No Creationism in 6000 years...
The term ‘evolution’ is more flexible than ‘budget cut’ in a political campaign. It can mean change, no change, backward forward, sideways, so anything, everything, and nothing demonstrates evolution.
Ah yes, the obligatory Saturday night discussion on evolution v creationism … ho hum.
I saw that ‘cow turning into a whale’ thing last year at the county circus. And the girl with three breasts.
Really?
Explain bacterial resistance to the Sulfonamides which was zero in the 1930's and is about 99% now.
Explain bacterial resistance to the Penicilloic Acid derivatives which was zero in the 1940's and is about 59% now.
You could argue that it is God intervening on a daily basis, but that seems a bit extreme, and He has bigger fish to fry.
Let science be science, let faith be faith.
The more I have studied science (three college degrees now) the more I see God's face.
ALL this did not just happen, or maybe it did, but God's subtle hand is involve either way.
I believe that people that try to use science to justify their faith, don't have faith, and are doubting themselves. Embrace your faith, embrace science, they both pay homage to the Creator.
If you want to see some evolution, go look at a potato.
The original potato didn’t grow in the ground, and wasn’t white.
Ummm... Let’s see... a couple thousand years ago people were averaging about 5 to 8 inches shorter (adult height) than they are today. Isn’t that proof of an evolution that has occurred recently? Or will the bar be set ever-higher to ignore that living things do actually change and evolve? Natural selection is normal and will continue, even if there are examples that can be pointed to that might not follow the same pattern as other examples.
The ancestors of giraffes had shorter necks and legs, then they slowly evolved into the animals we have today.
If a woman is given the choice of breeding with a tall muscular healthy man or a shorter, weaker less-than-alpha man, who will she choose? Her offspring will take on some of the genetic traits of the father and the children will be different than if she had borne children with the other man. To deny that species will evolve is asinine and flies in the face of conclusive proof.
That's an important one to remember. You may be looking at one genus, but hundreds of adapted, evolved species.
Ha, ha, ha! Thanks for the proof you deny.
You pick a miraculously stable area, where plants and animals have thrived, burgeoned, and bloomed for millenia, where sunlight and steady rain have made an Eden for countless centuries, where tree frogs and flying reptiles abound in multicolor variegations, where ants drown in pitcher plants, except for the ants which have evolved to swim in the dissolving liquid, and consume their hapless cousins.
And you think, because they have erupted, nay, exploded in diversity and mutual dependence, that there is no evidence of evolution.
You do not see the forest for the ecosystem.
There you go again, GGG. Being all “uneducated” and such./sarc
