Evolutionary Teachings Are Absurd, Asinine, and Amusing! (Page 9): I said... "For one, the lack of evidence to support some theories of what evolved from what. When you have a large...

I said...
"For one, the lack of evidence to support some theories of what evolved from what. When you have a large fossil record of one species, a large fossil record of the species from which it is supposed to have evolved, there is a dearth of t***sitional fossils to back it up. It is guesswork being presented as proven fact.
When you have a fairly complete skeleton of a dinosaur there is not much doubt what it's appearance was. Presenting an "artist's conception" of what another looked like when the fossil record is a few bones as a factual representation is a crock. Call it what it is... a guess.
Current scientific thought is that dinosaurs have avian rather than amphibian ancestors, yet for years, despite the lack of evidentiary fossils, the amphibian theory was taught as established fact. Evolution is not in question; but the mechanics of the process involves much theory taught as fact."
You will notice, Petey boy, that I said "Evolution is not in question;"

Your typically brainless response was as follows:

"You are talking about a lack of evidence? So what evidence do you have that we were made with a magic wand and not through evolution? Show it to us and we will shut up!"

Face it; you just aren't very bright. Comprehension of the written (and doubtless spoken also) word just isn't in your sk**l set. I'm sure there is something you are good at; (I mean, besides being annoying), you just need to keep searching.

The Bible says that God created man and woman.

There isn't any actual proof to the contrary to "conclude otherwise"

People who profess to believe in the Creator and preach other than his description of our existence have a clouded view of God.

A lot of Christians don’t believe the story of creation. There is no evidence we and apes evolved from a common ancestor. Its all supposition. My anthropology professor in college admitted as much. Its not even logical that an all powerful God would have to refine his creation with evolution.

There is plenty of evidence...
Start with our DNA...
Why do we share it with the apes?
If man is God's creation (in His image) then why did he use our DNA to create apes?

I would gues that your anthropology professor admitted that a common ancestor has yet to be found in the fossil record...

Why would an all powerful God create an entire universe for a single planet's inhabitants?
And why would He make an expanding universe?

You think he used our DNA to create apes? Why would he need our DNA to create another life? That doesn’t make sense. He made us without the help of other life forms. Where then did the DNA come for all other life? Man doesn’t understand creation and its no coincidence he turns to his own wisdom and rejects the account we’re given.

My anthropology professor was honest and said evolution was a lot of guesswork. A ‘best guess’

Absurd... Of course I don't...
I believe we evolved.... That is Why we share DNA with our cousins (apes)...

Exactly my point...

Quote:

I don't know how this fits into the argument...
We weren't made...

Quote:

I have no idea...
It's one of the great mysteries of our universe..
Evolution doesn't attempt to address the origin of life... (the only people who use that argument are those attempting to discredit evolution... It's a strawman argument..)

Strawman...

So how do you explain the DNA of apes and Humans being so similar?

I believe that makes good sense.

No I presented no straw man. Man doesn't understand creation. Not even close.

We weren't made? You don't believe God made us but instead that we evolved? You don't believe he created Adam and Eve but that they evolved? Why then the story of creation? What does that mean? Where did the first sign of life come from?

Does it need explaining? Some things will always remain a mystery. Watermelon is mostly water and so are clouds. Are they related?

Did he use DNA from other species to create all species and all life forms? Where did the original DNA come from and how did it separate out to form such diverse life forms? Evolution? He needed evolution to create life when he created it in the first place? Why go through all the trouble when he could just create it in the first place? Was he undecided? Didn't have a plan?

I don't try to explain shared DNA between any species and at the end of the day I don't care that much though I do marvel at life's diversity and interdependencies.

Firstly... Many of the stories of the Bible aren't meant to be taken literally... They are metaphors... And very accurate ones at that... Genesis led me to my belief in the Lord..

Secondly.... You continuously conflate evolution and the origin of life... They are not the same...
Why do you persist in doing this?

I am chuckling.. Thanks...
This was a bizarre strawman argument...

Quote:

That is what evolution answers...
Except for the original DNA part.. That is origin of life... Not evolution...

Quote:

He created a perfect universe and then allowed natural law to run its course...

Why would he allow for mutation?

I figure that so far we’ve only begun to see what God has created. Kinda like an ant crawling out of it’s hole for the first time, or a fish jumping out of the water. What we don’t know is vastly bigger than what we do know.

Agreed....

And wouldn't it be a shame if we did know it all?
