Do Fossils Show a Worldwide Record of Evolution?

Pinging for Fossils!

[Lexinom]

You're asking for trouble :-)

Have a fossilized red herring-
that nonsense is full of them

[dasboot]

Peter Sadler musta studied with Professor Irwin Cory.

I thought lawyers were the worst abusers of language.To wit:

"Paleobiologists can extract considerable information [sic] about the phylogenetic sequence [sic] of taxa by analyzing the morphology of fossils, without recourse to stratigraphic information. But these insights [sic] do not yet aid the correlation task as much as they might. To date, more effort has been committed to questions concerning the place of stratigraphic information in cladistic analyses of morphology than to the possibility that the resulting cladograms provide independent evidence of sequence that can improve biostratigraphy"

Mmmmmm, beer.

Gaps: “Relative to marine Cenozoic correlation problems, nonmarine instances suffer from a lack of continuous sections,”

What exactly are gaps and continuous sections? Fossil don’t take well to the ages, as a result only a small percentage of a given population in a time period is preserved and discovered. Evolution is a continuous process. Between any two consecutive fossils, another missing link can be inserted (if found). Every such insertion would replace a “gap” with two “gaps.”

The fact is, there is only a limited amount of fossils available. Most of the time, these are not the ones that we want, but rather those that preserved well. If we were to plot out the complete evolutionary course of species, we would need a fossil evidence of each generational member throughout all lineages. Basically, we would need all the calcium bones ever grown by a living being. Filling in the “gaps” is an irrational proposition from an irrational stance.

Mmmmmm, beer.

Are you sure you didn't mean [hic] instead of [sic]?

[Lexinom]

Careful bond. You're threatening their tenuous excuse for a worldview. Better watch it! They'll come at you with big words and fancy expressions, to show how stupid you are and how smart they are (oh my!!!)

[Reagan Man]

Creationists think fossils and evolution are the work of the devil. I think fossils and evolution are the work of God the creator.

Trouble is my brother. :-)

Well, at least this is an attempt at scientific explanation.....it's a bit more than some book claiming that a Jewish hippy is the son of God.

[bondserv]

Creationists think fossils and evolution are the work of the devil. I think fossils and evolution are the work of God the creator.

I would rephrase your statement:

Creationists think the fossil record's interpretation by evolutionists is choreographed by the Devil. Fossils are the work of dead animals buried rapidly, not allowing for decomposition.

[Oztrich Boy]

And some people mock Mohammedanism because it's based on accepting as Truth what a primitive Middle-Eastern herdsman understood. Go figure.

[Lexinom]

Even it, though, has more of a basis for truth than that which passes for science which attempts to deny the foundation of truth by denying first causes. To deny a sovereign God is to deny the laws of logic, which would then stand as transcendent truth on their own. Completely illogical.

[canuck_conservative]

Evolutionary theory isn't perfect, but it's still the BEST explanation of all the available evidence.

[Lexinom]

As a creationist, I find this statement intriguing: "I think fossils and evolution are the work of God the creator".

Many pursue the natural sciences diligently in hope of raising an explanation for our existence that excludes the need for Creation by an all-powerful Being. Given the fact you acknowledged a Creator, would one be correct in assuming this is not you?

[Righty1]

Get a fing clue! While you fiddle Rome burns! The issue is beating islam and excluding all muSSlime immigrants from our LAND!

[Lexinom]

...since of course we cannot accept the Bible's explanation, because that would mean we're all accountable for actions and have ramifications for the way we ought to live...

[Gargantua]

"Notice that “gap” is a loaded word. What if it is a brute fact that the data are discontinuous? Then that is the true sequence; there are no gaps. A gap is only a gap if you assume evolution. Why not face the evidence squarely: living taxa are discontinuous, and fossil taxa are discontinuous. They appeared abruptly, and some died abruptly. If it weren’t that such an admission destroys Darwinism, that would be what the textbooks would matter-of-factly present."

There exists no proof of Evolution, only data which suggest that we actually do live in the fallen, decaying world described in Genesis (and Revelation).

What the technobabble crowd crow about as being evidence of Evolution is, in fact, the fossil record of a world in genetic decline since the sin event recorded in the Garden of Eden.

In other words, the evidence used to hype Chucky's flawed Theory is actually proof of the Truth found only in the Bible.

Choose this day Whom you will serve. It is either God or Satan... there exists no middle ground.

Yes. Any other questions?
