Absolutely and demonstratively false, and it's no wonder that you deny what the vast majority of scientists throughout the world well know.
And it stands even to just plain old common sense based on general observations, namely that all material objects change over time and genes are material objects. To deny evolution is to deny what we see on an everyday basis.
I have no problem with things changing due to environment, habitat or changes in food sources, but all science can really prove is that adaptive changes happen in response to those external circumstances. It is pre-programmed in all species to do this. What I cannot reconcile and what scientists seem to swallow down so readily, is that provable adaptive change is then automatically transferred to macro-evolution as a given, without any real proof that it ever happened.
As I mentioned to you a while back, I grew up in a fundamentalist Protestant church that taught against evolution, but fortunately, even when I was still in high school, I began to realize that I was being sold a nonsensical bill of goods.
When I was in High School, the theory of evolution had just begun to be taught in science classes as part of the curriculum. I fell for it hook line and sinker and assumed that scientists were people I could trust to tell me the truth. In my later teens and early twenties I started to dig deeper into this theory and found rather large holes in it. Nothing has filled those holes to date. But I also rejected Christendom's YEC approach. It wasn't until I began to study the Bible that I realized that both were wrong. There is another explanation that accommodates what science "knows" (as opposed to what it suggests) and what the Bible actually teaches. This moderate middle ground was very satisfying to me because it didn't force me to assume that God created evolution. Compromise is never a good position where God is concerned. He doesn't lie about anything. If he said he created all things directly, then that is what he did.
When I did my undergraduate studies, I started out in biology, and then in my junior year there I switched to anthropology. When I did my graduate work, it was almost entirely into anthropology, eventually getting a job teaching it for roughly 30 years.
And if you had Christendom's YEC in mind when you did your comparisons, then no wonder you rejected it.
The evidence for evolution is absolutely overwhelming, and it's too bad that the JW's and many of the fundamentalist churches brainwash their adherents to reject known science and even common sense itself.
Solid evidence for adaptation is readily seen in many species. (It is what Darwin saw) but the "evidence" for going beyond that is clearly in the realms of wishful thinking. "Brainwashing" is not limited to the churches....science too is brainwashing children into thinking that macro-evolution is provable....it isn't.
Please provide substantiated evidence that amoebas can become dinosaurs and that chickens are their descendants. Science can provide "suggestions" about those things, but suggestions about what they "think" or "assume" cannot be held as "facts". Can you produce evidence for macro-evolution that does not rely on "belief" or "assertion"?
There are many books that can help to correct your perception on this, and if you need any recommendations, I can help you. You might even be surprised to find that most scientists aren't ignorant when it comes to science.
My perceptions do not need correcting...and I am sure that you would say the same thing. We have each chosen our position and we will stand or fall by our choices. Scientists are in exactly the same position as creationists when it comes to hanging onto what they 'want' to believe. Neither has real scientific evidence to back up their beliefs. One just pretends to....and they have better marketing.
If you believe Jesus is the messiah, fine-- I don't really deal with this any longer as my approach to religion in general has changed. I'm not against them, which is why I still attend services weekly as I do feel that they're important. I think that at least most religions and denominations are honest attempts to try and understand God or the Gods, but it's unfortunate that all too many leaders simply use them to brainwash their congregants into blindly accepting certain dogmas that defy even common sense at times.
I have no doubts about Jesus being the Messiah, but that is my choice after evaluating the evidence and making my decisions accordingly.
Sometimes the brain is so full of toxic stuff that it needs a good 'washing'.....but once it is clean, refilling it with more garbage is counterproductive. We choose what goes in there.
So, let me recommend that any time you say "God's Law" that you realize that there are 613 Commandments that are still valid today for Jews to follow.
Let me just say this.....because I accept Jesus as Messiah and God foretold that we must listen to him or we will answer to God, (Genesis 18:15-19) then what Jesus says about the Law applies. He said he did not come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill it. The Christian scriptures concur with the Hebrew scriptures.....the Law was a means to an end and once it accomplished what it was sent to do, it was replaced by a new covenant with new laws.
Jeremiah 31:30-32 (Complete Tanach)
Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, and I will form a covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, a new covenant. להִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים נְאֻם יְהֹוָה וְכָרַתִּי אֶת בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֶת בֵּית יְהוּדָה בְּרִית חֲדָשָׁה:
31 Not like the covenant that I formed with their forefathers on the day I took them by the hand to take them out of the land of Egypt, that they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, says the Lord. לאלֹא כַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר כָּרַתִּי אֶת אֲבוֹתָם בְּיוֹם הֶחֱזִיקִי בְיָדָם לְהוֹצִיאָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם אֲשֶׁר הֵמָּה הֵפֵרוּ אֶת בְּרִיתִי וְאָנֹכִי בָּעַלְתִּי בָם נְאֻם יְהֹוָה:
32 For this is the covenant that I will form with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will place My law in their midst and I will inscribe it upon their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be My people. לבכִּי זֹאת הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר אֶכְרֹת אֶת בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל אַחֲרֵי הַיָּמִים הָהֵם נְאֻם יְהֹוָה נָתַתִּי אֶת תּוֹרָתִי בְּקִרְבָּם וְעַל לִבָּם אֶכְתֳּבֶנָּה וְהָיִיתִי לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים וְהֵמָּה יִהְיוּ לִי לְעָם:"
On the Passover night before his arrest, Jesus instituted this new covenant with his faithful apostles.
Luke 22:19-20: (TLV)
19 And when He had taken matzah and offered the bracha, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you. Do this in memory of Me.” 20 In the same way, He took the cup after the meal, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you."
This new covenant no longer had a written code, but was to be inscribed on hearts as Jeremiah foretold. The law now was summed up in its two primary principles...."love of God and love of neighbor". Keep those two and you cannot break any of the other laws.
