The More We Learn, the Less Room There is for Evolution

[Vastator]

I fixed it: the more we learn, the more we support evolution. The Bible supports evolution.

We will file that with Junk DNA of the OP. It does not exist.

We will file it the factual science studies. The far right evangelical take on Bible and evolution is hokeum. Always has been.

You can't address the OP so you go on a hate filled rant. So typical.

Science and Bible dovetail. Far right evangelicalism bases its hate on others who disagree with its principles of hatred and exclusion.

Yep, you can't refute the fact that evolutionists lost a huge chunk of their argument when we learned that junk DNA does not exist.

Sure you can. Evolutionary theory isn't predicated on, or beholden to, the idea that junk DNA exists. What a bizarre, and pointless straw man you've crafted...

 

[sealybobo]

For the past few decades most of the DNA was considered filler, and evolutionists claimed it was how DNA had the ability to become more diverse.

But now we know that everything within DNA has a purpose.

In January, Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, made a comment that revealed just how far the consensus has moved. At a health care conference in San Francisco, an audience member asked him about junk DNA. “We don’t use that term anymore,” Collins replied. “It was pretty much a case of hubris to imagine that we could dispense with any part of the genome — as if we knew enough to say it wasn’t functional.” Most of the DNA that scientists once thought was just taking up space in the genome, Collins said, “turns out to be doing stuff.”

Is Most of Our DNA Garbage?

Still no empirical evidence of any species turning into another species, either.

Well it's already happened millions of years ago. The atmosphere was different back then. More carbon dioxide or monoxide. Point is science has an answer for that.

What about a duck billed web feet platipus? Seems stuck in the middle, no?

And OK, how about this? They found a new bacteria at the bottom of the Dead Sea. Maybe there was a mammal bacteria, bird, reptile, amphibians. Maybe they were all started separately. Still they all crawled out of the water and became what they are today.

If not, how did the first giraffe get here? Were they babies to start off? How did they get here?

I've never doubted the possibility. It seems logical that different sites containing the same organic materials could produce chains of information with similarities between the different offshoots.

We can observe a Finch evolve into a different kind of Finch, but we will never see one evolve into a turtle. Until a species becomes one not of its own kind, the answers we have come up with are lacking at best in my book.

I did a quick search for how all living things are related and there is just so much evidence against you're and Ben Carson's position. It's amazing he passed doctor school

Who the heck is Ben Carson?

Black guy who ran for GOP. I googled the question about one species turning into another and he said that nonsense. There's so much evidence we are related.

And again it doesn't matter because you must believe all life on land originally lived in the water. If not explain to me how the first land animals got started.

which Bible, Jake?

Catholics seem coshure with evolution

really? based on which Bible passage?

I don't know I just know Catholics are cool with evolution and science. At least the moderate ones. Why are you Catholic? What does the Bible say?

I grew up Roman Catholic. Did you mean changing water into wine is evidence of evolution

 

[Nosmo King]

Let's see...

When seeking answers on the origin of mankind we can either believe in the musings of a Bronze Age philosopher who could not conceive of a AA battery, cotton candy or the Mississippi River valley or, 21st century science.

I'll take science.

Of course we almost have the same DNA as a banana, but are you a banana?

That's what I'm saying. He acts like the point he made debunks evolution and it really doesn't.

And why aren't they this critical about their creation story? It's impossible scientifically but that doesn't bother them

If you go back far enough they think all life is related. Common ancestor. How do you think the first banana tree got here?

Oh, that guy. lol I've been unplugged for a while.

Anyway, none of that matters to me if we can't pinpoint the actual origin of anything. It's all to be taken with a healthy dose of objective skepticism and a desire to continue learning, even after I think I've found the "correct" answer. That's the point of science if you ask me.

It might help you realize how ridiculous your belief is if you say it out loud. Don't just say genius. Tell me how you actually believe God put adult animals on earth with the wave of his hand.

It's impossible for you not to realize how idiotic your belief is.

And what about all the animals that went extinct?

I'm confused. You mean DIDN'T happen literally, right?

If it's an allegory then it didn't really happen: a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. So these are stories with messages behind them.

Those ancient men couldn't have imagined evolution. They couldn't understand where we came from and how we got here. Best they could come up with was the Genesis story. Only one problem with it. In order to believe it you have to believe God poofed adult animals into existence. That's not science that ignorant fairy tales.

Imagine fully grown adults believing that a god poofed the deer, giraffe, dinosaurs, coo coo birds, wooly mammouth, birds, frogs, snakes, monkey, beatles, ants, mosquitos, trilobites, duck billed platipus. He poofed all of them into existence one day. They weren't raised by parents. They just arrived suddenly as full grown zebra, turtles, cats, moose, bear, tigers, seals. Magically.

If you are raised by people who tell you this story as a fact, yes you will believe that

Then God commanded, “Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings, and let the air be filled with birds.” So God created the great sea monsters, all kinds of creatures that live in the water, and all kinds of birds. And God was pleased with what he saw. He blessed them all and told the creatures that live in the water to reproduce and to fill the sea, and he told the birds to increase in number. then God commanded, “Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life: domestic and wild, large and small”—and it was done.

Why can theists believe this but not that reptiles and humans have a common ancestor?


Then God said, “And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, the birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small.” 27 D)" data-cr="#cen-GNT-26D" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 0.625em; line-height: 22px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; top: 0px;">So God created human beings, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female, 28 blessed them, and said, “Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth and bring it under their control. I am putting you in charge of the fish, the birds, and all the wild animals. 29 I have provided all kinds of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat; 30 but for all the wild animals and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy plants for food”—and it was done. 31 God looked at everything he had made, and he was very pleased. Evening passed and morning came—that was the sixth day.
