Like men springing out of dirt.Or perhaps especially when they place their trust in some ridiculous man made theory.
You have got to be kidding. I stand by that. Existence of an apple or apple trees doesn't prove evolution. Anymore than it proves to you that God created them.This is one of the claims you made. No evidence yet provided to accept it as valid.
I didn't give support for that because it is my own belief. It doesn't make sense that an eye would just start developing by natural selection. It would take many thousands of years for an eye to develop to the extent of actual vision. (Even if it was possible) The microscopic changes that would take place would be so undetectable for so many years with continued blindness. How would natural selection even be able to recognize that it was an improvement to be further carried on?Here's a series of unsupported claims about natural selection and the evolution of the eye.
Ok so what's your answer? Evolution says the egg came first. How did you get that egg without something to lay it?Like men springing out of dirt.
Still more philosophy and no evidenceYou have got to be kidding. I stand by that. Existence of an apple or apple trees doesn't prove evolution. Anymore than it proves to you that God created them.
No , the burden is on you , since you made that claim.I don't need to provide evidence that existence of a tree doesn't prove evolution. The burden is on you the believer of evolution to prove that it does.
Another vague questionAre you honestly telling me you think just the existence of something proves evolution?
An egg laying a snake didn't evolve into an egg laying a chicken - that's for sure. At least to me it is. You can claim to know what happened 350 million years ago if you want to, but you can't prove any of it.Another straw man. Gosh, creationists sure love to make men out of straw. I don't deny and never have denied that some animals lay eggs.
That they do is evidence that some animals lay eggs and not evidence of your claim that eggs didn't evolve.
No evidence from you either. If you think the mere fact that something existing proves evolution, then I can think the mere fact of something existing proves God created it.Still more philosophy and no evidence
No , the burden is on you , since you made that claim.
Another vague question
Evolution explains how it get to something.
We don't know if it is from nothing or from something.
Abiogenesis bothers about that , not Evolution.
Really. That is interesting since it has been my expressed stance since engaging you.Ok I didn't realize you are distinguishing between supporting a claim and proof. To me that's the same thing.
I have observed some snakes, turtles, frogs, fish and birds laying eggs. I haven't seen all of them doing it. What I have seen is corroborated by my studies, the literature and the observations of others.Of course you believe some animals lay eggs.
The evidence teaches us that eggs were first.The question is since evolution teaches the egg came first.
Why are you continually running away to this and not supporting your claims? Either support your claims or admit that you cannot.Where did that first egg come from without something to lay it? Don't run away from the question. Either answer or admit you can't answer.
How can you?And I can support some claims with scripture which you don't seem to be willing to accept as support.
You haven't so far.Other claims I can support with common sense and/or what we observe in nature.
I wonder where mom laid my egg?For example an egg has to have something to lay it.
The burden of proof for you claims is on you and you have done your best, badly, to try and shake that off.No the burden of proof regarding evolution is on you, not me.
I don't either.I don't believe evolution was how things were created.
You are claiming evolution is wrong and you are correct. You can't show anyone but excuses why you can't show this, but that is one of your claims.You are the one claiming evolution is correct and I am wrong.
You can keep being wrong all you like, but it won't divest you of your burden or magically make erroneous statements factual.Evolution says the egg came first, but that it is impossible because you have to have something to lay the egg first. The egg can't evolve before the thing needed to lay the egg.
Nature supports my claim that an animal lays the egg before the egg exists. That is all the proof I need.Really. That is interesting since it has been my expressed stance since engaging you.
I have observed some snakes, turtles, frogs, fish and birds laying eggs. I haven't seen all of them doing it. What I have seen is corroborated by my studies, the literature and the observations of others.

Why are you continually running away to this and not supporting your claims? Either support your claims or admit that you cannot.
The problem is that they can't understand that Evolution and Abiogenesis is not the same.
No. It doesn't. There is no explicit statement about eggs found in the theory of evolution.Does evolution not say that the egg came first?
Can you show us that?That is an incorrect assessment of the process.
Show us that this is true and all the evidence of evolution is wrong.Because you have to have something to lay the egg before you can get the egg.
Evidence can be found on a farm. Unless they have a still, then proof can be found there too,.(Proof can be found on a farm.)
Strawman - because I said things do evolve after the creation. Just not to the extent you seem to believe they do.The burden of proof for you claims is on you and you have done your best, badly, to try and shake that off.
I don't either.
You are claiming evolution is wrong and you are correct. You can't show anyone but excuses why you can't show this, but that is one of your claims.
You can keep being wrong all you like, but it won't divest you of your burden or magically make erroneous statements factual.
Show us that an egg can't evolve.
Let's see what game this engages.
Show me. If I am wrong and you are right, shouldn't you show me so that I can be right too?An egg laying a snake didn't evolve into an egg laying a chicken - that's for sure.
That isn't really much of a standard.At least to me it is.
You can claim lots of things, but you should be able to support those claims and not go through some game to avoid that.You can claim to know what happened 350 million years ago if you want to, but you can't prove any of it.
Again you are attacking straw man.No evidence from you either. If you think the mere fact that something existing proves evolution, then I can think the mere fact of something existing proves God created it.
That is not a matter of opinion , that's a fact.If you believe evolution is true
Evolution teaches 'how' not 'what' and 'who'.Vague questions won't change anything
then explain about the egg being in existence before the thing laying the egg. Because one of the things evolution teaches is that the egg was first.
And yet, no real evidence from you either.No evidence from you either.
No one has made that claim of straw.If you think the mere fact that something existing proves evolution, then I can think the mere fact of something existing proves God created it.
If you think that everything was formed as is a few thousand years ago, then show me.If you believe evolution is true, then explain about the egg being in existence before the thing laying the egg. Because one of the things evolution teaches is that the egg was first.
No. Not at all.Strawman
You make contradictory claims along those lines. Things evolve, eggs can't evolve. The two can't both be true. No straw man. Do you really think this is good witness?- because I said things do evolve after the creation.
What extent is that?Just not to the extent you seem to believe they do.
Why would I attempt to show you something that I have previously stated is not something claimed by me or in science? This just gets more and more ridiculous.Show me an egg that just appeared without something to lay it.
