Evolutionary Theory

[IsaacNewton]

All evolutionary theory is a best guess as to a sequence of events that no one observed. The data is based on comparing fossils that may be years, decades, centuries, millennia, or even longer, that are supposedly related. Without direct observation of the sequence of events that the theory suggests makes the evidence presented suspect to misinterpretation.

No, there IS observed real time evolution in mice, fish, and insects. Here is one example.

That's funny. Aren't you evolutionists the ones who claim that evolution takes millions of years? Make up your mind. BTW, what you describe is not evolution. It's adaptation. There's a big difference. No evolution has occured. It is simply a matter of expressing genetic traits that already exist.

Riiiight. The fossil record shows a slow progression over the last 600+ million years from very small organisms that are very simple to very large and complex organisms. And there isn't any crossover. You don't see a Stegosaurus 300 million years ago. You don't see apes 100 million years ago. You don't see humans 20 million years ago.

Some just can't get past the belief in a magic Ginn that blinked and all these things appeared just as they are in the time they lived. Reality doesn't require magic as an explanation. Time and chemistry get it done without any help.

I'm not denying evolution happens... If you look at how I view God then there's plenty of room for evolutionary theory,,, and yes there is direct evidence in the case you're citing. However for the most part what I stated is true about the correlations between fossils that are so many years removed from each other. Just because fossils appear similar does not mean they are directly related. Look at the parallel evolutionary patterns between marsupials and other mammals. The bone patterns of two totally unrelated animals could be very similar and therefore be mistakenly classified as directly related. Where in actuality the reason for the similarities was a matter of environmental causality.

That's funny. Aren't you evolutionists the ones who claim that evolution takes millions of years? Make up your mind. BTW, what you describe is not evolution. It's adaptation. There's a big difference. No evolution has occured. It is simply a matter of expressing genetic traits that already exist.

"Aren't you evolutionists the ones who claim that evolution takes millions of years?"

No. Larger changes in the genome take longer, in general. Yes, the example to which you referred is evolution.

You might want to do some research on the geologic collumn. Many species appear out of order. Depending on where they are found, they can be found in earlier or later geologic stratta. There is no linear progression. It's all jumbled up. Just like what would happen during a global flood, like the one mentioned in Genesis. But you go right on believing what you want.

There is not enough water (even with all ice melted) to totally flood the world. Localized floods happen, but not planetary ones.

No. There are ways for the strata to be jumbled, but flooding would not do it. Earthquakes, glaciers, and even movement of the tectonic plates would be a better answer.

Nope. The gradualists thought that, but as people have been able to do more research the theory has been improved.

That's due to the rarity of fossilization. It is extraordinarily difficult for things to be fossilized. Thus, the circumstances in one area that made it possible, did not exist in other areas. Thus you get a incredibly jumbled view of the world.

No, there was a "Great Flood". Every ancient culture speaks of it. The problem is modern people don't look at the geography of the past. Dr. Ballard has been mapping the floor of the Black Sea and they have found dozens of ancient human settlements along the continental shelf. Mankind clusters around the oceans. That is as true today as it was back then. When the last ice age ended all of that water flowed into the ocean basins and raised the oceans to our current level.

Those people who lived along the coast had to move, and pretty damned quickly. So yes, there was indeed a Great Flood. It just wasn't a global event as we understand the globe. But to a primitive people it WAS a global event. You all don't think enough about these things.

No, there was no "Great Flood". First, modern cultures only speak of it because they speak of the past. Clearly we have had no "great flood" in modern, recorded history. And the ancient cultures, while they may have experienced floods, could not have known the flood was "great", or, specifically, "worldwide". They were ignorant of happenings far away.

So, no, saying "every culture speaks of it" does not lend credence to any "great flood". Every culture also speaks of ghosts, and gremlins, and karma, etc etc

Exactly what do you think a group of civilizations, which form mainly along the continental shorelines, would remember when the mile thick ice sheets that covered not only North America but also Europe and parts of Asia melted?

What kinds of shifts and disturbances in the geological substrata worldwide would happen when millions of tons of ice no longer exist to press down on those continents?

What do you suppose the environment both oceanographic and meteorological was like during those changing times?

After those ice sheets were gone how much higher do you suppose was the sea level?

[RWNJ]

There is not enough water (even with all ice melted) to totally flood the world. Localized floods happen, but not planetary ones.

If the land was mostly flat, as it was in the time of Noah, there would be enough to cover the entire Earth with several thousand feet of water.

There is not enough water (even with all ice melted) to totally flood the world. Localized floods happen, but not planetary ones.

If the land was mostly flat, as it was in the time of Noah, there would be enough to cover the entire Earth with several thousand feet of water.

If the land was flat? Yeah. That is a great supposition.
