Response to PBS series Evolution
Answers In Genesis ^ | 9/01 | Jonathan Sarfati

This program aims to show that biological forces rather than the environmental ones drive evolution most strongly. But real evolution requires changes that increase genetic information, while non-information-increasing changes are part of the creation model. None of the examples presented in Episode 4 prove that information has increased, so provide no support of evolution over creation.

Check out these refutations to the first four episodes. Ken Ham (featured in the episode, "What About God?" tonight) and his website have many wise answers and surprises so many who believe in an "evolution only" view of creation.

Would that be a spontaneous super bowl of strangers--players--audience...who would announce--explain--officiate--sponsor it?

Another fundamentalist jihad against science and logic.

I was listening to Focus on the Family today and Dr. Dobson was describing the damage this PBS series is causing, particularly because it is going to be used in public schools. He referred his listeners to a website, www.reviewevolution.org, which has a discussion guide which refutes the "scientific" findings they assert in the series.

Evolution will stand on its own merits, which are many...but
listening to Dobson rave and whine and lie is a good
introduction to those who just can't let their fractured fairy tale
version of the Bible go.

The Free Market operates on the same principles as nature forming complexity out of apparent chaos.

Is the "free market" like gravity...chaos--floating--no north/south pole?

Yes. It's called "implicate order", and there are many other examples, in societies, ecologies, and individual living organisms. You might also checkm out d'Arcy Thompson's classic On Growth and Form.

Richard Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker also discusses this problem. Once you understand how random mutation interacts with non-random selection, most of the puzzle goes away.

Implicate order sounds like creation/science to me!

Doen't the Free Market system form a spontaneous order that is superior to a created economy?

Exactly, a classical liberal--a true conservative believes God made laws--systems will reach optimum equity-efficiency and all the man made forces of evolution will self destruct---collapse with no foundation, lacking natural/scientific forces to support them---evolution is 10% theft---90% fantasy-spin just like your example--twisted!

Fill in the between--before and after empty spaces with your evolution fantasy nonsense---call creation evolution and think you are so witty...yeah no creation...no you-life--no evolution too--just twist things around to make you think you are-know something--jump-flip-olution...reminds me of clinton--bridgeolution---lie-o-lution too!

What is the Creation model, and what is your evidence FOR it? I'll wait here, patiently.
