    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    Well- I don't see where you added in the effects I listed but you seem convinced and I am not in the mood to argue.

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    "It is clear that there are no extant species that are the result of additional abiogenetic event." Why is that clear since the evidence for any abiogenesis effect would appear the same in a survivor of an event and one from a new abiogensis event? You did say earlier that abiogenesis is...

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    Thanks and I would agree there seems to be pressure that can cause rapid evolutions. Now how can that be unless there was something in our DNA that responds to a dramatic pressure to speed up the process? That then conflicts with the idea that evolution is random and a result of selection and...

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    Preferring one theory over another is not disbelieving. I find it hard to believe that a world famous evolutionists would proffer a theory he knew could not happen and he made it clear it was a possibility. Whether he believes it is a strong possibility is irrelevant to the point that it is a...

    You are getting into argument and badgering mode again. Take a break and we can try again tomorrow.

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    Well the potential to happen is there but it does not seem to happen for some reason and that is the point I was trying to make.

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    That is assuming that only micro evolution is happening. Add in the odds of random mutations, unsuccessful evolutions, life span and reproduction cycle of the organism and tell me what you get. Those are all increased in a smaller population.

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    "with no real limitations" I would have to disagree. It seems that all successful evolution center on survival and reproduction. You could grow an eye where your bellybutton is if any genetic mutation was limitless but those mutations that seem to serve no real purpose are not passed on even...

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    You will by nature draw conclusions of any question based on a preconceived bias. That is evident in some of the posts. Did I do that intentionally- well it got you talking right and who wants to sit around and discuss things only with people you agree with. What would be the fun in that :)

    No problem and sounds like we have a lot of common ground and good to see!

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    A question has a question mark after it. I was relating my experience from talking to amy people that claim to believe in evolution but has never understood that mass extinctions have happened that changes the odds greatly of that theory. As you can see we got to the crux of what I was after...

    "I do not deny the possibility of panspermia" If that is as far as we get today in finding common ground I will take it!

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    Well you obviously have a bias so you want to believe that I am sure. However, Dawkin's did say it and it is a logical theory that other scientists have and are exploring at present. It it obvious there is a lot of pressure on scientists to never stray into any theory that might open a door for...

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    "Because you were specifically asking how evolution can take billions of years when there are extinction events " I never asked that question. I asked how mass extinctions fit into your theories. "It's simple: the species we see today evolved from the survivors of extinction events." I'm not...

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    " Unlike Darwinian evolution there is no supporting framework for intelligent design" Dawkin's and crick seem to believe there is a supporting framework and the scientists that say life does exit on other planets and could be intelligent is also evidence for that theory. The theory of...

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    OK, you changed your position there: " The species we see today DID evolve from the species that survived these extinction events." " Like I said, we still don't fully understand the process, so we can't be sure of what we would need to look for." You were strongly saying the species today...

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    Yes I am not seeing that abiogenesis would stop or has stopped as a supported theory.

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    "Free carbon-based matter, for one." How is free carbon based matter depleted since no material is ever created or destroyed and just changes form?

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    "My thoughts are that there have been five extinctions and we are hell bent on creating the sixth." We agree on that. "each evolution is followed by comparatively rapid expansion" That does seem to be the case. Could that then be a built in trigger into DNA that a stressor would cause rapid...

    How Do Evolutionists Explain Mass Extinctions in their Theories?

    Now wait a minute? what resources are you talking about that is necessary for abiogenesis to produce life that would be in short supply when that life is thriving on the planet?
