Creationists: What (if any) scientific evidence would convince you of the validity of evolution (see more)?

Question

If your answer is "nothing would convince you" than you are not at all open to rational discussion or thought.

But for you other evolution deniers, what would it take?

I will try to respond to everyone's response in time so keep checking back.

Thanks

silverbirch: Yea, I know, I've been told that many times (I know you're probably right) I'm just stubborn.

Precious: You did not answer the question.

serah s: It sounds like you accept the findings of science, now work on your English.

ckrug: Talking monkeys are NOT predicted by evolutionary theory (why do you think it would be evidence?). BTW, many chimps can vocalize human words (albiet they are limited by their vocal chords). You almost answered your own questions in that last part... other primates DID adapt just fine in different directions (remember, evolution is not directional). Different kinds of primates adapted in different ways to their particular situtations. They did not all face the same conditions that lead to the hominid line.

Bob L: 1. What do you mean by "the missing link"? There are plenty of fossil missing links:

2. Carbon-dating is only one of many methods of dating (interestingly enough, the dates agree for the other dating techniques used). Carbon dating also only gets us back in the 10's of thousands of years (other techniques are used to date older materials). Some info. on carbon dating:

Briley4242: I will answer your question with a question: If Americans came from England, why are there people still in England?

Anas: you did not answer the question... and my response to your question is "What failure?"

Creeklops: see my first caviet- you are not open to rational discussion.

Victor ious: you did not answer the question.

Answer 1

What would convince me is this:
1) uneqivocal scientific evidence of "the missing link."
(Since evolution is on-going, a live specimen would be nice.)
2) absolute proof that the Earth's atmosphere has remained unchanged since it was formed. (Calls to question the accuracy of radio-carbon dating.)

Answer 2

I'm worried about those lumps on your head. Banging your head like that is very unhealthy....

AHEM..., and to answer your question -there has yet to be any sound, hard, absolute evidence to prove evolution. If there were, I would give it a good look over. But I've read pretty much all the data and it does nothing but prove that paleontologists tend to make a good deal up as they go along. I site the, Hobbits. Just based on tools nearby they assume a bit much about how these creatures lived and overlooked the possibility that these could have been pets to humans who used those tools.

I could make up (hypothesis) with the best of them on many different angles. The short of it is - if they pose an hypothetical idea as fact, you cant trust their other data which I can only conclude they made up as well.

I am surprised how locked in and narrow minded the evolutionist are - so its a two way street. When people see Jesus coming in the clouds (from the sky) I would suppose many of these will have second thoughts about everything.

Answer 3

I would have to see talking monkeys , us being able to reproduce with a monkey. How come this is the only form of evolution that leaves rejected species behind? in other words When you see evolution in a species , the whole generation adapts together , otherwise the species would not be able to survive ( that's why they supposedly need to adapt) Why didn't all monkeys adapt like the rest of us? Looking at them they adjusted just fine why adapt ?

Answer 4

Why don’t you (the evolutionist) use science to make a judgment about the evolution theory? The validity of any scientific theory is measured by scientific tools and experiments, the results should support or undermine the theory, this is how modern science works. The problem with evolution is that most experimental results deny the theory, and its still prevailing because of the propaganda that its followers use to support it.
Therefore, the question should be redirected to you, how much failure of this theory do you need to convince you it’s not true.

Answer 5

Evolution is voodoo science, there is no proof. It's merely a theory, aka, a guess.

Life can't evolve from non-life. And that is the stumbling block for evolutionists, for they can't explain how the very first life form came into existence.

Looks like Darwin has made a monkey out of you evolutionists.

HA HA HA HA HA

Answer 6

For most, should be all, creationists, our belief in creation stems from our strong belief and faith in God. In Our Holy Bible it says in Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God CREATED.......... For us to believe any thing else is to deny God, to not believe, to doubt. Because the way God set things up, scientists will never be able th agree on the exact age of the earth. Atheist will not believe, because you cannot prove Gods existence. You can keep trying to disprove God, or prove evolution, but, we know God, in our hearts we know the truth.

Answer 7

I do not reject evaluition I know God can do all things in his own time and iots more likely he used it than created the world in 6 days my son says well he beleaves God could do it in a second if he wonted to but obviusly he did not

Answer 8

Evolution is merely the attempt of mankind to explain what his mind cannot comprehend, and to justify what he cannot control. It seems humans have a problem accepting that they are not the most all-powerful beings in all the universe.

Answer 9

For one, you would have to present evidence defeating irreducible complexity for you to convience me to believe in the Evolution Fairy.

Answer 10

You are banging your head against a brick wall. They don't need, and will reject, any evidence. They believe in their 2000 year old fairy story.
