Why is there so much opposition to evolution?

[Man of Faith]

Can you explain how you went about this research?

Can you give us the names of books or websites?

-Q

No, I've spent a long time, probably 4-5 years digging on many websites, books, magazines, libraries, you name it. I've chased many rabbits down many holes getting to the bottom of the "evidence" for evolution. I can equivically say it didn't happen. It's a joke and a scam.

 

[Noaidi]

So, if I said "wrong" as a counter-rebuttal to those rebuttals then I whould shread that rebuttal?

I think you are being asked to provide evidence for your assertions. Lay them out and let's examine them in more detail.

Now, that's a statement that just cries out for justification!

Edit: did you mean to write 'unequivocally' instead, or does your statement stand as it is?

Definition of equivocal:
1a : subject to two or more interpretations and usually used to mislead or confuse <an equivocal statement> b : uncertain as an indication or sign <equivocal evidence>
2a : of uncertain nature or classification <equivocal shapes> b : of uncertain disposition toward a person or thing : undecided <an equivocal attitude> c : of doubtful advantage, genuineness, or moral rectitude <equivocal behavior>

The justification is all around you and you can't see it. It's probably 2 minutes from your fingertips. You've probably read it many times already.

Apart from not being able to spell equivocal, I don't think you understand what it means either. As usual, you're good for an unintended laugh though.

Message to Man of Faith: What evidence do you have that humans and chimpanzees do not have a common ancestor?

Do you believe that a global flood occured, and that the earth is young?

Do you believe that the flagellum has evolved, or has not evolved?

Are you aware that many Christian experts and laymen honestly believe that God has used evolution, and have not been pressured to believe that by anyone?

 

[Man of Faith]

Even evolution own websites admit that evolution is a scam, not in those words of course. One famous popular evolution website that evolutionists quote at me constantly admits that a transitional fossil doesn't show any transition. What??? I'm flabergasted that anyone would accept that theory.

I supplied him with a definition in my edit.

Talk about a post that was :foot:
Do we have a symbol for shooting oneself in the foot, I wonder?

Please post the websites that you are referring to.

Even if a God exists, you cannot reasonably prove who he is, and what his agenda are. Just plain on common sense indicates that a global flood did not occur, and that the earth is old.

And there is another beef I have with evolutionists. I have to constantly keep educating them. You should already know that a transitional fossil doesn't show any transition from one creature to the other. How can you accept a theory when you have such a large gap in your knowledge base?

The rebuttals of your 'arguments' did not consist just of the word 'wrong'. Thermodynamically the earth is an open system, so your 'argument' from thermodynamics fails instantly. Your probability 'argument' rests on a false premise, biomolecules do arise by non-biological means, and beneficial mutations are perfectly possible; transitional fossils are widespread, and the cumulative evidence for evolution is vast.

You can splutter 'wrong' until you are blue in the face, but these facts won't go away.

You mean a mythical website of your own invention, right?

What??? I'm flabergasted that anyone would accept that theory.

Even many conservative Christian experts are flabergasted that many Christians believe that a global flood occured, and that the earth is young.

Message to Man of Faith: Is it your position that the flagellum has or has not evolved? If the latter, what is your evidence?

So what theory do you suggest replacing it with?

Of course a transitional fossil by itself doesn't show any transition. That would be like trying to measure the slope of a point.

Educating us about what? With what? You haven't given us any evidence yet.

Don't flatter yourself.

The only gaps are in your kowledge base. [lack of education on the subject]

You have been shown the errors of your ways multiple times here on this very subject.

 

[Agnostic75]

But don't you know that the vast majority of inerrantists are not experts in science? "The Bible says so" is enough for them. Why isn't it enough for you? Where is your faith?

Henry Morris, Ph.d., Institute for Creation Research, was an inerrantist. He once said that &#8220;the main reason for insisting on the universal Flood as a fact of history and as the primary vehicle for geological interpretation is that God&#8217;s word plainly teaches it! No geologic difficulties, real or imagined, can be allowed to take precedence over the clear statements and necessary inferences of Scripture.&#8221; (Henry Morris, &#8216;Biblical Cosmology and Modern Science,&#8217; 1970, p. 32-33.

You must know that Romans 3:4 says &#8220;God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.&#8221; Why do you need science to validate the Bible?

The late Dr. Morris only used science as a convenience when he believed that it agrees with the Bible. That is intellectually dishonest, and it makes a mockery out of science.

But no one at these forums except for you knows who you are, and what your science education is. As such, your personal anonymous opinion is next to nothing as compared with the known over 99% of U.S. scientists, including many Christians, who study the earth and its lifeforms, and accept naturalistic or theistic evolution.

Since you believe that a global flood occured, and that the earth is young, you have a lot of audacity claiming that evolution is "a joke and a scam." No rational personal would claim that a position held by over 99% of scientists, including many Christians, is a scam. A scam is a dishonest hoax. You have not produced any credible evidence that evolution is a dishonest hoax. When Charles Darwin wrote 'On the Origin of Species,' he was a theist, not an atheist. He carefully explained his theory.

How in the world can fossils and sediments be mixed by a global flood and lay down fossils and sediments like the geologic record shows? Obviously, they can't, as even some evangelical Christian geologists know. According to some of the known laws of science, a global flood is impossible.

Ha, it's funny 'cause it's true.
