Evolution is a belief. Religion is a belief.
Between the two religion is the most useful for the average person, as well as the most needed worldwide.
What your chart lacks is real world proof, it's an a priori assumption and a random connection of mythical evolutionary nodes. We are not talking about evolution, this is an a priori assumption of exclusively naturalistic causes.Phylogenetic tree:
It's the thing that creationists want to pretend is fiction, yet it's the very thing that has real-world application.
There is a major gap between the reality of modern evolutionary biology and what creationists choose to believe about modern evolutionary biology.
Yea get yourself a time machine and then use your scientific acumen to identify the molecular mechanisms capable of this mythical transition assumed at every turn.First, invent a time machine. Then travel about 50 million years into the past.
Then find a pet store.
No, it is a testable model.What your chart lacks is real world proof, it's an a priori assumption and a random connection of mythical evolutionary nodes. We are not talking about evolution, this is an a priori assumption of exclusively naturalistic causes.

1. Is just a theory.
2. Is nothing more than a game of connect-the-dots.
3. Is anathema to the Bible.
4. Cannot be observed.
5. Is mistaken as a result of microevolution.
6. Was forged by a runaway, who later made a deathbed confession.
7. Is a lie of the Devil.
8. Is 1 of 7 types of cosmic evolution.
9. Is defended by some who are very aggressive against Christianity.
No it's not, it's just a chart. You need a cause or it doesn't count, evolution is an effect.Uh-huh.
Well that "random connection of mythical evolutionary nodes" is an applied science, whether you like it or not.
Than, that says more about these people than about the theory.The reason most people (who) don't believe in evolution is that they don't think we can get here from there through 'natural' processes. It's just too......fantastic.
You need a cause and an effect, it's as simple as that.Than, that says more about these people than about the theory.
I have to admit that evolution theory, while not convincing, is pretty.......slick.
No it's not, it's just a chart. You need a cause or it doesn't count, evolution is an effect.
Huh? This line of attack on evolution is novel. Of course there are many predicate causes that lead to evolution. Namely environmental/ecological stressors.
The fact that you are here breathing oxygen is a direct adaptation of life to the rise of photosynthetic organisms who started pumping out O2 into the atmosphere and killing off much of the life that previously around ("The Oxygen Holocaust"). But it opened up a niche for life that could survive in an oxygen rich atmosphere and ultimately to creatures who respired oxygen rather than just produced it as a polluting compound.
A chart*sigh*
What is a phylogenetic tree, mark?
Huh. Funny you should say that. When I was getting my BS, MS and PhD in geology I had to look at a lot of fossils and see that life changed over time (even had a paleontology class!) And there was a lot of time to work with. When I took my biochem and biology classes it all sort of fit together quite nicely.
But you don't find it convincing. Well, well, well. Gosh. I wonder why you and I came to different conclusions?
Any chance you could fill me in on your academic experience that resulted in you not being convinced?
Why the qualifier?
So you aren't going to answer the question?
OK. Got it.
Do you have any educational reason for you position?
Not a complete mystery - How Does A Caterpillar Turn Into a Butterfly?Evolution cannot be observed. Fortunately metamorphosis can be, and it's still a complete mystery.
