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.

Genetics & Evolution

The evidence against the opinion of evolution is found in the field of
genetics.

False.
NATIONAL ACADEMY of SCIENCES: "The evolution of all the organisms that live
on Earth today from ancestors that lived in the past is at the core of
genetics, biochemistry, neurobiology, physiology, ecology, and other
biological disciplines."
http://www.nap.edu/html/creationism/

Darwin and his fellow travelers claimed that fish evolved into
human beings.

Actually that modern fish and humans have a common ancestor.

The question arises: How did fish aquire the genes to
become humans?

All populations evolve due to various factors, including heredity,
variation, mutation, speciation, natural selection, sexual selection, drift,
contingency, etc.

A creature cannot be anything physically its genes won't
allow(the code is fixed in all creatures as well as plants).

Genes are not fixed. This is the observed *fact* of evolution.

A zebra
cannot give birth to a baby kangaroo for it only has zebra genes.

This is not consistent with the Theory of Evolution.

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.

This is false. Darwin never asserted such a thing. IknowHimDoYou, a cite or
a retraction is to be expected here.
However, Darwin did state that donkeys and giraffes have a common ancestor.

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.

Oh crap!! I just spent $150 on a brand new first year Biology text book and
CD at the University of Calgary bookstore to help me teach my high school
biology class and this guy has single-handedly blown the Theory of Evolution
out of the water!!! Those bastards that wrote my book (4 authors with 87
reviewers for the 4th edition) spent 4 chapters devoted to the Theory of
Evolution before moving on to chapters on diverse plants and animals and
their physiology.
What a waste!!!
Should I go try and get my money back?

Grasshopper, you seek wisdom, but know this first.

Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a

good

understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise

endureth

for ever.

JIST, can you just give me a straight-forward answer to

straight-forward

question. I want to hear from you on this. I know you use a pseudonym,

but

there's still a real person on that keyboard.
How old is the Earth?


I don't know.

Okay, okay .... I don't mean to be overly picky or precise, please excuse
me. Would you say:
A) the earth is younger than 1 million years
B) the earth is older than 1 million years

I believe the Biblical historical account of how long the earth has been
here.
Which is about 10,000 yrs.

Not at all. I would be looking at the exact same data. The only difference

What data is there that supports a 10,000 year old earth?

The same rocks and fossils you use. I simply reject the evolutionistic
interpretation.

I attend as often as possible. At least once a week. I am quite involved

Jist,
This is interesting to me.
Do you consider your presence here to be part of your
creation evangelism ministry?
If so, is your behavior to others who disagree with you on
non-essentials of salvation sanctioned by your church, either
at the denominational level or at the level of the elders (or
whatever the leaders of your local church are called)? I
refer here specifically to the aspersions you cast on peoples'
characters, not to your approach to the debate on the issues.
Finally, I'm not familiar with the term "creation
evangelism". Does that mean the spreading of the truth of
creationism? Or does it refer to the use of creationist ideas
to help spread the Gospel?

Not in a serious way, no.

However, since you mentioned this, I have done some research on Creation
evangelism, and I think I understand a bit more of the whys and hows of the
positions you have been taking.
However, I must disagree with Creation evangelism's fundamental position
that the whole of the gospel rests upon the foundation of a literal Genesis.
I used to think a lot this way, but having met real Christians who did not
take that position made me ask some questions.
The fact that I need a Savior is quite adequately addressed in Romans 5.
Adam sinned and introduced sin. But I am not judged for what he did. Death
has fallen upon all men because all have sinned. Since I am a sinner
personally, I personally need a Savior.
Science in none of its arenas tells me that there is no God. 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.
I have known several scientists who take this position, and they are active
Christians.

Raymond E. Griffith

The fact that I need a Savior is quite adequately addressed in Romans 5.
Adam sinned and introduced sin. But I am not judged for what he did. Death
has fallen upon all men because all have sinned. Since I am a sinner
personally, I personally need a Savior.

Science in none of its arenas tells me that there is no God.

Which part of the religious/scientific belief that tomatoe plants and
giraffes having a common ancestor but not a common Creator tells you that
there is a God?
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?


I have known several scientists who take this position, and they are active
Christians.

Christian scientists do not deny that the scientific theory that tomatoe
plants and giraffes having a common ancestor exists, most atheist
scientists deny that the scientific theory that tomatoe plants and
giraffes having a common Creator exists.

If so, is your behavior to others who disagree with you on
non-essentials of salvation sanctioned by your church, either
at the denominational level or at the level of the elders (or
whatever the leaders of your local church are called)? I
refer here specifically to the aspersions you cast on peoples'
characters, not to your approach to the debate on the issues.


Probably not no.


Finally, I'm not familiar with the term "creation
evangelism". Does that mean the spreading of the truth of
creationism? Or does it refer to the use of creationist ideas
to help spread the Gospel?


Both.

Science doesn't address the question at all. Why can't you understand
this?

Because it cannot be falsified, the hallmark of a scientific
hypothesis. Teach it in religious classes, but not in science
classes.

Better still, leave it out of schools altogether and allow the individual
to make up his or her own mind. There is no place in any civilised society
for enforced religion.

And if evolution as you claim it happened is actually
true (which is only your claim), then it cannot be
falsified either. So by your own logic, it should be
left out of schools altogether also.

You are, of course (a matter of course with you), misrepresenting what
falsifiability actually implies. It does NOT imply that a theory can
actually be proven wrong, only that it can be proven wrong IN PRINCIPLE.
That is to say there must be classes of observations or experiments that
WOULD prove it wrong if they turned out one way. You have been told
often enough. Show that human remains occur unequivocally laid down
inside cretaceous rock and you will have cast evolution into serious
doubt. Some creationists have tried to do this already, but the evidence
they have mustered has always been of about the quality of supermarket
tabloid reports of B52 aircraft on the moon.
