Evolution is a Lie

[AV1611VET]

Unevidenced unfalsifiable claims don't apply when dealing with the real world.

Is that why scientists made up a bogus rabbits-in-the-precambrian explanation that fooled the inquisitors into thinking evolution was falsifiable?

My questioning response to AV1611:
Giving an estimate, how many times has the earth revolved/rotated around our sun?

Yes i would like AV to answer this.

 

[AV1611VET]

Did they evolve into having wings?

I doubt it -- does it matter to the point I'm making?

 

[AV1611VET]

Giving an estimate, how many times has the earth revolved/rotated around our sun?

And my answer is still the same as it was five years ago: circa 6100 times.

I get a sense that there are many people who like to have him around.

He's kind of like that fly in the corner of the room. Not really that annoying, just kind of a nuisance when he buzzes too close.

He knows considerable more about the claims of ToE than the average joe who comes in with the same old arguments.

He knows very little about the theory of evolution because it conflicts with his strict biblical viewpoint. In his famous words 'evolution can take a hike.' He loves to take things with salt however.

Look at this thread. It was started by a two post OP, yet the discussion has lasted for 40 plus pages.

Even a Poe thread always degenerates into the exact same evolution vs evolution strawmen debate.

 

[AV1611VET]

Okay, I can't argue with that. So, if angels were created, what would they have to do with the discussion of science, particularly earthly creatures reproducing and/or evolving?

And yet again:

When God is doing the work, evolution is not -- and never was -- a requirement for life.

Adam did not arrive via evolution; he arrived via creatio ex materia.

 

[rjc34]

Adam did not arrive via evolution; he arrived via creatio ex materia.

And you're free to believe that; but I arrived via bestia duobus Dorsa.

 

[AV1611VET]

And you're free to believe that;

Yup -- I sure am --

Is that why scientists made up a bogus rabbits-in-the-precambrian explanation that fooled the inquisitors into thinking evolution was falsifiable?

Which scientists?

 

[AV1611VET]

Which scientists?

Does it matter?

 

[MoonLancer]

And my answer is still the same as it was five years ago: circa 6100 times.

Thus you are a YEC.

 

[MoonLancer]

Does it matter?

Yes. because If you don't know who said it why are you making a claim that scientists said it?

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes. because If you don't know who said it why are you making a claim that scientists said it?

J.B.S. Haldane

At one time, "Precambrian rabbits" or "fossil rabbits" or "fossil rabbits in the Precambrian" rock samples became popular imagery in debates about the validity of the theory of evolution and the scientific field of evolutionary biology. The images are reported to have been among responses given by the biologist, J.B.S. Haldane, when he was asked what evidence could destroy his confidence in the theory and the field of study. Many of his statements about his scientific research were popularized in his lifetime.


Some accounts use this response to rebut claims that the theory of evolution is not falsifiable by any empirical evidence. This followed an assertion by philosopher, Karl Popper, who had proposed that falsifiability is an essential feature of a scientific theory. Popper also expressed doubts about the scientific status of evolutionary theory, although he later concluded that the field of study was genuinely scientific.

Just how was it "bogus"?

That's you guys!

This followed an assertion by philosopher, Karl Popper, who had proposed that falsifiability is an essential feature of a scientific theory.

Sadly that's not a feature of any of your, or any other creationist's claims.

Popper also expressed doubts about the scientific status of evolutionary theory, although he later concluded that the field of study was genuinely scientific.

You should really read some of Popper's work, he wrote some great things!

If I recall correctly he thinks it's bogus because the ideas about how life has evolved would have to be reformulated to include the new evidence, rather than evolution being thrown out the window wholesale.

Like this:

Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins said that the discovery of fossil mammals in Precambrian rocks would "completely blow evolution out of the water."

Have rabbits been found in this layer of rock? no? moving.

 

[AV1611VET]

Does it matter anymore as far as evolution as a whole is concerned?

 

[Split Rock]

If many fossils were found were they shouldn't be, then yes it does. If it is ONE fossil, then no it does not. Haven't we gone over this already? When does it become a falsehood, instead of a misunderstanding on your part?
