The Theory of Evolution is supported by the evidence.

I am open to the idea of theistic evolution as long as there is not just one common ancestor for all species and kinds.

So, in reality, you're actually not open to the idea of theistic evolution at all. Theistic evolution asserts that Darwin's ideas on evolution are correct while still maintaining that a "god" started it all. To make it clear, theistic evolution says that there is one common ancestor. What you sound like is a creationist, correct me if I'm wrong. But try not to say you believe in something when its principles show you clearly don't.

Well, rafi - if he can fake actually trying to learn something, it makes it easier to lie to his God.

Lying to us is easy. Pulling the wool over God's eyes is a much tougher gig.

The Bible states that man was formed from the ground. So does evolution. In that sense evolution might be true. If true we evolved immediately into a man, and all other kinds evolved immediately into their kinds. Each kind has its own ancestor. No common ancestor for all species.

We're really not interested in your bizarre religious superstitions. This thread is about the scientific evidence for--or against--ToE, one of the most important theories in the history of science. Got any? Interested in hearing about any? Or does evidence not enter into your world?

I am offering my interpretation of the evidence. You no likey?

Who are you trying to kid?

You aren't interpreting the evidence - you're ignoring it.

No, evolution does not say anything of the sort.
Showing once again a profound ignorance in the actual Theory of Evolution.

And again, attempting to fit your preconceived notions of Biblical creationism into a poor imitation of science.

Why do you keep saying that? No matter how many times you say it, it's not going to be true. Simply stating a made up fact with no citation also makes your argument appear weaker. Your interpretation of evolution is misinformed, allow me to help.

What is an interpretation of evidence? Science isn't about interpretation, Danmac. Now what evidence exactly do you think points to the existence of an undefined, indistinguishable called a "kind," and in what way?

Seriously man.

I'll lay it out for you one more time, since I've only been on this forum for about 2 days. Everyone else is probably sick to death correcting you on this.

Evolution states that species will change over time due to environmental pressures, which will select for beneficial mutations. Evolution makes no statement about the origin of life. That theory is called abiogenesis. Further, evolution 'claims' that man evolved from a common ancestor we share with apes. Not 'formed from the ground'.

The amoeba poofed out of thin air ? Science does know how the first amoeba came about don't they?

No one is proposing that it poofed out of thin air. You're the one proposing, "poof out of thin air." But science doesn't have all of the answers, but because something is unknown doesn't mean that you're justified in making something up. I would much rather take an, "I don't know" than a "magic man did it." Because saying I don't know doesn't stop you from investigating the true nature of the situation.

 

[Autodidact]

If you are interested in the subject of abiogenesis, please start a thread. This one is about evolution. I'm assuming you have nothing to say on that subject?

Now, Danmac, did you not know this, or did you know it and not care? That is, are you ignorant, or dishonest?

btw, the first living creature was definitely NOT an amoeba. Do you often find that utter and total ignorance is an effective way to refute a well-established scientific theory?

You're right. All biologists are morons.

 

[tumbleweed41]

I am sure you meant to say the first self replicating molecules or perhaps Ur-cells.
But that would be abiogenesis, a biochemical event. Not evolutionary biology.

The Story of Evolution​

Once upon a time, (a few hundred million years ago), there lived a little one-celledanimal called "Amoeba". No one really knew where Amoeba had come from.They say his Fairy God-Mother named "Mutation"had created him.Certainly he could not havecome from God, because after all, atheists mustdisbelieve inGod as a matter of religious faith. No, the Fairy God-Mother named "Mutation" must have waved her magic wand and "poof!",Amoeba came intoexistence.

As I was saying, are you ignorant, or dishonest?

Wait, isn't magic poofing your hypothesis? Aren't you the one arguing that God waved His magic breath and literally poofed two of each of a vague, undefined category called a "kind?"

You seem fascinated by abiogenesis. I agree, it's an interesting, although speculative area. I suggest you start a thread to discuss it.

As for ToE, we can assume that the first living thing was magically poofed into existence by your God and still have the entire ToE.

Evolution does not address origin of species. It addresses common descent brought about by a common ancestor (such as prokaryotes) or ancestral gene pool. -NM-

Mutation are changes in the DNA sequence of a cells genome and is a causation brought about by a number of factors. It did not create the organism itself.

For a quick peek into the world of fundamentalism, check this out (from the same site that Danmac got his "Story of Evolution"):
Contemporary Christian Music

We believe that Contemporary Christian Music, or “CCM”, had its historic roots in Rock-n-Roll, whore-house music, and other sensual, sexual, and worldly music. CCM music is therefore wicked, worldly music with some “Christian” words added to make the music seem “Christian”.
