Some Reasons I Don't Believe in Evolution

Jazer said:

I worked in a Junk Yard once. We had to learn the rims based on the company that made them. So we grouped Ford Rims together. That made it a lot easier to find when someone was looking for a Rim for their Ford. Then we would divide them in that group according to their size. At the time they were mostly 14 & 15 inches in size.

You can find a Goodyear tire on both a Ford and Chevy rim, and still find a Goodyear and a Cooper tire on two Ford rims. You can even transfer a rim from a Ford and put it on a Chevy. Rims do not fall into a nested hierarchy just like other human designs. There is no reason that humans should make their designs so that they fall into a nested hierarchy. There is absolutely no functional reason that life should into a nested hierarchy.

“Rims do not fall into a nested hierarchy just like other human designs. There is no reason that humans should make their designs so that they fall into a nested hierarchy. There is absolutely no functional reason that life should into a nested hierarchy.”

Unless you are now a creationist you better explain the following….


&#8220;A phylogenetic tree or evolutionary tree is a branching diagram or "tree" showing the inferred evolutionaryrelationships among various biological species or other entities based upon similarities and differences in their physical and/or genetic characteristics. The taxa joined together in the tree are implied to have descended from acommon ancestor.&#8221;</SPAN>

Your point?

cupid dave said:

Yes that is all true.

However the only creation story reaching us from 3362 years ago that still conforms with the facts we now know is Genesis.

Literally, the Big Bang was the beginning of all that has followed.
And there were seven "days" or durations of Geological Time since then, too.

And light did not appear initially with the Big Bang, but there was a long Dark Cosmic Age before the stars formed and atoms appeared.

The argument for this is detailed and supported by academics

I've already demonstrated that the masturbation myths conform to the facts.

cupid dave said:

I believe that Genesis ought be taught as part of Science, since what is written can be considered hypotheses about ideas that proved to be modern theories.

Just what in Genesis 1 does not conform with science?

...Certainly NOT Gen 1:2 = the molten spinning accretion disk of our Earth...

Doesn't a molten spinning accretion disc give off light?



If I recall, there was no light in Genesis 1:2.

"Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep". (Gen 1:2).

I think they rounded down vs up.

if 65,000,000 years is 10 minutes (600 seconds)
then 1 second = 108336.333 years
0.0089 seconds = 969 years.

Those are species, not begats. You do know the difference, do you not?

Also, some of those species are more than likely cousins, not ancestors.

Um ... Cupid?

I strongly disagree with that chart that shows Ham as a Negroid -- very strongly.

If it's based on the [false] assumption that God cursed Ham with dark skin, maybe the assumer should read Genesis 9 again.

God cursed Canaan, not Ham (since God had already blessed Ham in Genesis 9:1).

And Canaan, as we all know, settled in the Promised Land, not around the equator.

Having dark skin is a curse?

why even discuss science with people who don't understand it?

Tell them to go school, or read a book. Why waste your time with people who simply want to refuse to acknowledge the facts because they've been mislead with falsehoods their whole lives?

It's good for a laugh. Besides, AV needs us to feed his persecution desire.

Old paradigms die hard.
The Fundamentalist christians on the one side, and the psuedo-science literati on the other, tend to hold on to what they repeat from the last generation in spite of the evidence I show you here.

Genesis cleasrly see these 22 links oin the ascent of modern man as species because Gen 5:2 says so:



Genesis 5:2Male and female created he THEM; and blessed THEM, and called THEIR name Adam, (a species or kind) in the day when THEY were created.

There are a lot of things I have concluded to be wrong, without studying them in-depth.
Evolution is one of them. The fact that I don't know that much about it does not bother me in the least
