The phrase "Evolution is a fact"

Beretta, I can't find a good reference for changing alligators into ostriches, but would changing one species of bacteria into another impress you? This has been done artificially in Craig Venter's lab when they managed to produce digitally designed life (see thread Digital Life Design”What a concept!).”FTF

I like this. It is profoundly true and hard to overemphasize. Why not two, or three, or more? Because the first ones to pop out ate all the late comers? No, there's got to be a better explanation.”FTF

I always thought my Uncle Howard was slime of the bacterial kind, until he managed to evolve into a decent human being later on. Just joking about that, of course, but you make an interesting statement. You want science to show you factually how bacteria could have evolved into humans. I'll admit that scientists would be hard pressed to back up that claim with empirical evidence. The fossil record is good, but necessarily spotty. Alien implantations notwithstanding, I don't know how humans could not have arrived here any other way.OK, there is no factual record of any slimy bug evolving into a human being. So, if I were you, I wouldn't believe any of it. Now, you and all the other Creatins believe that humans didn't evolve from anything. Instead, we are all endowed by God with "souls," and that He somehow is vested therein. I've checked up on your belief and I can't find any evidence to support it. There are no pickled souls anywhere in the dusty archives of the Smithsonian. How is it that you have chosen to reject what science says about Darwinian evolution in favor of what your religion says about God-endowed souls? And why would you and all the other Creatins claim that I have a God-given soul, too? I've checked several times and there is no such thing residing within the boundaries of my being.Hey, maybe I'm just slime, like Uncle Howard was before he became a human.”FTF

No, but a different kind of "organism" could peacefully occupy the niche next door, which also happens in ecology. I know you are aware that your Darwin's finches were aliens to the islands and probably came in on a storm. There was an establish source of finches from the mainland. So, to make your analogy work for abiogensis, you have to invoke panspermia.”FTF

And yet if God says, "It's headed to Perth, my child," you'd have no problem believing it? And your evidence is exactly what? After all, you're the one calling for evidence.”FTFEdited by Fosdick, : No reason given.
