Top 10 Myths About Evolution

[Bungle_Bear]

You suspected the sun decreased entropy....and then you got schooled,
which prompted you to fire a diversion challenge using a school.

You haven't schooled anyone, you've simply made an assertion and avoided providing the evidence to support it when asked.

FYI the sun doesn't decrease entropy. The energy coming from the sun allows entropy to decrease. If you don't understand I suggest you stop posting.

Stop equivocating. Address the request for valid documentary support for your assertion. (You don't need to feel ashamed about being mistaken. You should definitely feel ashamed if you choose not admit your mistake.)

The anatomy of the human eye shows that it is anything but “intelligently designed.” It is built upside down and backwards

simply wrong:

"IT LOOKS wrong, but the strange, “backwards” structure of the vertebrate retina actually improves vision."

Evolution gave flawed eye better vision

What a dope! It works great

this design actually improve vision:

About 1/3 of all fossils are found outside of the "correct" strata layer.

here is one for instance:

Tetrapod trackways from the early Middle Devonian period of Poland

I've been to a handful of schools and don't recall any experts in anything.

Apparently you need to visit some different schools.

What points from and to?

Natural selection pointed chimps and us in different directions.

8. Evidence for human evolution has turned out to be fake, frauds, or fanciful.
Eager to discredit evolution, creationists ignore hominid fossil discoveries and cherry pick examples of hoaxes and mistakes in the belief that mistakes in science are a sign of weakness. This is a gross misunderstanding of the nature of science, which constantly advances by using both its mistakes and the successes. Its ability to build cumulatively on the past is how science progresses. The self-correcting feature of the scientific method is one of its most powerful assets. Hoaxes like Piltdown Man, and honest mistakes like Nebraska Man, Calaveras Man, and Hespero-pithecus, are, in time, corrected. In fact, it wasn’t creationists who exposed these errors, it was scientists who did so. Creationists simply read about the scientific exposé of these errors, and then duplicitously claimed them as their own.

It's the critical aspect of not trusting what others publish
that stops fraud. No hoaxes would ever have been established
without the help of science faithfuls to pass them along unchallenged.
Its only the doubters and critics that keep science accurate.

Read the title of your link veeeeery, veeeeery slooooow, until you get it.

I had not considered that........example.

So there you have it. Energy from the sun heats up the earth. When that heat radiates to space the earth gets a net decrease in entropy. That decrease in entropy drives the cycle of life, feeding humans, who build low entropy cities.

 

[doubtingmerle]

here is one for instance:

Tetrapod trackways from the early Middle Devonian period of Poland

and that proves the claim that 1/3 are out of place? Are there only 3 fossils?

Oh, and we have explained multiple times to you why your argument from these tracks is invalid.

 

[xianghua]

belief in creationism will go the way of belief in ghosts, tarot cards, and divining rods.

can you give a real evidence for evolution?(not variation). check also my signature link for evidence against it.

Evolution can't account for morality.
As a social primate species we evolved a deep sense of right and wrong in order to accentuate and reward reciprocity and cooperation, and to attenuate and punish excessive selfishness and free riding. As well, evolution created the moral emotions that tell us that lying, adultery, and stealing are wrong because they destroy trust in human relationships that depend on truth-telling, fidelity, and respect for property. It would not be possible for a social primate species to survive without some moral sense. On the constitution of human nature is built the constitutions of human societies.

Our ability to trust and cooperate identifies why we are different from animals.
We are grounded in fellowship from our Creator..

Let’s say you are right about this. There are other feautures of the eye that are not optimal from a design perspective. For example, the retina is only very loosely attached and is susceptible to detachment.

I believe it is well-established that for all the wonders of the human body, there are some “design” flaws.

Other animals can trust and cooperate.

you said that this is a bad design. right? but this isnt and they just believe its a flaw when they actually admit that this structure actually improve vision :

"Light has to pass through nerve cells to get to the rods and cones, but that order is no mistake"

or:

"Having the photoreceptors at the back of the retina is not a design constraint, it is a design feature. The idea that the vertebrate eye, like a traditional front-illuminated camera, might have been improved somehow if it had only been able to orient its wiring behind the photoreceptor layer, like a cephalopod, is folly"

have you heard that? evolutionists were wrong about this.

The second law of thermodynamics proves that evolution is impossible.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics applies to closed, isolated systems. Since the Earth receives a constant input of energy from the sun—it is an open-dissipative system—entropy may decrease and order increase (though the sun itself is running down in the process).

False claim. Sunlight does not decrease entropy.

the fact that most people have no problem with that prove its just fine.

You're surprised a flawed design can still be optimized by evolution? Then you haven't been paying attention.

there are now at least six intermediate fossil stages in the evolution of whales

Intermediates between what?
They are still mammals.
