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...

an australian independence movement fighting a guerilla war against what they deem Monarchist Captitalist Pigs who dance upon the graves of poor children and aborigines. founded in 1983 by Paul Hogan (Not Paul Hogan of Crocodile Dundee and Crocodile Dundee 2) a native of the city of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia in response to Thacherite atrocities in and around the Southern Pacific. Jailed in 1998 for the fire-bombing of the First Starbucks In Australia, he hung himself in order to avoid martyrdom (which he opposed on religious grounds). Leaderless, the Darwinistas have stuck mainly to letter-writing campaigns and the occasional Cane Toad Protest.
Thanks for the ping!
Well at least you admit your Evo-religion is based purely on subjective emotion. And seeing how the Commies banned and persecuted those who believe in the Creator-God of the Bible, you are in good company.
LOL
“A belief is not science and stop trying to push that in my sons science class.
He gets GOD in Sunday school and science in class...stop trying to mix the two.”
Crap... I didn’t even know your son was in my science class. I’ll have a couple of the other kids give him a swirlie tomorrow in the locker room.
And as for the second statement, I don’t remember the separation of God and school in the Constitution. Were you not aware this site is run by Constitution loving God-fearing folks?
For the tenth time, I was just kidding. Didn’t you see the face I put at the end of my sentence?...d;op
Are you hearing a loud whooshing sound, along about now, lol?
Honestly, I’m really worried this site is being taken over by these DU’s. There ought to be a law...
No your belief is based on radical religious, burn everyone who disagrees dogma.
Remind you of anyone?
I wasnt following the entire thread. Sorry.
==A belief is not science and stop trying to push that in my sons science class
This just in from Texas! Criticizing Darwood’s fanciful creation myth is now part of science class. LOL :o)

yes comic books and coloring book stories are much more factual.
Yep, they’re like the sabertoothed tiger in the Flinstones. You throw them out the front door, and they come right back in through the window.

You.
Green cheese!!!
Oh is God mentioned in the constitution...nah thought not.
Yeah, it took an act from Congress...
Really.....well when you are potting women in burkas, I’ll remember that.
Judging by their actions these days, it probably won’t be long before they are regulating the eating habits of wild animals.
