Haven't participated in a good heated argument lately... ;-)

[orionblamblam]

Hmmm.

God made His creatures to reproduce "after their own kind," and it appears from the fossils that they have done just that. ... This is presented to school children as no less certain than Washington's crossing of the Delaware.

There.

[pikachu]

I've been told all the bones before homo erectus ever found will fit easily into one phone booth. Hard to conclusively base millions of years of evolution on so little evidence.

[SkyDancer]

Hmmmm - ok
Why can't they do a DNA sample of these old guys/gals (teeth are a great source - sealed) and compare it with modern man ... see what traits are there ... then too, why has some species "evolved" and some not? Is there a master plan evolutionist 'god' that determines what will advance and what won't .... and finally, if evolution is an ongoing thing, what are we going to evolve into - pink twitted newts?????

[vetsvette]

You mean that Darwin might have been wrong??

What a surprise!

[Shermy]

"Haven't participated in a good heated argument lately... ;-)"

Yeah, these evolution threads. Genesis 1 is big-bang and evolution wrapped into one but since there are small inconsistencies with what we know today in the order of events the fanatics can't accept it - to do so would call into question every other detail of the bible as interpretable and "wrong" or misplaced.

[Buck W.]

The theory of evolution is entirely consistent with belief in a Creator.

I would no more pay attention to scientific advise from the Institute for Creation Research than I would pay attention to economics advise from the Socialist Workers' Party.

[DoctorMichael]

The Institute for Creation Research?

I saw a bumper sticker that pretty much sums it up for me ... but not in the way the owner wanted or intended.

It said ... "Fine, I evolved, you didn't"

I laughed and agreed. Told my little girl that the bumper sticker proved my point. There are a class of people that indeed evolve from ameba's, pagans/atheist. My descendants were created whole, by the one true GOD.

[David Allen]

I have a point of view that isn't very popular with either creationists or evolutionists.

But the bottom line is this: I don't believe evolution explains US, modern humans, and our sudden emergence with so many attributes not seen before.

And, I believe in God.

[Echo Talon]

A couple bones from here a couple bones from there and a bunch of speculation from everywhere makes for a very weak theory.

[Dracian]

I'm not quite sure of his first argument. He seems to be saying that species categorization by morphology is flawed because they only differ by shape.

That's like saying the rainbow is all the same color because it only varies by wavelength.

Of course color categorization is going to have arbitrary boundries -- wavelengths vary contiuously. But we know red is sufficiently different from blue to name them. Same ways with fossil bones.

His second argument that there are examples of 6000 year old H. erectus is a factual claim for which he provides no evidence.

Not married, I see.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Similar to the coherency value present in other fairy tales.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

God made His creatures to reproduce "after their own kind," and it appears from the fossils that they have done just that.

Speaking of statements no less certain than Washington's crossing of the Delaware...

Where's the proof that the Biblical account of creation is more valid than the Hindu one? Or the Wiccan one?

[Dead Dog]

Honost question; Have we been able to produce a genetic strain in animals that is capable of producing fertle offspring in their own "species" but not with members of their origin "species".

That would be pretty convincing proof, but I don't believe it has been done.

[hosepipe]

Remember those heated arguments back when I was a primate..
You know, before being born again as another creature..

Its what primates do.. shaking limbs and making noises..
