>>Evolution is simply not possible. Natural selection cannot make new species. Mutations are nearly always destructive, or, at best, do not add anything significant to a species. Lamarckianism has been shown to be false. What were once viewed as vestigial organs and structures, i.e. holdovers from an evolutionary past, are now shown to have a function. “Junk DNA,” containing the failed evolutionary experiments of a species is not present. The history of paleontology is rife with fakes, frauds, and fudged date. Furthermore, the DNA molecule is information, and information always has an intelligent source. Indeed, it takes a very blind leap of faith to hold to Darwinism.<<

Every single statement is scientifically incorrect (except maybe the one about fakes, which science itself discovered — religion has no such ability to police itself).

And there is no such thing as “Darwanism.”

"There is no such thing as 'Darwanism'"

This gentleman disagrees...

So you are claiming Lamarckianism is true?

[attiladhun2]

So Lamarckianism is true? Mutations create new species? There are vestigial structures? There is junk DNA?What are you implying?

Scientists may have discovered the fakes, but there were many who regarded the fakes as genuine, even after the fakery was discovered. I used to have the same kind of awe for scientists you seem to have. However, the alar scare, the global cooling and then the global warming scares, the population-bomb scare, the running out of resources scare, hocky-stick graphs, and a number of other things have showed me that scientists are often wrong and very often defend their errors with vehemence.

“And there is no such thing as “Darwanism.””

Have you called up Stanford and informed them of this yet? They’re still listing it in their encyclopedia of philosophy as if it was an actual thing!

Willam Provine speaks.

“Modern science directly implies that the world is organized strictly in accordance with deterministic principles or chance. There are no purposive principles whatsoever in nature. There are no gods and no designing forces that are rationally detectable. The frequently made assertion that modern biology and the assumptions of the Judaeo-Christian tradition are fully compatible is false.” William B. Provine, “Progress in Evolution and Meaning in Life,” in Evolutionary Progress, ed. Matthew H. Nitecki (University of Chicago Press, 1988), p. 65
