What I mean is that the ICR seems to think there’s only two theories out there, so if they can criticize Evolution enough, then “Creationism” automatically wins by default, no need to supply any proof. That’s not the way Science works - let’s see your proof before we believe.
Besides, the evidence for Evolution is vast and complex, so nitpicking about little points does nothing to invalidate the overall concept.
The Bible is a beautiful and powerful book, but it was never intended as a guide to the geological or biological history of the earth, nor should it be.
Just saying.
No evidence for evolution at all. Adaptation? Yep, lots of it. Evolution? Not so much.
The Bible has everything we need to know for us to know God and live. Granted it is not a science book, nor is it intended to be. But Genesis says the Lord created all the animals to reproduce according to their kind. The Lord did NOT make a living cell, telling it to evolve and change and fill the planet with life. Nor did He tell the Lemur that it was the chosen precursor for a being that will have a soul.
I believe, in and on faith, what the Bible says, there is NO part of it that is false. Notice I did not say that it explains everything. That understanding comes later. But in the meantime, it is true and sufficient.
Actually I find it a fascinating geological Guide to history having been a fossil hunter myself. I get where you are coming from, but true science is not random, it tends to arrive at destinations that are foundation stones of further growth. The problem with evolution is that it has become a religion as its scientific tenant fades in the light of modern research. As a foundation stone, it has failed utterly.
ICR is a scientific Christian apologetic group, not research focused. So it is not going to find new paths, just cement in place traditional science.
Science itself if true stands on its own in the end, but it’s history has always been political/religious. Sometimes it takes generations to break free. To me agnosticism is a lack of observation, atheism is a religion just like any other.
Science is spawned in a soup of preconceived conclusions.
two words: irreducible complexity
