I like Ann and usually agree with her 100% but this time I disagree 100%. She is completely misinterpreting evolution.

Evolution is an absolute fact, and you can witness it in the laboratory with bacteria and viruses, and to me is just one more tool of God that is constantly going forth.

How does she explain race? Are Asians the same as Africans? Whites the same as aboriginals? Of course not. Obviously each has evolved as a result of environment. What she is doing is misinterpreting that.

Life does not evolve to adapt to the environment, rather the environment determines who survives and who doesn’t. Either you got the goods or you don’t. If you don’t you die which is why we have all those fossils of dead primate species. How can she say there is no “fossil evidence”? Is she kidding? And that’s just primates.

Last article she speaks about 40 moving parts in a cell. Well that’s great and all, but I doubt that same cell would be working so well if it was placed on Mars. It would just be seen as a complete bio mess, shiet in other words. A mega-fail.

All life that you see today is not life that has evolved but rather what is left over.

Think of it this way: Modern humans are approx. 200k years old which is a blink of an eye, and look how different we look between the races.

Now imagine billions of years of that. 3.8 billion years I believe. Billions of years which when it comes to life might as well be infinity.

To me it’s not about how complicated life is, but why it isn’t MORE complicated in that amount of time seeing how fast a species can change and the reason is once again the environment.

Evolution never happened in the laboratory.

Variation within species has.

There's a big difference.

I suspect that in billions of years, we would still be humans, with the same number of chromosomes, ability to reproduce only with other humans. We might look different, be taller/shorter, intermingling of races may result in one race. Humans living in different parts of the world for long periods of time will still “adapt”. But the species will still be, at the DNA level, present day humans.

Evolution is an absolute fact,

Even Dawkins ain't THIS sure!

[Elsie]

Well that’s great and all, but I doubt that same cell would be working so well if it was placed on Mars.

How about an Earth of a billion years ago?

Agreed.

Why isn't there any EVIDENCE of "E" around us today?

All kinds of critters ought to have all kinds of useless parts hanging off of them, stuff that WON'T get passed on to the next generation!

"Evolution is an absolute fact, and you can witness it in the laboratory with bacteria and viruses, and to me is just one more tool of God that is constantly going forth."

Evolution is an absolute fallacy and has nothing whatsoever to do with God.

The mistake that all evolutionary believers make is in assuming that, just because they see something in the lab, that it supports evolution. That is the fallacy of affirming the consequent.

It is foolishness to claim that effects generated by a complex biological-system have created that complex biological-system. That is begging the question.

In short, there is no shortage of logical fallacies that are used to 'support' evolution and that means that it remains firmly in the realm of belief, not fact.
