Top flight scientists have something to tell you about evolution. Such statements will never be found in the popular magazines, alonside georgeous paintings of ape-man and Big Bangs and solemn pronuncements about millions of years for this rock and that fish. Instead they are generally reesrved only for professional books and journals.
Most scientists are working in very narrow fields; they do not see the overall picture, and assume, even though their field does not prove evolution, that perhaps other areas of science probably vindicate it. They are well-meaning men. The biologists and geneticists know their facts, and research does not prove evolution, but assume that geology does. The geologists know their field does not prove veolution, but hope that the biologists and geneticists have proven it. Those who do know the facts, fear to disclose them to the general public, lest they be fired. But they do write articles in their own professional journals and books, condemning evolutionary theory.
Included below are a number of admissions by leading evolutionists of earlier decades, such as *Charles Darwin*, *Austin Clark, or *Fred Hoyle. The truth is that evolutionits cannot make scientific facts fit the theory.
An asterisk (*) by a name indicates that person is not known to be a creationist. Of over 4,000 quotations in the set of books this encyclopedia is based on (see BOOKSTORE), only 164 statements are by creationists.

As a follow up, is it your contention (bondserve) that God creates the "marvels" that are tsunamis and hurricanes? (After all, it certainly seems "extremely improbable" that a tsunami of such extraordinary force would strike such heavily populated areas at such an extremely unfortunate hour during such extremely inviting weather, and this therefore appears to meet your proposed definition of "deliberate design".)
Or, for that matter, does God create the "marvels" that are aids and ebola?
Or is it just the good and cuddly "marvels" that we are talking about here?
Repetition of endlessly debunked non-argument naming creationist great scientist who died before Darwin was born and before Lyell published noted.
Oh do tell..what has evolution 'science' produced for biology?
Excellent posting.But your trying to persuade darwinites who only see the evidence they want to see:
"If I hadn't believed it, I wouldn't have seen it."
Just as men were inspired to write Gods word, others were inspired to determine what writings that "claimed" to be the word of God were and were not. Even Paul, in one place clarifies that it is not God talking but him:
1 Corinthians 7:12
To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
Meanwhile, the wisdom of the Bible has proven itself. The greatest works of man have shown their flaws over the decades and centuries, yet such a work as this has withstood the test of time even with the discoveries of the modern age, where culture and technology change as much in a decade as they did in several generations during most of human history.
And the documentation is there. A staggering amount, considering the age of the scriptures. And as the earth and solar system (and universe) give up their secrets, the Bible continues to be confirmed over and over again.
But enough about that. It is the personal relationship with Christ that actually confirms it, and that cannot be proven any more than someone could drop me in the middle of iceland and expect to prove to the people there that my wife exists.
But then, to have a personal relationship with her, I need not prove anything to them, unless they are the ones springing for my plane ticket back to her. 8^>
I got it. At one time, some men wrote the word of God but later some other men determined that those men lied and those parts of the Bible were not the word of God.
Follow some of the links here. It was found in about 20 seconds with Google. I don't have the time to dig up more of the obvious. But this should get you started. You'll learn things Jack Chick never told you about.
Somehow, I doubt that you are truly interested. But in case you are, here is rather nice synopsis of current and future practical applications of evolutionary biology:

Remove God from the equation, and that would be it. But God is in the equation.
Of course, some disagree. But ALL of us will know individually when we die. And when you die, that's it. It's between you and God. You stand alone. Utterly and completely alone.
Perhaps you could point out to me the evidence that I (who believes that ToE is the best explanation for the evidence yet proposed) am wilfully avoiding. Rub my nose in it, if you will.
Who the hell is Jack Chick? And why do you never have any answers...only overblown sources that don't reach the issue?
Again! You guys are darwinite priests that can only refer to the catechism!
And what on earth does "You guys are darwinite priests that can only refer to the catechism!" mean in connection with the article I cited?
Since some portions of the Bible were discarded since they were NOT the word of God, how, thus, did the word of MAN get into the Bible and what is to assure us that what is in the Bible now is really the word of God. It all depends upon which men you put your faith in to tell you that they have the word of God.
Yeah! What is it with these "overblown sources" anyway? You looking for us to do some reading or something? We're dealing in sound bites here, bub, and don't you forget it.
You could see it that way. But it is an overly simplistic view. My personal savior is Jesus the Christ. It is Him to which I pray and His blood to which I trust my salvation. The Bible is not what I worship. But reading it is the beginning of wisdom.
OK, I read your bloviationary profundity. Not a single word about why evolution is necessary for good biology.
Didn't you learn about Christ and salvation from the Bible?
And your last list (The modern period) begins with Clifford Burdick, who believed in giants.
Dr. Clifford Burdick of the CSRC (Creation Science Research Center) is a "flood" geologist who has spent forty years trying to prove that giant humans once roamed the earth and even mingled with the dinosaurs.And not even Answers in Genesis is backing Burdick's main claim to infamy, the Glen Rose Tracks, anymore.
Burdick has displayed a copy of his Ph.D. from the University of Physical Sciences (Phoenix, Arizona) in the Glen Rose Creation Evidence Museum. However, the State of Arizona Board of Regents, the University of Arizona Department of Geology, and the Arizona State Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology have never heard of this "university."
