Evolution of what?

I wonder if the brains of evolutionists are so unproductive that they are only passive repeaters of what they are told and are not capable of developing ideas on their own that can show the veracity of the doctrine they preach... like we, the believers in the Creator, do ... I do, because I think God is helping me on how to think and reason to defend the truth in a reasonable way.

But I don't see threads on the forum that develop genuine personal defenses of that teaching... Can evolutionists still think by themselves? Or not anymore? :oops:

They look like little birds waiting for their mother to bring them worms and put them in their beak.

The main conclusions of dating techniques has not changed in any decided fashion in the last 100 years and will not change in the future as well. The physics behind the dating methods is very very well established and is used everywhere, including developing the integrated circuit chips that makes the cellphones and computers work. The only thing that has happened is a few dating methods have become more accurate with lesser uncertainties over time and a larger number of samples can be successfully dated. That's it and that is all its ever going to be.
Of course you can continue to believe in the fiction that things will change to show your dogma to be true in some future time. Flat Earthers do that too...hoping that soon all shall see how science is misled into believing that earth is a sphere and will affirm that it is flat disc.
That doesn't mean the conclusions of dating objects and eons is accurate.

You really have not followed the debates rather well. And do you seriously think that any creationist has made a good argument against evolution? Perhaps the reason that you do not see anything new from those on the evolution side is because over 95% of all creationist arguments are PRATT's. Do you have anything original yourself?

You are the one that is showing a lack of reasonableness. Your beliefs have been refuted so there really is no difference between you claiming not to be an ape and claiming to be a giraffe. Not understanding how you were refuted does not help you.
That's what I said...take it to your theist compatriots.

Frankly, surely you have not made a good argument pro-evolution. I'm thinkin' maybe gorillas are smarter with smaller brains.. they don't argue about God, evolution or creation.

That doesn't mean the conclusions of dating objects and eons is accurate.
Scientists like us believe that the only way truth can be found is through analysis of data gathered from careful observation, analysis and experimentation. This method has been extremely successful for the last 400 years in every sphere of knowledge. The conclusions of dating follow all these principles and is based on millions of man-hours of data gathering, experimentation and theoretical analysis of experts over the last 40-50 years. It has held up to scrutiny again and again....it has been found consistent with what other fields show and is coherent with the general body of natural sciences. The methods used are widely applied in all fields of physics and engineering. All of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering needs to be wrong for the dating methods to be so eggregeously wrong. And we know it won't happen because our successful technologies work every day using these principles.

So unless we live in a Matrix like VR world and this entire experience is a hallucination....the dating techniques and its conclusions are true and accurate. That is how it is.

Here is the list of technologies that use the same principles that are also used in radiometric dating. Its a settled science.
The diverse applications of radioisotopes in modern-day industry

Modern applications of industrial isotopes​

Sealed radioactive sources are widely used in industrial radiography, gauging applications and for mineral analysis.

Radioactive materials have a key role to play in the inspection of metal parts and the integrity of welds, using industrial gamma radiography to inspect critical internal components for defects.

Within manufacturing, radioisotopes act as industrial tracers to monitor filtration and the flow of fluids, to locate leaks, to gauge wear and to monitor the corrosion of equipment.

In the oil and gas industry, radiotracers are used to determine the extent of oil fields, to log formation parameters, to determine injection profiles and to locate cracks caused by hydraulic fracturing.

Gamma radiography also been successfully put to use in inspecting the integrity of critical civil structures such as hospitals, schools, civic buildings etc in the aftermath of natural disasters such as the devastating earthquake in Nepal in 2015.

Nucleonic gauges are especially useful where the presence of corrosive substances, pressure or heat make it difficult, or impossible, to use direct contact gauges.

In addition they also offer the key advantage of being employed without requiring any direct physical contact with the material or the product being examined.

You yourself can take an online course and see for yourself radiometric dating works

That is the criterion many used to know which animals belong to the same group: whether they can interbreed with each other.

Genetics is very clear about that. Evolutionists totally ignore the laws of genetics, since humans cannot interbreed with any apes.
You mean any other apes. We can show species that cannot interbreed either yet creationists have no problem calling them the same "kind".

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
Many evolutionists are so obsessed with the idea of a chain of related animals that they forget that the environment around them must have evolved along with or faster than these animals' supposed biological evolution, or else they would not have survived in a hostile environment like the one that suggests a universe in formation.

Why do evolutionists limit their evolutionary theory only to animals, and forget about the environment that also had to be transformed to welcome them upon their "evolutionary" arrival?

For example: when did the water appear in the evolution of the animals? :eek:
We don't usually speak of geography evolving, but certainly the environment is constantly changing. It's pretty much a scientific given. Plate tectonics, weather, climate change is a constant affair. But these changes are not evolution. The environment is not adapting to anything. There is no natural selection going on as to how quickly wind wears down a mountain, no mutation in the genes of a river.

As to water, life first evolved in water, so water pre-existed life.

Until humans began altering our environment, it pretty much didn't have a response to life. It wasn't the earth that evolved to accommodate new life forms, but the other way around entirely, new life forms evolved in response to changes in environment.

Unfortunately this is typical of your lack of reasonableness. Please refer to your God believing friends on here who may like joking around your way. And also believe in the theory of evolution.

What a crime eh! People joking, God forbid if anyone is happy while you go around fighting the good fight, declaring those who doesn't agree with what you believe aren't real Christians.

I offered the suggestion already to someone else here. Go and ask those here who say they believe in both God and evolution

Only evolutionists consider themselves apes. ;)

They will continue to fall into the same void as always: "there were millions of years in which this thing became such a thing, in which the apes learned to do such things, blah blah, blah.... "
No, Eli G., evolutionists do not consider themselves to be apes. But do not deny that apes are our cousins from from whom we branched off some 17 million years ago.

"The family Hylobatidae, the lesser apes, include four genera and a total of 20 species of gibbon, including the lar gibbon and the siamang, all native to Asia. They are highly arboreal and bipedal on the ground. They have lighter bodies and smaller social groups than great apes.

The family Hominidae (hominids), the great apes, include four genera comprising three extant species of orangutans and their subspecies, two extant species of gorillas and their subspecies, two extant species of panins (bonobos and chimpanzees) and their subspecies, and humans in a single extant subspecies."

The greater apes have not generally done well and their species and numbers have been diminishing due to human interference, which is sad.
But I don't see threads on the forum that develop genuine personal defenses of that teaching... Can evolutionists still think by themselves? Or not anymore?
The religious have no need to think. Actually thinking is deprecated among them. The religious do not need brain, it is useless for them. For them all knowledge in contained in a 3rd Century or a 7th Century book, Only the evolutionists and those who accept the findings of science think.
