Those who believe in effects without causes, effects that defy natural law, effects that would be laughed out of a courtroom if they were claimed today do believe in magic.
Please, YT, stop it. Your embarrassing yourself reïterating all these debunked or outright false claims that have been explained to you a hundred times.
Unless you can explain the physical mechanism, then yes. Like so many other fantastical stories from so many other religions, it would conform to the definition of magic.
For how many generations do finches remain finches, and what criteria would designate a non-finch descendant?Answer to #1 - if you believe it supports or contradicts the theory of evolution, that depends on you. It doesn't matter what you BELIEVE -- because -- finches remain finches thus far as I know. Maybe you KNOW more than that. If you can discern the answer to your question, so be it. If not, also so be it. #2a&b are up to you -- to decide. If you cannot discern what I think based on the evidence we can see now that finches remain finches, so be it. Oh, and viruses remain viruses. Thus far.So I understand. Maybe you know more.
And some masses have more weight than others. Weight and gravity depend on the amount of mass.
People drive cars, we fly, we diagnose and cure diseases, we create nuclear power, we create computers -- all based on verified discoveries and knowledge uncovered by science.
Palpable poppycock!
And the only reason you know about these two being false, is because science exposed them as such.
The claim you were asked to support was that "there wasn't enough time" for evolution.There have been five mass extinction events in Earth’s history, at least since 500 million years ago, and about 29 more.

Life appears to have recovered faster than we thought after the worst mass extinction event in our planet's history, nicknamed the Great Dying.
New evidence suggests that once the Permian-Triassic extinction hit Earth 252 million years ago, life rebounded in 1 million years - a far cry from the 10 to 20 million years that previous research has indicated.
The extinction event has been linked to a combination of volcanic activity and a runaway greenhouse effect, and was responsible for obliterating 9 in 10 marine species, and 7 in 10 land species.

Enjoy,
He's talking about Einstein's cosmological constant. Einstein added it, without direct evidence, to make his equations work. Later he regretted it and called it his greatest mistake. Later still, it was found to be real, despite Einstein kind of pulling it out of his hat.
“Stop it” is a takes two to tango thing
I don't think you're going to see finches evolve into non-finches, just like I don't think you're going to see fish "evolve" to humans. Period. And bye for now, take care, enjoy celebrating Christmas while you and fellow celebrants believe in evolution,How so?
DNA.
No. It's, for the upteenth time, because evolution is a vertical process which results in SUB species.
Meaning that one never outgrows its ancestry.
What you call "fish" in the ancestral lineage of humans, are actually vertebrates that lived in the sea. Humans "remain" vertebrates. They were not "modern fish".
Salmons are not your ancestors.
So the descendants of finches, no matter how many millions of years into the future, will still remain withing the lineage of finches.
This has been explained to you so many times, it's not even funny that it still hasn't found its way into your brain.
So try to remember it this time: IF FINCHES EVOLVED INTO NON-FINCHES, THEN EVOLUTION WOULD BE DISPROVEN
Have a good one!
Insofar as miracles vs. magic and "evidence" -- how about Jesus being born of a virgin, going to heaven, meeting Paul on the road to Damascus. That's kinda why I got on here to begin with...so glad I did, and so I thank you very much!
Did these experiments keep going to see just how much they developed into different species-- of fruit flies? Guess there wasn't enough time for them to get to be not fruit flies -- unless, of course, as some people say humans are fish...maybe not fruit flies -- I'll look at the taxonomic figurations of the figuring of scientists as to what happened if fruit flies evolved according to science to something other than -- fruit flies...good question! Thanks, or really perhaps some might say gorillas are fruit flies. But no! They're FISH! Now I'll have to see what came first --
fruit flies or fish.
They're not "two different things." Either humans are fish or they are not. Maybe they're fruit flies. I'll look that up.
