Have you ever met an anti-evolution Christian who understood the basics of evolution?

You already know that the planet was oxygenated by bacteria.

Says so right in the huge picture you posted.

right....

Bacteria is found in the Plant Kingdom:
(After all, there are six Kingdoms that can be arbitrarily choosen to classify life Forms.
The Bible obviously is using only the Two Kingdom System,... because it only mentions two kinds of Life, i.,e.; plant life and animal life.

Dude, get it through your head. The science is refined and your picture is in error.

You might as well be showing me a pic of Ptolemy's model as proof that the earth is at the center of the solar system.

 

[Huram Abi]

As a matter of fact, I'd like to put that pic in context. What is the source for it?

 

[Huram Abi]

Nevermind. Thallaphyta was the class for "thallus plants" in the 1800s.

Thallaphyta is a primary taxonomic division of organisms which are plant-like, but not true plants, including all one-celled and cell aggregates which do not clearly show root, stem, and leaf.

Thallophytes are used only in former classifications: comprising what is now considered a heterogeneous assemblage of flowerless and seedless organisms;
These organisms display undifferentiated shoots with no distinction between axis and appendages and differ in cell structure from a true plant cell. The thallus is divided up into compartments by transverse septa, but each division contains more than one nucleus; includes algae, fungi, and lichens.


In scientific terms, we are talking about a taxa that was misclassified and generally useless. It was a "catch-all" and has been replaced with a system that better understands the proper organization.

In biblical terms, we aren't talking about "deshe" which has distinctive shoots and roots.

No, the issue concerns plants and animals, which ones came first?

Depends on your definition of plants, actually. Red algae, which are included in Plantae sensu lato, predate animals by quite a bit.

Of course, they don't often sprout from dry land as the plants of Genesis do...

Well the Plant Kingdom was established before the Animal kingdom because the animals needed the oxygen that wasn't there until 2 billion year after first life appeared.

Cyanobacteria are still not plants.

right....

Bacteria is found in the Plant Kingdom:
(After all, there are six Kingdoms that can be arbitrarily choosen to classify life Forms.

Except when you start classifying life NON-arbitrarily, bacteria end up as far from plants as it gets. I can post pictures, too, and mine have a little more to do with current science...

Look, I can paste phylogenetic trees too:

Look, I can paste phylogenetic trees too:

I know Someone Who is coming, Who is about to do some tree trimming.

I know Someone Who is coming, Who is about to do some tree trimming.

The constant gardener!

 

[CabVet]

I know Someone Who is coming, Who is about to do some tree trimming.

And until he comes, bacteria are not plants

 

[Naraoia]

Off-topic much?

Have you ever met an anti-evolution Christian who understood the basics of evolution?

Judging from most of the answers being "no" by most here, it could be possible that those who were once anti-evolution had delved more into that origin belief and became so fully convinced that evolution is in fact scientific reality, that they then became pro-evolution.

 

[Naraoia]

That is entirely possible. Though from what I heard, the transition from hard-core YEC to committed evolutionist can take a long time. There must be some point during that time when the person already understands evolution but remains reluctant to accept it.
