Evolution Not Scientific* |
Evolution Not Scientific*
The "theory of evolution" does not qualify as a scientific theory. Here
are examples to show this to be true:
1. No natural process which resulted in information forming automatically
in matter, has ever been observed. Neither is this possible in the most
spectacular or costly experiments.
2. No transition from one basic kind to another has ever been observed.
(mutational changes in dogs is not an example of this so don't even
try...)
3. The "hypercycle theory" devised by M. Eigen for explaining the origin
of the first life, has never been varified experimentally. And this
conceptual system also does not qualify to be a theory, neither is there
any relation to reality in the theory.
4. The frequently quoted transitional forms and the "missing links" have
never been found. All fossils found represent complete functioning
perfect organisms, many of which are still with us today and
unchanged(e.g.,see Jellyfish fossils).
It has also become clear from the scientific objections discussed that
evolution cannot "deliver the goods" as pretended by its dogmatically
blind supporters. The suppositions and opinion supporting molecules to
men is only the procuct of minds that evidently have not progressed in
their own claimed evolution...

Is there information in a spiral galaxies.
Is there information in a snowflake
Is there information in rock crystals
Is there information in the ripples of wind blown sand.
I just gave you four examples of natural processes that anyone will admit
that they can get information from. And which are being created natural
everyday in a direct conflict of what you said.
2. No transition from one basic kind to another has ever been observed.
(mutational changes in dogs is not an example of this so don't even

Dogs are descended from wolves, are wolves and Chihuahuas the same
"basic Kind" Just because you say it's not an example doesn't make it so
since your not an expert on anything.
Glad you admit though that there are mutational changes in dogs because
that's what makes Greyhounds run faster then a Grey Wolf or a Bloodhound
have better olfactory senses then Wolves which rely mostly on eyesight. This
is of course a beneficial mutation that you say is impossible.
Oh and just in case you want a non dog transitional try this fish with legs
Acanthostega (fish with legs)
http://tolweb.org/tree?group=Acanthostega&contgroup=Terrestrial_Vertebrates
3. The "hypercycle theory" devised by M. Eigen for explaining the origin
of the first life, has never been varified experimentally. And this
conceptual system also does not qualify to be a theory, neither is there
any relation to reality in the theory.
All scientist admit that the first forms of life are yet to be
explained.
4. The frequently quoted transitional forms and the "missing links" have
never been found. All fossils found represent complete functioning
perfect organisms, many of which are still with us today and
unchanged(e.g.,see Jellyfish fossils).
Please give one example of a jellyfish that has gone unchanged from the
fossil record. Just one (scientific name please).
In fact there are not any living decendents of fossilized animals that
have not gone unchanged, that includes colecanths, jellyfish, etc. Evolution
works on everything.
It has also become clear from the scientific objections discussed that
evolution cannot "deliver the goods" as pretended by its dogmatically
blind supporters. The suppositions and opinion supporting molecules to
men is only the procuct of minds that evidently have not progressed in
their own claimed evolution...
Nice sentiments.
Evolution is probably the most confirmed scientific theory on the books,
There are literally thousands of books filled with evidence for evolution.
Not to mention the thousands of museums that are filled with fossils
millions of years old that refute everything you say.
There is not one piece of evidence for the story of creation as related
in the Bible and its time you realized it's an allegory. The vast majority
of Christians already do.

Depends upon the defination of 'natural' What defination are you using?
The Creator wrote the laws of chemistry, physics, as well as morality, and
He is a lawful God, why would He violate His own laws within His
creation? It sounds like the defination of natural that you are using has
a metaphysical component.
2. No transition from one basic kind to another has ever been observed.
(mutational changes in dogs is not an example of this so don't even
try...)
Dogs are descended from wolves, are wolves and Chihuahuas the same
"basic Kind" Just because you say it's not an example doesn't make it so
since your not an expert on anything.
IOW, unless one is a doctor, he can't administer an aspiran, unless he is
an attorney, he can't represent himself in court, not being an expert.
Have you ever read the parable of the Emperor's clothes? Sounds a bit like
intellectual ivory tower snobbery.
Glad you admit though that there are mutational changes in dogs because
that's what makes Greyhounds run faster then a Grey Wolf or a Bloodhound
have better olfactory senses then Wolves which rely mostly on eyesight. This
is of course a beneficial mutation that you say is impossible.
Mutation or intra-species variation? Breeders can enhance basic character
traits already part of the code, but they have never been able to breed
greyhounds that will be a common ancestor of a line of cats.
Oh and just in case you want a non dog transitional try this fish with legs
Acanthostega (fish with legs)
http://tolweb.org/tree?group=Acanthostega&contgroup=Terrestrial_Vertebrates
Quoting from the site:
The relationships of Acanthostega remain unresolved pending a thorough
cladistic analysis, though provisional attempts have suggested that it is
one of the earliest limbed vertebrates (Ahlberg and Milner 1994, Lebedev
and Coates 1995, Carroll 1995, Laurin and Reisz 1997). However, it may be
more closely related to crown tetrapods than to Metaxygnathus and the
recently described Ventastega (Ahlberg 1995).
IOW, the cladograms must be changed again (but they have already been
changed thousands of times already). The operative words are "remain
unresolved" "provisional attempts have suggested", "However, it may be"
Cladograms are based upon the assumption that similarities in animals
suggest that they have a common ancestor, it is equally valid to assume
that they have a common Creator, the caldograms don't even have to change.
3. The "hypercycle theory" devised by M. Eigen for explaining the origin
of the first life, has never been varified experimentally. And this
conceptual system also does not qualify to be a theory, neither is there
any relation to reality in the theory.
All scientist admit that the first forms of life are yet to be
explained.
Some even admit that the appearance of a common ancestor are yet to be
explained.
4. The frequently quoted transitional forms and the "missing links" have
never been found. All fossils found represent complete functioning
perfect organisms, many of which are still with us today and
unchanged(e.g.,see Jellyfish fossils).
Please give one example of a jellyfish that has gone unchanged from the
fossil record. Just one (scientific name please).
No one disputes intra-species variataion and adaption of a species to
environmental conditions. The argument is that tomatoe plants and
giraffes have a common ancestor, not that jellyfish can't adapt to changes
in enviromnent.
In fact there are not any living decendents of fossilized animals that
have not gone unchanged, that includes colecanths, jellyfish, etc. Evolution
works on everything.
Intra-species variation occurs on everything, but that does not validate
that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancesotor.
It has also become clear from the scientific objections discussed that
evolution cannot "deliver the goods" as pretended by its dogmatically
blind supporters. The suppositions and opinion supporting molecules to
men is only the procuct of minds that evidently have not progressed in
their own claimed evolution...
Nice sentiments.
Evolution is probably the most confirmed scientific theory on the books,
Only under the assumption and limiting condition that it is true.
There are literally thousands of books filled with evidence for evolution.
But the same evidence supports the equally valid conslucion that there is
a common Creator as well.
Not to mention the thousands of museums that are filled with fossils
millions of years old that refute everything you say.
Tee hee hee, only under the assumption and limiting condition that tomatoe
plants and giraffes do indeed have or even could have an unproven common
ancestor.
There is not one piece of evidence for the story of creation as related
in the Bible and its time you realized it's an allegory. The vast majority
of Christians already do.
Tee hee hee, fundie evolutionist mantra #55, everyone believes it, you
must be stupid or something. Truth is not a democratic process, if
everyone believs a lie, it is still not truth. There is not sufficent
evidence that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancestor and its
time you realized that its only a hypothesis, and not the only hypothesis.

with *any* degree of accuracy? Why does it not arbitrarily snow in the
summer?

Are you saying that God creates each and every snowflake individually
and
personally?
No, He created the nature that produces snowflakes-they aren't living and

Very good answer. Snowflakes contain a great deal of ordered structure --
information, if you like, produced by natural causes. You get a point.
Or might He have put into His Creation general scientific laws
that *work*, and those properties of nature He created produce the
snowflakes?
He created the nature that produces snowflakes-they aren't living and they
don't evolve.
You answered this one before, so fine. We agree. God created the nature that
produces snowflakes.
If God is personally responsible for the creation and placing of each
individual snowflake, then why are weather forecasters able to forecast
snow
with *any* degree of accuracy?
Because He is a lawful God, and doesn't transgress the laws He wrote.
Good boy! Of course, you mean, "with the exception of miracles", right?
But you admit that God does not take personal responsibility for the
creation and placing of each individual snowflake, that the nature God
created produces them. Placement, then, can be viewed as random, within
certain constraints.
Why does it not arbitrarily snow in the
summer?
Tee hee hee, it would transgress the laws He wrote. BTW, under the lawful
conditions, it sometimes does, especially at 40,000 feet.
Well, that is considerably higher than the highest mountain. But I'll allow
the answer. Very good, you have three points.
Now for the application. If God created a nature that *works*, that we are
able to *observe*, make accurate *predictions* concerning, and, using the
present processes understand what happened in the past -- why the fuss about
changes occuring in population over a period of time through genetics?
We *know* mutations happen. The bad ones generally get weeded out. The
neutral ones are simply carried on along and may or may not increase as
population dynamics are observed. The good ones are usually selected *for*,
because a good trait means better survivability.
Evolution happens. We see it happening today. We have the genetic evidence.
The world witnessed it in the outbreak of the SARS virus. We have the record
of history found in fossils and geologic strata. We see the record of change
all around us -- and you object to it?
If God created nature to work, and part of that work is genetic change in
part due to random mutations followed by selection of the better traits,
then evolution is God's work, too. You may not like it, but there it is.
Mutations change the genetic code, thus changing the genetic information.
Small changes may be seen individually. The record of the large changes over
time is in the rocks.

Didn't say anything about miracles, just that what we call a miracle
doesn't transgress His laws (some of which we know and some of which we
don't) for He is lawful. Airplanes appear to violate the laws of gravity
to one who doesn't undertand the laws of aeronautics. That does not
invalidate the laws of gravity, nor is a plane in flight a miracle as it
would appear to an antique scientist like Darwin.

Burt: Didn't say anything about miracles, just that what we call a miracle
doesn't transgress His laws (some of which we know and some of which we
don't) for He is lawful. Airplanes appear to violate the laws of gravity
to one who doesn't undertand the laws of aeronautics. That does not
invalidate the laws of gravity, nor is a plane in flight a miracle as it
would appear to an antique scientist like Darwin.
Tom: I think you would find that Darwin could undated flight much better

If that is the case, wholesale creation of new life forms ex nihilo - which
would certainly be a transgression of physical laws - obviously does not
occur. The only alternative remaining, as far as I can see, is that new
life forms come about through a process of change from related forms.
Airplanes appear to violate the laws of gravity
to one who doesn't undertand the laws of aeronautics. That does not

Excellent! So do you agree that evolution likewise only appears to violate
physical laws to one who doesn't know much about biology?

Evolution Not Scientific*
The "theory of evolution" does not qualify as a scientific theory.
Here
are examples to show this to be true:
1. No natural process which resulted in information forming
automatically
in matter, has ever been observed. Neither is this possible in the
most
spectacular or costly experiments.
Is there information in a spiral galaxies.
Is there information in a snowflake
Is there information in rock crystals
Is there information in the ripples of wind blown sand.
I just gave you four examples of natural processes that anyone will
admit
that they can get information from. And which are being created natural
everyday in a direct conflict of what you said.
Depends upon the defination of 'natural' What defination are you using?
The Creator wrote the laws of chemistry, physics, as well as morality, and
He is a lawful God, why would He violate His own laws within His
creation? It sounds like the defination of natural that you are using has
a metaphysical component.
Natural - produced by nature.
What evidence do you have of this creator. No evidence it's not science.
2. No transition from one basic kind to another has ever been
observed.
(mutational changes in dogs is not an example of this so don't even
try...)
Dogs are descended from wolves, are wolves and Chihuahuas the same
"basic Kind" Just because you say it's not an example doesn't make it so
since your not an expert on anything.
IOW, unless one is a doctor, he can't administer an aspiran, unless he is
an attorney, he can't represent himself in court, not being an expert.
Have you ever read the parable of the Emperor's clothes? Sounds a bit like
intellectual ivory tower snobbery.
The snobbery was in the sentence from IKHDY "(mutational changes in dogs
is not an example of this so don't even try...)" Sounds pretty snobby to me
telling me what evidence I can and can't use. Who elected IKNDY as an
expert.
Glad you admit though that there are mutational changes in dogs
because
that's what makes Greyhounds run faster then a Grey Wolf or a Bloodhound
have better olfactory senses then Wolves which rely mostly on eyesight.
This
is of course a beneficial mutation that you say is impossible.
Mutation or intra-species variation? Breeders can enhance basic character
traits already part of the code, but they have never been able to breed
greyhounds that will be a common ancestor of a line of cats.
I imagine if breeders try to make a cat they could probably come close
but most are in the business to make money not science, breeders have always
been trying to make a better dog not a cat since good cats are already
around.
Could it all be the result of hybridization, the characteristics that
we see in dogs don't fit Mendelian genetics very well at all. There's no
blending of traits in Mendelian Genetics add to the fact that this has been
going on for tens of thousands of years and the extremely wide variations
from a Chihuahua to a wild Wolf and you have a good case for mutational
differences. But to be absolutely sure the dog Genome project is under way
and that will help settle any doubt. There may have been other studies also.
Oh and just in case you want a non dog transitional try this fish with
legs
Acanthostega (fish with legs)
http://tolweb.org/tree?group=Acanthostega&contgroup=Terrestrial_Vertebrates
Quoting from the site:
The relationships of Acanthostega remain unresolved pending a thorough
cladistic analysis, though provisional attempts have suggested that it is
one of the earliest limbed vertebrates (Ahlberg and Milner 1994, Lebedev
and Coates 1995, Carroll 1995, Laurin and Reisz 1997). However, it may be
more closely related to crown tetrapods than to Metaxygnathus and the
recently described Ventastega (Ahlberg 1995).
IOW, the cladograms must be changed again (but they have already been
changed thousands of times already). The operative words are "remain
unresolved" "provisional attempts have suggested", "However, it may be"
Cladograms are based upon the assumption that similarities in animals
suggest that they have a common ancestor, it is equally valid to assume
that they have a common Creator, the caldograms don't even have to change.
The belief that all life is related is based on physical evidence such as
the relationship of our DNA to that of a banana or yeast (identical or near
identical genes)
The belief of a common creator is based on no evidence and therefore is not
science.
3. The "hypercycle theory" devised by M. Eigen for explaining the
origin
of the first life, has never been varified experimentally. And this
conceptual system also does not qualify to be a theory, neither is
there
any relation to reality in the theory.
All scientist admit that the first forms of life are yet to be
explained.
Some even admit that the appearance of a common ancestor are yet to be
explained.
Cite
4. The frequently quoted transitional forms and the "missing links"
have
never been found. All fossils found represent complete functioning
perfect organisms, many of which are still with us today and
unchanged(e.g.,see Jellyfish fossils).
Please give one example of a jellyfish that has gone unchanged from
the
fossil record. Just one (scientific name please).
No one disputes intra-species variataion and adaption of a species to
environmental conditions. The argument is that tomatoe plants and
giraffes have a common ancestor, not that jellyfish can't adapt to changes
in enviromnent.
In fact there are not any living decendents of fossilized animals
that
have not gone unchanged, that includes colecanths, jellyfish, etc.
Evolution
works on everything.
Intra-species variation occurs on everything, but that does not validate
that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancesotor.
It's the only known explanation that fits the evidence without taking
into consideration of a metaphysical reason which science cannot do. Your
constant pointing to a creator suggest not a scientific explanation but one
of personal belief.
It has also become clear from the scientific objections discussed that
evolution cannot "deliver the goods" as pretended by its dogmatically
blind supporters. The suppositions and opinion supporting molecules
to
men is only the procuct of minds that evidently have not progressed in
their own claimed evolution...
Nice sentiments.
Evolution is probably the most confirmed scientific theory on the
books,
Only under the assumption and limiting condition that it is true.
No the physical evidence.
There are literally thousands of books filled with evidence for
evolution.
But the same evidence supports the equally valid conslucion that there is
a common Creator as well.
There is no evidence of a creator,
Not to mention the thousands of museums that are filled with fossils
millions of years old that refute everything you say.
Tee hee hee, only under the assumption and limiting condition that tomatoe
plants and giraffes do indeed have or even could have an unproven common
ancestor.
It's not an assumption but an idea based on physical evidence.
There is not one piece of evidence for the story of creation as
related
in the Bible and its time you realized it's an allegory. The vast
majority
of Christians already do.
Tee hee hee, fundie evolutionist mantra #55, everyone believes it, you
must be stupid or something. Truth is not a democratic process, if
everyone believs a lie, it is still not truth. There is not sufficent
evidence that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancestor and its
time you realized that its only a hypothesis, and not the only hypothesis.
Never said it was.
You obviously missed the part "There is not one piece of evidence for the
story of creation " which has nothing to do majority opinion.
Common decent is based on physical evidence regardless of what you believe.

Science cannot take a creator into consideration because there is no
evidence of a creator, it therefore relies on physical evidence that since
tomatoe plants and giraffes have the same genes or similar genes that there
is a relationship.
God created the natural and wrote the laws of chemistry, physics, and
morality. Based upon the legacy of Einstien, there may be more unseen
than there is seen, are you saying that biology is excluding possibilities
that it hasn't even looked at yet? That would not be scientific to be so

Cite for god created the natural.
Legacy of Einstien had nothing to say of the unseen.
Biology only looks at things there is evidence for.
Science is a tool it does not have a mind.

cladistic analysis, though provisional attempts have suggested that it
is
one of the earliest limbed vertebrates (Ahlberg and Milner 1994,
Lebedev
and Coates 1995, Carroll 1995, Laurin and Reisz 1997). However, it may
be
more closely related to crown tetrapods than to Metaxygnathus and the
recently described Ventastega (Ahlberg 1995).
IOW, the cladograms must be changed again (but they have already been
changed thousands of times already). The operative words are "remain
unresolved" "provisional attempts have suggested", "However, it may
be"
Cladograms are based upon the assumption that similarities in animals
suggest that they have a common ancestor, it is equally valid to
assume
that they have a common Creator, the caldograms don't even have to
change.
The belief that all life is related is based on physical evidence such
as
the relationship of our DNA to that of a banana or yeast (identical or
near
identical genes)
True, but the same evidence also supports the hypothesis that banannas and
yeast have a common creator with equal validity.
No evidence of a creator = no validity in science.
The belief of a common creator is based on no evidence and therefore is
not
science.
Tee hee hee, the same evidence supports either hypothesis, and neither
have been proven nor disproven.
It does not support a creator. For that you would need evidence that a
creator exist but you have none.
3. The "hypercycle theory" devised by M. Eigen for explaining the
origin
of the first life, has never been varified experimentally. And
this
conceptual system also does not qualify to be a theory, neither is
there
any relation to reality in the theory.
All scientist admit that the first forms of life are yet to be
explained.
Some even admit that the appearance of a common ancestor are yet to be
explained.
Cite
Why do I have to accept your statement that ALL scientists admit, but have
to prove that merely one doesn't? Sounds like a double standard.
You could have asked for a cite also.
4. The frequently quoted transitional forms and the "missing
links"
have
never been found. All fossils found represent complete
functioning
perfect organisms, many of which are still with us today and
unchanged(e.g.,see Jellyfish fossils).
Please give one example of a jellyfish that has gone unchanged
from
the
fossil record. Just one (scientific name please).
No one disputes intra-species variataion and adaption of a species to
environmental conditions. The argument is that tomatoe plants and
giraffes have a common ancestor, not that jellyfish can't adapt to
changes
in enviromnent.
In fact there are not any living decendents of fossilized
animals
that
have not gone unchanged, that includes colecanths, jellyfish, etc.
Evolution
works on everything.
Intra-species variation occurs on everything, but that does not
validate
that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancesotor.
It's the only known explanation that fits the evidence without
taking
into consideration of a metaphysical reason which science cannot do.
Tee hee hee, assuming that only 'known' natural causes and that God didn't
do it is metaphysical reasoning, not scientific reasoning.
No it's not.
Your
constant pointing to a creator suggest not a scientific explanation but
one
of personal belief.
Tee hee hee, your constant pointing to a common ancestor suggest not a
scientific explanation but one of personal belief.
The evidence suggest that there is common ancestor.
It has also become clear from the scientific objections discussed
that
evolution cannot "deliver the goods" as pretended by its
dogmatically
blind supporters. The suppositions and opinion supporting
molecules
to
men is only the procuct of minds that evidently have not
progressed in
their own claimed evolution...
Nice sentiments.
Evolution is probably the most confirmed scientific theory on
the
books,
Only under the assumption and limiting condition that it is true.
No the physical evidence.
Tee hee hee, fundie evolutionary mantra #5, the physical evidence shall
not be allowed to prove a common creator.
There is not any physical evidence for a creator.
There are literally thousands of books filled with evidence for
evolution.
But the same evidence supports the equally valid conslucion that there
is
a common Creator as well.
There is no evidence of a creator,
Tee hee hee, there is no evidence of a common ancestor of tomatoe plants
and giraffes.
The evidence suggest there is.
Not to mention the thousands of museums that are filled with fossils
millions of years old that refute everything you say.
Tee hee hee, only under the assumption and limiting condition that
tomatoe
plants and giraffes do indeed have or even could have an unproven
common
ancestor.
It's not an assumption but an idea based on physical evidence.
Tee hee hee, but the same phyusical evidence does not invalidate that they
have a common Creator.
It doesn't invalidate the tooth fairy either but there's not any evidence
for the tooth fairy.
There is not one piece of evidence for the story of creation as
related
in the Bible and its time you realized it's an allegory. The vast
majority
of Christians already do.
Tee hee hee, fundie evolutionist mantra #55, everyone believes it, you
must be stupid or something. Truth is not a democratic process, if
everyone believs a lie, it is still not truth. There is not sufficent
evidence that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancestor and
its
time you realized that its only a hypothesis, and not the only
hypothesis.
Never said it was.
You obviously missed the part "There is not one piece of evidence for
the
story of creation " which has nothing to do majority opinion.
Tee hee hee, are you talking about the revelation of creation or the
scientific theory of creation? You seem confused.
There is no scientific theory of creation, if I'm wrong please post it.
Common decent is based on physical evidence regardless of what you
believe.
Tee hee hee, a common Creator is based on physical evidence regardless of
what your religious beliefs.
What physical evidence.
Lane
'Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.'
- Aldous Huxley
How true, the Creator doees not cease to exist because He is ignored.
No evidence of a creator.
Tee hee hee, no evidence to disprove His existance.
Science is not in the proof or disproof business. It only deals in evidence.
Aldous, now there is a real raical funddie religious evolutionists who
hated his Creator.
It's a quote that's all, let it stand on it's own merits without
attacking
the writer.
Tee hee hee, no attack, he was a radical fundie religious evolutionists
based upon the physical evidence.
And that evidence is?

Evolution Not Scientific*
The "theory of evolution" does not qualify as a scientific theory. Here
are examples to show this to be true:
1. No natural process which resulted in information forming automatically
in matter, has ever been observed. Neither is this possible in the most
spectacular or costly experiments.
Consider the formation of snowflakes in clouds. These highly elaborate
crystals are certainly more ordered than the mist they form from.
This has been pointed out to you before.

This depends entirely upon what you mean by "information". The fact is that
any formation is informative, and we know of many repetative processes in
nature.
"Information" is a creationist buzz-word designed to avoid using accepted
science terminology. In that way, the deceptive creationist can tilt at his
preconstructed windmills while actually avoiding dealing with real science.
It is illusory.
Now I realize that you are probably just quoting from some creationist
web-site out there and not quoting your sources as you have often done (in
my classes, such plagarism would have earned a 0 on the first assignment you
did that with and expulsion from the class on the second). However, your
claim is merely a claim, and without merit. You argue from paucity of
knowledge. You have never seen many natural processes which do indeed exist.
Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.
2. No transition from one basic kind to another has ever been observed.
(mutational changes in dogs is not an example of this so don't even
try...)
But evolution does not say that this should be so. Evolutionary theory
asserts that "like produces like" -- just not "exactly alike". Minor
differences can become quite major, given time. And sometimes even small
differences in certain genes can produce significant changes in morphology.
This is another example of a creationist misdirection. You have nothing bad
to say about evolution, per se. So you must make something up out of whole
cloth. No evolutionist believes that a bird gives birth to a bat, or a dog
gives birth to a cat, or that maggots are produced by rotting meat. Such an
accusation is deceptive, and, I believe, deliberate.
3. The "hypercycle theory" devised by M. Eigen for explaining the origin
of the first life, has never been varified experimentally. And this
conceptual system also does not qualify to be a theory, neither is there
any relation to reality in the theory.
Abiogenesis is still in its primary stages of study. But again and again you
have been told that evolution does not depend upon abiogenesis in any way,
nor does the assumption of evolutionary hypotheses require abiogenesis be
one of them.
Abiogenesis is the study of life arising from non-life, principally by
chemical means.
Biological evolution is the study of life arising from life, and the changes
that occur in populations in response to heredity and the environment.
4. The frequently quoted transitional forms and the "missing links" have
never been found. All fossils found represent complete functioning
perfect organisms, many of which are still with us today and
unchanged(e.g.,see Jellyfish fossils).
Again, you demonstrate the profound dishonesty of the professional
creationist. I am transitional between my father and my son, and all of us
are alive at the same time.
By distorting what evolutionary theory actually says, you create a straw-man
argument. You are not actually arguing against evolution, but your own
distortions of it. You simply have not demonstrated that you have a single
argument against what evolutionary theory actually says -- only your
distortions of it.
Indeed, even the biological record today is full of transitional forms which
have not only survived, but have gendered forms markedly different from
themselves (which have also survived).
It has also become clear from the scientific objections discussed that
evolution cannot "deliver the goods" as pretended by its dogmatically
blind supporters. The suppositions and opinion supporting molecules to
men is only the procuct of minds that evidently have not progressed in
their own claimed evolution...
It has become abundantly clear that you have nothing to say against
evolution itself, and cannot "deliver the goods" in trying to debunk it.
Furthermore, you have contributed nothing of real substance to the debate,
neither proposing alternate approaches to reconciling the vast amounts of
data we in the sciences have collected, not demonstrating the ability of
prediction which evolutionary theory has demonstrated so aptly.
In short, your own suppositions and opinions are worthless.
Deal with the facts, man! Be honest. If you know Him, as you claim to do,
why do you persist in your damnable lies and deceits?

This is not about evolution but about abiogenesis. Abiogenesis has

Science doesn't use "kinds" and no two creationists can even define
"kind" alike. You are simply demonstrating your like of understanding
of what a "transition" is. Please take a college biology class.

The "origen of the first life" is irrelevent to evolution, which is
only concerned with how life changes and adapts once it's here.
Please take a college biology class.

college biology class.
