...actively resists critical analysis?More words that have no basis in reality. Even if it were, I don't think the scientific answer to religious principle is more religion.

The ToE is simply wishful thinking based on extrapolation of conclusions arrived at from forensic evidence.
It does not meet the criteria for science, has not been observed, cannot be tested, and cannot be repeated, nor does it make any useful predictions.
It’s a philosophical construct, no matter how much darwinists try to disguise it otherwise.

c:
You cant tell me scientifically how life was originated, either, nor can you replicate it in a lab. GR:Has nothing to do with evolution.
What did the first living organism evolve from?
Or did it just pop into existence?
What criteria do you use to distinguish and differentiate life from non-life? When did the first living organism become living?

I’ve seen “proof by condescension” often on left vs right boards - always from the left, of course.

A pre-cambrian rabbit could and would be incorporated into evolutionary thought even easier than the lack of transitionals. What an artful ruse you've concocted for yourself.
On the contrary, the headlines would read something like this.....
Mammal evolution pushed back millions of year, occurred earlier than previously thought.
Rabbit now recognized as a "living fossil"
Darwinists wouldn't let some little glitch like that blow their theory out of the water. They'd find some way to explain it away.
Otherwise, they'd have no explanation left as to how life came to be on this earth that wouldn't bring them face to face with the creator they reject.
They won't let it die because their world view can't afford to let it die.

Yes, an artful ruse that frees you from having to do any real work.

Has nothing to do with evolution. Well, it sort of does actually, under the broader rubric of naturalistic explanations for life and its propagation. If life did not originate naturalistically, then there's much less of a logical reason to assume all of the rest of the naturalistic baggage that comes later.

Transitional fossils and taxonomic groups are subjective terms that help our understanding of the process. It doesnt change the fact that evolution is ongoing and constant, hence you and I are the transitional fossil between an early primate and whatever homo-sapien evolves into in several hundred million years. Mere supposition that doesn't address the extreme discreteness of the fossil record. Like it or not, the reason taxonomic groups exist to help our understanding in the first place is because of the discrete nature of the record (and of living creatures) that naturalistic evolution simply cannot explain on the macroscale.

Not much response here. Time to go to another thread.
Oceander said, Hooda, yabba, whatsamajiggee? Thats enough empty, pompous verbosity to qualify from some left-wing social-science, deconstruction theory, feminist critique magazine. Perhaps the Science section of the New York Times will publish it for you.
To: Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus
One would expect the fossil record to be discrete. Fossilization is phenomenon that is extremely rare and reliant on very specific environmental and geologic circumstances.
On the contrary, evolution is quite adequate for explaining the vast variety of living creatures on Earth. It is a method to the madness.

So? "Explanatory power" is not an indicator of factuality.

Hooda, yabba, whatsamajiggee Are those the magic words you have to chant to get evolution to work?

Any learned follower of Christ knows that trilobite fossils and mammalian fossils are not found together in God’s creation.
To: Oceander
The emphasis in punctuated equilibrium is on the equilibrium part, not on the punctuation. The theory of punctuated equilibrium places a huge emphasis on the punctuation part. In fact, it's the whole premise of that theory - that it explains the sudden (punctuated rather than a gradual) emergence of just about every animal phyla found on earth.
The theory may attempt to explain the "effect" of punctuated equilibrium, but advances very little towards the "cause" of it. Especially when considering that paleontological and geological records indicate it apparently happens only about once every 3 billion years.

You apparently don't understand what it means to say that the fossil record is "discrete."You don't even have a fundamental understanding of the claims evolution makes, demonstrated by your insistence that the theory of evolution claims to explain the origin of life. So a semantic argument seems rather irrelevant.
