who said that evolution is wrong because we cant falsify it? i just said that its unscientific. and so far you just proved my claim.

You have not shown a single thing that shows that evolution is unscientific.

You don't understand science in general, and you don't understand evolution in particular.

Honestly, trying to talk to you about evolution is like trying to play a game of chess with someone who thinks he has won because he got three in a row.

As I stated, that would violate phylogeny. If a modern species appears before its earliest phylogenetic ancestor that would be a huge problem for evolution. The example that you gave was not such an example. Our evolution is well supported. A man that appeared just 10 million years ago would show that there was something seriously wrong in our understanding of human evolution. That particular line of dinosaurs is not as well supported by the fossil record. That an earlier than expected species was found is surprising, but not problematic. That is if the dating is correct. Sometimes such fossils have been misdated. For example strata in mountainous areas may be more difficult to date than strata in areas that are flat. Folding and thrusting can lead to errors.

By humans.

That is the ONLY conclusion that could be drawn from your arguments via analogy to human activity.

Why?

You take the analogy of humans designing chemical molecules in the lab and then assign it to natural forces....

So why is he unable to take the analogy of humans designing things and apply it to natural forces??????

You're not surprised because you already know the answer. You admitted yourself that you can't provide an exact time of when you became an adult. What you're requesting is the same thing. We've already been through this. Why are you pushing it again?

Try actually reading the post, xianghua.
I answered an irrelevant fantasy about a limit with another irrelevant fantasy and emphasized that with a .

There is no way to give a hard number. One reason is because the fossil record is incomplete. People who learn about fossils and the fossil record can guess. The current evidence is that Homo sapiens appeared ~315,000 years ago. So a guess would be double that: ~630,000 years. Or maybe we are already close to the origins of humans so ~316,000 years. Or not that close: ~415,000 years. Or maybe we have been looking in the wrong places, look elsewhere and find a ~1,000,000 year old Homo sapiens fossil.

That is why it is finding fossils that are well before their preceding species that is the general criteria to invalidate evolution. A Precambrian rabbit, human being or bear.

Your claims show you have no understanding of evolution. You need to learn what you are talking about before you can expect to have a discussion about it.

so evolution has no such a limit too and therefore its unscientific.

but this fossil also violate the phylogeny since its appeare too early:

Tiktaalik - Wikipedia
Wow!! You have that one hundred percent wrong. Tiktaalik not only did not appear to early. It was found by using the theory of evolution. It it an example of a successful experiment.

Like most creationists you should avoid handguns. You have a tendency to shoot yourself in the foot.

But the beginning of your adulthood does have a limit....just like evolution. Can you say that your adulthood started in 1776? Of course not.
