Did you know Elvis is alive and living with aliens? I read it on the internets.
You are a great creationist.
lismore said:
let me guess, Elvis evolved into a spaceman?
That makes more sense that some of the stuff you blether about lizards or squirrels learning to fly, and cows becoming whales
notto said:It's an army of strawmen and smilies.
You are a great creationist.
lismore said:Indeed. Strawmen. Thats how I would describe the wierd and wonderful array of apes and pigs remains that you parade as our ancestors.

Nothing is ever proven in science. As an ex-geologist you should know that. I've never seen an evidence of the science of paleontology working as you have described it. If visual similarities were the only ones scientists were confirming, the field would be rather shaky indeed. Fortunately for us all, visually similarities are not the only things taken into account.gitamerah said:Nope. As an ex-geologist, I do know a bit more about evolution. The methods used to confirm the theories of evolution seemed a bit too unreliable in my point of view.
What I mean is, they look at 2 sets of animal bones. They see that some parts look similar, while others need a bit of a stretch and some re-arranging in order for them to look similar.
For example, they see a prehistoric land mammal with four legs and all. Then they see the bones of recently deceased whales and go "oh, hey, the whale's fins have bones that look sorta like fingers... if you shorten this bone, lengthen that other one, move it here and there... they kinda look like that prehistoric mammal we found."
Hence, they conclude that the whale is the evolved form of the said prehistoric mammal, and further on, that the prehistoric mammal decided to move to sea and evolve into a whale.
The flaw in this theory?
One, it is unproven. The so-called similarities take a bit of a stretch in order for them to even "be" similar.
Two, there is no proof that bones can shorten, change positions, and change functions altogether... and have it stay that way in the next thousand or so generations.

lismore said:Half a dozen people on this forum say evolution is a FACT and ridicule anyone who believes otherwise.
How can you have an unproven fact?
Evolution is a fact. A fact is an observation or an extrapolation of a set of observations. I should have more accurately stated that theories are never proven - only disproven. Evolution also has a theory attached to it, which has not yet been disproven.lismore said:Half a dozen people on this forum say evolution is a FACT and ridicule anyone who believes otherwise.
How can you have an unproven fact?
I'm not sure what you mean by "evolution origins theory" and "evolution period". I'm not familiar with the existence of two different sorts of theories about evolution.ArchangelGabriel said:umm i guess we all are refering to the evolution origins theory not just evolution period . well i dont think its true but that doesnt stop it from being a theory.

notto said:Evolution is a fact. It has happened. Life in the past was much different than life today. Do you disagree?

notto said:This is the fact of evolution and is readily observed (unless you know where the 90% of the species that have existed that have gone extinct are hiding out)
