Young-Earthers, Can you even name the model of evolution used today?

Question

Without looking it up of course. Or name any of it's Laws. Yes laws, you'd know them if you did even a bit of actual research on the subject.

Since you can't tell me the first thing about genetics why reject evolution? With all the evidence including endogenous retrovirus's, shared transposons etc, why?

And so far nope, 10 answers and not one can even name the model.

Sorry evolution IS observed all the time, hundreds of examples of new species are documented.

There is no such thing as micro/macro evo- just like no micro/macro gravity. Those distinctions were invented by young-earthers to deny the reality of evolution.

Smoething CAN come from nothing- (quantum space fluctuations)but that is irrelevant to the topic. You are confusing abiogenesis (origin of life) and cosmology (origin of spatio-temporal contiuum) with evolution (diversity of life)

I'm waiting for you to name the model or any of evolution's laws.

Actually I am not using terms I shouldnt be using. Evolution has several laws (but you guys cant name them). Just like gravity it is a set of theories, laws, facts and hypothesis. Theories explain the facts.

Answer 1

Like you, I've never met an anti-evolutionist who could actually tell me anything accurate about evolution.

Their position argues from ignorance.

Answer 2

I freely admit that my field of expertise is not "evolutionary theory", and I am therefore unable to answer your question as it stands. However, I likewise doubt you could quote all (without looking them up) of the existing scientific proofs which show the earth is less than 1 million years old. Does this mean you could not, given time, research and prove them to be accurate or false? Of course not.

Likewise, it doesn't take an idiot to go to Wikipedia, type in "evolution" and review the "current research" section. Information is always available assuming one chooses to look at it. If you are having trouble locating someone who can intelligently debate the issue, see my link below.

One thing that should bother you is the fact that you are defending "the current" evolutionary theory, which implies that the theory is constantly changing. How do you know that what you are being taught today won't be asserted to be entirely false (by the same people promoting it today) ten years from now?

The way in which you ask your question implies that you are extremely closed-minded about any proposed solution for mankind's origin save evolutionary theory, and I strongly suspect you are less interested in actually debating the issue as much as you are attempting to belittle those who base their decisions about life's more perplexing questions with the pre-supposition that God exists.

If you truly wish to explore the issues about which your question revolves, I suggest you begin with the Institute for Creation Research's online site. I have provided the link to their topics page. This and other sites will help you come to a balanced, educated decision about the matter. May God give you guidance as you research this issue.


And since you seem so hung up on someone giving you a specific name for the theory. . .

The modern evolutionary synthesis (often referred to simply as the new synthesis, the modern synthesis, the evolutionary synthesis, neo-Darwinian synthesis or neo-Darwinism), generally denotes the integration of Charles Darwin's theory of the evolution of species by natural selection, Gregor Mendel's theory of genetics as the basis for biological inheritance, random genetic mutation as the source of variation, and mathematical population genetics.

Answer 3

No, sweetie, you still don't get it. It's not a law until it has been proven 100% of the time and does not violate other laws. Any supposed "Laws of Evolution" would have to go through tons of research and procedure to become a law. Evolution does not have laws, just mere ideas.If you believe in evolution it's your religion, because you BELIEVE it to be true, not because you can prove it. So, yes, you are using terms you should not, whether you BELIEVE you are or not.

Well, it's hard to keep up because evolution keeps changing! :) Actually, you are using scientific terms you shouldn't be using. In order for something to be a scientfic "law" thre is a very specific process it has to go through, called the scientifc method or process. And once it has gone through that process, starting with a question and ending up a law, it has to be 100% dead on 100% of the time, and it cannot violate any other laws. No exceptions. Does evolution do that? No. How can I say no? Because it has never been seen. Have you ever seen any thing change in to something else. I don't mean a variation, I mean have you seen a fish turn in to a cow? And why don't we have any "tweens? Can evolution be recreated in an observable atmosphere? No. Your "theory" or "law" violates at least one law (paraphrased) "You cannot create something from nothing" (That's for all the big bangers out there.
Now, on the flip side: can I prove creation? no. Can I take creation through the scientific process? no. Have I ever seen creation ? Outside of births of babies, no. So what's up? I BELIEVE it to be true. It is my religion. And based on that, evolutionists BELIEVE evolution to be true, and that makes it their religion, too. Thus it should be subjected to the same scrutiny and skepticism in our public schools as creation is. It has always baffled me that schools can teach the scientific process, then turn right around and expect children to BELIEVE evolution is true, not based on the process they just taught, but because they "say so".
Thanks for the fun!
PS: don't give me the "macro" "micro" evolution "proof" back in the day we called those variations. they are not changing from one species to another. You can have wolfs and dogs, but they are all canines. Get it?
Show me a cow that used to be a rock and I will listen to you all day long.

Answer 4

Good point. I'd think it'd be fun to challenge creationists to make 10 true statements about evolution (no cut-and-pasting allowed), with the prize being 10 points for best answer.

I sincerely doubt that more than a tiny fraction of them could even come close. Most seem to believe that the silly little comic-book versions of evolution pushed by the creationism groups are actual descriptions of what scientists believe.

Answer 5

Macro-evolution is that what you mean? Or micro-evolution. i totally agree with micro, but macro i don't.
Micro i know is a proven law (and makes tons of sense to me), and that there are laws that say things like living creatures adapt or something like that. . . . . . anyway. That's all I got without going upstairs and checking my old bio notes. I can tell you some stuff about genetics, not a lot, but some. That stuff is interesting, you know? But I don't believe in macro-evolution (but I already said that, LOL). In turn, can you tell me what the Bible says (without looking it up) about being poor? ;)

Answer 6

A few days ago I asked how many anti-evolutionists had read any serious evolutionary work not written by a Creationist, and all I got was a bunch of crap like "Evilution is a lie" or "evolution is a religion. I don't have enough faith to believe in it."

Clearly, not one Creationist who answered had bothered to familiarize themselves at all with evolutionary theory before deciding it was false.

Answer 7

In order for Evolution to be Fact, it has to be a on-going, eternal process. In other words we should see it with our eyes. Has any body seen a Half man Half Simian?

P.S. ....Darwin never mentioned the word Evolution in his book, The Origin of Species.

Answer 8

Flawed

Answer 9

To be religious is to be ignorant of reality.
There are NO christians on here who research anything other than the bible to substantially be able to give valid retorts to anyone not of their faith.
It seems to be fear of losing their faith that keeps them from study.

Answer 10

Jesus' trial and death sentence are both recorded history. not to mention many preists and top leaders and educated men wrote many books about Him and events of His life too.
