No one is "making it up as we go along". You aren't making it up that living, breathing animals in stupifying abundance, every phylum, thereof, (in embryonic form in some cases) appeared without precedent and without pre-existing pattern, somewhere close above the base of the Cambrian. Not to...

G-M. Thanks for an intelligent response. Change in allele frequency over time within a population, primarily via hereditary mechanisms, with selection and conservation resulting from situational and environmental factors. I attempt to know something about geology -- probably not much! -- and...

The Cambrian explosion is a huge increase in diversity of animals with hard parts analogous to bones or shells. A slug is equally complex, developed and behaviorally similar to a snail, but a snail is massive more likely to leave a fossil. Now I'll quote someone else. ".... no science was...

What for? A literal interpretation of Genesis is what it is. A literal interpretation of any almost part any part of the bible or any document anywhere whatsoever, religious or otherwise, means that the sun moves relative to Earth. Most documents and people say that the sun rises and sets...

All I would be walking away from is a shallow and theologically inadequate interpretation of the Genesis creation stories ..... . So, you have studied my site -- Creationtheory dot com. Here is the description which comes under the title when googling: www.creationtheory.com CreationTheory.com...

Suckers for punishment. Will you stop making it up as you go along. SUBDUCTION says: Sorry, complex life existed before the Cambrian. And besides a lot of rhetoric and noise you still have not posted any holes. To be fair, yes, Geology, 50, repeat, 50, years ago acknowledged complex (=animal...

How can you tell if it was written by God or not? Check yourself. Which is the more real, the enduring item? To be loved, valued, yes, even died for -- or a hamburger? God doesn't deal in hamburgers. He deals in eternal value, the realm of the 'heart'. That's where it all is. I tell myself...

S-Z, I was addressing Speedwell. I know you can not define Evolution. Anyone who can narrate the pathway of speciation in terms of hard physics/mathematical language -- science -- would take out the Nobel instantum. Speedwell should have an opportunity to try for the Nobel.

What does god say to you? Lots a stuff. Like, Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. Does it ever strike genius such as your own, that if Man made God in his own image, Man would...

Greetings, Speedwell. There is nothing in Genesis, even for a literalist, which justifies the assertion that "kind" represents an impenetrable barrier to evolution. Define Evolution. If you attempt to define it as Common Descent/Darwinism -- no-one has ever been able to define that, whatever...

Kylie wrote: Are you suggesting that God can transform species in a way that looks like evolution because he shares bodily similarity with them? Here, you have been on this site too long. An heroic input from yourself. If I was on it for any protracted period of time, I would go plumb crazy...

I've never heard this, have you got a source? Greetings, Kylie, The Cambrian system is standout remarkable and unique in many ways. As in some ways are the strata immediately underlaying it. I quickly grabbed something off the 'net which although decades old as far as I know has not been...

It's not a single thing. It's lot's of single things adding up over time. Hope everything is good with you. It is impossible in some (Cretaceous) drill core to fit a razor blade between few if any flowering plant fossils (microscopic spores, often prolific in black shales) and avalanche style...

What supposed hole is there in the theory? You keep claiming this but you can never name a hole. People by definition tend to avoid questioning their personal religion/idea of the Deity. Good luck to them. Sincerity coupled with determination to find 'the way, the truth and the life', is...

Because there are theists on both sides of the issue in this forum, the term "creationist" is customarily used to mean biblical creationist, someone who has an issue with science because it contradicts their reading of scripture. A person who tries to turn the creation/evolution debate into a...

I'm not kidding anyone - having qualified in biology and had a career in biology, I'm talking from experience. The majority of biologists accept it as fundamental to the field because it has been demonstrated far beyond reasonable doubt by multiple independent lines of evidence and has been...

Actually it would not flummox Linnaeus' system, since he existed before the knowledge of evolution and was a creationist, even though even he knew that humans were apes. John Wesley, contemporary of Linnaeus, wrote extensively and popularly on Nature and to some extent medicine. He in...

AV1611VET you are a commendable host and may you be blessed and prosper. Now the Bible says it, that settles it. "Heaven and Earth shall pass away: my word shall not pass away." "And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the...

All my question in the original post asks is: why do creationists have a problem with the word theory when it's used to apply to the theory of evolution but not other theories in science? They do? I seldom read young earth stuff. I am a geologist. Since we seem to be talking about word...

Hope I'm not repeating views already posted by others; but surely history shows that people were heavily persecuted for thinking beyond the bounds of religious scriptures. This is still happening in present day times. What are these Scripture you are talking about? Way back in the middle ages...
