For the purposes of this thread, I know nothing of either creationism (in any form) or the scientific explanation for why things are as they are (which includes but is not limited to evolution).
Convince me that what you believe is correct, be it evolution, creationism, whatever. I will believe anything, provided that you back up your statements with at least two pieces of independent evidence that are valid (so no hearsay, etc. It's gotta be falsifiable, in other words, there must be some hypothetical way to show that it is wrong). I also reserve the right to dismiss a statement that fits the above criteria in order to accept another statement that has a greater amount of supporting evidence.
Go for it.
Cosmic Evolution had a beginning when pre-existing pure Enery converted into Matter with a Big Bang that hurled elemental particles out in an ever growing expansion of the newly appeared Space required to contain such matter.
Gen. 1:1 In the beginning, (the Formative/Cosmology Era), God, (the Uncaused First Cause, or the Dark Energy which pre-existed the material Universe, perhaps), created... (all that which has followed the Big Bang from the singularity of Planck Time which consisted of Seven Stages:
1) The Inflation Era
2) The Quark Era
3) Hadron Era
4) Lepton Era
5) Nucleosynthesis Era
6) Opaque Era
7) Matter Era,...
...in an enormous Einsteinian energy transformation, E = mC^2), the (matter composing the) heaven (beyond the Solar System) and the (accretion disk which congealed into the planet) earth.
I don't see how anything other than evolution (descent with modification) can explain phylogenetic trees.
Can you give a specific example, and explain how evolution explains such a tree?
I'm not knowledgeable enough to contest that, but I'll make a good point:DNA-analysis shows that all known organisms are related, and in what fashion. The phylogenetic tree of life is a family tree. Evolution is the only logical explanation for that.http://tolweb.org/tree/
I'm not knowledgeable enough to contest that, but I'll make a good point:
What does it matter? evolutionists have been saying all known organisms are related, long before DNA was ever discovered.
I predict that cosmic evolution will assume all matter and energy are related to the Big Bang.Yes, because the theory of evolution predicted that, even before the DNA-helix was discovered by Watson and Crick.
QV please:AV, if you aren't going to add anything of value, please go and play somewhere else. If you are going to post, play by the rules I laid down in the OP, okay?
I want to be a 747 that was magically assembled from the parts in a junkyard being randomly blown about by a tornado.
After 3 weeks, which way are you convinced, based on the criteria you asked for?I guess you can't. Doesn't surprise me.

Who me? complain? are you kidding?Well, since Phred was the only one who even came CLOSE to doing what I asked, I'd have to side with evolution.
I hope you're not going to complain. You had a chance to provide evidence that the Biblical account was correct, and you didn't...
