Talking to my friend, we are discussing Creation and Evolution.
Her statement. "We are of 1 kind, I do not and cannot believe we come from monkeys and I don't need proof because Evolution is only a Theory anyway"
My head exploded, I often hear the 3 terrible terms "Kind" "Monkeys" and "Just a theory" , but strung altogether in one sentence was mind blo..numbing.
So this brings me to a couple of questions... sort of.
Why will the Creationist community refuse to use the word "Species" instead of "Kind" ?
To me this sounds extremely childish, it's like you taking your car to a mechanic because the wheel is vibrating and the mechanic says "Yeah the roundies need to be fixed"
Next, monkeys, why is the creation community so hung up on the idea we "Come from monkeys"?
Those who profess science says this are either ignorant of the subject, or in breach of the 9th commandment.
Last, if you seriously think "It's just a theory" .... please please please go an look up the definition of "Scientific theory" .
Again, those who state this are either ignorant of the subject or are in breach of the 9th commandment.
So which is it? Ignorant? Or 9th Commandment Breach?
Message ends.
That brings me to a question. When will the evolutionists stop dividing one species into many? The definition of species is the largest group of animals capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. Yet Lions and Tigers are classified as separate species, even though they interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
That is why we refuse to use species instead of kind, because you can not even be consistent in what you define as species, simply because every scientists wants to get his name in the books for discovering a new species. So the slightest variation and, lookie see, a new species.
Your own evolutionists admit to this problem.
TEDxVancouver - Jack Horner - The Shape-Shifting Skulls of Dinosaurs - YouTube
You've misclassified babies and adults as separate species, all in the fervor to get ones names written in the books.
You have such a serious species problem, the word can no longer be used to describe anything realistically.
Species problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When scientists get over the name game and decide to get species named correctly, then perhaps we might use that word instead of kind. But as it currently stands species is so confused it no longer holds any meaning whatsoever.
And you need to look up the definition of theory. It is not scientific fact. A theory can never be proven to be correct, just falsified.
They are testable and make falsifiable predictions, and so far every prediction of the theory of evolution has been falsified. This is why you have over 12 different versions of how it occurs, why modern DNA testing has falsified the upward branching tree and instead shown merely a multitude of "trees" with sideways branching. Variation within kinds, not new species.
