Is there any evidence for evolution?

[lesliedellow]

I'm KJVO.

I'm sure there must be a cure for that. They can do wonders nowadays.

Just out of curiosity, what are you?

I use the KJV most of the time, because I like it, but I certainly am not KJVO.

Okay ... Just wondering.

 

[mark kennedy]

Yes, there is.

That's true, there is overwhelming evidence for evolution, the change of alleles (traits) in populations over time. Darwinism, the a priori assumption of universal common descent by exclusively naturalistic means is another matter entirely. Don't equivocate the two.

Macro evolution requires deep time; something the Bible doesn't account for.

Well according to the bible macro-evolution happens in mere decades/centuries (post-noachian flood diversity arising within human history).

Fortunately chemistry and physics adequately demonstrate that deep time is a reality.

That would be the implication, adaptive traits do not accumulate gradually in piecemeal fashion. It makes perfect sense, a wholly developed trait is what provides a selective advantage.

Fortunately chemistry and physics adequately demonstrate that deep time is a reality.

Perhaps with regards to the age of the earth and the cosmos, all we really know is that happened in the beginning. Creation week is another matter entirely.

Have a nice day

Read Genesis 9:1 and tell me what you think the nature of those blessings were.

 

[mark kennedy]

Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. (Gen. 9:1)

Yup.

(I need to learn how to copy-and-paste from a Bible app.)

You haven't read his book, have you? A priori assumption my posteriori!

Then why is there never any inverse logic, why is it that Darwinians never accept that if things alike are an argument for then differences are an argument against. Like the song, one way street.

The Theory of Evolution via Descent from Modification from a Common Ancestor is the explanatory framework that describes the observed fact of change in species over time.

It was the conclusion that Darwin drew from his observation of nature, along with the observations of others.


It's like you don't even understand the basic concepts involved.

I understand perfectly fine, I look at the same evidence and conclude something different. It's like you don't understand the concept of begging the question of proof. Universal common descent isn't just an explanation, it's a transcendent principle called a naturalistic assumption. I can look at the same evidence and come to a different conclusion. See how that works?

Have a nice day

I'm KJVO.

You must know that there are things written in your Bible that were not written in the earliest copies that have survived, which means the writings were added much later by other people for their own nefarious reasons

That's because you are wearing your religions blinkers and you only see what you want to see, you want to lead the evidence instead of letting the evidence lead you.

 

[AV1611VET]

Then the earliest copies are wrong.

 

[Nicky Blass]

You really have got it bad haven't you?

 

[AV1611VET]

Where the KJB differs from the originals, the originals are wrong.

 

[JoeP222w]

Yes, there is.

Looks like an argument from silence, since you provide no evidence.
