Predation Did Not Come from Evolution
by Daniel Criswell, Ph.D.*
Although the origin of predation is poorly understood, it is incorrect to attribute to young-earth creation the assertion that predatory animals quickly and recently evolved the physical features necessary for predation. It is a common fallacy that carnivores evolved from a change in form and function. No physical evolution was required to change herbivores to predators--it was merely a change in behavior.
The view that an alteration of genomes and phenotypes, such as sharp teeth and claws, would have been required to supply the physical features for predation from herbivorous features common in plant-eating animals is not correct. The shape of the teeth, the ability to run fast for short distances, and all the other physical attributes given to predators can be used for acquiring plant food sources as well. A few examples of mammal diets will verify this quite well...

What do you define as a cracker, in this. Im assuming you dont mean it in a racial tone.
Ahh. Sorry. I missed it the first time. Fingers faster than brain.
Say what though?
It’s a pretty dumb game of gotcha FRiend.
Dripping green BS!!!
“Was the story of the prodigal son real? How about the Good Samaritan?”
Again, my friend... context. Obvious parable and alegory is all throughout the Bible. But Genesis follows geneology for several books after creation. The danger of what you do with scripture is there is nothing left to believe when the scissors stop moving.
And, again... give us some proof of what you believe.
To a degree, yes it is. Is massively funding the industrial buildup of a communist country a communist concept? Seems like I recall something about selling them the rope to hang us with.
And, you're all for it. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Oh well, it saved you a couple bucks. That'll show them union thugs a thing or two.
Wasn’t it you who just said you’re a commie?
inbreeding... yes. That is absolutely where the different distinctions in the same species come from. There is just no evidence of one species evolving into a completely different species.
Show me where I’m wrong...
I take the New Testament far more seriously. That doesn't diminish the Old Testament, but, hey, I eat shellfish and pork and I'm not going necessarily to harm another person just because he harmed me (eye for an eye.)
If it destroys the union here, so be it.. They are destroying this country internally.
See reply #126. I forgot to ping you to it. So now what are you going to put between your ears?
“Democrats turn into republicans. Sometimes.’
Touche’... of course that does prove Evolution. It seldom happens the other way.
Hmmmm... I may need to rethink my entire belief system.
Im glad I supply you with laughs.
Instead, all you have to do is look at the religious evolutionists on freerepublic... go figure?
BINGO!!!
And you are a religious zealot? Awesome.
Frankly rather than be a 6000 beliver, I’d rather be a commie.
pitiful
“Primitive people need to be made to understand a message in a primitive manner. Too much for you to understand?”
I’m sorry... I didn’t quite catch the sarcasm in your statement... as usual you can spout the rhetoric but have nothing solid to back up your ideas. Stay on the party line, my friend.
Keep spouting the jargon. You’ll win a few converts over to hell and die a proud man.
Congratulations.
Listen, I dont think that people are maybe communists just because they are ignorant. They just subscribe to a failed idea. Darwin hold-outs just need to be educated more.
So, by all means, let's send trillions of dollars to communist China, who will destroy us externally. At least it'll finally get ridda them there nasty union thugs.
