$50 to anyone who can prove to me Evolution is a lie.

Hi, all!I'm issuing a pre-emptive Forum Guidelines advisory in case discussion becomes more heated. Please, anyone who sometime down the road finds their posting privileges have been suspended, do not take it personally. Just send email to Admin saying you'll follow the guidelines and your posting privileges will be restored.This topic has been meandering through various evidences for evolution, with the lastest being the evolution of instinct. So far the vagueness of the topic hasn't been a problem, but Fred Williams has just introduced several new topics, and so it now becomes important to enforce the guidelines so we're not discussing multiple topics in a single thread. Please open new threads for new topics.I recommend members take a quick look at the guidelines. When discussion is calm they're not much called upon, but when things become difficult or heated then they'll be more regularly enforced.------------------

Mammuthus and Quetzal:You probably didn't see the previous forum guidelines advisory before replying to Fred. Hopefully this is 'nuf said.To all:In order to prevent this thread from becoming a grab bag of topics, the following topics should be discussed in other threads:

• Evolution's original definition was "the naturalistic origin of life from non-life" (Fred).
  ​
• Evolution can only cause small scale changes (Fred).
  ​
• ...the age for MtDNA Eve suddenly shrunk from 300K to 6K years old. (Fred).
  ​
• ... the now tenuous claim that MtDNA is only passed down by the mother (Fred).
  ​
• There are different and conflicting theories of evolution (Fred).
  ​
• Information theory (Quetzal). There's a currently open thread on this topic in the Evolution forum: Information and Genetics.

If necessary this thread will be temporarily closed in order to encourage discussion to move to the proper venues.------------------
