Ah, so you going to believe some Commie because he says so?
Does it say god created a sea creature that transformed into an ape that evolved into a human? i think not, I believe it says something like 'god created man.'
An interesting observation, if you think about it a little bit.
It was somewhere between a modern tarsier and a modern galago, and that's the nearest to it.
can electricity be studied? proven? meet all 3 criteria? yes. evolution does not. You keep believing your a monkey and I will believe you are a creation of the lord in his image.
"advancement" is not a term to be bandied about concerning genetics.
just because we dominate the world with our wits and hands does not mean that the molecular structure of our genes is any slicker than that of any other mammal.
No, I'm going to believe the vast mountains of evidence supporting evolution, which I've personally studied.
1. The postulate can't be observed.
2. The postulate can't be repeated for experimental verification.
3. The postulate must withstand a falsifiability test, or an experiment must be conceived the failure of which would disprove the postulate.
as your theroy doesnt meet the criteria to even be a theroy you have great chutzpah to believe in it.
1. The postulate can't be observed.
Sure it can. I've observed evolution occurring.
2. The postulate can't be repeated for experimental verification.
Sure it can. Hint for the clueless: *Verifications* need to be repeatable, not specific *events*. We don't have to actually be able to repeatedly move continents around in order to be able to repeatedly verify plate tectonics.
Events like the specific movements of the continents over the past several hundred million years -- or the evolution of modern life forms -- leave countless traces of their passage, which can be *repeatedly* verified in different ways in order to verify that they did, indeed, occur, and by what processes.
3. The postulate must withstand a falsifiability test, or an experiment must be conceived the failure of which would disprove the postulate.
Of course -- like this: 29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent. Be sure to read the sections on "Potential Falsifications", as well as the page on the scientific method, since you seem quite confused about how it actually works.
as your theroy doesnt meet the criteria to even be a theroy you have great chutzpah to believe in it.
As it *does* meet the criteria of a scientific theory, *and* has made huge numbers of specific predictions which have been found to be accurate, *and* passed vast numbers of falsification tests with flying colors, you have great chutzpah in making false accusations based on your lack of knowledge on this topic.
Are you sure you know what in the heck you're talking about? Because it sure doesn't look like it from here.
pretty strange that not one, chimp-human has ever been found...
also strange that humans haven't reverted back... at least in a few births... How come they ALL evolved? hmmm you keep sticking with your nonsense and I will stick with the truth.
Sure it can. I've observed evolution occurring.
you have observed exactly what? microevolution or macroevolution? uh huh thats what I thought.
There are over a hundred documented case of such tails in humans.
hmmm apes dont have tails...
Not one -- dozens: Prominent Hominid Fossils, Hominid Species
And this chart is several years out of date -- many more have been found in the past few years.
you have observed exactly what? microevolution or macroevolution?
Yes.
uh huh thats what I thought.
Are the voices in your head answering your own questions for you? If so, they're answering them incorrectly.
I'd be happy if you even started making *sense*... Your reaching the truth is unfortunately too much to hope for.
No, but our common ancestor did.
