    The flaws in Intelligent design

    All of that larger-group stuff is where I get into a problem with the evolution theory. Hybridization between species of the same genus, or even related genera is kind of an all-in-the-family thing. There are groups of both plants and animals where separate species in a genus each have their...

    Not sure what you want to bait me into here, but I'll bite for now -- Yes, he is just. A just judge.

    And the rest of your post expands on this and backs it up very nicely. Well said.

    It would take no effort at all, but why would he bother? Would you expect God to show up and perform miracles for the amusement of a disrespectful disbeliever? He doesn't need your approval.

    The flaws in Intelligent design

    I wouldn't have thought there was anything unusual about this statement in this forum until I saw at the bottom of your post that you believe in God. I was not aware of that until now. If you believe in God, why do you need evidence? if He said He created everything, why don't you believe...

    The flaws in Intelligent design

    I have read the material in the links you provided. I see that it deals with the natural hybridization of plants in the Tragopogon genus with a particular interest in the varying ploidy in generations of offspring, etc. I have no argument at all against where this research goes, including any...

    Depends upon whether you want to have a friendly communication or an adversarial communication.

    The flaws in Intelligent design

    But there is no clear evidence for evolution. And the only pope I know of who made any case for evolution is Pope Francis, and that was only an informal ill-planned answer to an on-the-spot question asked by some news reporter. As for a literal reading of Genesis, maybe you are referring to...

    The flaws in Intelligent design

    It's not a gotcha. I'm trying to get you think about it. if you can ponder that God created the universe, then you could naturally accept the notion that God can create whatever form of life he wants for whatever specialized existence. So a creature might fit neatly into a category of...

    Can you assume that every unusual creature is a transitional form? Is the platypus a transitional form?

    I was shooting for a polite denial. The absolute truth to me is just what I said. Bird and Fish. They can only be categorized as transitional forms in rhetoric, which does not change what they are.

    I'll still go with bird and fish, but I will admit that you are quick and articulate in your pro-evolution arguments. Nice try.

    I picked up a bit of the easy-to-say strategy of argument from you. Been trying it out.

    The flaws in Intelligent design

    1. Archaeopteryx was presented as a creature transitioning from reptile to bird, but when the bones were studied by ornithologists, they stated that its skull and bone structure indicated that it was a bird, not a reptile in transition. 2. Coelacanth was also promoted as an extinct transitory...

    We have learned that a mutation in DNA does not result in new information, but a corruption or loss of information. So that might result in deformity, disease, or death, but does not bring about about a new, improved species.
