Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
The theory that man evolved from an amoeba is, of course, bunk.
Good thing nobody is arguing that man evolved from amoebas. We evolved from a primate ancestor.

I get the feeling that what our friend is arguing is the old skool theory of evolution, that all life evolved from amoebas.. Otherwise, his argument, or reasonable facsimile thereof, makes absolutely no sense. heh.

Nothing is more despicable than a respect based on fear.

The theory that man evolved from an amoeba is, of course, bunk. I will not dispute that.
However, there is no reason to disbelieve in speciation. All species can speciate within certain parameters as set out within their genetic code.
Perhaps you can explain something to me. It's something I've never really got an answer to from a creationist.
If you accept that two groups of organisms can become reproductively isolated, then the mutations in one gene pool will not be transferred to the other. So, the genetic difference between the two groups will increase.
What mechanism do you propose to prevent this difference from becoming arbitrarily large?
No its not. as heliocentricism is just a christian lie to fool atheists into going to christianity because they accept science, when we all know that anything christians except is untrue.
(yes i did put geo in there on purpose just for fun. )
Yep, and the earth is really flat, the space shuttle program is just an elaborate lie to make people resect atheist scientists so that they can peddle their obvious false germ theory, the geocentric model, General relativity and evolution.
A Parable:
"I'M A BILLIONAIRE" he states loudly (obviously annoyed that you would question him).
Visit any forum and it doesnt take long to see atheists patting themselves on their backs for their superior rationality but resorting to argument ad hominem and changing the subject rather than confront the evidence.
You should not confuse evolution with science.
The question of origins is a question of History (whatever happened only happened once) not science.
Please explain how the scientific method applys. i.e. observe, predict, experiment, repeat -- how do we repeat ANCIENT (pre human) history? Here's a helpful suggestion repeat the transition from reptile to bird in a lab (that would be fascinating!) After you have repeated this transition, explain why your lab experiment proves that this is EXACTLY how it happened historically.
Let me guess, this is a post and run.
Only in your wildest fantasies.
Of course, im sure you have evidence to prove this right (more than a bunch of quotes like your site) so that you aren't getting close to that false witness thing, right?
Here's a tip: Cite a specific quote and then demonstrate why it is not accurate.
