Questions For Evolutionists.

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Sounds crazy to believe that unzipping DNA and reproduction would occur in a random Universe

So what? You can't let these base emotions guide your intellect.

Where do 7th graders learn what you claim?

In science class.

I am not your assistant. if you want to know how we know Penguins descended from flighted birds, then look it up yourself.

If you have a problem with that explanation, then post in detail here what your problem is.

 

[Robert W]

In science class.

I mean what state teaches this to 7th graders? If you don't know, spit it out.

All of them, as far as I know. The topic of evolution is taught in middle school.

 

[SaxonJackson]

Not in the water.

Some birds do well both in and out of the water.

If evolution is this all powerful force that constantly improves upon an imperfect platform, then why didn't the penguin develop the ability to swim AND fly?

15 Amazing Birds That Can Swim and Fly:

And some don't.

What did you find, when you looked it up?

Remember, I am not your assistant.

What didn't you like about the explanation you looked up?

 

[SaxonJackson]

Nor is yours.

If I had claimed it was, you may have had a point.

And some don't.

What did you find, when you looked it up?

Remember, I am not your assistant.

What didn't you like about the explanation you looked up?

No modern explanation can adequately detail why a bird that could previously fly lost the ability to fly when flying would be more advantageous than wattling or swimming away from predators.

Says you. But the opinions of random nonscientists with little understanding of the topic aren't worth a whole lot.

"As for Cain, when the mourning for his brother was ended, he took his sister Luluwa and married her, without leave from his father and mother; for they could not keep him from her, by reason of their heavy hearts." -- 2 Adam and Eve 1:6

This left Abel's sister, Aklemia, alone until Seth grew to manhood ...

What is that?

I admire your faith in the opinions of the intellectuals of the world. Remember, though, they're mere men and fallible.

See, this is where religious people always get confused.

We rely on the evidence. "Because I said so" only works in church.

So, what did you find unacceptable about the answer you looked up?

Two simple questions for Religious Evolutionists:

1) How did the earliest organisms reproduce before they evolved sexual organs?

2) If the earliest organisms were able to reproduce without sexual organs, then why was there a need for them (sexual organs) to evolve in the first place?

The very first chapter of the Bible openly discusses the two sexes matter-of-factly. It not only discusses that two sexes existed from the beginning but discusses the purpose of sexual relations between a man (he) and a woman (she).

Well i'll go out on a limb and say, somebody, sometime, somewhere had wood Jackson......On that note, keep in mind God created us in 'his image'

Do you another way to copy long-chain polymers? ...

And you’re both convinced that this happened randomly?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Frank, please scroll back to the beginning of our discussion, where this subtopic was addressed. Thanks.

 

[mamooth]

Why did they eventually need to evolve sexual organs, then?

You make this mistake a lot, thinking that evolution theory says organisms "need" to evolve in a certain direction. It's not a mistake that anyone in biology makes.

There is no "need". There's random mutation shaped by natural selection, sometimes leading to a path that's more successful at staying alive and reproducing.

If walking on land is so great,
why did the ancestors of modern whales move back into the oceans?

 

[mamooth]

Sure. DNA and RNA just randomly evolved.

Bzzzzt. Totally wrong.

Mutation is random. Natural selection is not.

That's where almost every creationist faceplants hard. Evolution is not random.

Every time.

 

[mamooth]

You and many brainwashed earthlings would have us believe that an asexual organism evolved sex organs over billions of years. Supposedly, half of these asexual beings began to develop male organs, while the other half decided to develop female organs. But before the organs were fully developed, they continued to reproduce via "fission" or "mitosis." Then, one day, ** poof ** male organs became functional at the same time that female organs became functional and everyone started having sex orgies and were able to carry little youngsters in their wombs until birth.

So why do you believe such a crazy thing?

No one else here suggested such insanity, so it's clearly something that came entirely out of your mind. Why did you create such a deranged story?

You're not being intellectually honest. You constantly assign beliefs to others that they don't hold. You make up dumb strawmen, because you can't argue against what people actually say. The Lord of Lies gives big a thumbs-up to your technique.

The whole world of evolutionary biology is at your fingertips on the internet, and you refuse to look at it. You ask dumb questions that you could easily find the answers for yourself, if you didn't deliberately refuse to look at anything that contradicts your weird version of scripture.

Since you're not debating in good faith, why should honest people waste time on you?

(And unlike you, we're very familiar with the other side's arguments. We know what cranks like Behe say, and why their stupid arguments are wrong. Not being in a cult, we're not afraid to read what the other side says.)
