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...

Right...All those big leg bones of dinosaurs are plastic, huh?
LMAO.
Bingo. To a person of real faith, it doesn’t diminish belief one bit.
Correct, bed time story for children.
Have you forgotten... The T-Rex was on Noah’s Ark..
You a Dawinista?

“The Old Testament was written for primitive people to understand a greater message.”
And in what ancient writing did you find this little tidbit. In the same one that supports evolution?
With all due respect that’s an ignorant line to throw out there and shows no thought on your part. What I’m running into with evolutionists is that they accuse young earth creationists of spouting the company line, yet you guys all sound like a broken record with your parable/alegory stories. Give me some evolutionary proof and I’ll listen very close. Not just scattered bones and the ever-so-accurate carbon dating.
That is correct.. My faith god is not threaten by science.. My faith is strong..
Btw, did I mention the Evos have finally been forced to admit what Creationists have been predicting all along?
LOL! Yep. Right next to the Pteradactyl.
Inbreeding in humans does not involve sexual reproduction? Who knew, lol?
“PatHimself”
I was going to quote your intelligent post but decided instead to point out your quote pertaining to what you obviously do in your spare time...
and somehow the T-Rex didn’t eat the mammals and Noah himself was a miracle..
Until they couldn’t pay the mortgage asked for a bailout and Noah said NO.
Noah first proud member of the “Party of NO”
Bad part is Noah didn’t save the people of Bedrock..
==What in the hell is a Darwinista??
They are the commie materialists who are currently attempting to infiltrate the conservative movement so they can destroy it from within d;op
