Evolution is real and can be proven in the laboratory with bacterial species.
The theory of evolution is not inherently anti-God.
Variance is real, but you can't tell me that evolution can be proven within a lab. No one knows how new species are created. That is the only fact I can see in this thread.
The theory of the evolution of life is independent of the question of whether there is a God, but can be related.
Many Creationists reject biological evolution out of hand due to their perception that evolution excludes God, which is not true.
Atheists like to discuss evolution, establish their case, then slide into philosophical evolution which does exclude god.
Both are not logical necesities, and the latter is blatantly fraudulent.
If this statement is true we have nothing to argue about. f it can be demonstrated that an organism gains in complexity via natural means, evolution would be believable.
It has not been demonstrated that any organism has gained beneficial complex information that should be observable in nearly every lifeform if evolution were true. Imagine the beneficial increases in complex information that are needed to create a functioning eye.
The labaratory only observes adaptations of the existing information. Mutations are damaging to the functionality of the organism.
Try taking a sledge hammer to your car engine expecting it to consistantly improve engineering functionality. Now build the entire car that way (Living organism are far more sophisticated engneering marvels than a car engine).
The language of the Genesis creation account is not the language of analogy. Linguistic analysis clearly shows that the language of Genesis, unlike other old testament books, is not figurative, but factual/declarative. Furthur, there is no mention of "death" in Genesis, until after the fall, well after all God's creative effort had rested. Lastly, it wasn't until the very end of day 6, that God authorized "eating." Days 5 and 6 in the evolutionary model require billions of years of "eat, live, die" which has no analogue in the Genesis account.
Evolution is real and can be proven in the laboratory with bacterial species.
The real clincher would be creating a simple bacterium from non-life.
The theory of evolution is not inherently anti-God.
On the contrary, with natural mechanisms responsible for all life, there is no longer a need for a "creator" God and He can thus be dismissed as a myth.
We have been observing earth's species for 5000 years. If you look at the skelton of a St.Berhnard and a chiuwua they would be classified in diffferent species, different genera, and probably in different family and order. We have never seen one species give rise to another species. The best we are able, through genetic manipulation is breed sterile hybrids. But you can if you make allowance for physical barriers breed the chiuwawa to the St. Berhnard and get a dog. Please tell me of your bacteriological species and that proof. I've spent 25 years as a micrbiological lab technician, biologist, surgeon and have not been convinced. Please educate me.
It does?????
