No transitional forms have been found.

No "missing link" between men and apes has been unearthed, only frauds.

Genetic research has proven that new information does not arise in a DNA strand to create a new species.

And facts about our universe unknown at the time of Darwin preclude old earth theory.

The plain and simple fact is that those who cling to evolution can no longer be considered avante guard or even smart. They can only be looked upon as hangers-on to a defunct religion of godlessness.

Who will man up to truth and stand with the creator of heaven and earth?

Its true that evolutionary theories are shot full of holes and that there is insufficient evidence to prove the evolutionary hypothesis.

That being said I would hold that there is insufficient evidence to prove anything, especially scientific theories. Einstein is not proven, Newtonian mechanics are not proven etc etc. Scientific theories arise out of a wish to explain natural phenomena. Far from being built from solid foundations they are an attempt to cope with awkward facts. A theory is posited from which the awkward facts can be deduced (that is to say "ABC happens because of Law X"). The theories get revised when new awkward facts arise ("Ah, but law X implies H and we don't get H" and some smart alec comes up with Law P that explains ABC and H).

Now there are certainly awkward facts that need explaining. You say that no "missing link" has been found, but any theory has to explain the awkward facts of all these bones of (perhaps unrelated) hominids lying about. It also has to explain all those dinosaur bones and other archaic species.

The problem of moving from one species to another is a particularly tricky one. Particularly tricky because it enters the philosophical realm. What is a "species" (or any other general statement)? There are two schools of thought called, way back then, the "realist" and the "nominalist". The "realist" position is that there exists an entity within each thing, say a dog, which makes it a dog. If you like the position says that there is an "essence of doggyness" common to all dogs but no wolves or coyotes. The nominalist rejects this, universals are the way we order the world. If something is similar to another thing we call it the same thing. If its sufficiently different we may decide to call it something else. To a certain extent the term "dog" to a nominalist is voluntary. To the realist it is not, it wouldn't matter if this dog was born of a cow and spent all its time chewing the cud, if it had the "essence of doggyness" it would be a dog.

Now the age of the earth is another real problem. Certain facts preclude an old earth theory. Certain facts preclude a young earth theory. Certain facts preclude a middle aged earth theory. I wouldn't quite write everything off yet though. In the young decades of the last century physics had a lot of awkward facts to contend with that seemed to rule out all the available theories. Then along came Einstein and sorted them all out. Now its onto the next lot of awkward facts! Maybe someone will come with a better theory whch does explain all the awkward facts - until we find some more.

I have been studying Science for the last 10 years
and as for the Theory of Evolution, it is Just that a Theory.
it is basiically like trying to guess what a picture is by only looking at less than one percent of the whole picture.
There are millions of species alive today, and many more species have gone extinct over the history of this planet. also out of the billions of single life forms that have lived on this planet very few Fossils have actually been discovered.(this is the <1%)
these fossils that have been discovered have been used to map out a Theory of Evolution composed of Plateus (rungs of a ladder or steps on a staircase, but with nothing connecting the steps or rungs together) of species. but there are no fossils that have been found that are between these Plateus. for the Theory to ever become a Fact what is reqired is to find fossils that clearly show the change of one species into another (rope, rope-ladder(rungs), or chain of fossil evidence, when graphed will show a slope with horizontal flat sections) or for some currently living animal to give birth to something that is unable to reproduce with the Mother species but is able to reproduce with one that is identical to it.

An Evolutionary-Mutation would be fertile,but would have a completely different Genome from the Parent Species, unlike a normal mutation which damages the genetic code leaving the child infertile or with severe birth defects that ussually end in death, example is a mule which is the cross between a donkey and a horse. though it is similar to the parent species it is unable to reproduce with either species or with other crosses. it is there fore infertile and there for it is a mutation and is not considered a new species.

Many people have tried to claim that the Finches of Galapagos Island and other areas of the world are able to evolve. this is not the case all it is is a case of special specialization. it is simply a case of rececive genes taking dominance through variences in food availability. (the differences noticed in the Finches have been beak sizes and shapes).

As food availability changes the finches that have the genes which will enable them to make the best use of the available foods will gain dominance over those finches whose beak genes are specialized toward the food that is out of season or no longer available. there fore the average shape of the beaks will change over time in acordance to what food is readily available.

The finches have not changed species thay have just become specialized within their species. this can also cause some Genes to become extinct within a Species or Race. this is why "Race" could even be concidered to exist. Can make the Species Stronger or weaker based on what genes are lost over time.

On the other hand if the finches were no longer able to reproduce with the parent species but were only able to reproduce with other finches with the same beak size and shape then that Would mean that they had undergone Evolutionary-Mutation.
But this could only be tested in a Labratory under Precice Conditions.

Your statement that "Zero evidence for evolution has been unearthed since Darwin's book was published almost 150 years ago" is absolutely erroneous.

As a matter of fact, thanks to a massive drought about 25 years ago, evolution in action was actually witnessed.

*See Rosemary and Peter Grant's work on Isla Daphne Major in 1977 on the species of finch -Geospiza fortis. (This is just ONE example and you are TOTALLY ignoring all the work in Oduvai Gorge which has not only unearthed A missing link but SEVERAL (none of which have been found as FRAUDS).

Just because something doesn't agree with your particular worldview doesn't mean you can just IGNORE it and PRETEND it doesn't' exist. That is beyond illogical.

I have many christian friends who firmly believe that evolution was the mechanism used by their god to create the world (which is still a work in progress). I have even spoken to clergy who feel similarly.

These ideas are not necessarily mutually exclusive and it is ridiculous to continue sticking your head in the sand, denying mounting evidence and PROOF of evolution that CONTINUES to be found, contrary to your uninformed statement.

To simply answer your question, you are completely wrong on all your statements. They have found many transitional fossils for many species. They have found many transitional fossils for humans. Only a few have been questioned as frauds, but the majority are real. And science has told us so much since Darwin, he would look like an ignorant fool by today's standards. I don't know how you could have learned all the lies you stated. Do you get your knowledge of the world from religion or something?

You go too far with this. No one can reasonably deny that things have evolved. The issue as I see it is whether or not the process that resulted in the biological diversity and complex organisms that exist today relied purely on random selection or there was some form of intelligent guidance involved.

Like it or not, Darwin's theory is mathematically improbable.

And the people that (like on this board) attack people who dare to question this scientifically divine precept don't show me much, as usual. Typically they just call names and imply that anyone that dares question Darwin is an unenlightened bible basher, rather than addressing any legitimate points they make.

Maybe that's because they can't.

Hypothetically, of direction: technological awareness is in contact with regard to the "how." It examines organic procedures and tries to verify HOW they ensue, and documenting the actual activities which got here approximately. very like how technological awareness can let us know what the universe is made out of, and bodily the area it got here from and the procedures that made it, yet they could't clarify why that's here in the 1st place. God, on the different hand, has continually been with regard to the "why." He has continually taken a glance at historic activities and commented on WHY they ensue, what He became into attempting to show and why the gadget of the worldwide became into set up because it became into. In gentle of that, IMO that's smart that God could be extra in contact with regard to the reality that He became into at the back of all of it than the medical information approximately what got here from what and precisely how each and every thing went from residing in the sea to land and air. If He became into certainly at the back of it, that's the extra significant actuality? That He created it, or that He used ___ approach? (that's assuming, of direction, that the thought this question is in step with is in actuality genuine.)

And there is ample evidence about the ocean splitting, immaculate conceptions, the existence of Heaven, etc...
Btw, before you bash people, do your reading. Numerous studies have been published. The pattern of human fetal development shows all the stages of evolution.

Not all the fossils that were unearthed were frauds, (some were eg; Piltdown Man) most were misinterpreted by biased scientists toward a theory that more and more resembles The Emperors New Clothes.

No other serious alternative to a Creator God has been put forward.
