Dr. Carson on Evolution: ‘No One Has Ever Demonstrated One Species Changing to Another Species’
cnsnews ^

Posted on 11/05/2015 7:28:52 PM PST by springwater13

He continued, “Darwin said his whole theory depended on the fossil remains. He said we should be able to line up from a single-cell organism to man, several miles long and just walk right down the fossil trail and see how everything evolved.”

“He [Darwin] said the only reason they didn’t have the fossils was because they were not geologically sophisticated enough, but that we would be in 50 to 100 years,” said Dr. Carson. Well, that was 150 years ago. We still haven’t found them. Where are they? Where are the fossil remains?”

Carson continued, “When you ask the evolutionists about that, they say, ‘Uh, I don’t know where they are, they’re somewhere, they are, we just haven’t found them yet.’ That’s a pretty lame excuse, to be honest with you.”

Earlier in his remarks, Dr. Carson said, “Many people don’t know this but Charles Darwin actually started out in the seminary to become a man of the cloth. He had some experiences with God that didn’t go his way, like his 10-year-old daughter who died of pneumonia despite his pleas.”

Not a big fan of Carson but he has now fallen for the MSM trap.
Wasting time and effort debating pointless issues usually the field of Academia debates.

The America has had enough talk...talk...talk

He is correct.

Macro Evolution is a myth.

Don't you know? All species were made from the common clay.

Is that wild gene and barry white? The common clay is obvious, right? Right? Right?

Emily Litella: What's all this FUSS I keep hearing... about changing feces?
Now, that's outrageous!! Why -- why are FECES changing?! Are we running
 out of feces?  How could we POSSIBLY run out of such a thing?!
 Why -- why, just look around you, you can see it ALL OVER the place!!
 Besides, who wants to SAVE THAT, anyway?! My goodness, where would we KEEP it?!
 It's DANGEROUS, especially in the Summer!! Then -- then, it could REALLY hit the fan!! 

Jane Curtin: Species.

Emily Litella: What's that?

Jane Curtin: Species! The notion of changing species! Not feces -- species.

Emily Litella: Ohhhh! I-I-I must have gotten carried away. Never mind!

Exactly. There is a mountain of evidence for adaptation, and literally zero for evolution.

Would like to hear someone erudite and sharp, like Cruz— talk about Bolsheviks and Mensheviks again: in the context of Lenin’s visit to Dr. Pavlov’s research lab, where Lenin is documented (by Pavlov) to have asked pointed questions as to whether people can be conditioned in the same way as Pavlovian response. Absolutely terrifying endpoint of a psychopathic totalitarian. Mind control, behavioural control through media and “dog” training.

Someone point out what Hitlery is FOR— in absolute terms to take the damned blinders off. Cogent, proven, supported attacks... now. And show her utter disdain for the US, and for freedom. Just imagine— single payer govt. healthcare with a database that will control everyone through constant battering and beating down. Orwell was right.

That is because the definition of species precludes such a change. If only everyone studied philosophy along with their favorite subject . . .

Once a species occupies an environmental niche in coexistence with the other species around it, the less adapted variations die off, leaving the species alone in its niche.

There’s really not room for giraffes with necks only somewhere near the ideal length. We can’t see the transition anymore. There’s variation for a while and then there’s semi-stability. Only the semi-stable variety survives in enough multiplicity—sometimes—in the fossil record to be observed, and becomes known as the species.

Saw this elementary illustration one time: Professor had one of those huge flip pads. He pointed to the entire blank page and said “This is the sum total of all species that ever existed.” Then he drew a little tiny dot in the middle: “And this is the fossil record.”

Ha...we already have one,,,the department of Nudge, complete with the Nudge Czarina as coached by Suss Sunstein

Sunstein is co-author of the book Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness and has been advising Obama since 2009. His book jumpstarted the nudging revolution. He’s a believer that people can be incentivized to make “good” decisions under the right conditions or in the right environment.

There are 8 species which have been created in the lab. His information is out of date.

I totally agree with Fungi; name the species and how they were created. You threw something out there as fact which you cannot and probably will not try to prove.

Microfossil records for the Cenozoic show sudden mutations of extant forms into new forms

SO some scientist somewhere theorized that hypothesis, but there is no evidence that one microfossil is the descendant of another microfossil. There is absolutely no way to prove that. I read all of the latest Biology textbooks and where they make those claims, they ALWAYS use modifiers; might have produced, could have descended from, probably descended from, etc. You read some line in a blog somewhere and regurgitated it whole cloth.

He is getting into evolution? With the media?

He is done. Stick a fork into him.

Why do people get sucked into thes things?

If you take that position, or accept Dr. Carson's assertion that it is necessary to demonstrate a species actually changing to another species, then, well, you didn't see the Grand Canyon being made but you know how it happened, right?

Actually, taking Dr. Carson's assertion means that if you didn't see the Grand Canyon being made, you can't know how it happened.

Dr. Carson's argument is a simple, flat-out rejection of inductive logic.

Inductive logic is a valuable tool for dealing with situations where you do not and cannot have enough information to reach a deductive conclusion. I'd think an inability or unwillingness to apply it would be of some concern in the evaluation of a candidate for the office of POTUS.

I would guess that Carson’s views on this have not evolved, unlike politicians who change until their professed beliefs meet the approval of the mainstream media.

The dumbed down population simply needs to be told that we have remains for everything from Australopithecus to neandertal developing into modern man, and that’s exactly what they’ve been told, so they’ll conclude that Carson is an overly religious man.
