    Apparently, Haeckel’s fraudulent embryo drawings are still shamelessly passed off as factual in some modern biology textbooks. You can’t trust the cult of Darwinism - the whole point of which is to deceive people into believing that life on earth arose all by itself and no God was needed to...

    Once again, you’ve missed the point. I’m not arguing against evolution - God could well have created insects from crustaceans. The point is, there is no fossil evidence of evolutionary links between crustaceans and insects - insects appear suddenly - which presents a problem for Darwinism.

    You're clutching at straws. That is simply evidence of the natural selection of a pre-existing genetic variation within a species … no different to the light/dark moth scenario. It is not evidence that competition between predators and prey produces new body plans or novel organs.

    As far as the science of paleontology is concerned, a “soft-bodied organism” has neither a exoskeleton, nor an endoskeleton. Your layman’s definition is irrelevant to this discussion. A “proper” definition? There are many definitions for biological evolution out there, but the one I settled on...

    You seem to have overlooked the possibility that the folks at the Discovery Institute oppose Darwinism for purely scientific reasons, not because of something they read in the Bible (I can assure you they are considerably more intellectually sophisticated than your garden-variety YEC...

    Please do. I want to know how we can "learn and understand" the process responsible for a bird evolving from a reptile simply by examining fossils. Comparing erosion to reptile-bird evolution is a rather poor argument. We can learn and understand the erosion of mountains because that process...

    Name one application of medical science that has resulted from accepting the Darwinian claim that all life on earth evolved from a common ancestor via a process of mutations and natural selection. Our knowledge of mutations and natural selection has proven useful, but the Darwinian version of...

    I didn't ask you for that. I asked you how understanding antibiotic resistance depends on accepting the Darwinian theory that all life evolved from a common ancestor via a process of mutations and natural selection.

    You’re still missing the point - I’m talking about practical scientific uses, not mere theorizing, which is just useless talk. All the points you raise here are not practical scientific uses or have led to any scientific use … they are just theories (talk) about the ancient past. Really? How...

    Environmental oxygen levels have increased greatly since the Cambrian era, so if increased oxygen levels triggered the evolution of scores of animal phyla during Cambrian explosion, how come no new animal phyla have evolved since the Cambrian?

    That doesn't answer my question. You claimed Bechly has “religious objections to the fossil record, genetics and evolutionary development”. What are these alleged "religious objections"? Back up your claim with some facts. As I told you, Bechy s an evolutionist - he is fully aware that...

    Really? Pray tell, what are his “religious objections to the fossil record, genetics and evolutionary development”? I’ve been reading his articles and have yet to come across any “religious objections” at all, so I’m wondering where you got this idea. What are you talking about? Gunter Bechly...

    There is no empirical evidence that suggests an elevated oxygen level will produce the evolution of new body plans and novel organs, as seen during the Cambrian explosion, for example. However, there is ample empirical evidence that suggests Darwinists have very vivid imaginations and often...

    I’ve told you this before … I’m not a Young Earth Creationist - far from it.

    Get real. Millions of fossils have been discovered and it would take a life-time to study them all, not to mention needing to travel the world to examine the whole collection - assuming you will be granted access to them (which is unlikely). You have zero first-hand knowledge of the fossil...
