Don't feed the platypi!
Looks like now man evolved from the platypus. If no other creature has the triple boned ear, it must have been. /Creationist mocking off
Think of it this way -- evolution doesn't deny God -- it shows us all the wonders of His creation and how He made things. That's what science does -- helps us get more and more in awe of God. Those that try to say science replaces God aren't really great scientists -- look at Einstein, he was a devoted worshipper.
"Do people really not understand that evolution involves random mutations and then the death of all non-mutated individuals and their offspring?"
Everything individual dies, but some individuals manage to reproduce themselves beforehand. Also I think your argument above ignores crossover.
"Gould's idea of rerunning the tape of life is not hypothetical; it's happening all around us. And the result is well known to biologists — evolutionary convergence."
THINK for yourself! If you were to come upon an object on Mars in the shape of a polished table or even a perfect triangle, you would immediately recognize the probability of intentional design. Why, then, do you fail to see the designer's hand in the breathtaking complexity of the simplest one-celled organism?
I have found that ardent evolutionists invariably point to what someone else says, rather than using their own power of reason.
Bless you for posting that.
Cool! :-)
:-} I'll bet.
Hi! Actually, I was just posting those quotes to show, in the evolutionists own words, the inconsistencies of evolution theory. The slow, methodical march of RM/NS seems to be insufficient to account for the complex morphological transformations we see in nature.
I agree with what you said, btw. :)
Agree. Evolutionists have to deal with many stubborn facts. Such as the predominance of sexual reproduction. How would a successfully mutated individual advantage its offspring by mating with a non-mutated individual and diluting or eliminating its genetic advantage in that offspring?
I was thinking the other day about all of the distinct breeds of dogs that were -- yes -- designed by human intervention. What do you think would happen if all humans were suddenly removed and those dogs ran wild and interbred? It is most likely that you would soon end up with the conglomerated brown/gray mutt that you see hanging around in poor third world countries. In other words, the dogs that may have developed some survival "advantage" over the others would nonetheless copulate with the first hot bitch -- be it chihuahua or doberman -- that they found. That's what undirected randomness involves.
I understand perfectly the import of your posting. It is amusing that ardent evolutionists seem to find the article supportive!
"I have found that ardent evolutionists invariably point to what someone else says, rather than using their own power of reason."
Point to what somebody else says, like say, 1 chapter of a 1-bazillion year old book written secondhand by a few dozen different people?
Platypus Ping
I thought a platypus was the love child of a near-sighted beaver and a seductive mallard.
