Author | Topic: Where is the evidence for evolution? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DanskerMan Inactive Member |
That's a very good question..and the answer is the evidence points toward creation and not evolution. As you'll see if you really seek the truth, there is no evidence for macro-evolution (changing from one species to another gradually over time)..however there is variation within a species, as in different kinds of dogs, or finches or salmon...but these species never become a different species...this kind of minor variation within the species is called micro-evolution. You'll see that nobody argues over that one. But it seems that every evolutionist wants to extrapolate micro to macro by arguing that if little changes can happen why can't big?
In reality, you have probably noticed that everything around you has been designed by an intelligent designer (cars, houses, bridges, watches, etc)...life and this universe we live in, is so much more complex than those things...only an Intelligent Designer (God) could have created it. Try these instead: Creation SuperLibrary [HOME] - a feature of ChristianAnswers.NetNorthwest Creation Network Page not found | Creation Safaris Answers in Genesis http://www.trueorigin.org/ The Institute for Creation Research | The Institute for Creation Research ------------------"You can no more alter God than a pebble can alter the rhythm of the Pacific."

Your definition of evolution is then something like "gradual change over time"...that's fine for things like car "evolution", but that doesn't explain macro-evolution. Also, like the watch, ALL the components were DESIGNED, they didn't just magically make themselves from star dust and then adhere and interlock with each other to form a watch by unbelievable odds. A designer or designers, were involved in your information scenario. We can't escape the reality that time, chance and natural accidents cannot create what only a Supreme God CAN!!

schraf: "I notice that sonnike urges you to read religious websites instead of science websites to learn about science."
--------------- Nice try schraf. My websites are no more religious/non-science than yours are. Your religion is just different ie. evo-dogma. Calling a "car" a "bicycle", doesn't make it a bicycle. Don't try to pretend that evo-dogma is un-biased science. ------------------"You can no more alter God than a pebble can alter the rhythm of the Pacific."

schraf: "I would encourage you to look at all kinds of sites and to judge for yourself which ones have the most sound research and logic and verifiability behind them."
-------------------------------------------- This might be a once in a lifetime thing, but I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with that statement! Study BOTH sides, and see which makes more sense. Regards,S ------------------"You can no more alter God than a pebble can alter the rhythm of the Pacific."

The problem is not WHETHER dr. Borger can educate you fine people, but rather if you are WILLING to clear your minds of your pre-conceived views, and learn something new.
cheers,S

"I asked for the link to this psper, and I read it and understood it, and the authors were NOT claiming anything at all about intelligent design of the horse leg. They used the words "apparent design" to make the distinction between what used to be understood about why this particular muscle was so large and what this new research has uncovered, which was that the muscle was so large because it absorbed a lot of vibration during the gallop, not because it needed to be so large to move the limb."
---------------------------------------- You said it though Schraf,... "apparant design" that is just the evolutionary blindfold that prevents you from recognizing ACTUAL design. For years this horse fallacy has been "preached" as evolutionary proof of horse evolution, until they realized the function. Now it is called "apparant" design. If you would simply accept your Maker, you could appreciate such wonderful actual design. If I tried to convince you or anyone else that the Eiffel tower was not designed and that it came together by time, chance and natural selection...I would be laughed off the face of this earth...yet the dogma of anti-God evolutionary thinking is literally FORCED upon the un-questioning public. Regards,S p.s. I do have one other thing in common with you...I looove food! ------------------"You can no more alter God than a pebble can alter the rhythm of the Pacific."

David: (S:If I tried to convince you or anyone else that the Eiffel tower was not designed and that it came together by time, chance and natural selection...I would be laughed off the face of this earth)
Using the same logic: If I tried to convince the world iron is a liquid, I would be laughed of the face of the earth. Therefore, water must be a solid. S: uuuh no..that's just silly (S:Yet the dogma of anti-God evolutionary thinking is literally FORCED upon the un-questioning public.) David: Evolution is a theory based on that which we observe, not an attempt to offend the religious. Why you think any form of science is 'forced' upon the unquestioning public I don't know. Especially as religious study is compulsary in just about every school on the planet, yet science is just brushed upon. S: So that's why we have science teachers saying things like: "We have fossil evidence for evolution. It's a fact. And I'll dare to say it. It's a fact," said Frisby, who teaches at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School, outside Kansas City. "What else will the state board do? Will they take out verbs from English for some political or religious reason?"Error Oh no, that doesn't sound dogmatic at all....

Schraf: "Um, yes, you would be laughed off the face of the Earth, because the Eiffel tower and other inanimate manmade objects DON'T REPRODUCE. Only things that are ALIVE and REPRODUCE are subject to evolutionary forces. "
-------------------------------- Yes I know you people are hooked on that fact and I suppose that that is the blindfold which prevents you from recognizing and appreciating the DESIGNED world you live in. Well, maybe some day....there's always hope. Regards,S ------------------"You can no more alter God than a pebble can alter the rhythm of the Pacific."

quote:All you observe is variation within a species, NOT variation mutating to a higher organsism. You observe micro-evolution, de-volution. You people with your bogus magic wand which determines what does and does not qualify as design. Your "evolutionary forces" have never been observed to add complexity and new information to an organism causing it to change into a higher organism of a different species. You are blind because you do not recognize the REAL force, namely the Creator, Jesus Christ. ...There is still hope for you though.

quote:LOL...love those bloody englishmen. Haven't we been thru this before? The barrier is that there is only so much information in the genome, and the information required to change a fish into a reptile say, is NOT THERE, and it will NEVER generate by random mutation and natural selection. Let me ask you something, why do you presume that it could happen in 60,000 generations? cheers,S ------------------"You can no more alter God than a pebble can alter the rhythm of the Pacific."

quote:First of all, the article is clear that they can still interbreed, and that it's not really a separate species as you might like: "Hendry says that the differences documented are less than those typically used to delineate separate species. The key focus of this paper is that the processes leading to speciation can happen much more quickly than anyone had previously supposed, he says." To answer your question, the information that allowed this variation was programmed in the genome from the beginning. Nothing new was added.

quote:(emphasis added) Gee, if I didn't know any better, I would say that it sounds an awful lot like INTELLIGENCE that which you are describing.Words like "source", "pruning mechanism" and "decides"....doesn't sound like a random un-guided naturalistic accidental phenomenon to me...

SLPx, would any answer actually satisfy you and possibly convince you?
