    The Earth is not 6,000 years old.

    I'll be posting lines of evidence against a young earth. The first I don't think anyone has noticed before, the long lived Greenland Shark. It reaches maturity at a staggering 150 years of age and has a gestation period of at least 8 years. If more than 38 generations existed, the Earth could...

    Given no new selection pressures, the peak adaptation of a species need not provoke change

    Hi there, So it seems evident that there is a massive unknown, here: what if there are no "new" selection pressures? What if the driving force behind change, is answered? Would you say 'no, Evolution needs to invent selection pressures, to provoke itself with'? What would be the sense of that...

    So I have started questioning selection pressure, like can a s.p. pull one species into another?

    Hi, Yes, I have started questioning "selection pressure". I have two thoughts: one, that selection pressure is an over-arching force, that homogenizes everything that comes under its sway - this is a generalized selection pressure (like everything alive, needs to drink, sort of thing) - and the...

    Treating scientists as 'apostles of evolution': why?

    (As an aside: I haven't seen anyone, Creationist or otherwise, refer to any scientists as an 'apostle of evolution'. I was just stuck for a title) This is something that I see a lot of times on so many threads where the theory of evolution is brought up or talked about, or even mentioned: there...

    So if first a fish, then a giraffe, then an elephant - my "Evolution" has a greater span?

    Hi there, So I am trying to work out, what the mechanism behind "Evolution" is and from what I am told, what you were to begin with, makes a difference, that is, the succession of development from one creature to the next "culminates" in something. Following this logic, the more steps that you...

    What if I share, as a rule? It really makes no difference, what I could share with you?

    Hi there, So I am not doing more than corner "a premise" and seeing if that acts as a success, in relation to your assessment of what it means. The premise is that "sharing is a constructive addition to Evolution" (subtext: the more Evolution shares, the better it is) and I am cornering it, by...

    So I've worked out, that Creation is just as true as Evolution (really?)

    Hi there, So yes, you are privileged to hear my take on Evolution before I brave the waters of the Science forum - its actually very simple: Evolution promises change, through successive adaptations; Creation promises change, through variations of a kind. What does this mean? It means that...

    Describe your understanding of evolution.

    Since there's a lot of threads lately from pitabread about trying to get creationists to explain their positions (without a lot of success sadly) with regards to evolution, I thought I'd try something which I feel does need to be touched on slightly. To those who accept theory of evolution and...

    Evolution that needs to change, is called "Evolution": Evolution that doesn't need to change, is...?

    Hi there, So just a simple observation: how something begins, is not how it ends. We say "the beginning" is "the beginning" and things follow it; we say "the end" is "the end" and things lead up to it - well, when you call something "the Evolution" you say "it will change" so theoretically, you...

    A change has to be actionable, targeted and reachievable, if it is to secure "Evolution"...but?

    Hi there, So yes I am showing extreme caution at this point, because I am literally translating "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Me" into "change has to be actionable, targeted and reachievable; the exercise of Evolution can only be secured in the manner...

    If "Evolution" is true, making Evolution interesting will be 'selected for'?

    Hi there, So I actually had the idea for making Evolution "interesting", earlier - but I wanted to talk about an extension of it. Before we get into it thought, let's just be clear what I mean by "making Evolution interesting"! I think it means: taking a concept that has less said about it, and...

    Jesus said "he who is faithful in what is least, is faithful in much" - Evolution? Or in need of it?

    Hi there, So I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but the words of Jesus on incremental changes, is actually pretty clear: if you have enough of the initial requirement, the fuller difference can be expected. Jesus describes it, in terms of faith, but you could easily translate it...

    So you have an adaptation, and the selection pressure stops part way - what happens then?

    Hi there, This is probably the simplest thought experiment seen yet: if you have an adaptation for which the selection pressure stops, what happens to the "Evolution"? It is a basic question of what "Evolution" is - as a law. It's basically a legacy, right? (Evolution is a legacy of past...

    If I consistently show you, that I am adapting, but the adaptations are not from a monkey, then...?

    Hi there, So yes, I feel like any place would be as good as any other to proclaim, that I have made my "peace" with 'Evolution'. I understand that without Evolution, my definition as a human, would not be as "pronounced" and I understand that what I think is "pronounced" may not last to the...

    Why did Jesus say "in the beginning, God created them male and female"? Not Masc or Fem evolutions?

    Hi there, So the words of Jesus are pretty explicit: "in the beginning, God created them male and female". He expressly did not say "in the beginning, God created masculine and feminine Evolutions"? But, if you are going to believe Evolution, is that a position you have to take? That...

    EVOLUTION-X (a helpful mnemonic?)

    Dear friends, I wanted to share with you a video which has helped me to remember a common sense response to Darwinian Evolution, in the form of a mnemonic: EVOLUTION-X It has certainly been very useful for me, especially when suddenly thrown into a discussion of Creationism v Evolution and I...

    Creationism Losing Ground in Education

    Creationism Losing Ground in Education In 2019 the National Centre for Science Education (NCSE) commissioned a survey of US public high school biology teachers. The survey duplicated a similar survey conducted in 2007 and was designed to assess shifts in the teaching of evolution, in US...
