Darwin put forward his claim that human beings and apes descended from a common ancestor in his book The Descent of Man, published in 1871. From that time until now, the followers of Darwin's path have tried to support this claim. But despite all the research that has been carried out, the claim of "human evolution" has not been backed up by any concrete scientific discovery, particularly in the fossil field.
The man in the street is for the most part unaware of this fact, and thinks that the claim of human evolution is supported by a great deal of firm evidence. The reason for this incorrect opinion is that the subject is frequently discussed in the media and presented as a proven fact. But real experts on the subject are aware that there is no scientific foundation for the claim of human evolution. David Pilbeam, a Harvard University paleoanthropologist, says:
If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the meagre evidence we've got he'd surely say, "forget it; there isn't enough to go on."

We are not going to get anywhere arguing for or against a faith based belief. Those who oppose evolution will not accept the miraculous nature of the process God uses to ensure the survival of His creations in a dynamic environment and those opposed to Divine involvement will never accept the hand of God in anything that they believe they comprehend.
Hilarious.
What's the phrase I'm looking for? Useful ... I think Vladimir Ilyich might have liked it ... useful ... something. A noun, I think.
'I know exaxtoy"
I don't know exaxtoy, but would like to meet him! Can you arrange a meeting?
:)
That just sounds nasty!
Sure you are. You feel the need to defend your faith, which in itself is sad but also screams how insecure you are about it.
Sunni Islam?
Whaaaaaah-habi.
Into what, an evo? Spare me.
Admit what?? I am simply stating a fact one cannot believe in universal common descent and be a creationist. I am a creationist and there is a difference.
Darwinists have had so little success discussing the science of their beliefs that they have turned it into a religion. If you try to discuss science with them they will shout insults at you until you give up and go away.
There is only one interpretation....different applications....remember context is king.
It also goes against science. Check out Lee Strobel's book "A Case For a Creator". Real scientists with real facts.
Will you do a word-by-word analysis with me of the Creation accounts in Genesis?
I am willing to use the King James Version of the Bible, if that is your wish.
We will discover that the text itself, on its own terms, is gives a muddled and contradictory account.
Rather than argue evolution versus Biblical Creation, let's stipulate that we are going to take the Bible word-for-word literally and go through the text.
When we're done, we will have two conflicting accounts, and we'll be looking for all that water above the stars.
Shall we begin?
Your statement confirms that Intelligent Design is really a ploy to teach biblical creationism.
I appreciate that.
When science contradicts myth, there will always be those who are heavily invested in myth and who cannot let it go. On a more pedestrian level, how many fought the end of the pony express, how many demanded an end to the intrusion of electricity, and how many shamen in the wilderness would have fought to the death against anti-biotics? The problem is that we are not open. Instead, we are closed and set by past beliefs, even though they be ancient, by needs tracable to childhood, even though they be simplistic, and by an often overwhelming fear of change, even though it be inevitable.
"Sunni Islam?"
Please.
Your tagline says otherwise.
I'm merely raising the Darwinism debate...it's a contentious issue, wouldn't you agree?
Only to morons who believe in fairy tales.
So secure in fact that you post radical Sunni Muslim theology? Allahu Akbar!
