What mechanism exists to prevent Macroevolution yet allows microevolution?
Please define the difference between the two.
What discussion? So far all that's happened is you've written a series of posts saying you're going to discuss evolution and quibbling about definitions.Would you like to join a discussion @Speedwell @sfs @Subduction Zone - he is a bit loose but will be back on track soon - @In situ are in?
While as a Christian I believe Creation and Evolution CAN co-exist, I simply don't believe in Evolution in its own right. If someone could present some compelling evidence for evolution, I would convert sides, without shaking my faith in Christ in the least.
Well, here is a bit evidence that I like to offer.While as a Christian I believe Creation and Evolution CAN co-exist, I simply don't believe in Evolution in its own right. If someone could present some compelling evidence for evolution, I would convert sides, without shaking my faith in Christ in the least.
Yes, I would like to focus on our past discussion.
You can start by posting that amazing post your claimed you were preparing for me.
It isn't all sex, reproduction. Asexual reproduction, such as binary fission and bulb offsets, are also successful means and can also mutate and evolve.I would define evolution as changes in a life form due to mutations in their genetic code, leading to the success or failure (or neither) of the mutation, leading to the mutated creature having more success mating, therefore passing on the improved gene or no success, leading to the gene not being passed on. Or to put it simply, yes, changes in a life form over time.
I'd just like to echo - what evidence has been presented that you don't find compelling?While as a Christian I believe Creation and Evolution CAN co-exist, I simply don't believe in Evolution in its own right. If someone could present some compelling evidence for evolution, I would convert sides, without shaking my faith in Christ in the least.
I voted NO, since what you are describing is macroevolution; and given the fact that college kids today deny the distinction of micro/macroevolution -- even to the point of ridiculing those who use it -- I think your poll deserves a NO.Convenient definition of evolution for those unsure:
I voted NO, since what you are describing is macroevolution; and given the fact that college kids today deny the distinction of micro/macroevolution -- even to the point of ridiculing those who use it -- I think your poll deserves a NO.
In addition, since college kids deny evolution on a cosmic scale -- that is, evolution from particulate evolution to biological evolution -- this poll deserves a double NO.
College kids deny their own evolution, yet they expect us literalists to buy into the same philosophy they themselves won't buy into.
When they speak of evolution, they mean two things by default:
1. biological evolution
2. deep time changes
Evolution is a lie.
Evolution says an ape leaves Boston for L.A. and arrives a human being.It's like saying people can walk across a room, but can't walk across a country. It's all just walking, it's just a matter of how far it goes.
Atavism proves evolution is a reality.While as a Christian I believe Creation and Evolution CAN co-exist, I simply don't believe in Evolution in its own right. If someone could present some compelling evidence for evolution, I would convert sides, without shaking my faith in Christ in the least.
Not quite. You forgot that humans are apes.Evolution says an ape leaves Boston for L.A. and arrives a human being.
