    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Hi again Tom, Your follow up was thorough and appreciated. But I gotta note 2 things: - It sounds like you’re leaning towards wrapping up the nice conversation? Are you? - You brought up flying fish, and I have now asked you twice some simple questions. Yet you’re dodging. So, last time if I...

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Hi again Tom, Yes indeed, I totally agree that species have the ability to adapt. I think of a polar bear, which is a good example of one sampling of the overall bear family; it has adapted and thrived in cold regions. Again, animals are amazing. But one kind (species, if you must) of animal...

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Yes, I just caught a YouTube video of “flying fish.” The world is full of amazing creatures! You mentioned this fish as “evolving straight from water to air.” How did you mean exactly? Did you use the “flying fish” example because you reckon it to be a fish which is eventually on its way to...

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Hi Columbus (Tom), Fluttering what exactly? Or... gliding with what exactly? Before any bodily change occurred in the non-flying ancestor, didn’t it have nothing at all to flutter or to glide with? You seem to be jumping ahead too far in the evolutionary sequence. I’m just stating what had to...

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Thanks for the nice write up, Gnostic. I was not at all keying in on the word “impossible.” I could have ended my initial posting with the phrase “highly improbable” to make the same thought/question. But yes, the idea of probable vs. improbable is certainly revelant. To follow up, and to focus...

    What prompts a plant to evolve?

    Thanks for your reply, Polymath. Even though I began this thread in regard to plants, I’ll unashamedly divert to the example of animals, since you mentioned animals in your post; the comment caught my attention! I really want to get to the heart of the matter regarding what “survival” really...

    What prompts a plant to evolve?

    In an earlier post, a particular topic of discussion sort of got lost in the various comments, so I wanted to start it fresh. Someone described evolution thusly: “Evolution happens in an environment and is directed towards survival in that environment (adaptation is the first step).” I...

    "Mythical" Creatures Believers

    Proverbs 41 describes the leviathan, an extinct creature that possessed dragon-like features. It evidently had the ability to ignite some sort of internal gases to the extent that it could be described as flames flashing forth. Quite an impressive animal, and credible as far as I’m concerned...

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Thank you! Just to clarify my “corn” statement... I was not talking about human beings developing a variety of corn. I’m talking about long before that. I’m thinking of that point in time when corn did not exist period. Evolution tells us that some “simpler” plant must have given rise to corn...

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Re: 1 - If evolution occurs at all, it must begin with an individual, right? Or if not, how large of a population simultaneously gives birth to offspring, each of which possess the very same minuscule modification? Re: #2 - Obviously complete transformations don’t occur in one generation. But...

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Thanks for all follow up and sharing intriguing comments. I’m being told that my statement is invalid. Yes, agreed. No human mother can give birth to a human capable of flight. Common sense rules it out. And the human form is not suitable to give rise to a flying kind in future generations...

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    My own answer.. “outright impossible.” Why? I can’t see a human mother birthing a child that... a) can fly, or b) possesses the minute beginnings of characteristics for flight. Anyone happen to find agreement with this basic reasoning?

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Thank you, Tom! My first post, and quite enjoyable to see the replies. Makes me feel important, heh.. heh..

    “Common sense” question for an evolutionist

    Is the following statement logical or is it illogical…? “Human beings have the capability to someday fly." What would you say... is this statement worthy of any consideration? Is the human species capable of giving rise to a flying descendant, or is this idea outright impossible?
