Fossils Don't Lie: Why Darwinism Is False (Part III)

Discovery Institute ^ | April 27, 2009 | Jonathan Wells, Ph.D.

“To take a line of fossils and claim that they represent a lineage is not a scientific hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that carries the same validity as a bedtime story—amusing, perhaps even instructive, but not scientific.” ...

Fossils don’t lie, but men do.

I can’t think of a better description of the Temple of Darwin fanatics who would rather destroy science than admit that God’s creation is falsifying their fanciful creation myth! LOL!!!

[IonInsights]

Agreed. The Young Earth Republicans continue to embarrass the party and themselves.

Can you reveal how the “Darwin fanatics” are destroying science”

Ask them if they think that Mt Rushmore could be done by soil erosion if we waited 100 billion years.

[Gondring]

It’s difficult to tell whether Jerry Coyne’s editor is bad and mislabeled a figure, or this author (Dr. Wells) is intentionally distorting an argument, or what happened.

It seems like Dr. Wells just doesn’t have a grasp of the subject and is critiquing a falsely simplified explanation.

Should I ask them if they still beat their wives while I'm at it?

Fossils nether lie or tell the truth..
Fossils are what they are.. whatever that is..

A whole lot of "if'n" between an entity and a fossil..
OH! the Tales to be told and Yarns to be spun..
Fossils breed imagination and story telling in humans..
Fossils are meat(JuJu bags) for scientific Shamans..

Fools.

Da Debbil buried all them fake fossils to shake people’s faith in Jaysus!

[Vaquero]

The clay became man at the moment in which a being for the first time was capable of forming, however dimly, the thought of “God.” The first Thou that—however stammeringly—was said by human lips to God marks the moment in which the spirit arose in the world. Here the Rubicon of anthropogenesis was crossed. For it is not the use of weapons or fire, not new methods of cruelty or of useful activity, that constitute man, but rather his ability to be immediately in relation to God. This holds fast to the doctrine of the special creation of man . . . herein . . . lies the reason why the moment of anthropogenesis cannot possibly be determined by paleontology: anthropogenesis is the rise of the spirit, which cannot be excavated with a shovel. The theory of evolution does not invalidate the faith, nor does it corroborate it. But it does challenge the faith to understand itself more profoundly and thus to help man to understand himself and to become increasingly what he is: the being who is supposed to say Thou to God in eternity.

They have grown around their heads that prohibits the entry of rational thought
