Genetics & Evolution |
Genetics & Evolution
The evidence against the opinion of evolution is found in the field of
genetics. Darwin and his fellow travelers claimed that fish evolved into
human beings. The question arises: How did fish aquire the genes to
become humans? A creature cannot be anything physically its genes won't
allow(the code is fixed in all creatures as well as plants). A zebra
cannot give birth to a baby kangaroo for it only has zebra genes. A woman
can't een be born blonde without genes for blonde hair, otherwise , she
has to use peroxide bleach.
Darwin thought you could take donkeys and put them in the right
environment, give them enough time and they become giraffes. Any
mutations(which are degrading to the creature' genetic code because of
loss of information) will only produce freaks or monsters of that same
creature usually leading to a dead end.
So now we can state:
Mutations, the supposed building blocks of evolution, are never actually
observed to create higher genetic information.
Therefore, evolution is impossible.

Science doesn't address the question at all. Why can't you understand
this?
Religion addresses who we are, where we came from, why are we here, where
are we going?
God says we are His children, we are here to learn and to begin to enter
His Kindgom.
Evolution says by religious implication we are evolved by accident and/or
chance from animals, we have no specific purpose, eat, drink and be merry
for tommorrow we die.
The scientific theory of evolution by implications (and as can be easily
documented by high priest Dawkins pseudo scientific religious writings)
creates its own significant religious dogma. Why can't you understand

Evolution is a fine scientific theory, although the evidence that
'suggests' that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancestor suggest
the equally valid alternative that they have a common Creator. The
religious implications that must come forth from the scientific theory of
evolution are religious beliefs, and that is the religion of evolution.
Both Creation and evolution have scientific and religious compoments. If
being created by God is a religious belief, not being created by God can
not be held to be unreligious, but merely an expression of the religion of
atheism.
And if it did,
science is mutable -- it acknowledges that it does not and will not
have all
the truth. There are many areas of life that science cannot deal with.
True, so why should'nt the vialbe alternative theory that they have a
common Creator be taught alongside the theory that they have a common
ancestor?
Because it cannot be falsified, the hallmark of a scientific
hypothesis. Teach it in religious classes, but not in science
classes.
Auxiliary assumptions can make a false theory appear falsifiable when it
is not, it is not the final word.
We may have difficulty looking for a way to falsify the Creator when
restricting the search to the 4 dimensions science is comfortable with;
however, there is no problem falsifing Intelligent Design, the mechanism
of Creation Theory which does not require that the Designer Himself be
falsified.

Burt: Religion addresses who we are, where we came from, why are we here,
where are we going?
Tom: Tee hee hee, yes and if you ask any of the 3,000 or so cults that exist
today they will all give you a different answer. The only thing that is
certain about the religious cults is that all of them can't be right.
Burt: God says we are His children, we are here to learn and to begin to

Tom: Tee hee hee, so one of the cults states. Is the "right" cult is the
question.
Burt: Evolution says by religious implication we are evolved by accident
and/or
chance from animals, we have no specific purpose, eat, drink and be merry
for tommorrow we die.
Tom: Tee hee hee , evolution says nothing about religious values as it is a
science and not a religion. Yes, tomorrow we will die and I am making use
of the life that I have left in the best way possible. I have several
purposes and work hard to pursue these purposes. Well, worked hard. Now that
I am retired I let my money do all of the hard work. I don't give my life
(the only life I will ever have) to the worship of some mythical being. The
good thing about knowing that there is no god of the Hebrew bible is that I
am not concerned in the least about death. Death doesn't bother me as I know
that I will just enter an eternal peaceful sleep. The problem with most of
the Christians that I know and knew when I was a Christian is that they talk
about heaven and they say they look forward to being with Jesus but many of
them are afraid. Some great religion, huh?
Burt: The scientific theory of evolution by implications (and as can be

Tom: Tee hee hee, there are no high priests in the science of evolution nor
low priests for that matter. Why can't you understand this? Please don't
attempt to answer, it was only a rhetorical question.
Burt: Evolution is a fine scientific theory, although the evidence that
'suggests' that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancestor suggest
the equally valid alternative that they have a common Creator.
Tom: Tee hee hee, who must be the dumbest creator in the world as our DNA is
filled with copying errors. This is an intelligent creator????
Burt: The
religious implications that must come forth from the scientific theory of
evolution are religious beliefs, and that is the religion of evolution.
Tom: Tee hee hee and what are the religious implications of relativity or
gravity? Evolution is a science, period. Any implications that are
attributed to it are done outside the realm of science. Most of these
implications are stated by fundamentalist creationist Christians who don't
have the first clue as to what the TOE is, much less any implications. Tee
hee hee, are you one of these fundies, Burt?
Burt: Both Creation and evolution have scientific and religious compoments.
Tom: Tee hee hee, creation doesn't have the first scientific component.
If
being created by God is a religious belief, not being created by God can
not be held to be unreligious, but merely an expression of the religion of

far you haven't said the first thing that makes sense scientifically.

You cannot provide any evidence to support that contention.

Why is it that pseudomoralists like you insist that one cannot be moral
without the threat of hell or the promise of heaven? Unlike you, I can
be moral without worrying about a payoff. I do not subscribe to the
nihilism that you seem incapable of avoiding.
As I understand Christian teaching, Christians who are in it for the
payoff at the end cannot expect to go to heaven.

Because it is not true. I understand your claims. They are false. Your
assertions are worthless and show how poor a Christian you are.
Evolution is a fine scientific theory, although the evidence that
'suggests' that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancestor suggest
the equally valid alternative that they have a common Creator.
Hogwash.
The
religious implications that must come forth from the scientific theory of
evolution are religious beliefs, and that is the religion of evolution.
Why do you keep repeating this false claim? Are you really that
dishonest or just incapable of learning?
Both Creation and evolution have scientific and religious compoments. If
being created by God is a religious belief, not being created by God can
not be held to be unreligious, but merely an expression of the religion of
atheism.
There is no science in Creationism. You know that. There is no religion
in the discoveries of evolution. You know that. Evolution has nothing to
do with atheism. You know that, too.
....
Because it cannot be falsified, the hallmark of a scientific
hypothesis. Teach it in religious classes, but not in science
classes.
Auxiliary assumptions can make a false theory appear falsifiable when it
is not, it is not the final word.
Your assertions are unsupportable, yet you refuse to admit that you have
nothing.
We may have difficulty looking for a way to falsify the Creator when

however, there is no problem falsifing Intelligent Design, the mechanism

What does that mean?

First of all, we would expect that God would not contradict his word, that
he would not tell a lie. Therefore, if we find any outright lies in the
Bible, we must dismiss it as God's word.
In all cases I have seen where critics have thought this to be the case,
they have proven out to be straw-man arguments.
We would expect that the scientific evidence would be more consistent with
the predictions of a world created by God than it would be with the
evolutionary model. If one wanted to disprove the existence of God as
creator, he then would have to come up with a scenario that explains the
existence of life on earth, evolving from inanimate matter through the
food chain to man. To falsify the creation theory, an evolutionist would
need to demonstrate the following:
1. Natural chemical processes that produces all of the components of
life from non-life in quantities sufficient to account for all life on
earth.
2. A natural process that purifies amino acids in their left handed
form, and sugars in their right hand form for use as the building blocks
of life.
3. The origin of the DNA, RNA, protein manufacturing process.
4. The origin of photosynthesis and the appearance of chlorophyll.
5. The origin of reproduction at the chemical level.
6. The origin of the genetic code and the chemical infrastructure to
make it work.
7. Once you have determined what these processes are, show that
these processes are much more likely to happen than the processes that
break down the components of life.
8. Once you have demonstrated that the chemical origin of life is
possible from off-the-shelf chemicals, show the biochemical changes that
occur to increase the meaningful information content of organisms to
produce the vast variety of creatures found today.
9. A corollary to this would be to show that mutations in the vast
majority of cases are beneficial and promote evolution.
At the biochemical level, evolutionists haven't yet begun to explain their
theory satisfactorily. We do not think that it is possible to do so. One
possible reason that it may be hard to falsify the creation model: it may
just be true.

What makes them straw man arguments? Because they find contradictions
in the Bible, which makes the Word of God a lie? What about comparing
Isaiah 14:21 to Deuteronomy 24:16? Here is a clear contradiction in
the Bible. Therefore, at least one of these is a lie. Can we
therefore dismiss the Bible as God's Word?
We would expect that the scientific evidence would be more consistent with

But nobody's concerned with falsifying the Creation theory, because it
ain't science! On the other hand, if you want to falsify evolutionary
theory, you need to go out there and show why populations can evolve a
little bit (your micro-evolution), but not a lot (macro). Where's the
boundary line?

First of all, we would expect that God would not contradict his word, that
he would not tell a lie. Therefore, if we find any outright lies in the
Bible, we must dismiss it as God's word.
In all cases I have seen where critics have thought this to be the case,
they have proven out to be straw-man arguments.
What makes them straw man arguments? Because they find contradictions
in the Bible, which makes the Word of God a lie? What about comparing
Isaiah 14:21 to Deuteronomy 24:16? Here is a clear contradiction in
the Bible. Therefore, at least one of these is a lie. Can we
therefore dismiss the Bible as God's Word?
No, neither is there a discrepency. Isaiah is directed to the Medes and
Persians who at Ver. 21. Prepare slaughter for his children, &c.] These
words are directed to the Medes and Persians, to prepare instruments of
slaughter, and make use of them; and prepare themselves for the slaughter
of the whole royal family, Belshazzar and all his children. So it is
threatened to Jezebel, or the Romish antichrist, that all her children
should be killed with death, #Re 2:23|:
Babylonia was slaughtered by the Medes and Persians, not the Israelites.
We would expect that the scientific evidence would be more consistent with
the predictions of a world created by God than it would be with the
evolutionary model.
Why?
because no specific nor particular thing has ever been identified that
evolved into tomatoe plants and giraffes.
If one wanted to disprove the existence of God as
creator, he then would have to come up with a scenario that explains the
existence of life on earth, evolving from inanimate matter through the
food chain to man. To falsify the creation theory, an evolutionist would
need to demonstrate the following:
1. Natural chemical processes that produces all of the components of
life from non-life in quantities sufficient to account for all life on
earth.
2. A natural process that purifies amino acids in their left handed
form, and sugars in their right hand form for use as the building blocks
of life.
3. The origin of the DNA, RNA, protein manufacturing process.
4. The origin of photosynthesis and the appearance of chlorophyll.
5. The origin of reproduction at the chemical level.
6. The origin of the genetic code and the chemical infrastructure to
make it work.
7. Once you have determined what these processes are, show that
these processes are much more likely to happen than the processes that
break down the components of life.
8. Once you have demonstrated that the chemical origin of life is
possible from off-the-shelf chemicals, show the biochemical changes that
occur to increase the meaningful information content of organisms to
produce the vast variety of creatures found today.
9. A corollary to this would be to show that mutations in the vast
majority of cases are beneficial and promote evolution.
But nobody's concerned with falsifying the Creation theory, because it
ain't science!
Tee hee hee, let me get this straight, on the one had, evolutionists claim
that Creation theory isn't scientific because it can't be falsified, but
if falsifiable, it is still not scientific.
On the other hand, if you want to falsify evolutionary
theory, you need to go out there and show why populations can evolve a
little bit (your micro-evolution), but not a lot (macro). Where's the
boundary line?

Genetic limits to reproduction.
I'm not even sure what you mean here. You are referring to speciation
whereby two populations diverge due to "genetic limits to reproduction", yet
you have rejected speciation as being not relevant but just a difference in
kind.
Are your assertions meant to be taken as science? And please be very
specific. What do you mean by "genetic limits to reproduction"? Don't you
really mean "limits to variation"? If so, then what are the limits, how do
they work, and how can we test this hypothesis?

No it doesn't. It merely gives the mechanism by which we are here.
And Creation provides another.
And the two are not mutually exclusive.
Which 'scientific' text includes both hypothesis, one that tomatoe plants

None, for scientists are smart enough to know that science does not
attempt to try to answer the questions of religion; if only
fundamentalist theologians were smart enough to realize that religion
does not answer the questions of science, things would be much easier.
What set that in motion--if anything--is not explored by evolution.
It used to be in 'science' books before circa 1970, but the fairy tale of
the magical primordial pool where non living material started to live was
such a knee slapper, it had to be separated for the balance of the theory
to have any viability. Evolution has no way to come to grips with

Science doesn't address the question at all. Why can't you
understand
this?
Religion addresses who we are, where we came from, why are we
here, where
are we going?
God says we are His children, we are here to learn and to begin
to enter
His Kindgom.
I agree, but we are already in His Kindgom.
Are you kidding me? You quote yourself, and then disagree with
yourself??? Sit down and make sure of what you believe before you
start posting again, okay?
I did, we are already in His Kindgom, but there is much to learn beyond
the earnst deposit of the age of Pentacost.
Romans 8:19* For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the
manifestation of the sons of God.
2Corinthians 1:22* Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the
Spirit in our hearts.
2 Corinthians 5:5* Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is
God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Fine, but are we about to "begin to enter His Kingdom," or are we
"already in His Kingdom?" Which is it?
Both at different levels. Children are in His Kindgom with a Passover
understanding, young men at a Pentacost understanding, and His sons with a
tabranacles understanding. Peter had a pentacost understanding, Paul a
tabranacles understanding. Peter finally 'got it'.
Jerimiah 5:24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD
our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season:
he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all
be made alive. 23* But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Evolution says by religious implication we are evolved by
accident and/or
chance from animals, we have no specific purpose, eat, drink and
be merry
for tommorrow we die.
No it doesn't. It merely gives the mechanism by which we are here.
And Creation provides another.
And the two are not mutually exclusive.
Which 'scientific' text includes both hypothesis, one that tomatoe plants
and giraffes share a common God created ancestor and the other that they
only share a common Creator?
None, for scientists are smart enough to know that science does not
attempt to try to answer the questions of religion; if only
fundamentalist theologians were smart enough to realize that religion
does not answer the questions of science, things would be much easier.
But in pontificating that men are evolved from apes, and that intelligent
design is defined arbitrarily as non-scientific, 'scientists' have entered
the realm of 'religion' disguised as science.
No, let's try this again.
Intelligent Design is ipso facto unscientific.
And evolution, or quantum mechanics (why I don't see more
fundamentalists railing against quantum mechanics is beyond me!), or
gravity, or electricity, or *anything* else that can use the
scientific method to help explain the physical word is by definition
scientific--not "disguised as science."
What set that in motion--if anything--is not explored by evolution.
It used to be in 'science' books before circa 1970, but the fairy tale of
the magical primordial pool where non living material started to live was
such a knee slapper, it had to be separated for the balance of the theory
to have any viability. Evolution has no way to come to grips with
abiogenesis other than fairy tales of statistically impossible sheer
speculation, and is the embarrased step child of evolution by design.
And religion has nothing on evolution to discredit it, other than
pointing out how the theory has been changed in the past to become
more robust. Gee, that's a terrible thing, that the theory itself
takes into account new evidence. Maybe--and I'm just speculating
here--that's what makes it SCIENTIFIC!!!

I'm still perfectly willing to see *any* scientific evidence that
supports the creation theory.
Any evidentuary conclusion that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common
ancestor supports the equally valid conclusion that they have a common
Creator, but not necessarily a common ancestor.
That isn't a single bit of evidence. But please try again.
Nor is it, for that matter, discussed in Genesis. There is no
discussion as to *how* God created man...
True, but it is a revelation and the basis of scientific hypothesis, which
is an equally valid alternative to the evolution ones that tomatoe plants
and giraffes have a common ancestor, but not a common Creator.
That doesn't make a bit of sense! Are you addressing my point that
Genesis doesn't say how God created man, or are you just rambling?
Neither, just that there is an equally valid alternative to the evolution
that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common God created ancestor, but
not a common ancestor.
It may be an equally valid theory, but it isn't scientific, it's
religious.
Why, specifically and particularily?
Because it rests of nothing but faith. It cannot be falsified by any
method known to mankind. It does not make use of the scientific
method.
The scientific theory of evolution by implications (and as can be
easily
documented by high priest Dawkins pseudo scientific religious writings)
creates its own significant religious dogma. Why can't you understand
this?
Not at all. The only people who think so are the fundamentalists who
feel threatened by it. There is no shortage of Catholics who fully
believe that evolution occurs.
We all observe 'micro evolution, but that does not prove that tomatoe
plants and giraffes have a common ancestor instead of a common Creator.
(Or both...) There is no difference between microevolution and
macroevolution.
Do tell. No one disputes that 'species' can be bred to accentuate certain
traits nor that they are capable of adaptation to environmental
conditions; however, that is intra species adaptation or micro evolution,
not the macro evolution theory that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a
common ancestor.
You aren't making any argument here except that since you can't
believe it, it must not be true. If you want some respect for
creation as a scientific theory, you need to supply some *scientific*
reasons.
What scientific ones have you provided?
None. I don't think intelligent design is a scientific theory.
It's only a matter of scale. So tell me: What
natural force exists that will allow an population to evolve a *little
bit*, but not a lot.
Genetic limits to reproduction.
Such as? I'm very interested to hear what you have to say about this.
There are no examples of a common ancestor to tomatoe plants and giraffes.
Ah, back to that, eh? What's wrong? Haven't you got anything that
you can say, "Here! For these scientific principles X, Y, and Z,
microevolution can occur, but macro cannot???"
And the way one might fo about falsifying Intelligent Design is what?
This is something I'm sure we'd all be better off knowing.

First of all, we would expect that God would not contradict his word, that
he would not tell a lie. Therefore, if we find any outright lies in the
Bible, we must dismiss it as God's word.
In all cases I have seen where critics have thought this to be the case,
they have proven out to be straw-man arguments.
What makes them straw man arguments? Because they find contradictions
in the Bible, which makes the Word of God a lie? What about comparing
Isaiah 14:21 to Deuteronomy 24:16? Here is a clear contradiction in
the Bible. Therefore, at least one of these is a lie. Can we
therefore dismiss the Bible as God's Word?
No, neither is there a discrepency.
And Jn 10:03 and 14:28?
What is your point specifically as there is no discrepencey.
Gen 7:2 and 7:8-9?
Not quite, sparky. 7:2 commands Noah to bring in 7 male and female of
every clean beast, but 7:8-9 notes that clean and unclean both go on 2
by 2.
Mt 1:6-16 and Lk 3:23-31?
One is the geanology of Jesus step father, the other the geanology of His
mother.
Really? When I read them, they both purport to give the genealogy of
Jesus through Joseph. Oh, and they're not anything near similar
(other than that House and Lineage of David thing).
Bring these to your pastor and see what he tells you to respond with
here.
Don't have to, I can answer the question directly, if specifically stated.
Okay: Why are two completely different geneologies written for Jesus
through Joseph in Matthew and Luke? And how is this not a direct
contradiction in the Bible? (And if there is doubt as to *that*
historical line, how can we believe the Bible for *any* history?)
We would expect that the scientific evidence would be more consistent with
the predictions of a world created by God than it would be with the
evolutionary model.
Why?
because no specific nor particular thing has ever been identified that
evolved into tomatoe plants and giraffes.
Weak and specious argument.
Stonger than the weak and specious as the argument that there must have
been one.
That there must have been what? A common creator? And why is that?
Oh, because the Bible says so. But the Bible is infallible because it
says it is from God! Hmm...nope. No circularity there!
What about something that evolved into
both mammals and reptiles? Would that convince you, if I could
provide you with evidence of such an organism?
Prove? Well, give it a try.
Never said I'd prove it. I don't think I could prove to you that a
stop sign was red if the Bible told you it was green. However, I
suggest you do a google search on the word "Therapsid."
If one wanted to disprove the existence of God as
creator, he then would have to come up with a scenario that explains the
existence of life on earth, evolving from inanimate matter through the
food chain to man. To falsify the creation theory, an evolutionist would
need to demonstrate the following:
1. Natural chemical processes that produces all of the components of
life from non-life in quantities sufficient to account for all life on
earth.
2. A natural process that purifies amino acids in their left handed
form, and sugars in their right hand form for use as the building blocks
of life.
3. The origin of the DNA, RNA, protein manufacturing process.
4. The origin of photosynthesis and the appearance of chlorophyll.
5. The origin of reproduction at the chemical level.
6. The origin of the genetic code and the chemical infrastructure to
make it work.
7. Once you have determined what these processes are, show that
these processes are much more likely to happen than the processes that
break down the components of life.
8. Once you have demonstrated that the chemical origin of life is
possible from off-the-shelf chemicals, show the biochemical changes that
occur to increase the meaningful information content of organisms to
produce the vast variety of creatures found today.
9. A corollary to this would be to show that mutations in the vast
majority of cases are beneficial and promote evolution.
But nobody's concerned with falsifying the Creation theory, because it
ain't science!
Tee hee hee, let me get this straight, on the one had, evolutionists claim
that Creation theory isn't scientific because it can't be falsified, but
if falsifiable, it is still not scientific.
Were it falsifiable, it would be scientific.
Intelligent design is falsifiable.
How? Tell me what piece of evidence would make you abandon the theory
of intelligent design.
However, as it is by
definition not falsifiable (for how do you falsify an omnipotent God
whose supporters could easily claim chooses simply not to directly
reveal Himself?), it is not scientific, and therefore is no reason to
attempt falsification.
Only in the cathedral of evolutionism, it seems.
Or with anybody that has had more than a third-grade education in
science.
On the other hand, if you want to falsify evolutionary
theory, you need to go out there and show why populations can evolve a
little bit (your micro-evolution), but not a lot (macro). Where's the
boundary line?
The limitatios of genetic code.
Then tell me, what is the property of genetic code that allows one
mutation to occur at a time, but would prevent the gradual
accumulation of mututations?
the fruit fly experimentation put to the grave the Mutated Moster theory
of evolution. Its successor, punctuated equilibrium is less believable
than that.
That hardly answers the question. I want you to answer me with
"specificity and particularity." Do not offhandedly mention some
experiment you think did something--prove to me that you know what
you're talking about.
