Evolution Is Biologically Impossible

A 'static' design theory of the universe, the world, matter and the elements that constitute the aforentioned?

Fits right in there with the "Flat Earth concept", the "Earth and Man are the center of the Universe' and other similar and erroneous concepts relegated to the trash heap of history ...

Does this man also discount the theory of germs?

I'll bet not!

I am not so sure you can so easily seperate how life began with how it evolved. If God created Adam how old was he the day he was created? I mean, if God creates reproducing life how it evolves is entirely connected to how it was created. It starts with age. If you paint a picture and years later someone tries to understand how and when it came into being they must start with the fact that it had a designer or they're going to get WAY off track, no matter how correct their math and science.

It takes faith, either way you go. No one was actually there.

... sources that don't drink snake venom?

An unsound practice. It's meant to be taken subcutaneously.

Evolution is not some omnipotent being. Through the process of random mutations and selective pressures, organisms change and adapt over time. Those who fail at survival become extinct. Those who succeed propigate and if they survive, they, too will evolve variations in their behavior and morphology. That's all it is- - -no plan - - -no blueprints. Human dentition has evolved to accomodate a softer diet and less room in the skull due to changes in the cranium shape by eliminating the wisdom teeth in some individuals. This was not a part of any great master plan.

What do the evolutionists say came first, the cell, or the DNA/RNA code to CREATE that first cell?

Don't ask them difficult questions. It only confuses them.

I would like a pro-evolutionist to explan briefly how either of the following complex systems could have evolved:

1. The human eye

2. The process of blood clotting

Answers must be 3500 words or less and cannot contain any of the phrases "could have," "might have," or "is believed to have."

The thing that always stands out to me on these threads is the arrogance and rudeness of the evolution crowd. They take it so personal.

Well I'm 54 and I believe in evolution, because God made it possible. You know you can have both.

The main thing that made me NOT believe in evolution [I never would believe in that BS anyway] is that living forms decay back into dirt ...

I wonder how you account for the multitude of SIMILARITIES in the genes that ALL living creatures/insects etc posses?

Do you just ignore it?

The same way that those who opposed Pastuer argued that small GERMS could NOT POSSIBLY be the cause of disease?

Do *you* wash your hands time and time again for something YOU cannot see?

Why is that?

I mean - you CAN'T see those germs and they are NOT identified in the Bible either ...

Personally, I believe in evolution, just not with our species. There is no evidence, whatsoever that humans evolved from lesser forms, NONE. There is proof of footprints of man just as old as dinosaur prints though. Man was created directly in the image of God, and science cannot even get close to disproving that. Now, everything else, it could have all started as amoebas that God initially created for just that purpose.

I don't limit God. The only fact I know is of His existence. The rest is all trivial.

Hey, that's not fair. You know that is their realm of expertise. Evolution "could have" done anything they say it "might have" done (if you only "believe").

Also, why fruit's and vegetables? I mean, I know non-creationists say that plants somehow figured out that animals would eat the fruit and spread the seeds, but wouldn't that require rational thought?

1. The human eye

What an excellent question! The eye has a lens to focus light. a retina, a cornea, the eyeball itself, and the "wiring" back to the brain. Did the wiring "evolve" before the eyeball? If so, what would impell the organism to "design" wiring if nothing was attached to it?

If the eyeball came first, how did the organism get the necessary feedback to know if the eyeball design was best, without the wiring back to the brain?

Furthermore, without the eye having ALL the necessary components (say it had a lens but no retina, or a cornea but no lens, etc) then how could it get the necessary design feedback to even START the design?
