Whale with hooves

Interesting logic. Let's see... no, people don't jump off of cliffs because as children they fell, and they can clearly witness even as a child that things accelerate as they fall.
..What I believe in is Jesus is the Christ and the resurrection of man. And I look forward to being in heaven with him some day

No better a juxtaposition of contradictory claims could be asked for.

But indeed, interesting logic.

Er, I mean, special pleading.

Or is it double standards? Hard to tell with these folks.

I vote this thing is some kind of marine iguana, created in Genesis 1.

AV , You do understand that someone very familiar with vertebrate anatomy can tell the difference between a reptile and a mammal. Even an amateur like me can tell that this is not a reptile - that single jawbone is a mammal trait. A professional can get a scapula and tell you whether or not the animal walked on 2 legs or 4

Still butthurt about that, eh...

Don’t know whether you can read this or not but the acceptance of humans evolving over time among AAAS members is about 99%

its also true for about 100% of creationists if by "evolved" we mean any kind of variation. so its depend on the definition. by the way the majority of scientists also believe in higher power.

genetic variation within a species means Microevolution . Variation within a genus to the point where a new species forms is macroevolution. Creationists playing pigeon chess by ignoring data ( knocking over the pieces) and changing terminology ( pooping on the board) doesn’t make them win . It just makes them even more ignorant than they already are.

Variation within a genus to the point where a new species forms is macroevolution..

but even creationists accept that. so by definition almost 100% of creationists accept evolution.

Indeed they do. Quite ironic, isn't it?

but it also mean that most scientists may not believe in common descent.

Well done! You got that correct.

 

[Brightmoon]

but it also mean that most scientists may not believe in common descent.

beliefs are for religions . Science works on verifiable evidence

 

[pitabread]

but it also mean that most scientists may not believe in common descent.

Most scientists accept common descent as a valid conclusion based on the available evidence.

Most of the people who tend to dispute common descent are non-scientists who do so because of religious beliefs.

 

[xianghua]

Most scientists accept common descent

any reference?

isnt common descent a belief? if not please prove me that we are related to a banana.

 

[Subduction Zone]

but it also mean that most scientists may not believe in common descent.

And you were doing so well

 

[Subduction Zone]

isnt common descent a belief? if not please prove me that we are related to a banana.

No, it is an obvious conclusion derived from the evidence. And I doubt if you are ready to understand how we are related to a banana.

any reference?

Pew Research Center has done a poll in the past on views of scientists versus the general public: Section 5: Evolution, Climate Change and Other Issues

Nearly all scientists (97%) say humans and other living things have evolved over time – 87% say evolution is due to natural processes, such as natural selection. The dominant position among scientists – that living things have evolved due to natural processes – is shared by only about third (32%) of the public.​

Project Steve is another prime example of the support for evolution among scientists: Project Steve

At last count, over 1400 "Steves" had signed their support for this statement:

Evolution is a vital, well-supported, unifying principle of the biological sciences, and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that all living things share a common ancestry. Although there are legitimate debates about the patterns and processes of evolution, there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism in its occurrence. It is scientifically inappropriate and pedagogically irresponsible for creationist pseudoscience, including but not limited to "intelligent design," to be introduced into the science curricula of our nation's public schools.​

Steven Anderson..........LOL............not a good source of information about anything other than how to be a bigoted, anti-Semitic blowhard.

Christopher Broughton's Pastor Steven Anderson Prays for President Barack Obama's Death

Steven Anderson, Wacko Tempe Pastor, Now in Anti-Semitism Business

Meet the Pastor Who Told Me He Hoped I Got Brain Cancer and Died | HuffPost

And here I thought Anderson was just a blowhard idolator*. The more you know.

*No, really. The one video of his I remember watching back in the day was him holding a copy of the King James Bible and saying "Behold your God", explicitly, directly, and repeatedly saying the Bible is God.

I guess he's trying really hard to win the Awful Olympics.

I don’t know whether you can read it or not , but bananas are angiosperms over there on the left and humans belong in placentalia which is around the middle. All of the Eucarya are cousins. This is a very very very very brief summary of 300 years of the life sciences
