Want to learn about evolution? Take a free course

[pitabread]

Take a moment if you will and look up, Cambrian Explosion.
It is something inexplicable to this day in the field of Evolutionary theory.

Not really. There are a number of testable hypotheses for its occurrence (most likely it wasn't the result of a singular factor). And given the continual discovery of pre-Cambrian fossils, there is some question as to how much of an 'explosion' it really was in the first place.

It doesn't appear you do. Or you wouldn't ask what vexed Darwin about it to the day he died. The CE explains itself. Evolution is hogwash. The CE just makes it more noticeable.

A quote from Darwin would help you make that point. In any case, it is moot because even if the Cambrian Explosion vexed Darwin, it doesn't vex evolutionary biologists any more.

If you want to dumb Adam down and make him look like some innocent child who didn't know anything

How else would characterize someone without childhood learning experiences, living in perfect environment without any hardship, accompanied by one other human, who believed Talking snake over Allmighty God who had created him and was his companion and mentor.

Companion and mentor who cast him out of the paradise, made him mortal with all the hardships that includes for acting according to his nature and whatever learning he managed to acquire before making wrong dietary choice.

It seems bit far fetched to take literally.

The son of God?

Luke 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

You are aware paleontology has moved on a bit since Darwin's day? Are you going to tell us what is so vexing about the Cambrian explosion or not? All I'm reading in your posts are vague assertions.

Hmm well the scientific method is observation and experimentation so by that definition alone evolution is not science its a religion.

No, just no.

Finding and unearthing a fossil is an observation. Analyzing the morphology of the fossil and comparing it to the morphology of extinct and extant species is testing. Others doing the same analysis and getting the same results is repetition.

Sequencing a genome is an observation. Analyzing that genome and comparing it with other genomes is testing. Others doing the same analysis and getting the same results is repetition.

Evolution is science. Period.

Millions and millions of years ago in the ocean= long ago and far away which is the beginning of a fairy tale

Actually that would be the scientific method in action. Depending on what this supposedly is alluding to, there are a variety of ways of determining common ancestry and relatedness even though deep time.

Hmmm i wonder why the piltdown man or nebraska man hoaxes aren't widely talked about.

Probably because Nebraska "man" wasn't a hoax and because Piltdown was outed in 1954 so it's yesterdays news. On the other hand, we have Creationists in 2018 spreading falsehoods like claiming Nebraska "man" was a hoax.

What a fascinating claim. An era 500,000,000 years ago, lasting 30-50,000,000 years in which there were no:
- sharks
- bony fish
- amphibians
- reptiles
- birds
- mammals
- terrestrial insects
- terrestrial plants
- terrestrial fungi
all of which evolved after the Cambrian is somehow a problem for evolution?

It's one of the most inane (to put it politely) arguments against evilution I can think of.

Remember the Hitler Diaries in the 80's?

They were fake!

I can only conclude that the Third Reich did not exist!

Nebraska Man, Ape of the Western World, First Higher Primate of North America, was considered real.

Until it was plutoed after the accolades and lies were disseminated to the public.

Does the Fourth? it consists of scientists, you know.

 

[Jcreigns]

Well if its reported as truth and isnt than its a hoax. Im curious but how do you determine what someone looks like with a single tooth ypu can't. Well atleast that isnt how forensic science works.

 

[Jcreigns]

So since we know so much about fossils can anyone tell me how many children trex had. Oh and im not asking for a guess.

 

[Jcreigns]

Also i would like a clear definitive example of a complete transitional fossil

That makes Pluto a 76-year hoax.

Are you seriously suggesting that "trex" is an individual?

In order to be a hoax it has to be reported as truth by someone who knows it isn't.

Why?

Thalidomide?

{On 31 August 2012, Grünenthal chief executive Harald F. Stock who served as the Chief Executive Officer of Grünenthal GmbH from January 2009 to May 28, 2013 and was also a Member of Executive Board until May 28, 2013, apologized for the first time for producing the drug and remaining silent about the birth defects. At a ceremony, Stock unveiled a statue of a disabled child to symbolize those harmed by thalidomide and apologized for not trying to reach out to victims for over 50 years. At the time of the apology, there were 5,000 to 6,000 sufferers still alive. Victim advocates called the apology "insulting" and "too little, too late", and criticized the company for not compensating victims. They also criticized the company for their claim that no one could have known the harm the drug caused, arguing that there were plenty of red flags at the time.}

Are you really pretending that you don’t know what ‘hoax’ means?

Tut tut.
