Evolution-deniers, why do you scatter like roaches when somebody starts talking about or asking for specifics?

Question

hmmmmmmmm?

For instance:

Specifically, what primates were on the ark?

How old is the earth?

What is the mechanism that prevents micro evolution from becoming macro-evolution over the course of millions of years?

What evidence do you have that carbon dating is unreliable?

If God cretated the earth in a pangea-like state, why are there so many species that we find in Africa but not South America?

I see all kinds of broad generalizations on here, but when specifics are brought up you scatter like roaches. Why?

Gorillas, chimps, lemers

From which of these did orangutangs arise?

A few million years at least.

OK, now we are getting somewhere. But what is this based on?

Regarding micro and macro, if two popuatlions of the same species were separated geogrphically, wouldn't micro eventually go macro over the course of a few million years?

What evidence do you have that carbon dating is unreliable? - Nothing is reliable all the time. Human error, machine error, sample error.

But why woulnd't those errors be flushed out over the course of multiple (in this case thousands) of measurements?

If God cretated the earth in a pangea-like state, why are there so many species that we find in Africa but not South America? - That's where they migrated to before Pangea split up.

So the dispersal patterns of species just happened to exactly mmic the evntual fissure in the land?

Answer 1

Who scatters? Some of us are too busy to always answer your asinine questions.

Specifically, what primates were on the ark? - Gorillas, chimps, lemers, and uncle Louie.

How old is the earth? - A few million years at least.

What is the mechanism that prevents micro evolution from becoming macro-evolution over the course of millions of years? - The fact that we have seen no fossile evidence of between stages in evolution. Mirco is not Macro and if it were happening all the time, we'd see more evidence.

What evidence do you have that carbon dating is unreliable? - Nothing is reliable all the time. Human error, machine error, sample error.

If God cretated the earth in a pangea-like state, why are there so many species that we find in Africa but not South America? - That's where they migrated to before Pangea split up.

Answer 2

Do not know what "kind" of primate was on the ark (it could have been only one kind, but it has diversified into all the ones we have today. This is what is called micro-evolution, and it is the only evolution that IS science).

The earth is about 6,000 years old.

The mechanism is that God told every thing to reproduce after their kind, not become new kinds.

When you bring in something to date, they want to know how old you think it is, that way their story will match. Also the base line keeps changing, and so scientist have set the base at the 1050 level (I am not sure of the exact date).

There was no Pangaea, when God divided the earth it was at the Tower of Babel, when He divided the people by giving them different languages. The polar caps (from the ice shield) have melted down and separated the land masses more since then also.

The different species are a result of micro-evolution.

Any other questions?

Answer 3

> Specifically, what primates were on the ark?
Noah, his three sons, their wives, and probably macaque monkeys.

> How old is the earth?
About 4.5 billion years old.

> What is the mechanism that prevents micro evolution from becoming macro-evolution over the course of millions of years?
There isn't any.

> What evidence do you have that carbon dating is unreliable?
It isn't reliable for recent organisms due to the burning of fossil fuels putting "old" carbon into the atmosphere.
Some oddities have been unearthed, such as diamonds that still have small but measurable amounts of C-14 in them.

> If God cretated the earth in a pangea-like state
Who said God did that?

Answer 4

They will continue to deny it, whatever you write. The problem is, they rely more on a particular interpretation of the Bible than on reason. There ARE different stages of evolution represented in the fossil record. Why do I keep hearing evolutionist-deniers who say there aren't. Evolution has been proved time and again.

The irony is that the evolution-deniers base their belief on the matter on a creation story that originates in Babylonian and Sumerian mythology. Even the story of Noah was originally a Sumerian tale. The Bible was written during the Babylonian exile, after Jews had been exposed to Babylonian religion and mythology for decades.

Why then do they not accept the scientific explanation of human origins, rather than pre-Christian Babylonian and Sumerian explanations?

Answer 5

Some Christians today still make the mistake of defending irrelevant positions in an authoritarian manner. Equally some scientists try to use their science as an authoritarian stick with which to berate religious beliefs. Thankfully there are now far more scientists who realize there are limits inherent in the kind of knowledge that science can give us.

Answer 6

You're just going to the wrong circles. The questions you're asking are not that difficult to answer. You're just asking folks that may have not studied enough to refute your stance. But I can gaurantee you that if you bring your questions to actual scientists that deal with this area, you will find sufficient answers. Check out this book called "Case for a Creator" packed with info.

Answer 7

Ok, if some fails to answer all these question, does it mean that evolution is proved? Hah! We don't have accurate answer of any of these questions. But that does not mean that any contrary hypothesis should be accepted as truth..

Answer 8

The whole problem with evolutionists is that they ONLY look for evolution. The same is for Creationists.
