I know that this may be offensive, but i would like to prove some people wrong about evolution and try to convert you to Christianity, but don't report me. First of all, there are no rain marks layers of places like the Grand Canyon. This concludes that the layers formed quickly (through the flood). The embryos is another thing. The guy who drew the pictures said that he made up half the things. The way they date fossils is circular reasoning because they date the fossils by the layer and the layer by the fossils that they find. There are plenty more reasons that i would like to share, but i'm afraid you won't answer if i put your religion down too much.
Please Share your thoughts and feeling about it. No swearing please or i will report you
Christian

You're sadly misinformed about, well, just about every aspect of this.
Don't believe everything you read.
Oh, and as for your efforts to convert people, the less you open your mouth, the better you'll do.

I'm not trying to be mean, but you show a complete lack of understanding of the science behind evolution, geology, and anthropology. Rain marks are not going to be seen, even on a geological place like the grand canyon (first off, it was the river that slowly formed the grand canyon, not rain). They date fossils with carbon dating, or other radioactive decay dating, not only by the layer it is in. I've heard about every reason for why people don't believe in evolution. Most of the reasons show a lack of knowledge and understanding on the subject, and the others can be explained by science and math.

I've said it to many before you and i will say it again... Please, for the love of your god, please! understand the science before you go around making yourself appear completely ignorant. This is not a put down, I'm not calling you stupid... just intellectually lazy.
Now... The Grand Canyon formed from the constant erosion of the Colorado river on it's banks. The absence of "rain marks" whatever those are, proves nothing about a mythical great flood.
Embryos thing... what "embryos thing?" Please Please PLEASE cite studies that you wish to use as evidence. Nobody is going to know what you are talking about if you refer to studies as "things" and researchers as "the guy."
Fossils are not only dated by they layers in which they are found. Carbon dating and Radiometric dating are used as well. It's obvious however that the deeper the layers are older than the ones closer to the surface. Using mathematics and comparison you can use these layers to determine approximate dates of the layers and fossils found within them... it's not circular reasoning because the layers aren't dated by the fossils found in them as you say.
Now, If you want to convert me to Christianity then why are you making yourself look like a fool? Wouldn't it be a more effective use of your time to look for undeniable proof of the existence of God, Heaven, Jesus, Hell, Angels, or Satan and present those for review rather than try to demolish accepted scientific theory with rubbish? Why don't you spend more time examining your religion and what merit it has, what evidence it can provide and use that to proselytize? Don't you think that would be more to the point? Finally... One does not "believe in" evolution. There is no faith involved in accepting it on it's merit. You can either accept it, or choose not to... believing in something doesn't make it real and the same goes for the converse of that statement.

There is no need to believe in evolution. It happens. It is like believeing in the sun. You can not believe in it if you choose, but it is still there, and very real.
Your analysis of the Gand Canyon's formation is bewildering. How can you conclude that an erosionary process was done by a month long massive flood?
The embryo drawings were done 100 years ago. There have been advances in every spectrum of science since that further prove evolution.
Strata is used to date fossils alongside other methods such as radiometric dating and using fossils that only existed in certain eras.
Go to school and stop getting your science from drdino.com. He is a fraud and you are an idiot.

LOL!!! Date the fossils by the layer and layer by the fossil??? Did your priest tell that to you. It's called carbon 14...They can tell by the amount of carbon in it...Just do some research and it will explain it. Second, I don't believe the guy made that up...I have never heard tht before, sounds like something else your priest told you. Third Atheism isn't a religion it is a lack of. 4th..It is a theory, not a law, people will continue to study and come up with better explanations but at the time being i must say it is a much more rational theory than some sky daddy pointing his fingers and creating everything.
You post is just glowing with ignorance to a point where it is humorous...I wish you had a mind that had a bit of logic so you could laugh with me.

I think everyone accepts evolution, though some may cast around for reasons to deny it. It's a simple and obvious fact that all living things are related by common descent, and the role of Charles Darwin, though immensely valuable, was merely to elucidate the mechanism for a principle that all thinking people could clearly see was true already. The subsequent 150 years or so has served to put an enormous amount of flesh on the bones of possibly the best supported, and least disputed (amongst real scientists) conclusions in all of science.
Evolution is a fact.

Ok, Ok, so many discrepencies my friend...
Evolution has nothing to do with Sedentary Markings in the GC..thats Geology. Their has never been any proof of the flood, and if their was it would have been a localised Middle Eastern affair, not something to do with the Americas.
Secondly, 'the guy who drew the pictures', who is assume is Leonardo Da Vinci, would take bodies from morgues to study, then interpret what he saw. Hence, his pictures have a small round object, know a 'Soul' in the middle of them.
Both of these thigns have nothing to do with Evolution, which we see in practise every day, and in the structure of our Genetic DNA. We have evidence and Logical, Rational arguments behind our beliefs.
You, my friend, have a Book.
So please, answer me this, why do YOU believe in somethign so obviously unfounded in any real fact of reason?

Kind of hypocritical, huh? Don't report me but I'll report you. To be 100% honest, you don't sound like you're very well educated on the subject. Get some real evidence then I would be happy to talk to you. Check out the wikipedia article on evolution or try talkorigins.org.

I don't even see how you could view those as valid reasons that disprove evolution. Have you read the papers lately? Lucy and a new skeleton, called "Lucy's baby" were both found somewhat recently in Africa, and have traits that are both human and ape-like, very much the missing link we have searched for.

Yeah, Grand Canyon was formed by a giant finger pushing into earth. really.
