    Eight objections to evolution

    Your "scientific case against evolution?" That's Henry Morris, who late into the `1990s, was blathering about the supposed intellectual and spiritual inferiority of black people: “Yet the prophecy again has its obverse side. Somehow, they have only gone so far and no further. The Japhethites...

    Eight objections to evolution

    It's my error. You're right. It is because they are reproductively isolated they are separate species. An analogous case is the evolution of polar bears from grizzly bears. Like most recently-evolved species, they are also potentially capable of interbreeding, and have done it in zoos...

    Eight objections to evolution

    No. Science is a method, like plumbing. Neither plumbing nor science can consider the supernatural. But plumbers and scientists can. If this puzzles you, we've located one of the problems. Nope. This is a common YE creationist superstition. But it's false.

    Eight objections to evolution

    The key step in the evolution of Eukaryotes was endosymbiosis, the integration of other living things into a cell, to the point that the symbiosis became obligate. For example, chloroplasts and mitochondria are essential organelles in the organisms that have them. Each of these are...

    Eight objections to evolution

    He said that he thought it was probable, which is consistent with his stated belief that it could have been more than one. There's a difference between saying something is probable and saying it happened. You know this. Turns out, subsequent evidence shows that his hunch was right. But...

    Eight objections to evolution

    They seem to have disposed of his claims rather easily. As you know, evolution is not about how life began, and Tour does not know this. I'm thinking that you're frustrated and angry that this discussion isn't going the way you hoped. It might feel better in the moment to lash out, but then...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Well, let's take a look... There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Monkeys are far to evolved in their own way to have been the ancestors of humans. Again, your assumptions are leading you down the wrong path.

    Eight objections to evolution

    Obvious joking aside, I never say anything I don't believe to be true. But if you can show where I lied about something, I'd be pleased to look at it with you. What do you have? I'm thinking that you're frustrated and angry that this discussion isn't going the way you hoped. It might...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Evolution is just a" change in allele frequencies in a population over time." Until you get this, you'll keep running into walls.

    Eight objections to evolution

    Most scientists are theists of some kind, mostly Christians or Jews. Looking at it, I don't see anything of substance. I just showed you that even Darwin assumed a Creator. Your guys just haven't bothered to check their assumptions. These YECs happen to be knowledgeable scientists, who...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Evolutionary theory would be in big trouble if that happened commonly. The one exception I know of is HeLa cells which evolved from cancer cells in one patient, to become a single-celled parasite on laboratory tissue cultures. But that's not Darwin's theory or even modern evolutionary...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Moot point, since even many YE creationists admit the fact of speciation. As creationists, we must frequently remind detractors that we do not deny that species vary, change, and even appear over time...Before the time of Charles Darwin, a false idea had crept into the church—the belief in...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Declare victory and withdraw. “the United States could well declare unilaterally ... that we have ‘won’ in the sense that our armed forces are in control of most of the field and no potential enemy is in a position to establish its authority over South Vietnam.” Sen. George Aiken on the...

    Eight objections to evolution

    No, that's not what it says. Maybe you should go back and take another look. Not if you keep recycling failed arguments against God's creation. It's really simple: "... a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Perhaps you don't know what "irreducible complexity" is. What do you think it is? That connection exists in your skin. It is, as you learned, already photosensitive. Eyes just evolved from there. Yours, for example, are. If, on a hot day, you walk out from shade to direct sunlight...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Actually, evolutionary theory assumes that life began, and describes how it changes over time. And it doesn't matter how life began. If it was naturally, as God says, or if it was poofed, evolution would still work the way we see it happen. Let's ask YE creationists about that... As...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Well, that's a testable assumption. Which of the four points of Darwin's theory have not been tested and verified? Be specific. That would be rather weird, seeing as Darwin suggested that God created the first living things. "People are usually down on things they aren't up on."...
