accidentally made it stronger

“I like the oil eating ones.”

Yes, and some of them mutated into plastic eaters.

“Yes, and some of them mutated into plastic eaters.”

They didn’t mutate they simply turned on and off DNA code that was already present in their cells.

The mutation caused them to turn on their dna

IAW with Genesis 1 all animals were created IAW their kinds meaning God put all the DNA code needed to make every animal that has ever existed. That doesn’t mean every animal we know today was on the Ark, but the DNA code was already present in every animal, that’s not evolution.

Just look at your children and/or siblings and you can see a diverse set of traits that are not obviously present in the two parents, but yet they do indeed contain that DNA whether expressed in their external traits or not.

“The mutation caused them to turn on their dna”

or the DNA switched on and off and appears to man’s understanding as a mutation, but in reality is the grand design of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

Nobody denies that evolution/mutations within species happened and is happening - just not trans-mutational evolution. The absence of transitional forms were and will continue to be a huge embarrassment to evolutionists. Even “accelerated equilibrium” won’t explain it. I suspect the reason so many continue to cling to it because the only alternative is creation.

To make matters worse in the Corvette to submarine analogy, each resulting vehicle must be operable and useful.

AND be able to reproduce itself!

I’m guessing that the oil eating bacteria were/are constantly reproducing (or whatever bacteria do!) and many of them have the plastic eating DNA in them. But - before plastic came around, they just died.

Like the “adaptation” of the white moths to the dark moths in England - the pollution on the light-colored trees and the moths “adapted” dark colors.

And later, once the pollution was gone and the trees were their natural lighter color again, the moths “adapted” and “became” light colored.

It is the same type of moth - it’s just that the white ones got eaten quickly, and the dark ones survived to reproduce more. And now, the light ones survive and the dark ones get eaten. The only thing that changed was the NUMBER of light vs. dark moths.

The fact the species are labeled and grouped


Do you understand how artificial that labeling and grouping is?

However; Science HAS proven; beyond a shodow of a doubt; that if your grandparents never had any children; the odds of you having any are a virtual zero.
