Why is evolution taught in our schools?

[Tinker Grey]

So no evidence. Got it.

 

[tas8831]

Actually, the account in Genesis was given to Moses by God Himself, so He should know how He did it!

But no corroboration? Just Moses' word that this interchange happened?
Ok....

 

[tas8831]

Jesus quoted the account in genesis, and since he was the one who created Adam and Eve, and was there in the Garden with them!

Wait.. what? Jesus created Adam and Eve?
Time traveler?

 

[tas8831]

If one does not accept that Jesus is the Lord God, and the scriptures are inspired, than there is no proof that will satisfy someone!

So....

You have to pre-believe it to believe it.

The posting quoted by another poster in my same post!

Sorry if I was not clear. I am asking for a direct quote from Darwin claiming that the theory would stand or fall based on the fossil record. I'm well aware of what he said about "innumerable transitional forms" but that's a quote mine that he addresses in Origin.
>> But, as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?It will be more convenient to discuss this question in the chapter on the Imperfection of the Geological Record; and I will here only state that I believe the answer mainly lies in the record being incomparably less perfect than is generally supposed. The crust of the earth is a vast museum; but the natural collections have been imperfectly made, and only at long intervals of time. <<

But there's nothing the quote mine nor the full quote that states that evolution will stand or fall based on the fossil record. Do you have an actual quote of him saying that?

Which evolved beings are you referring to?

ANY living creature which had it's origin in WATER. They descend with modifications from the "common ancestors" which Jesus made. John 1:3 The sons of God (prehistoric people) are good examples. They were NOT Humans, because they did not descend from Adam, the common ancestor of ALL Humans.

Do you mean evolved brachiopoda, or evolved carnivores, or evolved arthropods, or evolved bryozoa, or something else?

Anything which descended from the last universal common ancestor, which was made some 9 Billion years, in man's time, AFTER Adam was made.

Are you being incredibly anthropocentric and are referring to humans as the evolved beings?

Humans are born with the superior intelligence which only God and Humans (descendants of Adam) have INHERITED from Adam. Mindless Nature is a neutral man-made concept which has NO ability to place God's superior intelligence in Apes. Your false ToE has NO power to change any creature into a Human. (child of God)

You do realise a human is no more evolved than an oyster?

Neither is evolved since evolution is the godless name for descent with modification within a population over time. Oysters descended from L.U.C.A. No magical evolution needed. Inheritance from one's parents is the process.

 

[Subduction Zone]

He stated that his theory will rise or fall depending on transisition record that would be found. or not found in this case!

He made no such claim that I am aware of and at any rate we have an almost endless supply of transitional fossils.

In your own words can you try to define what a transitional fossil is?

 

[Subduction Zone]

I see. False tests continue to show that prehistoric people magically changed into Humans with the highest intelligence in Nature. Let's see your false tests which tells us that today's backward Science CANNOT tell us of our true Human origin on another world.

No false tests. Where is your evidence that they are false? And no magic involved. Where did you get that idea from?

 

[Aman777]

I saw this when I foolishly clicked on 'view ignored content.' I did not attempt to refute you because you have been on my ignore list for months.
I will only respond thusly - bible verses are only evidence that something was written down by ancient middle eastern numerologists, for which there is ZERO corroboration or supporting evidence.

I don't believe you since you have ZERO evidence for your foolish views. Today's backward Science has NO idea where life first came from and neither do you. It's impossible to refute anyone who can show the agreement of Scripture, science and history in Genesis Chapter One, which was written thousands of years before science. It's testable evidence of the literal God. His name is Jesus.

 

[Aman777]

Prove it

Easy, since no man thousands of years before Science could have possibly authored Genesis One. Can you tell us a man who knew the scientific Truth and correctly told us the first stars did not light up at the big bang? Of course not since only God knew that it was millions of years after the bb on the 3rd Day Genesis 2:4 before the first stars appeared on the 4th Day Genesis 1:16 which is billions of years in man's time. It's proof that God wrote Genesis.

See the last post.

I did see the last post, which is why I wrote the post you just quoted. You did not answer the question asked.

 

[Aman777]

No false tests. Where is your evidence that they are false?

There is NO scientific way to change the intelligence of animals into the superior intelligence which only God and Humans have. Genesis 3:22 Science has confused the sons of God (prehistoric people) with Humans (descendants of Adam)

And no magic involved. Where did you get that idea from?

It would have to be Magic since only by INHERITANCE can one become Human. Tell us of your magical process which goes against Science, History and Scripture and cannot be repeated. Tell us of this magical process which ONLY mankind has undergone. You cannot.

Prove it. Your claim, the burden of proof is upon you.

Nope,you are now using circular reasoning based upon a premise (your above statement) That you did not support. In all likelihood it is a false premise. Reasoning based upon false premises tends to be incorrect.

It's post #355

Yeah, I saw that post too. You either misunderstood the simple question that I asked you or deliberately obfuscated, either way you failed to answer it. Since this thread is about evolution taught in public schools, not colleges, I was asking you about your own K-12 education, not about your alleged PhD in "creation."

 

[YeshuaFan]

So, you are saying that ALL species, living and extinct, were on Noah's ark?

Are you sure that you want to plant your flag on that?

Yes, as the volume within the ark was enormous, and the need would be for only a male and female kittens and puppies, as the Dna for all of the kinds of cats and dogs would have been in their genes, so not really that much space required. Also, remember that God had all animals on plant food diet during that time, so lions and lambs would lie down next to each other!

 

[YeshuaFan]

I have not.

But that is where faith comes in.
Creation is a matter of faith, not scientific fact.

ONLY creation can explain the origins of life even!

 

[YeshuaFan]

Notice how your point about "Micro-evolution; variants within a given species.
We have never observed one species turn into another species" was quickly deflected with volcanoes, something made from dust, and how faith doesn't pertain.

Evolution cannot explain how life came to be originally, has no evidence of any transistion from one species into another, and is pretty much built upon the desire to not being a God rather than real science!

 

[Subduction Zone]

A story is not an explanation.

When you post like this it only tells us that you have no idea of what you are arguing about. There are countless transitional fossils. So many that almost all fossils are considered to be transitional today.

Learn the terminology, and then see if there is evidence for it or not. Also you probably need to learn what is and what is not evidence. The concept is very simple and is in my sig.
