How exactly do we define it? -tribune7-

How 'bout:

1) Organisms change over time.
2) All organisms share a common ancestor.

Hmm, if what you say is what evolution is about then evolution is false:

1. There are numerous examples of organisms that have not changed over time: sharks, the coelacanth, even the oldest bacteria known are still the same today. In fact we still have examples of just about every single species that has walked on earth except for the dinosaurs. If species did indeed change over time, if they were constantly mutating, such would not be the case.

2. False again. The simplest organisms known - the eukaryotes, the prokaryotes and the archae have been shown to be genetically incompatible and to have in no way been able to descend one from the other. In addition to which I have given you the examples of the platypus and euglena which are chimeras of many different species and could in no way have descended from any species. If that is not bad enough, evolutionists have never been able to show a single species which has definitely transformed itself into another even though such examples should be extremely common if evolution were true.

Breathtakingly silly, even for you. There have been several 90 percent-of-all-species extinctions. (Two of them frame the Mesozoic.) And the term "Dinosaur" isn't a species, it's two whole orders of reptiles containing probably thousands of species.

Your typical fossil, plant or animal, is something extinct. No more trilobites, ammonites, anomalocarids, any of those Vendian fauna (Spriggina, Hallucigenia, etc.) No more Pleistocene megafauna. No more synapsid reptiles. No more australopithecines. No more Caudipteryx, Archaeopteryx, Sinornithosaurus, Sinosauropteryx. No more Hyracotherium/eohippus. And the fossils of modern mammals and birds don't go very far down in the sediments. Especially genus Homo.

Another just flat wrong gore3000 propaganda blast.
