Where do I start?

For example, what are the chances of a new species surviving in a hostile environment before the development of the clotting mechanism?

Also, how many mutations (or years) would it require for a new species to develop a working clotting mechanism?

I wonder how many times they would have to bleed to death before they decided to make blood that clots.

But of course the very mechanism by which they are supposed to produce such mutations would contradict survival of the fittest. I mean by bleeding to death they learn to produce blood that clots?

The absurdities of the theory evolution never cease to amaze me.

A few more points; "Blood clotting requires extreme precision. When a pressurized bloodcirculation system is punctured, a clot must form quickly or the animal will bleed to death. On the other hand, if blood congeals at the wrong time or place, then the clot may block circulation as it does in heart attacks and strokes.

Furthermore, a clot has to stop bleeding all along the length of the cut, sealing it completely. Yet blood clotting must be confined to the cut or the entire blood system of the animal might solidify, killing it.

Consequently, clotting requires this enormously complex system so that the clot forms only when and only where it is required."

It is inconceivable that evolution could produce such a system. It is another example of strong evidence for creation by an intelligent Creator. Just as the Bible teaches.

A very few links from the famous "list-o-links" (so the creationists don't get to start each new thread from ground zero).

The foregoing is just a tiny sample. So that everyone will have access to the accumulated Creationism vs. Evolution threads which have previously appeared on FreeRepublic, plus links to hundreds of sites with a vast amount of information on this topic, here's Junior's massive work, available for all to review:

Your crime is thinking outside the E-box.

Your punishment will be the ability to see outside the E-box.

This, of course, will steam the neo-religious daridiots.

Actually, eurythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes, all are produced from one type of master blood stem cell, so it is conceivable that a being entirely lacking of thrombocytes could easily receive them, as the master blood cell holds the key to all types of blood cell. So, in the model of evolution, blood did not occur first, and then things bled to death. Rather, when blood came about, the entire package came with it. In short, blood never did exist without the clotting mechanism and the entire assumption that we had to learn to clot is based upon a rather flawed understanding of human physiology.
