Yes, I know --- I'm not talking about the ones who only understand GOD DID IT --- or the ones who can't get past Genesis 1.Nope, it's not the easiest to understand.
It may be for YOU, but not for everyone.

I'm talking about those who really want to learn.
Not hardly.Ya may want to rephrase that as you've just flamed everyone that prefers & likes other versions, including everyone that using non English versions.
You are hard core. I'll give you that.Either that --- or --- as God put it:And they aren't there because John wrote down the Revelation 'with God'???
What on earth does that mean?That's easy --- God took care of all of that.
Do you realize that of all the translations in existence, the King James is the easiest to understand?
It's not a cop out, it's just the way things work. New traits can only be introduced when new individuals are born. Because of this, the rate of evolution for a given species depends entirely on the age of sexual maturity for that species. In terms of human evolution, a single researcher can only realistically observe a few generations. This is why fruit flies are used so often in lab experiments, because they reproduce so quickly.Are you asking me to prove a negative? I can't. Other than the fact that we don't witness it because it takes too long to happen which is a cop out.
There are lots of them in museums all over the world. People write about them all the time in scientific journals. The information is out there. All you have to do is look for it. If you have questions about it, there are a bunch of knowledgeable people on this and many other message boards.If it were the case we would have enough evidence to put everything together and watch it like a cartoon. Frame by frame. The earth would be riddled with failure after failure of every single species on the planet till it was right. We would see birds with solid bones and feathers. we might see land animals with hollow bones. We would find so many different creatures probably everything you can imagine as nature tried to sort out exactly what the best method for survival is.
What do we see, a shoulder bone here, a few teeth there, a horse hoof or two.
Tell me where are the fossils?
You're not wrong at all. It never stops being a worm. It just becomes a worm with eyes. Then a worm with eyes and fins. Then a worm with eyes, fins and teeth. Then a worm with...I got it before. I just don't believe it.
exactly where in my posts did I say one species had another species?
But at some point it stops being a worm? Or am I wrong there too?

Because the moment a species has adapted to a different environment it basically has evolved to be better suited to that environment. For example:See thats why I hate that term. Adaptation explains it much better. A species can adapt to its environment but cannot evolve or morph or change into another species.
Why is it, that because I believe a species can adapt to its environment, I automatically have to believe that it can evolve to a new species? I see a distinct difference between the two.
Hardly: it's a fact. And the evidence of past events more than makes up for it.Are you asking me to prove a negative? I can't. Other than the fact that we don't witness it because it takes too long to happen which is a cop out.
Fossilisation is an incredibly rare process. Of the trillions of trillions of organisms that have ever lived, only a scant few die in just the right conditions needed for fossilisation to occur, and only a small fraction have anything that can fossilise.If it were the case we would have enough evidence to put everything together and watch it like a cartoon.

We do: protoarchaeopteryx.We would see birds with solid bones and feathers.
Archaeopteryx.we might see land animals with hollow bones.
And we do. Honestly, have you ever seen how many fossils are out there?We would find so many different creatures probably everything you can imagine as nature tried to sort out exactly what the best method for survival is.

Oh, look, there they are!
My only objection is the use of the term 'missing link'. It's very misleading and causes confusion among those not familiar with paleontology. A better term would be, "another piece of the puzzle".
Sure dont like the term "missing link" either.
Human beings are homo sapiens bro.
why do you always try to derail the thread with nonsense?
You're example above is very easy to understand, but you're missing millions of changes in between.
It is not well documented in the fossil record.
I do truly understand the concept, I just don't buy it.
Whoops, done. Though faith_guardian will have to update his post...WC, any chance you can resize that skull series photo so I don't have to use the horizontal scroll?
What's wrong with that? It's better than 'evolutionist'I also e-mailed KDFW ch. 4 when the news reader referred to people who "believed in evolution."
Evolution can take a hike.
It makes a mockery of God and His perfect Creation.
God exists but evolution does not make a mockery of anything, and there's nothing wrong with it. It is a fact that it happens. Can you observe someone else drinking a can of Pepsi? Then you can observe evolution. Not that easy, but it's observable. It has been proven with a history of things, including fossils like the ones posted above. They do not disprove God, at all. No book (such as the Bible, or Koran) has stated how God created everything. They pretty much state "In the beginning, he created everything" but do not go into detail how.
Evolution is evidence for God. Truth be told, the world was made by God with certain events and processes that unfolded overtime. Evolution is just one of those processes and there's no reason to deny the truth. We know it is, because we know it happens. The world has been here billions of years. These events have taken long, long amounts of time to unfold to where we are, and they still are taking place.
I think you're getting the two mixed up. Evolution describes how things evolve over time. It does **NOT** explain where these things came FROM.
Ignorance can take a hike.Evolution can take a hike.
It makes a mockery of God and His perfect Creation.
Is the creation still in progress?I think you're getting the two mixed up. Evolution describes how things evolve over time. It does **NOT** explain where these things came FROM.
Pretty good, tho, "truth be told" that is your opinion / perception only, that there is a god or that anything was made by such.
Is the creation still in progress?
