Empirical evidence proclaims the fact, that the fossil record however sparse, should be littered with transitional species.

Charles Darwin wrote: "When we descend to details, we cannot prove that a single species has changed; nor can we prove that the supposed changes are beneficial, which is the groundwork of the theory.”[

To me, the facts are far more interesting than the fictions.
Charles Darwin admitted that his theory required the existence of "transitional forms." Darwin wrote: "So that the number of intermediate and transitional links, between all living and extinct species, must have been inconceivably great. But assuredly, if this theory be true, such have lived upon the earth."[4]However, Darwin wrote: "Why then is not every geological formation and every strata full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely-graduated organic chain; and this perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against my theory."

How many bones of various things do you see scattered around? How do you expect there to be a pre-discovered fossil of every transitional form when clearly there is no way that can be the case. Evolution is a fact and if that threatens your beliefs then it is time to reevaluate your beliefs, not reevaluate the facts.

Always question belief AND scientific fact... I'm sure I read somewhere that in the not so distant past, it was a scientific fact that the earth was flat.

That's actually the point of science. The perception of a flat Earth is proven to be false by scientific testing. The point of science is to arrive at greater truth through careful examination of evidence, the purpose of religion is to establish a truth and then continue to bend reality to fit that idea despite any evidence to the contrary.

So eventually science might disprove evolution? You have no surety whatsoever.

If science and religion must be mutually exclusive, then why would there ever be a scientist who was a practicing Christian, Jew, or Muslim etc... In the post that I responded to you have "faith" that transitional forms existed even though there was no proof, but you question the faith that others have in God, or the existence of another plane beyond our understanding. I have yet to see scientific proof that neither exist as well.

There's no sense in arguing. Like it or not, religion is coming to an end. It is simply time for everyone to grow up and put the bible on the same shelf as the rest of the mythology and fairy tales. I don't believe in your God for the same reason you don't believe in the ancient Greek Gods, I simply believe in one less God than you do and I choose to make my life decisions based on evidence, not faith. I could care less what you believe but I draw the line at religious people imposing their fantasy version of reality on to others.

I didn't impose a thing or argue. I was having a discussion with someone I thought to be rational. In fact I don't think I mentioned my beliefs or the bible at all. I simply said question everything, including science AND your own beliefs.

carry on then...

unless you could establish your beliefs also faith based, with facts then you are hypocritical.
BTW, the Law of Causality establishes via science that the universe has a first cause creator.

Why are you still talking?

the current paradigm, which is fundamentally flawed, suggests that the fossil record paints a picture, put these pictures together and they compose a scie-fie hit.
But, there is a huge problem,either the fossil bank and various tactile facts are wrong or the current paradigm is wrong. I'd have you know that this is not the theories first crisis and paradigm shift.

Science is faulty because it changes, or ahem, evolves. Religion is a constant stable, proving its flaws thus in solidity. Sorry for wrecking your worldview. i regret nothing. :)

Evolution is a fact? Have you seen it? Has ANYONE reproduced the big bang and or evolution in a laboratory? Sorry bro, but evolution (since no one's seen it) takes just as much faith to believe as "religion". Some evolutionists say "We can't see your God. That means He can't be real blah blah blah etc. etc. etc." Well guess what! You can't see ANY evidence of evolution (or the big bang) anywhere! Noah's ark is possibly found. King Solomon's copper mines are found. TONS of things in the Bible people are finding out that all those things are possible more like true! Why is it that you can feel safer around Christians? (Typically). Well, you've probably skipped through my entire rant, so I'll make the ending good. You don't believe the Bible, I don't believe evolution. Do some research, and you'll find some interesting things.I heard a man say once: "The universe is like a big clock. All the pieces work together and it wouldn't work if one of the pieces was missing. If you dismantled a clock, put all the parts in a box, and blew it all up (box and parts) (big bang) do you think it would create a perfect, fully functional clock? Something to think about. See ya. Sort of imposing, but hope you change your mind. Doubt you will though. :(
See ya.

Q&A
"Noah's ark is possibly found. King Solomon's copper mines are found. TONS of things in the Bible people are finding out that all those things are possible more like true! "

A: If many events is the bible are real, this doesn't therefore prove god is real.

"do you think it would create a perfect, fully functional clock? "

A: No, but our "clock" isn't fully functional or perfect. And there are quintillions of planets while so far only one has any form of (discovered) life. It is far from "perfect", quite, quite far. It took almost four billion years after the formation of the earth for single cells to form. This is not optimal. What god would do that?

"You can't see ANY evidence of evolution (or the big bang) anywhere! "

A: yes, you can. Fossils, Distributed atoms, Darwin's finches, different races among humans, the continued expansion of the universe, ect. Now, your turn for evidence of GOD.

"Has ANYONE reproduced the big bang and or evolution in a laboratory? "

A: Evolution, yes. It's called selective breeding and is how you get wheat for bread instead of grass.Big bang-wise, you've got me there, but the universe was the size of a marble and expanded to the size of... well, the universe, so try fitting the f*cking universe in a lab.

"Sorry bro, but evolution (since no one's seen it) takes just as much faith to believe as 'religion'."

A: Fossils, finches, Ongoing mutating bacteria, cont. Reality is no faith, though few beleive it.

"Do some research, and you'll find some interesting things."

A: Aye, m'love. Research is a fine thing. Please try it someday.

"All the pieces work together and it wouldn't work if one of the pieces was missing. If you dismantled a clock, put all the parts in a box, and blew it all up..."

A:The big bang made the 'pieces' itself. And it works 'with pieces missing', seeing as it is made from scratch. Your analogy is faulty. Have you read about how the big bang
"supposedly" occurred? Even if you don't believe it, please knoweth thine shite.

"Why is it that you can feel safer around Christians? (Typically). "

A: Opinion.

"Some evolutionists say "We can't see your God. That means He can't be real blah blah blah etc. etc. etc."

A: There are many things you can't see that are real. (i.e. love, infrared light, gravity) I beleive you mean "can't explain using logic and solid proof".

If you wish to further quiz me, please do. Thank you for reading! Cheers!

Where did matter come from? Originally. Evolutionists can't answer. But I can. It had to be created at some point. Matter is not eternal.

"Where did matter come from? Originally"

A:The big bang. Before that, it didn't really exist, per se, but maybe it did. We don't know yet because we wait to find out via logic and tests, not asking a thousand year old book for answers. We can make a discovery from a month before obsolete, and you people simply do not progress. Your belief has stagnated. Seeing as it does not adapt, it cannot be correct.

"Your belief has stagnated. Seeing as it does not adapt, it cannot be correct."
It was correct in the first place. Your beliefs progress so you can't really say you think it's true if it will change constantly. When scientists find a way to create matter, then we'll talk. ;)

When God can show us how he creates matter, then we'll talk.

i fold. i have better things to do in life than this, seeing as neither of us are changing viewpoint.

Game, set, and match. ;)

Half means a meme here and there. A check to see if there are any good front page memes every two months.

I suppose for now...
Well actually I'm half leaving imgflip. :P

define half...

we all know that narrative....
But geology, mathematics,chemistry and physics to name a few sciences that don't agree with the theory.

It is. We're ALL transitional species.

Then Orphan Genes should not exist. We have a large number of genes that have no taxonomic history.

Ha! Good one! http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/15-answers-to-creationist/ (read number 13). I'm lazy, otherwise I'd just use my own words or copy/paste the whole thing.

Evolution is imperfect.
God is perfect.
Eh?

Darwin wrote on his theory to Dr. GRAY:

"I am quite conscious that my speculations run quite beyond the bounds of true science." - From a letter to Asa Gray
