Evolutionary Inevitability

[Micaiah]

No... because whenever you see an exception to this broad rule you design about a creator, you have to reshape this concept. For instance, when we find seeds on islands where there are no mammals with adaptations for grabbing onto the fur of passing mammals, you have to make some pretty funky leaps of faith if you want to hold onto the creation arguement.

And when I say that common "design" is more an arguement for evolution it's only because evolution has definable mechanics which can be observed. It's like two people having different views on why apples fall to earth. Newton says it's gravity, Joe Blow says the magick fairies pulled it down. Newtons method is testable and we have mechanisms for it, Blow's idea doesn't, so who do we go for? There's no way of "falsifying" Joe's idea, yet we still reject it.

A lot of sciece and engineering is based on relationships between physical variables. These relationships can be expressed in formulas or graphs. Tests are carried out, and points plotted. The graph can be constructed by drawing a line of best fit. Providing the line doesn't get too far from the test points, we're okay. When we get too far from those test points, we start to enter the realms of the tooth fairy.

The problem with the general theory of evolution is that it has gone a long way beyond the bounds of observed evidence. It is wrong to equate the scientific evidence for this theory to the evidence for gravity, and say the acceleration of a mass under the influence of gravity.

But supporters of evolution like to dress it up as being scientific and therefore more believable that what the Bible teaches about Creation.Both require faith. Why not just accept what God says, and stop pretending that the scientific evidence forces us to conclude we are the result of evolution.

Actually, if you had read the webpage, you would have found several examples of transitional fossils... Instead of saying why they weren't transitional fossils, you just told me they weren't.

That sort of arguement doesn't win any debates, it merely infuriates the other side and makes you look less intelligent than I'm sure you are.

Onc again we have witnessed the evo way...paste a link to a web page..then throw in the towel.

Add another point to the creationist scoreboard.

However, that has no bearing on the fact that he presented evidence, and you have failed to present a counter-argument.

Sheeze talcos, I'm not going to present a counter argument for a web site.

I do expect the evos to present a particular section of a web site, then provide some sort of explanation as to why that particular section is being used. This way I/we can present a proper answer.
