Science is not something to believe in. It's a method of observation and testing.

The short answer? There is evidence for evolution all around us. Some organisms even evolve so quickly that you can watch it happen.

Yes, of course, but only because it is well-established fact.

Evolution is not a fact. It's just a well accepted theory.

No, you can't take something that no one saw, that happened "millions of years" ago, and call it a fact. You just admitted that when you called it "the THEORY of evolution. Yes, micro evolution, which we can observe, is. You can't say one proves for a fact the other.

Ok, what new species have scientists observed? And don't say bacteria. And no, something cannot be a fact and a theory at the same time. A theory is a guess, not an answer.

Unless those insects evolve into something other than another insect, or the bacteria evolves into something other than more bacteria, im probably not going to read another long link that produces the same result. That only proves micro evolution. Without the magical millions of years, that's all you've got. Although I'm one to talk about believing in magical things, huh? 😉

You say, "Evolution doesn't cause a fish to give birth to a squirrel or something crazy like that." Yet evolution says that man eventually evolved from fish. How is that not equally as crazy? I give up. You win this one, brother.

What new species has emerged from another? Can you name one?
1 up, 5y
"Dolphins and whales evolved from land mammals". Isn't that going backwards? I thought we evolved from the sea? A famous evolutionist once said "we are all basically fish"...

But if mutations keep the animals from reproducing with another species, how do they evolve into new ones?
1 up, 5y
"Ring species" are solid evidence. Species A can reproduce with species B. B can reproduce with A and species C. C can reproduce with B and species D. But species A and species D cannot reproduce.

So the squirrel evolves into...a lemur?
1 up, 5y
So a squirrel evolves into another squirrel. Same species. Or should I say kind? For kinds must evolve into other kinds for molecules-to-man evolution to be true.

Look, whatever you guys call it, familia, maybe? But fish are still fish. Reptes are still reptiles. Mammals are still mammals. For macro evolution to happen, fish had to evolve into reptiles, or at least mammals to come from the ocean and walk on earth. Or as you have said, back into fish from mammals. But this is not what we observe. We observe animals adapting, usually because of their environments, into a different form of the same animal. Like big cats developed into domesticated house cats. Or wolves to dogs. But there is no observable jump from fish to mammal, or even an ape to a man. The different familia, or whatever yo want to call it, couldn't have appeared all together, all at once, or that would point to creation. So obviously there are some huge missing gaps between them that only adding "millions of years," and "those fossils and skeletons have all been lost or destroyed except for a very few" can fix.

Microevolution is a theory. Macroevolution is a hypothesis treated like a scientific law.

I posted some stuff in here about macroevolution's holes btw.

Humans writing through the inspiration of God. When you write something down, is it you that's writing, or is it the pen? God used humans as his pens to write his word.

I could give you many examples to show that the Bible is divinely authored, but don't have the time now. But considering 40 different people, who lived in different times over a span of thousands of years, conspired to write a book that has the same teachings and messages intact, and all harmonize together, defies outstanding odds. People today can't even get the same sentence right around a room of people that know each other...

The Bible does have the same teachings and message. The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed, and the Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed. The message that runs through the whole Bible from beginning to end is God's message of salvation and redemption through Jesus Christ. The OT tells of the coming redemption, the NT tells how he did it. Have you ever read or studied the Bible?

Yes, humans make mistakes, and disagree on many things.
Many examples of this are in the Bible itself, for its also a history book that doesn't sugarcoat things. But the writers, human as they were, went to painstaking lengths to make sure every "jot and tottle" was correct. The true author, however, does not make mistakes. There are more copies and translations of the Bible than any other book in the world.
2 ups, 5y
I've studied it; I was a Christian for 30 years. Reading about the Bible's contradictions and the often ridiculous "explanations" convinced me it is definitely not the inerrant word of god.

Did someone say the bible gives good advice for a moral and upstanding life? I wonder if there are any examples of that...

I'm just gonna leave this here:

Numbers 5:11-31

The Test for the wife of a jealous husband
This is "The test of jealosy"
Hint hint, we endanger the woman's life

Leviticus 19:20

Proper way to rape a slave

Deuteronomy 21:11

Prisoners of war can be slave brides, but after you rape them ("dishonored") you can't sell them as slaves.

Deuteronomy 22:23-25

Raping city women and country women means different people have to die. Just a normal death double standard

If you keep going through 28, you can learn about raping your way into marriage. Great for incels

Deuteronomy 25:5

Have sex with your brother in law for babies

Genesis 38

Dress as a prostitute and sleep with your father in law to make babies!

Judges 11:32-40

Murder your daughter for victory in battle

Such great examples... (end sarcasm)

I don't think they harmonize. If they did there wouldn't be so many different sects that some even go to war with each other.

Then I would argue that fact does not exist. Evolution theory is one of the most settled theories in the scientific realm.
1 up, 5y,

I thought science was never settled.

And still one of the most debated, I would add.
3 ups, 5y,
1 reply
I don't think that's true. Some science is settled. A water molecule is comprised of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This has been settled and there is literally no dissent. There are countless other examples right along the same lines. More abstract "science" is less often settled. Whether or not creatures evolve is settled. There is all sorts of irrefutable examples of evolution taking place as we speak/type. For example, vestigial structures...take wisdom teeth, for example. They are slowly-but-surely being eliminated in human beings. The rate at which people are born with wisdom teeth is measurably declining. That is evolution, and to my knowledge, no one is dissenting there.

Anything can be debated. Whether or not the debate has merit is another question. Claiming that evolution does not exist is insane.

Ok, thats true. But why do you think evolution is only continuing within species? For macro evolution to be true, there would have had to been a transition between them at some point in time. (Though the transitional fossils of such seem to be far too fewer than they should be.) Why would it stop and only continue within each species?
3 ups, 5y,
1 reply
Because only certain species are compelled to evolve. The compelling forces are myriad. Examples would be, increasing or decreasing salinity of the oceans, increasing or decreasing amount of land mass on Earth, increasing or decreasing CO2 levels, increasing or decreasing amounts of UV light exposure. I think some mighty power created everything, but I'm very perplexed how something could be created from nothing. To my mind, it seems necessary that everything started at some point - the sentiment is that things did not always exist - how could things have always existed? So, I believe in a higher power, but I don't know for certain how it all works. I hope I gain that understanding at time of death, if not sooner.
1 up, 5y
I just don't understand how we haven't seen any concrete verifiable transitional forms of one species changing into another. If there was millions of years of this happening, there should be fossils of them everywhere.

I believe in the God of the Bible, and that He is the eternal creator. I didnt always believe this. It wasn't until I asked Jesus Christ into my life and became born again when I was 29 that I began to read the Bible and understand it. I have learned alot since then. I hope that you find Him like I did. When we take the jump into eternity, I believe that's all that will matter.
3 ups, 5y
PS - I don't think you are necessarily insane if you don't think evolution is taking take, and has taken place since the beginning of time...I just think you're arguing something that is not a necessary condition for Christianity to be what you believe it is.
1 up, 5y
I'll agree to a degree on one point. Darwinism as it currently stands tends to focus too much on competition and too little on cooperation. After all, multi-celled organisms evolved from the cooperation of single-celled organisms.

*unlike manmade climate change! To believe that humans are responsible for changing the planet's climate is so beyond arrogant that it is comical. If humans are responsible for any effect on climate change, it is minimal to the point of being negligible.

I don't think it's arrogant at all. Animala have bern shaping the environment for millions of years. Then we come by and cut down 75% of all the forests and jungles in 150 years.

Well, this PlasmaMistExorcistKABOOM-Meme person just contacted me to ask me if I have talked shit behind his/her back. I don't think they ought to be approaching people like that. It is passive aggressive behavior and it's obvious they are looking to cause trouble. I blocked them because I'm better off never seeing their content. It appears their account is full of nothing but garbage anyway.
