Summations Only

Welcome home, glad you came and look forward to your finally learning the truth.We determine the same way that we determined that you are descended from earlier primates; by looking at the physical evidence. Remember the evolution of what was to become whales was worked out before DNA was a tool, but it has helped confirm the relationship.

Remember that it is unlikely anything happened quickly and that the critters diverged gradually. The important point is that it is divergence of a population into two populations that we are talking about.

Speaking as a Christian, I do not think the comments were at all uncalled for and in fact such comments are not just justified but need to be heard more often.Creationism and Intelligent Design are the products of the Christian Cult of Ignorance and one characteristic of that is that there is no culture of honesty similar to what is found in science.Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

Are you claiming that 49,920 transition steps are missing?

Remember that you are talking about 50 to 60 million years for closing the Tethys Ocean, maybe longer.

I am even willing to drop down to 10 million years, but consider even that.

Yet again you are simply showing your utter ignorance. All of the major Christian sects oppose the nonsense that is Creationism and Intelligent design as well as the attempts to try to pretend either is science.It is not simply atheists that support both the fact of evolution and the Theory of Evolution as the only explanation for what is seen in reality.

Whether you mention Creationism or Intelligent design has nothing to do with the fact that all of the major Cristian denominations acknowledge both the fact of evolution and that the Theory of Evolution is the only explanation for the reality seen.There are NO competing theories that can explain the reality of living critters seen today or in the past.

If you can show where I lied please do so.Whether you mention Creationism or Intelligent design has nothing to do with the fact that all of the major Cristian denominations acknowledge both the fact of evolution and that the Theory of Evolution is the only explanation for the reality seen.There are NO competing theories that can explain the reality of living critters seen today or in the past.Remember, on this board we can easily sort all of our responses in a thread and so see exactly what we said in that thread.Edited by jar, : add last line as a clue to the clueless

Yes, you are free to remain ignorant. Yet the fact remains that the Roman Catholic church is another of the major denominations that stands against the nonsense of Creationism or Intelligent design being included in science education.

there are no Creation Scientists and cannot be Creation Scientists. Anyone claiming to be a Creation Scientists is by definition a liar.

To the best of my knowledge no one but Creationists would ever say something that silly or misuse terms so completely.

That would be better but still meaningless and worthless. And that is simply another really ignorant statement as expected. How life began has absolutely nothing to do with either the fact of evolution or that the Theory of Evolution is the only explanation for what is sen in reality.And that still has nothing to do with the fact that whale evolution is great support for both the fact that evolution happens and that the Theory of Evolution is the only explanation for the reality seen around us.

And even abiogenesis does not say "that all life evolved from a single-cell organism" or the fact that whale evolution is great support for both the fact that evolution happens and that the Theory of Evolution is the only explanation for the reality seen around us.I really have to wonder if you have any point? First, you find someone other than a Creationist that thinks there is such a theory.The first step would be for you to learn some basic terminology; what a theory is, what a hypothesis is, you know, the stuff taught in elementary school.Then you try to post something that has some relation to the topic.Edited by jar, : hit wrong key.

Sorry but I lost no such argument. Yes, Roman Catholicism allows people to continue holding absurd positions like Creationism but it still is among the denominations where representatives have publicly opposed teaching Creation Science in public schools.Yes, you are way off topic. However the important information is that evolution is a fact and the Theory of Evolution is the only explanation for what is seen in reality, that whale evolution is a great example and the literal account found in Genesis 1 has been refuted by reality and is also contradicted by the other account found in Genesis 2.Yes, people are free to remain ignorant.
