It is ridiculous in simple wording, and it is science fact in scientific wording.
Now THAT is a fun show!
God made nature.
Therefore, for a believer, it follows that whatever nature does is operating according to His design also (e.g., by the design of nature, the laws of physics).
That includes the interesting natural effect that some random mutations in genes can end up being advantageous (even though most are not). And that accumulated variations that slowly accumulate (the non fatal ones) can some of them end up being especially advantageous for a species when the climate or other conditions like available range changes, so that certain less common traits some individual lines in the species have are suddenly a survival advantage.
Ergo, (many) believers in God often see evolution as a pretty good design.
They have faith.
thousands of good science minds get their work published on a regular basis, and you complain that you can't. And the fact that all those minds who do get published accept evolution as a fact, while you will not.
So why do you think that is, again?
I believe that a Christian can believe in the existence of God, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and also accept evolution for what it is; not sure if Evolution in that it is still a theory or an actual scientific fact?
I have not that information.
but we can also see it operating, before our eyes in real time. Examples are the development of variants of SARS-CoV-2, or the way cancers become resistant to chemotherapy

Please explain the difference between "species" and "kinds."This is called Adaptation, which produces new species, but not new kinds.
Look for example at your dog.Please explain the difference between "species" and "kinds."
I believe that evolution can be a useful tool, but I believe all it is a theory just as the Big Bang too, unless it completely proven to be a scientific fact, then that will change my whole perception of reality if that could be found out.
Look for example at your dog.
His kind is dog-kind because his LUCA (Universal LCA) was the dog.
But he has a special breed "german shepherd", this breed is his specialty within his kind.
He is a special dog. Thus, his specie is his breed. Another specie is buldog.
Water formed in space not God origins energy burning became stone.I'll accept your "Christian-Dogma" section as an accurate account of Biblical "kinds".
That's ridiculous on its face. But I'll accept the underlying idea that biological evolutionary thought does think that if we trace back the phylogeny of both fish and humans, we will indeed arrive at a common ancestor. (Or perhaps a single ancestral population.)
Since early fish seem to have been the ancestors of land tetrapods, the common ancestor of both would seem to have been a very early chordate of some kind.
You would have to go back a lot farther to find a common ancestor of chordates and arthropods. Probably back to the early "Cambrian explosion"
Yes, the current idea is that all life on Earth is descended from LUCA, the Last Universal Common Ancestor. It needn't be a particular cell, it probably was a population of very similar cells. I have no good reason to doubt this account and think that it explains the similarity of all Earth life down at the cellular level.
LUCA might not have been a bacterium. It might have been something simpler. It's presumably what both the bacterial and archaean lines diverged from at some unknown early date.
Yes, that's a very good question. If life has evolved tremendously since the appearance of bacteria, and if evolution selects for evolutionary fitness, why do bacteria still exist? All of the later developments would presumably have superior fitness, right?
My reply would be to observe that there has been lots of evolution in the bacterial lines. We still call them "bacteria" largely because they all share the same simple prokaryotic cellular anatomy. But bacterial evolution hasn't been a matter of acquiring an ever more sophisticated anatomy -- teeth, claws, feathers or brains. Bacteral evolution has been biochemical evolution.
Bacterial cells are far more diverse than our eukaryotic cells in the kind of biochemistry that they can undertake. So that bacteria can occupy all sorts of ecological niches that are impossible for other organisms.
There are even bacteria living deep inside tiny voids in the rocks of the Earth almost as deep as the Earth's crust goes. Some of them may have been isolated down there for most of the history of life on Earth. They survive because they don't require the kind of conditions that life like us requires and they have the ability to metabolize the minerals that surround them.

Here on Earth's surface, bacteria have survived almost everywhere, largely because of their metabolic efficiency and adaptability. And that's almost certainly the result of evolution. Admittedly evolution will be hard to trace in bacteria. For one thing they all look alike, more or less. It's only the last few decades that microbiologists have been able to examine them at the genomic level. Even at that "molecular bar-code" level, there are complicating factors like horizontal gene transfer. But even if it's difficult or even impossible to trace clear phylogenies/family-trees among bacteria, we can be reasonably sure that they have been evolving over the last 3.5 billion years.
Yes, I think that's almost certainly true. If we reran the history of life on Earth, from the origin of life to today, the result would probably be totally different the second time. There's probably a chaotic aspect to it.
Again I agree. I suspect that the initial appearance of life might have been a fortuitious event. Life might be very rare out there in the universe. (Biologists still need a good definition of what the word 'life' means before exobiologists can hope to even recognize hypothetical alien varieties.)
Then we can't just assume that evolutionary history on planets with life will lead to beings like us. There's lots of directions that evolution can go, a huge possibility space.
That's why it's my guess that intelligent life is very rare out in the universe and why I believe that alien extraterrestrial life might be far more alien than we expect.
The first is nonsense. The latter is a valid statement of science so far as the evidence indicates.Simple wording: "the modern fish is originated from your grandmother Diana."
Scientific wording: "All life on Earth shares a last universal common ancestor (LUCA)" Wikipedia.
You really need to learn the basics of science. Do you want people laughing at you for your entire life? You can learn if you try.This "ideology" is not ideology, but my religion -- Christianity.
Theme science today.
A pressure change forced crops to lay down in a pattern.
Reason pressure inside mass changed.
Was never Phi.
The science man says pressure changed as his answer. The only real answer.

Is it really? Newton's theory on gravity is incomplete (false in a sense), but it got us very far and is still useful.
Looks like your logic fails again.
