No more ironic than to be arguing for evolution in a Christian Forum.ironic to be saying that in a post about evidence for evolution.
How so? Evolution is not anti-Christian.No more ironic than to be arguing for evolution in a Christian Forum.
I wasn’t referring to microevolution amongst organisms but macroevolution across species.
You saying I don’t know the difference doesn’t make it so either; and just saying evolution is a fact doesn’t make it so.
When and how did the theory of evolution become a fact?
When has evolution been tested and observed repeatedly?
I know the difference between a fact and a theory. Evolution is not a fact.
When and how did the theory of evolution become a fact?
Evolution has ALWAYS been a FACT; for the entire 3+ billion years that life has been on Earth. That's how the first simple forms of life 3+ billions of years ago ended up resulting in the diversity of life we see on the planet today. The THEORY of Evolution was developed as a formal scientific concept around 160 years ago when we humans finally figured out what evolution is and how it works.You saying I don’t know the difference doesn’t make it so either; and just saying evolution is a fact doesn’t make it so.

It goes against Scripture. Scripture reveals that through Adam came sin and through sin came death. You can't have cycles of death and life until the first man.How so? Evolution is not anti-Christian.
I didn't see any observations over millions of years going on.
One big assumption...'has been observations of evolution'.We just showed you one, every fossil we find has been observations of evolution, we have this new fossil, we have the dinosaur tail found in amber, the dozens of fossils through multiple parts of evolution, funny how all these things fit what was predicted.
No, it goes against your interpretation of scripture. Most Christians throughout the world disagree with you and your interpretation.It goes against Scripture. Scripture reveals that through Adam came sin and through sin came death. You can't have cycles of death and life until the first man.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—
(Rom 5:12)
And if you think it only pertains to mankind...
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
(Rom 8:20-21)
That is only because you do not understand observation. Again, we need to go over the basics of science so that you understand observation.I didn't see any observations over millions of years going on.
We don't need to be. Again, you do not understand observation.One big assumption...'has been observations of evolution'.
No one alive is old enough to observe the so-called 'millions of years' it takes for evolution to take place.
What evidence would you need to convince you that there is a living God?What evidence would you need to convince you that evolution is a fact?
Hard to say. But it is up to the persons making the affirmative assertion to support their claim. Where is your evidence for a "living God"?What evidence would you need to convince you that there is a living God?
And it goes "against" most every other religious text around as well. And completely ignores the mythologies that humans have created over the years. Does that make evolution anti-Thor, Odin and Freya in your opinion?It goes against Scripture.
And you call that article a conclusive statement on Faunal Succession?...Around 1800 and into the early 19th century. I would point in particular to the principle of faunal succession, showing that living things were different at different times. They changed. Over time.
This was a fact that required an explanation. Several were offered, and Darwin's theory of evolution was and (in its modern form) is the best explanation for the fact of evolution.

Whether there is a living God or not is nothing to do with the theory of evolution. The equivalent response to Astrophile's challenge would be, "What evidence would you need to convince you that the Book of Genesis is historical fact?"What evidence would you need to convince you that there is a living God?
Instead of grasping at straws it would be much wiser to admit that you do not understand and try to learn.And you call that article a conclusive statement on Faunal Succession?...
