But for the record, I also agree with the statement Behemoth the Cat made before being banned: "I am also a Christian who thinks “evolution” has been scientifically demonstrated.
That is simply wrong. Evolution has been scientifically disproven repeatedly over a very long period of time to such an extent that any real science theory (i.e. any theory which was actually defended for reasons related to science rather than to careers and lifestyles) would have long since been discarded.
I've mentioned the decades-long fruit fly experiments conducted in the early decades of the 1900s and the explanation for the failure of those experiments offered by the discovery of DNA. That by itself should have ended evolution as a viable theory.
Another overwhelming disproof has been the continued total failure to find intermediate fossils; Darwinism demanded that the VAST BULK OF ALL fossils be clear and unambiguous intermediates. The total lack of any such finally forced Steven Gould, Niles Eldridge and others to concoct the hare-brained "punctuated equilibria" (punk-eek) theory to replace Darwinian gradualism. Punk-eek has so many problems itself that evolutionites generally now try to present aspects of both theories as if they were compatible, which they were not.
For that matter, the other thing which Punk-eek was intended to resolve was the Haldane Dilemma, which describes the gigantic time spans which would be needed to spread any genetic change through any large herd of animals which was already spread out geographically. People who have followed the Haldane problem to its logical conclusions speak in terms of quadrillions of years for anything resembling evolution to produce our present biosphere even if that were possible, which it isn't.
Nonetheless, far from having quadrillions of years to work with, we are now gradually learning that the dinosaurs which we've been told all our lives died out 70 million years ago, were here much more recently than that and that the 70 million years are basically a fairytale. This information includes blood, meat, and other soft tissue found in dinosaur remains over the last few years:
as well as clear images of known dinosaur types in Amerind petroglyphs:
Like I say, it's basically all over but the shouting. Evolution is a dead theory walking.
Like I say, it's basically all over but the shouting. Evolution is a dead theory walking. Amen to that! Jim, I'm glad you've come out and let good Americans know where FreeRepublic, a central stalwart of conservatism that reaches millions of people, officially stands on the issue!
Evolutionists (a.k.a. evolosers) have basically ruined modern science as we know it - you'll notice that it's pretty much engineers (and, in some cases, chemists) who carry technology forward - "science", the "peer-reviewed" type, has only smashed down new ideas and hasn't contributed anything positive for at least a century!
Left and right, top to bottom, the superior, more rigorous methodology of creation science has repeatedly debunked the nonsensical musing of evolutionists! Since the advent of Darwin's nonsense, "scientists" have been pushing silliness, like a "billions of year-old earth" (soft dinosaur tissue and rapid sedimentation disproves this), "radiometric dating" (falsely assumes physical 'constants'), "stars millions of light years away" (another attempt to push old-earth and Big Bang baloneyism; triangulation of distances only works to a few hundred light years, max), "quantum mechanical leaping" (the absurd debunked notion that particles are random and jump through walls), "plate tectonics" (completely discredited by Walt Brown's esteemed hydroplate theory), "special relativity" (the absurd notion that the divine nature of time can be adjusted to our whims against all common sense; even though general relativity holds up well), "lack of a universal center" (used to prop up the failed Big Bang theory, debunked by the superior theory of Russell Humphreys), "dinosaurs living millions of years ago" (which goes against the documented Biblical Fall of Man), "ignoring the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics" (which clearly states lizard to ape to man evolution can't happen), "mutations can add information" (a clear contradiction of the 2nd Law and observations of bacteria microevolution), "stellar nuclear/evolution theory" (which ignores the dominance of electromagnetic forces in the universe), the "Big Bang theory" (that an explosion came from nothing - retrograde planetary spin and angular momentum conservation rules this out) - - - - the list keeps going! These needlessly convoluted, distorted and complex theories are little more than an attempt to confuse and deceive - the Bible warns us of "science so falsely called" (1 Timothy 6:20-21):
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. " - 1 Corinthians 14:33
The advent of the 20th century, "The Century of Evolutionism" has brought us the rise of Communism and the two worst wars in World History - close to a billion deaths. Evolutionists are monsters who have no place in conservatism, let alone civilized society! Not only should they be shunned from conservatism, but it's time to take stronger action; Godly conservatives need to actively protest the scientific minority (i.e. University "science" departments) who still promote these dead theories. With continued diligence, I predict in a few years that, like their cousins, the Global Warming Alarmists, these scientists will be arrested for fraud and abuse of research funds, their welfare funding pulled, their ivory towers smashed, and new age of scientific advancement in the Spirit of the Creator will be upon us!
Amen! Amen! Thanks Jim, for posting this thread, and spearheading the movement in the right direction! To God Be the Glory!
