Hitler would have, if he had lived long enough to see his Aryan race die of inbreeding depression.

We’re all descendants of inbreeding hence Adam & Eve and more closely Noah and his family.

Hard to say what to call it, there's so much
nonsense packed into it.

" kind" is a meaningless term, just for one.

What you might mean by one kind changing to another
or how it would be demonstrated to your satisfaction, who
including you, knows.

That nowhere remotely is disproof of evolution
Here is a very interesting Wiki definition for you. :sorry:

As nouns the difference between kind and species
is that kind is a type, race or category; a group of entities that have common characteristics such that they may be grouped together while species is a type or kind of thing.
:scratch:
What is the difference between kind and species?

Ok, clearly YOU wrote this definition.

Science will never agree to the words that the Bible uses, but THIS??

This is absolutely hilarious.

Your attempts at killer gotcha questions are kind of childish.

Likewise the trick of " answering" a question with a question.

You could just say if you really do think
that you know more science than any
scientist on earth.
A claim to know to know that ToE is false
is making said claim.
So you could just say.
Ive no trouble being
forthright. Try it.

I asked a simple question without all the childish accusations. The answer to that question, that you declined to answer, gives evidence supporting my position. I also noticed you declined to answer my question, do all scientists support the theory of evolution? I think we both know that they don’t.

Neither do I.

Think about it.

If evolution is true, then we are mutant copy-errors, made in the image and likeness of God; and a great ape died on the Cross to effect our salvation.
Yep.

Pretty blasphemous.

Without randomness, evolution is borrowing a characteristic of innate intelligence from Creationism. That's not allowed. And whatever scholarly figure convinced you, and many others, that it was pure evolution dynamics was a liar and a fraud. Your religion is based on lies
That's silly. I didn't say there was no component of randomness in evolution, I said that evolution was not random. Is English your second language? If so, I can take more time to explain concepts that you are unfamiliar with.

Now, as to lies, are you actually maintaining that these tens of thousands of scientists, including myself, are lying about evolution. I concede that we all might be mistaken, but we are not lying. It is ridiculous to suggest that tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, of scientists - many of whom are Christians - have conspired to lie. Are you really claiming that?

And, once again, if you are then you are probably breaching forum rules by accusing others of it.
Nobody asked you anything pertaining to it. I was asked a question to which I answered that. Find better material to insult me with
You made an observation that seemed to me irrelevant. I illustrated that by making a similar irrelevant statement. If I had intended to insult you, you would not have been in any doubt.

My intention is to address and refute your arguments. At the moment you are making it very difficult, since all you are offering is snide remarks and empty assertions. I gave you an opportunity to deliver what you had promised existed - proof that evolution was false. You chose not to reply to that. Will you continue to run away from matters of substance and just blow hot air? I hope not, macho discussions like this are rather tiresome - so over to you for some actual facts. Offer your evidence that evolution is false.

No, true, but they wouldn't have lasted long enough to remain in the genepool of their populations.

Shouldn’t we still be seeing examples of attempted evolutionary life forms that failed since apparently this has been going on for millions of years?

So you could just say, I've no trouble being forthright.

Try it.
Sure.

I've no trouble in being forthright that ToE is false, because the Bible says otherwise.

Solomon, for example, who studied apes, concluded ...

Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

Notice he calls evolution an "invention," not a "discovery"?

In addition, in the New Testament, Paul refers to evolution as ...

1 Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

... which does three things:

1. Ministers questions.
2. Does not edify God.
3. Does not operate on true faith.

God slams evolution with this doosey ...

Jeremiah 2:27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

And Paul warns that embracing evolution can lead to leaving the faith and atheism.

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

In an ideal world where the climate and ecosystems mean that fossilization would allow EVERY dead animal to fossilize, we would.
But, even in the fossil record, we do see failed evolution when we see certain animals that just stop appearing in the fossil record past a certain point. The armoured fish, Dunkleosteus, stops appearing past the Devonian period but the shark keeps appearing almost throughout history.

Are you suggesting that all scientists support the theory of evolution?

Of course not.
I had an organic chem prof whose religion disallowed
evolution.
When we talked about it one time, he said straight out that
he had no evidence thats its false, just that he had doubts for
statidtical reasons.

Nobody has ever been able to disprove ToE.
Fact.

Simple reason being that to do so requires facts
contrary to ToE-
And
Nobody has ever uncovered such facts.

Opinions are fine.

But since nobody has said facts they cannot truthfully
say they know.

Now, I may have been unfair to you. Maybe you do not
say you know ToE is false, and have elsewhere clearly stated
that is just your opinion.

It makes as much sense to ask "Have you ever seen a failed attempt at gravity?" Well have you?

So then by that logic you believe that all evolution attempts are successful? That evolution is not the result of random genetic mutation but is actually an organized form of mutation?

I guess that's one way to look at it.

But the gene pool since Adam & Eve has steadily been declining.

The same could be said about intelligent design.
