Does anyone believe in Evolution anymore?

Still waiting for you to answer the actual question...
Its clear you aren't waiting for anything, as you know that the species appearing suddenly complete, shows the fallacy of evolution. How could it happen, why is there no chain going all the way from the most simple organism to these sea and land animals. Any evidence shown is useless, as the saying goes, 'a man convince against his will'..........

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...

Species don't "appear suddenly complete" evolutionary lineages of many families are well known. You claimed that there is explicit evidence disproving evolution, you have yet to present it. "Yeah, but where are the intermediate forms BETWEEN the intermediate forms" is a thoroughly debunked PRATT, as has been repeatedly explained to you. Try reading some actual science some time, instead of quote mining creationist sites.

The fact there are evolutionary lineages with gaps is not evidence against evolutionary theory. The many other more complete lineages we have more than make up the deficit. The fact we don't know anything about your 17 great grandfather is not evidence against your having had one.
Any evidence shown is useless, as the saying goes, 'a man convince against his will'..........
The irony :rolleyes:

Of course you dont believe the silly garbage you
make up is how things are. Nobody else does
either.

The weird thing is you can make it up and then believe
it is what others think.

Tell you what... you come up with a theory other than evolution that better explains all available evidence, and I'll happily abandon evolution. So when you're ready, let's hear it?

Except that we *do* find exactly such animals in the fossil record. We actually *do* see dinosaurs with feathers that were ancestors to modern birds. We *do* have fossils of teansitional forms between 'fish' and 'land crawlers'. For that matter, we have *modern* species that bridge that gap.

And yes, among the scientific community that studies these questions in detail, the support for evolution is universal.



First, evolution and the Big Bang have nothing to do with each other. One is biology, the other is cosmology. The evidence for the two is different and independent.

The Big Bang has been amply supported by the evidence from the cosmic background radiation, which has allowed the development of precision cosmology over the last decade or two.

Far from being under stress, the overall BB scenario is focusing more on details now that we have the evidence to test our previous questions.

You show one misconception: the universe did NOT 'appear out of nothing'. There was no time when there was 'nothing'. In other words, whenever there was time, there was matter, energy, and space.
A good thing that science has shown is that those who teach that Genesis tells us that God created the earth out of nothing is false. Genesis never says that! In fact, it tells us that the earth existed before it was formed into the earth as we know it today.

It seems that the more we learn as scientific and archaeological finds come to light, the less people believe in Evolution.
Which people are these?


Evolution along with the 'Big Bang' idea are losing the people as more evidence comes to light. How could the universe just appear out of nothing
Wait - isn't that what YOU believe?

Do you not also believe that humans were made from dust all at once?

Many of these ideas of man are being discovered to be unsupported, or no longer seem to have any validity with people today

Well, I did just read an article that science education and understanding in this country are suffering, in large part to social media where any moron with a computer can put up a youtube channel and a website claiming the earth is flat/creationism is true/etc. and they can attract similarly moronic followers, and of course, religious conservatives have been successful at getting science education watered down so as not to offend their little snowflake selves.

I believe in evolution

God did it

Day Six

Chapter Two of Genesis is NOT a retelling of Chapter One
it was a tweak
a bump up
Cool story, bro.
Any real-life evidence?
Never mind - I know it is a waste of time to
ask such things
of you.

Except that ALL species are *always* 'complete' even though they are changing over time.

Well, it may be useless to those who don't bother to learn how to understand some basics, but for others it is quite useful and informative.

I really don't care what Genesis teaches one way or the other. it is a myth from about 3000 years ago and is pretty much irrelevant to the science we understand today.

I don't care that you don't care. But as one who believes the Scripture it's important that archaeology has discovered fossils which show that the earth is much older than those who claim Genesis teaches that God created the earth out of nothing.

Archeology and, more importantly, paleontology. The latter of which, by the way, supports evolutionary theory.

So you're happy to accept science when it confirms what you already believe, it's only when it doesn't confirm your pre existing ideas that you have a problem with it.

I don't discount that there were different species inhabiting the earth before it was created into the way we know it today. the evidence shows there were.

And that biological species change over geological time. That *is* evolution.

In Europe it is almost forbidden for a scientist to contradict Darwin. In Italy coauthor Massimo Piattelli Palmarini was ostracized from the Italian universities for writing What Darwin got wrong
Good.
Pseudoscience should be shunned.
Maybe it had to do with the fact that Palmarini is a cognitive scientist, not a biologist with a relevant background or track record? And his coauthor is a philosopher?
And NOT that people were afraid of the truth, as you seem to be implying?
I mean, it seems these clowns just wanted to make names for themselves.

New critique intends to rebut Darwin’s ideas - The Boston Globe
"This new critique intends to rebut Darwin’s ideas but seems largely to misunderstand evolutionary theory"
