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...

“Sorry I just find hard to believe that the Earth is flat, the Earth is the center of the universe, or 6000 years old, Darwinism, etc.... Just pointing out the facts..”
Another flat earth/Darwinist scientist.
It's not you being harsh, it's these people being idiots.
Well the universe is big and big.... If we are not in the center of the Milky Way, then it proves to me that we are not the center of the universe...
Keep it up with your little kindergarten smacks. You guys flood these posts with your insults and reveal your waning IQ with every post.
If you could actually answer a question once in a while rather than just proving your ignorance somebody might take you seriously...
Why not start by squaring your ideas with Genesis.
Darwinian evolution is not science, it is a materialist creation myth based on nothing more than wishful thinking.
Absolutely.
I perish when beer drops below 15%
Im white, but Im not a cracker.
I’m a flat earther?? You are talking to a person who thinks we are not alone in this vast universe..
How many people do you believe were required, to produce the first Homo Sapiens, KevinDavis? 2? LOL!
You mean the earth isn’t flat!!!!!!!!Jeez..oh man...oh man....ahhhhhhh.
O.K. then is it slightly flat...I’m look at you Galileo Galilei and am pretty pissed.
That wasn’t my point. I just thought the video was freakin amazing! Makes me wonder how many missing house pets that have been blamed on coyotes were really the victim of large birds of prey like hawks and eagles!
Why don’t you dodge my question...
“And the people who discount young earth are denying the scriptures.
And these are the same ones who call everyone else idiots then cry because they can’t back up their own lousy theories.”
You start there... you’re the one saying you can be both a God-fearing Christian and an evolutionist. Show me your stuff... show me how what you believe lines up with Genesis and I’ll concede the point.
Ask your parents.
==Some people think you have to go to some middle eastern hellhole to find ignorant religious zealonts that preach their way or the highway.
I know, the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism brooks ZERO dissent!
cracker.
