Look, Quetzal, Im 18 years old and Ive just recently developed an interest for this kind of issues.
Its unfair of you to suggest that my questions would represent Islamic viewpoints of the creation, Im only trying to learn.
And forget the idea that I jump from thread to thread, if you really were honest, then you would have included my second topic in your reply were it clearly states that the example of the human eyebrow was only to make a point, to tell a similarity.
You should have included this quote by Tranquility Base: "Statements of 'paraphylicity' or 'convergent evolution' or 'this fossil was folded in' are rarely facts They are suppositions consistent with the evolutionary framework and do not rule out alternative viewpoints. Within your framework they are highly logical observations and exceptions"
And who am I to know everything, this is a debate, right? So if I write a topic that isnt accurate in its information, then Im sorry.
But my idea of it was that when that happens, people who are more experienced than me would let me know that in a nice way.
Not throwing it on my face on another topic hoping to discredit me, if that was your goal then you have succeded, congrats!
JM: The problem is that you come on here challenging evolution as if you had some deep insight into the problems. When asked for details, you shrink away. If you want detailed discussion, then argue from knowledge rather than falling back on ignorance when challenged! You'll get plenty of discussion. For example, why did you not bother to read about Gould's explanations for the lack of transitionals? One idea is that evolution is not always gradual, but includes saltatory periods (punctuated equilibria). Anyway, if you are confrontational in your approach, don't be surprised if people respond in kind!
