Dogs produce dogs, cats produce cats, turtles produce turtles....
... None of which contradicts evolution theory. What do you think evolution says?
Similarities in genetic makeup could easily mean common designer. That is my theory.
That's not a theory, it's an assumption. It's completely unfalsifiable, since DNA could have shown absolute disparity between species - thus indicating that common ancestry is false - and you could
still claim this as evidence of design. Shared DNA is evidence of evolution, since it shows that
all life shares common genetic traits, which is precisely what we would find if all life evolved over time from common ancestry
through genetic mutation and natural selection. It also clearly shows common ancestry through retroviral DNA inserts, which are commonly shared on the exact same genetic bases between species that evolution predicts share a common ancestor. The closer evolution predicted the link to be, sure enough, the more retroviral inserts were shared. Considering the possibility that two separate species would be infected by the two separate viruses and leave the exact same retroviral insert on the exact same genetic base is one in several billion, this clearly indicates that both species share a common genetic ancestry.
You can't prove or disprove my theory.
Which is why it's not science.
..you cant even prove your theory.
Theories are never "proven" in science. Basic terminology.
You are basically saying...
1. Any two or more organisms that have similar genetic makeup is evidence for evolution.
It's far more complicated than that. Not only is it similar genetic makeup, it conforms exactly to evolutionary predictions. Evolution predicted we share common ancestors with contemporary apes, and sure enough we have a closer genetic similarity to apes than any other species. Evolution predicted that all mammals share common ancestry. Sure enough, the further down the tree we go we find less and less genetic similarity. Our supposed distant ancestors have less genetics in common with us than those that evolution predicted are our closer ancestors. Keep in mind that this was all predicted
before the genetic similarities were unearthed. If you don't consider that evidence, then you don't know what evidence is in science.
2. Humans and apes have similar genetic makeup
3. Therefore, Humans evolved from apes
This is clearly illogical, as the conclusion doesn't follow from the premises.
What's clearly illogical here is this analogy, which doesn't even make any sense.
There is no "fossil record".
Here's a fairly good database:
The Fossil Record 2 - Palaeontology and Biodiversity Research Group, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol
When you find a fossil, if you determine anything other than "something has died", then you've left science and resorted to religion.
That is a profoundly nonsensical thing to say. What you're basically saying is that science cannot draw any conclusions about anything from anything. So you're just going to ignore DNA, dating methods, geology and archaeology? Nobody can look at any object or item and determine anything other than that it exists? So how do you go about reaching a conclusion that God exists by looking at the world? By your logic, the existence of life indicates nothing more than that life exists. If scientists, particularly scientists in the field of fossil research, cannot draw any conclusions from fossils other than "that something has died" then you, I or anybody else cannot draw any conclusions about anything from anything. Honestly, what an absurd thing to say.
You don't know whether that fossil had any children, and you certainly don't know if the fossil had DIFFERENT children.
Life reproduces. We look at the fossil record. We see a slow change in morphology from early life forms to later ones. Are you suggesting that none (or most) of these organisms didn't reproduce and all this gradual change is purely accidental?
That isn't the question at hand. Are you lacking in reading comprehension skills? How many times have I said "there are many kinds of dogs....big dogs...little dogs....hairy dogs...tall dogs...short dogs...but they are all DOGS"....I've said this on at least two other occasions. No one is denying this, because this can be OBSERVED...this can be TESTED...only a fool would deny this. The point is, that is the limit of the variation. You will always get a dog when you mate dogs. My point is, to say or believe that the dogs of today "evolved" from a non-dog of yesterday is purely religious speculation. No evidence whatsoever. And that is what you have to believe, if you believe in evolution.
So, you've just ignored everything I've explained for the third time.
Very well then, goodbye.
