I'd like a Creationist to explain why whales have small muscles devoted to moving their ears, when they don't have any ears.
So true. Evolution is like rust: I can argue that the model T is rusting away in the field. Rust is what is happening to it, but rust is not what created it.
Many creationists think that by talking evolution at all we are denying that God created life. Of course He created life. That doesn't mean life can't "evolve" or even "de-evolve" (which I think might be the more accurate description) after creating it. After all, I do not think man is as physically pure as he was when God initially created the first ones, male and female.
The big missing link, of course, with evolution theory is how life began in the first place. That is why many studying the evolution of life become believers in a "creator" while still trying to piece together what happened to life after creation.
The biggest problem with these "evolutionists" who believe there is a creator is that although they believe He could create the first DNA strand, they can't accept that He could have created a fully developed man, fish or planet. They believe to a point. Their creator or "god" is severely limited.
Worse, they presume to know why he would have created everything from a starting point of a single cell or DNA or RNA. They flatter themselves. To equate their staggeringly puny mental abilities to those of the creator of life itself is like my dog sitting in judgement on why I go to work everyday.
My dog's brain is limited. Our brains are too. Some of us have reached the mental heights to at least know that much. Others are such mental pygmies that they don't even know that they don't know.
He spoke, and it was made.
He commanded, and it stood fast. - Psalm 33
What is your proof? You use your false statistics to try to disprove the only usable theory on how life began without offering a counter-theory. If only we are to believe you ....
ANY eye. Now answer the question, unless you accept evolution uncritically. You can't really have that simplistic a world view can you?
Therefore all dogs should look the same, because human devised breeding techniques which "evolve" the species into useful creatures like sheepdogs and poodles should be impossible. i.e. All Dogs Are Wolves
I would like a pro-evolutionist to explan briefly how either of the following complex systems could have evolved:Do you deny the existance of SO MANY genes that are identical between SO MANY different species INCLUDING MAN?
Why is that - how can SO MANY things be found IN MAN and also SO MANY animals?
HOW IS IT that animals have eyes, brains, hearts and LUNGS like we do - and YET we can think and reason - YET the animals have 100% of what we have physiologically?
WHY is it that NO LIFEFORMS arose out of compounds other than carbon and didn't make use of GENES (which contain those 'blueprints' passed around from various species for eyes and brains and other 'complex systems'.)?
LIFE on earth has *more* of a common denominator than even the 'creationists' can conceive.
To believe as they do - they must *actually* place limits on God's abilities and God's notion of the universe and ignore his many laws that the universe he created obeys.
They are instead imposing their own narrow, restricted view of nature *and* of God on God and his wonderful and many-splendored creation ...
Ok. For those of us without the benefit of your scientific knowlege, explain what the replicator is, and what would be required to design it. Thanks.
And why would that fact make you NOT believe in evolution? In the survival of the fittest, it is eat or be eaten. Even in death, the remains are usually devoured by something.
