Evolution: If It Walks Like a Fish ...

[BigDyl]

What is even more irratating about crap like this is not one of my posts is trying to convince anyone that God exists or that the world was created in 6 days.

A slam is more effective if you know what the fuck is being discussed.

Where does Rob find these mods? Geez.

Why can't both exist?

 

[Vieope]

Mainly, the fossil record.

The inability to explain how developing "features" like wings or eyes are an advantage that allows that interation to survice. Clearly vision and flight are advantages, but evolution does not teach that suddenly a bird had wings..the wing developed...how is 5% of a wing an advantage.

I just don't think it is a plausible theory. I understand why non-Christians question creation but I don't understand why they just accept evolution.

Sure it explains it. Take the eye for example, we have a third eye inside of our brain called pineal gland, it is sensible to the light like our normal eyes but it doesnt function as much as the third eye in birds or other animals where it has a more important use of regulating the biological clock, we still do that but not as much as birds. So it is retracting to inside of the brain, in birds it can be found near the skull.

Nipples, tails and nails are another example. When a fetus is growing it looks like many animals during each phase. There is a time when we have more than three pairs of nipples because some time ago we had many children at once. There are many features in the human body that are not useful anymore and they are starting to disappear but it is very difficult ot notice it becuase humans live for a long time. You can look at evolution by examining things that live a lot less like parasites or virus. Virus adapt to new vaccines and each generation becomes stronger. Small insects or plants are a good way of looking at it too.

they can IMO.

Why can't both exist?

Because they both try to discredit the other. The ID people who say that evolution is the tool with which God made man is messed up considering these "Gaps in the fossil record" exist.

I don't know what the answer is, I just know that, to me, there is much more evidence for evolution than creationism.

How does an eyeball come to be? Is it created out of dust as part of the final product by 'God?' Or does it start as cells w/ a senitivity to certain lengths of electromagnetic radiation which becomes more sophisticated over time through a process of selection; developing as the organism develops?

Forget the science for a moment. The god story is surrender. The cell story is not. Neither explanation is complete but the cell story makes the noble effort for a systematic explanation--a precursor to scientific knowledge. The god story rolls over giving up.

Why question anything? Just point to god and say, 'divine will.' No explanation sought or required. He's the tall guy w/ the beard and toga.

I thought he meant why can't god and evolution both exist.

 

[Dale Mabry]

Oh, I believe they can as well, just that religion is too self-serving, not that science isn't.

If you are a creationist then evolution cannot possibly exist. Doctrinal coherence would be threatened. Either god created life as is, in kind or He did not.

Evolutionists are not necessarily bound to one metaphysical origin of life. Life could be created by a god or by an ambitious universe...or aliens. Once life is there though, look out for evolution.

it was a joke butthole.

maybe you should lighten up and watch who you are directing your profanities at? just a thought for you to consider.

God could not have used evolution as His means of creation?

I don't believe that but many do.

..and most evolutionists would rather shave their head with a cheese grater than to admit God or any ID was involved in the evolution of life.

Two days after Tax day God doesn't allow humor on Sunday's

But god doesnt exist how can he create anything?

Taxes are due on 4-17

 

[Dale Mabry]

Why do people wait so long to do their taxes, ridiculous.

 

[Pepper]

Alot of them are waiting on K-1s from their business or investments. Many partnerships have interests in other partnerships, so a delay at one business could hold up other businesses and by the time it gets to the individual, it's May.

My largest cllent, we don't get the K-1s out until August so every partner HAS TO extend their return.

And we know this b/c the fossil record is just FULL of transitional species bridging the gap between ape and man..oh.wait..nevermind...

If there were no fossils at all, maybe I'd start believing in God's creation.

I was trying my hardest to stay out of this thread, but this post makes so little sense, I can't help it.

Are you joking?
